Two Eyes Cenote [m] hard odds to beat when you're on all fours

He supposed it was only a matter of time before his paws itched to travel again. Talisman had no intention of abandoning The Tribe, yet he decided to lean into his wanderlust today by heading out toward the nearby dunes. Maybe he would find something useful out there to bring back to his kin.

From the top of the tallest dune, he could see the cenote in the distance. His pale eyes squinted as he watched tiny figures coming and going from what looked like two large holes in the ground. The other members of The Tribe had cautioned him about this place, though Talis was suddenly helpless to resist his curiosity.

He ventured closer with a slow, wary step, stopping often to observe with all his senses. By the time he came within earshot of Muat-riya’s claim, he was covered in desert dust. He heard the slosh of water and swallowed. He was parched, he realized. From up close, he couldn’t see down into the sinkholes, though the young coyote was almost certain he would find water down below.

Just let me know if it’s not cool to plunk him in here. :)
