Ankyra Sound even the earth no longer remembers

Reyes had been exploring the rendezvous site, patrolling as he'd probably call it (even though he was deeply distracted by some pretty rocks or chunk of seaweed at the time, and never looked up at his surroundings to properly guard them), when he noticed the repetitive beat of paws against sand. He looked up finally, then peered around, in time to glimpse the shining coat of his brother as Scarab appeared on the scene. He looked to be carrying something and was moving quickly in to the den - and that alone perked Reyes' interest. The cub lunged across the sand and tried to intercept the other boy, but slowed down just as he came upon the den in an effot to sneak up on him.

The boy lingered there for a few seconds. He didn't care if he disturbed Scarab at all, but it felt more fun to be sneaky and quiet - so that's what he attempted. He sniffed at the den entrance but couldn't find anything amiss about Scarab's scent besides the vague smell of something old, kind of like when mom brought bones and skulls around to play with. Had Scarab found something like that? Reyes' little tail whirled behind him in anticipation — and, unable to contain himself, he yipped and plunged in to the den in pursuit of whatever prize the golden boy was trying to hide.

Scaaaab! He hollered, and the drone of his voice rebounded off the walls of the den.
