Cradled away deep in a dense tropical jungle, sits a majestic waterfall, the perfect place for Dexter to take a quick break and freshen himself up. At least that was the original idea as after half an hour passes, our short maned adventurer hasn't quite resumed his journey, let alone shown any intention of leaving. But who can blame him, his expression very much indicative of the wondrous sensations he's experiencing. Soothed as he bathes under the magical, refreshing, soul cleansing waters that soaks and massages his golden fur; while his fluffy ears are graced by the song of nature that meshes so perfectly with the crystal clear waters pouring from above. The glorious sun rays shining down to bounce off the colorful environment, hitting Dexter’s eyes with untold vibrance and beauty.

Before Dexter set out to traverse this vast jungle, he'd heard some of the local sharing tales of hidden treasures deep within. Numerous legends about secret gold stashes or incredible artifacts past down through the generations of those who called these lands home. And although this did peek his interest some before, right now he felt his own deep sense of satisfaction, as to him he'd discovered the real treasure. A once in a life time experience no less, he thought as he continued to embrace the magical waters with a slight laugh to himself. As much as he enjoyed everything about this place, Dexter figured a special treasure like this is best kept secret. Hidden away to prevent much disturbance from the outside world and allow some other explorer to come along during their exotic travels. Experiencing the same joy of discovery before hopefully leaving this place to rest peacefully for many years, decades if not centuries to come...
