"You're a very good climber" Sarkon admitted. He too was burned down with a metal halberd and wooden shield, and his climb, though steady, was much slower than if he had climbed with only his bare hands and feet. Luckily, he was able to make it to the top in a reasonable amount of time. He had hardly felt her tail bump into him, but he took it as a kind of playful gesture. 

He reached the top of the tree and pointed towards the distance to what looked like a rocky hill, only that it appeared to have been built or carved. "Those ruins way over there are the lost city. If we move quickly, we can be there by nightfall."
