Entirely different situations
Ultimately, Hermes decided to restrain his hunger and weakly flew around the barren wasteland.
Since the sky was now clear, he could finally find out where he was.
'It should still be somewhere around here,' Hermes sifted through his belongings and felt a hard and intricate object in his hand.
"I told you I'd take care of it, Sophus."
This was the wooden sextant Sophus gave him as a gift hundreds of years ago.
It always helped him enormously in unfavorable situations, akin to his current predicament.
The sextant was a tool that navigators used to calculate their latitude relative to the equator.
Hermes put the lens of the wooden sextant to one of his eyes and calibrated the tool.
Then, he made the proper calculations of the sun's angle and elevation above the horizon.
Over the years, he mastered these calculations, and could now perform them mentally.
As he came to his final result, a soft gasp escaped from his mouth.
