Little Goat Mountain New Route

She had been so stealthy , following Valette since she had left the borders, a determined and absolutely stubborn shadow. there was no way Valette would be leaving them, at least, not without her. she too wants to see what lay beyond the borders, and without telling anyone of her intentions-not even Nikai- she had set off and followed her mentor.

but tiredness weighed her clumsy steps, and it wasn't long before she skidded down a short incline with a gasp, setting rocks falling down the rockface, resond in dully against the snow. until then, she had been following Valette steps to the best of her ability, placing her tiny paws inside the bigger tracks left by the huntress. but now a trail branched of clumsily from the main trail as the girl scuttled behind a tumble of rocks,  not at all wanting to be found.
