Redsand Canyon Forever not so long

the canyon was hers.

she sat on the high walls overlooking the sands below, sheltering from her father's light at its broiling peak, and reluctantly sliding from the shade at the higher walls as the sun slid down towards the Underworld.

she kept a watchful eye over her domain when her eyes, flames in her sockets, slid over the sands below. she became increasing aware of a presence clad in dark chocolate sneaking through the red and gold stones and walls. her hackles raised at the sight, because she saw the intent in his movements as his body's speed intensified with the coming of night.

before she lost him to the night she slipped down her lofty throne, stalking him. despite the appearance of this mortal form, she was a lionness through and through. and she followed in, intent on closing in on the dark beast before Ra's rays disappeared for the day.
