Dawnlark Plains Nasty freestyle

It came as a (somewhat nasty) surprise that Redtail Rise was quite close to the sirens' former stomping grounds. After discovering this, Junior felt like approaching Saena and encouraging her to move further north or south along the coast. But she quickly realized the selfishness of this impulse and quashed it. Did it really matter anyway? They were clearly gone, hopefully never to return. It made her feel better when she squatted and urinated copiously in the heart of Monolith Forest.

Junior then returned inland a ways, bypassing the rise to explore the plains on the other side. They were relatively boring and the landscapes to the northeast beckoned her. Yet the yearling ventured no further today. She roamed the wide open spaces for a while, then flopped on the ground facing Redtail Rise. After discovering the proximity of Ankyra Sound, the Outrider now felt totally oriented in relation to the other territories she knew. Much had probably changed in the past several months, though the landscape certainly hadn't.

She felt a bit tired, though she wasn't hungry. Junior pondered taking a nap. She stretched out on the grass, then let her chin sink onto her forelegs. That's when she noticed how dusty and grimy they were, presumably from all the traveling. Sitting up again, the yearling began to give herself a bath, starting with her scarred forelegs and culminating with her hind leg hiked in the air as she gave her nether regions a thorough washing.
