Thunder Dome I simply wander around you

Noctura would later realise that he had become somewhat biased about Asterr. He respected her intrinsically, of course — her sheer confidence as a leader, which was neither arrogant nor misguided. He respected her faith, her conviction, her eloquent manner of speaking, and the fact that she was wise beyond her months. But he also liked her in a manner far more personal than that, and he could not help but let that fact contribute to his perception of her.

Asterr's description of the clearing sprang vividly into his thoughts. It sounded very beautiful, bathed in sunlight and yet touched with the occasional powdering of snowflakes.

I wonder if I could find a place that overlooks this clearing, the ebony warrior mused. Somewhere high-up, darker... Just then, he spotted something protruding from the cavern wall up ahead. The wall was jagged, dripping with stalactites, but higher up it suddenly protruded out into a dark ridge, flat and bare, shadowed and invisible unless you looked up or sought it. There would be a stunning view of some of the forest up there on the ridge... but it was not currently clear how to get to it. Do you think that ridge might have a view of it?
