Thunder Dome the way in

Noctura had never ventured up this way before. Being such a gargantuan wolf he was more attracted to the wider plateaus of the mountain and the grassy stretches beneath it. But that didn't mean the jagged ridges were too much of a problem for him — it just meant that Asterr's perches were Noctura's staircase. Where the nimble young female leapt with agility, Noctura moved as a slowmo colossus, huge paws moving from ridge to ridge.

It was interesting... this was a pack full of very large wolves, but the territory itself worked against them somewhat. With her agility and small size, Asterr could dart around and avoid them all if needs be. She had the upper hand and didn't need to boast it. That was true power indeed.

He listened to her words carefully and followed her lead, but took on board the fact that he should probably lead the way physically at this point simply because only he knew what size of gap he could fit through. It might take a little while, so a silence briefly fell as they moved slowly along the perilous edge of the mountain, their eyes sharp. Asterr... he said as they walked. I wonder if I could learn a bit more about you. I'd like to, if you're amenable. Perhaps something about your childhood, or how you first learned of the Dragon King.
