Redsand Canyon The world was naught but sand and wind

It was noon when she found the canyon. 
Minna had set out wordlessly, her emotions wild and needing time outside the territory. First there had been the girl, Lilith, that had come with her to the border only to be attacked by Aaron. How was she to know the alpha harboured a deep dislike for the creatures? Her ignorance of this had led to her being demoted to Omega, though Amara assured her that is was but for a short time. Then there had been the horrid coyote, and the illness, and Leto. But worst of all, the takeover, and the horrible danger the whole pack was in. So she had vanished, not telling anyone, wishing to be free of her constraints for a mere day.

And now, she gazed down and twisting rock, red and orange. The colour was striking, the twisted shaped even more so. Never had Minna seen such things before, and it amazed her. She paced the steep drop, searching for a place to get down. When she found it, a single narrow path that included many jumps and precarious edges, she took it, and soof found herself at a higher end of the canyon. She paced downwards still, gazing at the twisted shapes silently.
