Falls of the Hinterlands Moonshadows

He'd been restless, laying in his makeshift den. The moon outside was bright as the sun, full and glaring. It shone into the little tunnel of an entryway, stinging his eyes. Eventually, with a huff and a yawn, he'd given up on sleep and pulled himself from the earth. The moon hung large overhead, the skies clear and full of stars. He took a moment to watch them, before deciding he would head away from his den and the not so distant borders of Silver Creek. He'd heard of the Falls of the Hinterlands, of the "moonbow". Rather than linger and try to sleep, he'd make use of his wakefulness and so see the sight himself.

The journey was a pleasant one. Fireflies flickered and bounced on the warm air, singing their songs of seduction. He thought that this walk would be a nice one to take with a ladyfriend, the moonbow a nice date spot. It was well known though he assumed, for he'd heard of it during his short time here. He wound his way among the stone riverbanks, the rock cool on his pads. It certainly was a lovely place, moonbow or not. Finally, he heard the crash of the water ahead. He paused to take a drink from the river, to taste the coolness of the rocks before continuing on. 

Just as he approached the falls, mist flying from the thunderous downpour, a shadow passed over the moon. He glanced up, disgruntled, and saw a large cloud drifting steadily over. He issued a scoff of disapproval, wondering if it would blow away soon enough or bring rain. He'd be severely put out if he'd come all this way just to get rained on. He cast a last sneer at the cloud, expelling air through his nose in a vengeful manner, as if hoping to blow it away himself.

He lowered his gaze back to the falls and thought they were appealing regardless, but he was rather disappointed not to see the reason he'd come in the first place. He decided to sit and wait, enjoying the air in his fur and glancing periodically at the sky. His ears were perked, should anyone come. He certainly didn't want to interrupt a romantic evening for a couple.
