Firestone Hot Springs Darkfall

The night was cooler than the day; one of several reasons she chose to travel at night compared to the day. It took a lot of effort to stay awake and even more effort to sleep during the day, for it was not what her body was meant for but she could not find it in herself to switch back to the way of the norm. The night was more comforting and had little interaction. Most things she was able to do, anyway, so it was not interfering in things she needed. When it had fallen, she stirred to find the darkness surrounded her. An old abandoned den had been a temporary dwelling the last few days and she found herself parched, mouth dry and painful.

Key shook her fur quickly, shaking particles from her coat and destroying the peace that enveloped her. Her grey eyes blinked a few times, adjusting quickly. A scent caught her nose, though, as she walked and through the darkness she saw a shape illuminated by the dark sky. Her nose wrinkled at the smell but she moved, making a circle as the wind blew down against her. She contemplated her next move but did little except move a few feet forward, remaining parallel to the female.
