Ocean's Breath Plateau Away from the sun

She was happy to patrol the coastal region every now and then. It was certainly a change from her steep and snowy mountains, but at least the weather was cool, and the wind was biting. The cold temperatures suited her just fine, although she did not realize mild winters were often paired with hot summers. Nonetheless, until she experienced such a thing herself, she was happy to remain where she felt as though she was finally beginning to feel like she was a part of a family.

The feeling was so strong, that even the whistle of the sea-born wind began to sound soothing to her. She hummed along tunelessly, moving away from her forested home, moving automatically. Eventually, she and the wind harmonized, a vaguely familiar melody ebbing and flowing like the tide. The longer she listened, the more apparent it became that someone was, in fact, singing out yonder. Her jaws snapped shut, and her gilded ears swivelled forward. Lowering herself into a hunter's position, she stalked the sound until the words became crisp and clear.

The lyrics brought a smile to her maw, caught somewhere between pleased and wistful. It was a charming tune that sounded oddly familiar. "That's a lovely song." She offered, stopping some distance from the snow dusted lump that was singing, hoping not to startle the stranger.
