you do slow burns

A long time had past since Ferdie had traversed upon a mountain, suddenly he was reminded of his past, his first pack, called Alaskan Mountain within the Cascade Mountain region, and he realized how much he missed the mountains.

It was a wonder The SunSpire had not called to him earlier. His steps became more confident and sure footed as the moon rose in the sky offering them almost as much light as a the sun might to their keen eyes.

A lingering smile played upon his lips as Ame took the lead, it had been to long since he had smiled genuinely, His heart warmed in his chest. His tail flipped up high over his back, naturally and comfortably, he was more at ease with himself now. The rabbit darted close to him and he lunged snapping his teeth into it's haunches. He nearly fell off the trail and toppled toward lower ground but he managed to back peddle with the screaming rabbit in his jaws. Three massive flicks of his head and the rabbit fell limp; he closed his eyes in pain, the large movement causing his discomfort in his neck. Taking a moment or two to regain himself he quickly picked up pace and followed Ame still holding the Rabbit by it's haunches.

The pair would come upon a sheer rock face with a gentle cooling mist flowing down from it's ridge. the Hot springs couldn't be to far but the climb would be near impossible unless they were part mountain goat, They might have to seek away around the the rock face to find the treasure at the top.

added pictures and things

I was thinking they would come to a rock face something like this and.....


...or...


oh the inspirations for the mountain goat comment came from this




when they get to the top they would have to travel down into the springs, which would have a pool and caves leading further in,
