Lake Rodney Blinking out before the burst

At some point she had known this day would come. She had come as close as she wanted to when it came to the Caldera and could see the way it jutted up from the landscape. She had to trust that @Sebastian would hear her call - but then he might not or he might be so upset with her that he didn't want to see her. She was eager to get home to the forest and after crossing the mountains again she'd rested on a far bank of the lake until she'd felt her anxiety was the highest. No turning back now - if she didn't call him and didn't face her family she would be even more disgraceful. 

The girl lifted her muzzle to the air and let loose a melodic call - only for her father. It was at least a relief that the least welcoming member of the Caldera couldn't hear her to ruin things. She let out a shaky breath when her howl had ended, sitting up to wait and hope that her father actually showed.
