The Sunspire On a hillside, desolate

Nara was patrolling the north-eastern border. After the events with Redshank, she deemed it necessary to help out with the watch. Even though the matter seemed to be resolved, it was a good idea to intercept any and all intruders before they barreled into the territory like Redshank had done. 

Up until now, the patrol had been rather uneventful and was getting quite tedious. Slowing down, Nara hoped someone also on patrol would catch up with her.

Then a giant boulder caught her attention. It wasn't mossy and dull like the others, but grey and interlaced with bright red stripes. The ground around it was muddy, and that gave her an idea. She dipped one paw in the mud, sat on her hind-legs and carefully placed the paw on the part of the rock facing towards the border, leaving an imprint behind. Indeed, it was an unconventional way of marking one's territory, but it would get the point across. But more importantly, it looked pretty.
