The Sunspire truth at first light

For @Wraen but AW!

the sun had begun to set, and the ensuing cascade of deep tones across the sky were a thing of wonder. streaks of gold crested the mountain range at first, with a blush just beginning on the fringe; the clouds caught the majority of the glow and their heavy curves became a repeating pattern across the whole of the sky. 

on the terrestrial side, atop one of the many cliffsides of the mountain pack's claim, a creature stirs. the irregular blanket of thickly growing forest was home to many things — and it is no surprise that thirdeye is one of them. he peers from his vantage point within the abandoned hollow of a great old tree, fluffs his feathers, and leans towards the edge with a sleepy glance at the blackness of his surroundings.
