Horizon Ridge You walk around this town like it’s holy land,

With a hint of a strange reluctance, the golden-furred gona had finally turned her coastal expeditions northward again--and planned to eventually reach the cliffs sometime soon. The nights were getting a little chillier lately, though the shifts were subtle, so she knew she had to get towards some focus again before much longer; there felt like a good place to start.

Along the way, night was setting in alongside her trotting path. She had long since begun to gravitate towards the cliff, hoping to find something worth calling shelter near for a brief rest. Instead the winds tickled at her nose, hinting unexpectedly at something familiar, no.. even more so than just that. Dacio..? Her heart went racing, all overeager to confirm, just to see for herself to be absolutely sure. She had not known when to expect him back.. plus, she had been so caught up in her own wayfaring that time had been cast to the wayside, anyway..

But it was not only him she closed in on. Soon enough, with her senses acclimating, she began to realize more. It scarcely could matter, though, for she went streaking towards the situation just shortly after it really started to escalate in earnest, no questions. She saw figures, at least three-no, four. Counting Dacio, who captured her focus quickly--what was he doing? Seeing just barely enough of this, notably with him among the fray, held no part of her back. She wouldn't have him be so outnumbered by their enemies.

Opalia could not pin who all was Rusalka immediately beyond the one female who was familiar, but when it seemed like the darkly-colored, massive beast of a wolf looked at all poised to interfere with her brother's assault, she identified him as her first place to aim. Knowing that so few should expect her arrival, she flattened out her stride to cut in close without warning--then hoping he might be caught up in his own offensives, she lunged her teeth for his haunch--or anywhere near, really, in her attempt to join in officially.
