Moonstone Quarry black vultures circling the sky

Tag for @Ridgeback. Day 1 of oestrus. Scouting thread 1/5.

Frøya had felt unsettled most of the afternoon. The young female had gone for a run through the netherwoods, the woodlands which stretched along the lower mountainous slopes of her new home, in attempt to shake off some of her pent up frustration and energy. Relief had only come briefly however, and after spending some time digging vigorously at the earth around her recently claimed fox-den, and tossing and turning inside it in a failed attempt to sleep, Frøya finally decided to stretch her tired legs once more. 

The female felt hot as she slipped away from Moonspear territory, a prickly heat tingling down her spine despite the bitter afternoon chill and the clouded sky above her. She shook her dark coat repeatedly as she moved, as if trying to shake away the feeling of irritation that seemed to cling to her that day. Frøya headed north, curious to investigate the other smaller rocky formation that she had spied in the distance. 

After cutting through the wilderness, her paws eventually loped along the hard stone which formed the top of a rocky quarry. Further down, at the bottom of a steep limestone cliff, her deep orange eyes spotted a large clear pool of water. Even with the skies clouded over, the water seemed to glisten and shimmer as if reflecting the pale light of the moon. Intrigued, and desperate to cool off after her impromptu expidition, the female set about finding a safe trail which would lead her down to the water.
