Dragoncrest Cliffs Someone said something one time, but Daddy didn’t talk too loud

A splash was infinitely better than a splat - Raleska had been waiting for the sickening noise ever since Maia disappeared from view. When at last she braved herself to look down, she saw Maia's head instantly get dunked by a heavy wave.

If she hadn't been sure Maia had almost died, she might have laughed unkindly. "Hold on," Raleska called, tail arcing back and forth for balance as she leapt from ledge to ledge, eventually coming close to a cove where the water seemed shallow and the waves calmer. From her estimate Maia's four legs worked, her spine was functional -- she was lucky she hadn't ended up a pancake at the bottom of the cliff.
