Sequoia Coast so long, little chapel

hi dis post b awkward. I don't know why I have such a weird time getting into new characters sometimes, haha. <___> For @Suinnak (pls work tag y u do dis), also set along the northern reaches of the coast. IN THE DARK AREAS IDK.

In the time following her reunite with Tonravik, Echelon had proceeded further down the coast. The rain had stopped for the time being, the sky opening up with the final hues of the day. They stood in stark contrast to the thick bank of weather to her east, but her eyes once more remained fixated on the sun as it made its crawl to the water. She knew enough about the world to know that it would not extinguish itself once it hit those waters, and hoped that the skies above would remain clear enough that she could gaze on the stars.

She had come so many miles away from her home that she wondered, if the stars here would be similar to the ones of the North. And if they were, she wondered if the auroras would grace her with their presence here too. So far they had not. Her steps began to slow as the sun dipped dangerously close to the shore, and as she settled into a stop, she surveyed her surroundings. Here, with the wind in her favor, she tested it only to find that the salt was still overpowering. But there were more signs of life further down the coast than before, and she could not mistake the prints of her own kind for anything other than what they were.

She smelled them too, but nothing substantial came from it. Nothing recognizable, obviously, and nothing that suggested to her that they were close by. For the most part she had been lucky to avoid company. Company, at least unknown company, had never exactly been associated as a good thing or a bad thing, though another pack company had most certainly been decided as a bad thing. Casting her gaze back to the waters, she shook the memory of the war that had rolled through their homelands.
