Ghost Lion Crag forgotten by the gods

@Poltergeist

It was a dreary, overcast day. The insipid grayness matched the bitter cold of the weather. The Mackenzie stuck to the mountain rather than roaming in the lower valley of the Hinterlands, coming upon Ghost Lion Crag. She heard this was the area mountain lions lingered in the Wilds. Feeling a bit reckless, Zsuzsa traversed to this area to check on the population to see how saturated the feline inhabitants were. Unfortunately, she was sorely disappointed as there was no sight of any felines anywhere as of yet. Perhaps they already moved into deep crevasses of the crag for the Winter or were hunting in more densely covered forests of the valley. Giving her paws a break as she had been active with exploring the Hinterlands the last couple of days, Zsuzsa was at an elevation to where she looked out along the horizon and saw as far as the northern point of Alpine Lake in the distance. She was on the side of the crag that hugged the river spilling into the lake; simply following that river from the Strath to here in her wanderings.
 
Overhead, the Raven was a stark contrast against the grayed skies. There was something peculiar about the Raven’s behavior in the last several weeks. Zsuzsa discovered the Raven watching her sleep. She would wake occasionally during the night and see the Raven’s beady gaze stare at her blankly, coldly. The Raven would also be much closer than it usually kept itself to her during the daytime hours. She often snapped at it in irritation when she discovered it doing this but didn’t know why the Raven was suddenly testing itself to be in much closer proximity to her than it usually was. The avian always carried some sort of dread with it, as if her prior pack sent the bird as a messenger to spy on her. The Raven descended from the skies, landing on a boulder not too far from where she sat.
 
Zsuzsa simply observed the Raven in silence, giving a sigh. Even on overcast days such as this, it was a reminder of a shadow that never disappeared from her.
