Raven's Watch crooked crows

This was the furthest she had gone.

No sign of Kigipigak.

No fur, no tracks, not even blood smattered into stone. Although she worried that with these summer storms perhaps it had all been washed away already. If anything had even been left in his wake.

The sky felt the need to strike that thought right to her core. A rumble of thunder followed by a smack of lightning somewhere in the distance. The birds scattered for the trees with their own harrowing calls. She was ready to turn back herself. The plateau needed her.

Although there was a pale figure on the watch. She might have placed them for her missing friend had they not been smaller, lankier than Kigipigak.

Instinct told her to leave him behind, she did not know him. Yet her heart had blossomed with such generosity lately as the plateau bloomed with life. There was some hesitancy in her voice, but she called out to him nonetheless.

Are you okay?!

Strained to be heard over the thunder and bird calls.
