Rising Sun Valley Frostflame Ridge

Cthulu seemed amenable to this plan, so Junior said a lofty, "Let's go," and began to trot toward the crags. She walked with her head and tail high, remaining true to character. Although she said nothing aloud, Junior mulled over this role in her head. She would have to flesh out this Dagger's character and perhaps use the name as an alias during her travels. The idea of embellishing on this fake identity put some spring in her step, which was just as well, since she was supposed to be a high-stepping blue blood.

She froze with one black paw in the air, trying to bring the mental images into focus, staring vaguely into the distance with an unhappy expression on her face.
