The Sunspire Like Stars at Night - Never Lonely

The air thinned as they began to get higher up, but her instincts did not tell her to flee the place and as she watched the darkness slowly descend in the sky and her companion's glow in the last vestiges of light she only felt her resolve harden into desire to reach the peak. Heph had climbed mountains before, to pass over them, but she tried to remember the last one she had climbed all the way to the top. She wondered what the sunrise would look like. She wondered what it would be like to all but tumble down - to hear Atka's laughter.

She turned her gaze over to Atka, she was not sure if the other wolf had ever been up a mountain before, if the thinning brisk (even in the summer) air would trouble her at all. Heph did not care to regulate the distance between them, easy in the other wolf's presence, comforting rather than discomfiting something steadier than night or day or even the stars which were only just beginning to shine through the dying light of the day. Her ears pushed forward, curious about what was next and there was a smile that refused to stop tugging at the corners of her features.
