Nocturne Summit Paunngak

<3

The great chain of mountains called to her. The locals would know them well, surely. Like Sialuk knew her birthplace, unto which she laid claim. The rough, stony terrain and it's winding, steep paths felt familiar under her paws. Tundra, forests and even coastlines she was familiar with. The challenges and the ruggedness of a summit such as this, more so.

She persisted, taking on the climb with the tenacity that ran in her Archer blood. Her kind were not deterred easily, accepting many a challenge. She wanted to feel it. Experience it. To have the bitter wind blow through her raven fur. To be speckled with snow flurries. To see how her body would respond to the strain of this new, physical feat.

And the view. The view down below, would be worth it. She yearned to see the land from a new perspective, while uncovering the mysteries of what this new elevation may reveal to her.

Her sides rose and fell with breaths that were slightly more labored than usual. Her fur wind tossed, unkempt and wild from the winds fingers from her journey lower down the trail. Stillness and silence engulfed the air as she reached a flatter stretch of ground, layered in mostly undisturbed snow. Her paw tracks fell shy of another's as she paused to appreciate the beauty around her.
