Shadow Mountain sulum

im so sorry i just have so much muse lol, this one is set at shadow mountain and can be an RO if yall dont want to do too many travel threads! <3 but if so, figured we could fade the other with my next reply

by midday, the sun had climbed high enough to affect all wildlife on their side of the mountain.

the mist of greenery along a tiny plateau caught his eye. the ranger went toward it, pausing long enough for @Wren and @Akavir to notice his detour before he set off into the cooler shadows.

here there was a pool of water fed by fierce rivers flowing from even higher above them. he drank downriver and alone, devoting all his mind to the following hours.

until evening he would not hunt, conserving his strength for a nightwalk or an early rise. meat and rest and back to the march.

germanicus predicted it would be afternoon on the second day before the traveling party reached the treacherous stone bridge which separated shadow mountain from the lower slopes of the spotted eagle apex.

peak where eagles soar.

his heart broke on those windswept slopes.

upon a cliff above the plateau, germanicus meant to keep sitting vigil through the toil of afternoon to dusk, a faint wetness to his watchful stare as the light shifted over his features.
