Dragoncrest Cliffs Security!

Astera had been sleeping next to the pups, after a long and exhausting meadow exploration trek. She had made it her sole purpose to learn as much she could about Sapphique and the surrounding territories. Her paws twitched while resting, dreaming of open meadows, and crashing waves. 

The disturbance came. Thousands of winged creatures, crawling, and leaping about. Astera woke with a disgruntled sneeze as a cicada crawled on her nose. She batted it of with her paw, sending it flying. What are these?! She shouted to @Val, before frantically trying to lick the pups to calm them.
