Rising Sun Valley Crosshair

Frostflame Ridge.

Capricorn was much too distracted the last time he was here to puzzle out the mystery of the warm ground. It stayed with him, though, that question in the back of his mind. On every patrol he made around Duskfire Glacier, he paused and looked out at the mountain. A few times, he convinced himself the stone was merely sun warmed and retained the heat well, but the last time he was there, the path was shrouded in shadow. Much as he wanted to believe it was natural, Capricorn was beginning to doubt.

So now, with the sun beginning to bleed red into the sky and heralding evening, Capricorn gave out a low howl to inform his pack mates (Tuwawi in particular) that he would be next door for several hours. Without waiting for a response, the squat-legged valhund cross waddled away from his home and made his way toward the place he'd met Cuan, where the ground was warm to the touch. Once he found it again, he intended to go down and try one last time to discover its secret.
