Blackbeak Bluff 'YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE WORTH LOVING.

the temperature had slowly begun to drop as the sun dipped across the sky towards the horizon, lending a chill to the air. 

elspeth's path came to a weary halt at the apex of the precipice, singular speckled aud lifting to catch the raucous chorus of seabirds. 

the goldfinch lowered carefully to the ground, shivering against the bite of the snow as it sank into the fine hair of her underbelly. from here, she could peek over the edge of the rocky bluff to watch as the gulls and terns flitted about in flashes of white and grey. there'd been such birds on the isle of course, but ellie had never seen so many in one place before.

the sight brought a grin of wonder to her face, scars tugging against the motion. her bottlebrush tail beat against the ground. lowering her chin to the ledge of stone, elspeth settled in.

the search for shelter could wait a moment. she wouldn't find anywhere to sleep along these windswept peaks anyhow and would have to continue on in the dark. 

but such a view deserved to be appreciated, especially as the sun sank lower and streaked the sky with oranges and pinks between the clouds, the colors mirrored upon the waters. it took her breath away. 

a crisp, metallic scent caught her attention and the she-dog looked up to find fresh flakes falling from the sky. 

so cold but so breath takingly beautiful.
