Dragoncrest Cliffs Seal of approval

she was close to the seal when he noticed her - almost as close as the last time. she recognized him by the old battle scars and roundness of his pelt; there were few other bulls like him that braved the mainland.

sobeille was utterly unprepared for the deafening roar that clapped from the bull's mouth. it was so loud, so violating, so powerful that she jumped straight up, nearly losing her balance in the process.

she landed in a sudden heap, sand flying as she darted away. a ridge appeared down her spine from flared hackles -- but realizing the thing did not chase, sobeille circled back.

this time she did not get so close -- but she watched him with measured intensity.
