Falls of the Hinterlands i shall now expose my chest

Stingray agreed wholeheartedly. While travelling, he had seen many things that took his breath away, from skies so clear he could see the cosmos in them to lakes with glassy smooth surfaces, but this was wholly unique. There was nothing in the world that was anything like the moonbow.

I wonder if this happens every night, he said, tilting his muzzle back toward Shirin only to discover her gone. Perplexed, Stingray cast about in the shadows for any sign of a wolf-like figure, but she seemed to have slipped silently away. With a slight frown, he turned to Nyssa. Do you know who that was?

Part of him wondered if there had ever been a second woman there or if it was a figment of his imagination, or the magic of the moonbow playing tricks on him.

Nyssa denied knowing the other woman and Stingray shrugged, turning back to the spectacle for a little while before proposing they return to Sun Mote Copse. He made loose plans to visit the moonbow with Nyssa again, the sort of flippant plans he couldn't be certain he would follow through on, and by the time he returned to the Taigh, he was so tired he fell asleep right where he dropped.
