Porcupine Ridge skylines and turnstiles

shadow-step brought muskrat and @Makono to the stream-wreathed place hex had called a rendezvous.

muskrat found his strong trail and traced it smoothly, pausing to admire the curve of dark forest before she dropped down the rougher face of the ridge.

high above them, a round-headed mountain loomed, casting its darkness down over the path.

and in it, the shadowknife roamed his shadowland; she saw him traveling there, below she and the eagle, and descended to meet him there.

"hex." her eyes glinted once more in the serpent's-wealth of beaming yellow. "i call her sacsayhuamán. royal eagle. she say she stay."

eyes turning now toward the warrior glimmering like pearls in a black ocean.
