Otatso Wetlands birdman's path

For @Summer! should we keep it AW too for others to find them? :P

The initial descent down the back end of the Sunspire was speedy and graceful, as Cuan struggled to keep up with the steep slope that slanted to the twisted, rugged lands that lay, wooded, behind the mountain. His tail spun out behind him, like rudder that swerved and circled in the air to give the lanky male the proper balance. They had set off from the pack realm before the sun had come up, and in the late fall pre-dawn glow everything had a dark, slightly haunted blue aura to it. Skirting the forest, the pair had found themselves past the raised earth of Rising Sun and it's forest glens and onto the still marsh.

Roots and dead leaves gave way to the start of the wetlands, where tall, reedy grasses sprung up from the many small ponds and waterways. A fog hung about the chilly waters, brought up by the cold temperatures of the morning. Everything was beginning to take on a rose-pink glow as the sun stretched herself on the horizon, illuminating cat-tails and pale tufts of sedge. From his vantage on the dry earth of the riparian forest, Cuan could see pieces of blanched driftwood askew in parts of the sprawling marsh, and several provided sleeping spaces for rooks of crows.
