A Long Day

Lightly laughing at Nishu's question about rituals Rain comforts, " No, you don't have to worry about that." He jumps up next to her then, using the rock to climb as she had. "Well," she starts when he inquires about the place they are going. "It is where I met my first friend, Mara. It is also a very calm and beautiful scene." Looking thoughtful, she continues across the top of the ledge. "You will know what I mean when you see it." Having reached the other side, the view in front of them now is a nice sight. Looking over the unnamed valley, it is covered in fog and shadowed by the mountain. Beyond the rocky cliffs on the other side of the valley she can glimpse the form of Silvertip Mountain.

Searching around the rocks, Rain tries to pick out the small path that will lead them safely down to the bottom. "Upper Arrow Lake is surround on all sides by the mountain such as this valley. There is a twin of this valley with no name too, that lies to the left of this one.." Tail wagging, she finds the path and slowly moves downward. Bits of rock and dirt scatter from beneath her pads, tumbling over ledges and boulders. She glances wearily at the distance between them and the ground. "The Sunspire, if you think about it, is like a tree with roots spreading along the land." Sliding a little, Rain stops to steady her footing. "The Sunspire is nothing but dangerous cliffs and drops. It differs from my homeland for there were trees and not very many cliffs on the mountain. The dangers we had to worry about were cougars."

Crunching beneath her paws and water clinging to her silver fur greets her at the bottom. Snow layers the unknown valley. When the sun is higher in the sky this place will sparkle. She plans for Nishu to see it on their way back from the lake. The Sunspire is a glorious home, she is proud of its beauty. She sits while waiting for the dark grey male to reach her, gazing over the snow with a soft smile. There were no prints, the surface smooth as a cloudless sky. "Many do not come here and possibly no one visits its twin," Rain calls up, not removing her eyes from the hidden beauty.
