Blacktail Deer Plateau beware the storm that gathers here

Even the beginnings of another headache beginning behind her temples could not dissuade the excitement steadily building in her chest. She bade goodbye to her father as he left them behind, watching his somewhat faltering disappearance into the trees only a moment before shooting a grin towards Easy, tail wagging at her hocks as she stepped beyond the borders, with only, "let's go, then," and a glance at each of her companions. 

Still, this journey would be different; she knew not how long they'd be gone, nor just what they may encounter. What worried the girl more, however, was what just might occur at home in their absence. She'd never thought of herself as a worrier, and yet it seemed she was beginning to become one. Shaking the thought from her mind, she felt a sense of heavy duty alongside the excitement, now. With one more glance at the tarnished territory that lay behind them, they began to head towards the mountains.
