Northstar Vale Essential yet appealed

Foward dated one day to 9/13

She was woken before the sun by the sounds of the earth shifting. It had not ceased since first hearing it, and feeling too anxious to fall back asleep, she quietly moved from wherever she had decided to sleep the night before and trotted from the borders of Diaspora to search yet again for her missing son, this time heading north and making her way through the mountains. 

She kept her pace quick and unforgiving through the rocky peaks, reveling in the way it forced her to focus only on her next step. The sun was just glinting over the peaks to uncomfortablely warm her fur when she reached the southern part of the valley, and she slowed some to allow herself to properly inspect the area for any signs of Ego. Like all her previous searches, she found nothing. 

Another rumble sounded in the distance, vibrating the ground beneath her feet just before the sound died away. She paused and looked around, ears flicking back a little as she grew nervous and agitated by the persistent sound. Then she began walking again, steps cautious as she continued her search.
