Falls of the Hinterlands and if i took on the planet

The dark Ostrega gave her time to make her way over, then, once she was near enough, he turned on in earnest. It's in the mountains, he supplied with a smirk, naturally not one to look at that terrain as deterrent. South of the barriers though.. it comes across south of that big lake on the other side, he went on with for details, maybe a little surprised that she didn't know, but supposed not everyone combed the mountains like his family did--so maybe the best trail through wasn't always so commonplace. So heading north is the more straightforward route, sure, but I haven't circled down that way in a while. May as well, while I'm about.. Which made now a good time to change that while he was out and his efforts to visit a friend were thwarted. He rolled his dark shoulders, and kept heading onward.
