Nova Peak Black Dragon

Despite giving the pups space, Mulherin insisted on involving them by running laps around Masquerade. They laughed, the sound cutting off when Sunset nearly ran directly into them. The Caru braced for impact, though the girl deftly dodged and the chase continued.

Next, they used a tree as an obstacle, which suited the Caru a bit better. They trailed after the two, observing as Sunset submitted to Mulherin. Then she flipped the script—and their mismatched bodies—and put on a dominant display. The boy went with the flow, the two of them clearly enjoying themselves.

Masquerade let them play a little longer. Perhaps they would establish a true pecking order between the two of them, though these things were always in flux, particularly at that age. Perhaps Mulherin would be dominant today and Sunset would be his superior tomorrow. And then, one day, maybe they would find themselves equals…

The Caru shook their head and eventually called out, Okay, you two, how about we use what’s left of your energy to do some tracking? I want to see more of your ninja skills, Sunset. And, Mul, I remembered: it’s called Nova Peak!

With a wolfish grin, Masque pivoted on a heel and loped away, the upward hook of their tail meant to invite the children along in their wake.

Since I know @Moon Runner’s headed out of game, I figured I’d jump back in here and help fade this? :)
