Let Something Shine

Just imagine it!
The more mountainous terrain of the falls was only mildly cooler than the lower, muggier mangrove forest, but the water splashing down into the pools was from a higher - and therefore cooler - altitude, so it was at least mildly refreshing.
That was where Satu was at the moment, paddling around in one of the bigger, slower moving pools, letting the waterfall pour more cooling water on her. The water sluiced down her ears, flattening the brown fur of her head and neck as she tread water there. The water was barely deep enough for her to need to do that, being one of the deeper pools in the shallow series.
The pools were surprisingly empty considering. Maybe the steep hike up here was just too much for anyone to want to make in this heat, but to Satu it was absolutely worth it. It was the closest thing she'd had to an actual adventure in quite a bit of time. Between the heat and the birth of several new litters in the pack, she hadn't left the pack lands for way too long. Well, hopefully the heatwave would break soon, and as the new mothers recovered from the births, and the litters go old enough to be left to go hunting and everything, she'd be able to get out again for a while. Right now though - and she sighed to think of it - she had to do her duty to the pack, and to her family.
