Great days

The sun was setting, casting the land in an orange hue, as if the world was burning. The surrounding slopes looked as though they were coated in lava, spilling over the ridges and the edging close to his paws. Askan would never admit it aloud but he'd always liked this time of day, that even when the sun was retreating behind the horizon it still had the strength to be so bright and intense. A firm reminder than no matter how long the night, it would always return.
He should've continued on, he had things to do and places to be, but no matter how much he fought it he couldn't resist the urge to just take a look. With a little shake of his head he trotted over to the nearest slope and began clambering his way to the top. It wasn't overly tall or steep but he had no doubt that it would still provide him with a beautiful view of the setting sun. His legs ached as he climbed higher and higher till he reached the peak. Then with a long exhale he settled on his rump, his tail curling around his side as he set his gaze skyward. It was kinda nice, peaceful out here. Sort of what home used to be like for him, before he'd gone and messed it all up.
