Raisa took a deep breath, taking stock of the air around her. It was fresh and sharp, pungent with moss and granite and herbs. The sky blazed above them, cerulean and vibrant and obscured by nothing but the occasional large granite boulders. Between these monoliths sat patches of soft moss and grassy clearings, game trails worn in by herd creatures and rabbits, and other smaller rocks. The earth here seemed verdant with life and promise. Raisa smiled and looked over her shoulder. Koros and Fugue were near at hand, and the day seemed too perfect to pass up. "I think we're ready," she said with little ado. "Today's the day."

It would spread over the landscape like wildfire, and beckon forth her allies, companions, and all those seeking sanctuary. This place sang to her, cried out to be claimed, and she felt it's longing in her soul. Certainly, the scent of other rogues tinged the land with their unique presence, but this may not be a bad thing. Perhaps they too had grown to love this land, and would join them. If not, numbers would certainly lie in her favor. Content, and feeling better than she had in moons, Raisa leapt atop the nearest behemoth stone and waited, scanning the horizon for the first traces of her new life. Today it would all begin.
