Spring in the north was another beast entirely. As she'd come up from the western lands she was somewhat surprised to find the winter losing it's battle against spring. Of course the past season had been mild and spring so far had taken the land with gusto, but somehow it was strange to see the snowpack waning so soon. The gully they picked their way through was fairly torn up. Large chunks of rocks lay littered around the wash, one's Peregrine could hardly believe had been moved by anything but the gods themselves. Tsiry swore she had seen the gleam of gold shining out from one singular stone, but as of yet their search for more had turned up no results.
All around them life was crawling up through the cracks and crevasses. Young cedar trees and low scrub bushes battled for what little soil sat hidden beneath the crumbling stone, and she looked up to see Tsiry resting in the shade of one. She was about to call out, ridicule her for her laziness or something of the sort, when the sound of cracking rocks sounded out from higher up on the slope. Peregrine flattened herself to the ground and watched in mild horor as a rock the size of a coyote went sailing overhead before shattered another twenty yards below her. Her gaze whipped back to Tsiry and she laughed at the way her mouth hung open, and a little bit at the fact that she'd almost just been beheaded. Before long the storm of mirth had taken her by the gut, and she had to sit down lest she topple over anyways.

Navigation - Marble Wash
Simply the act of moving was doing wonders for Karabela's mental state. It had been far to long since she'd gone off on a tour of the lands around her and this day she opted to go north, far north. Spring here was still cool but it was amazing how quickly spring was breaking in to the frozen landscape. Raba flexed her toes, feeling the mud squish delightfully between them as she trotted down into the valley. As she moved she caught the sound of a crash and laughter chiming through the valley and immediately started heading toward it. My, my someone was having a good time. Leaping down into a dried up riverbed she eyed the strange smoothness of the stone here, the strange patterns. It almost stopped her in her tracks but Karabela wanted to know who was down here to. Working her way through the twisting path of marble she caught sight of a woman with…. two strange things on her. Spying the shattered boulder she raised a brow at the woman. "Changing the landscape are you? Sounds like you're having a blast."
