Her exploration of the north was far from over. Nimble paws carried her down the side of the deep gorge rent within the mountainous earth. Wind-scoured walls pocked with caves led her downward. The way was treacherous, but an agile wolf could easily make the climb up and down even in the fierce winds, and pups trained on the steep slopes would have a dexterity far beyond that of other, weaker Alacritian puppies, would give would-be warriors a boost as they began their training. It would be a highly defensible location as well - no wolf unused to these slopes would be able to maneuver quickly along the paths, let alone fight with any hope of winning. Casting her eye out with caution so that she wouldn't be taken by surprise should someone have had a similar thought, she continued on her way down the slope to continue her exploration.

This thread is intended as an exploration of a new land and takes place in Gale Gorge.

Gale gorge, boy did he remember this place. He had been a very adventurous pup in his day, always running away from home. Multiple times he had to be escorted back to the old Glaciem lands. If only Yfir had claimed them, sparse pines were his birth lands. This place, it was easy to jump around and know where he was going. Though he stopped when he spotted Katja, the alphess. Was she exploring these lands? It wouldn't be a surprise, everyone had to get to know the area. Jumping to a closer ledge, enough to be into earshot. He let out a small bark if she hadn't already seen him. "Exploring milady?" he asked with a kind smile. His body acted natural among these ledges in the gorge. Despite his eye, he had learned to deal with it, and his pawpads were harsh enough to have a deep grip as well as his tail being in place to balance. Yet he would not get cocky, one wrong move and you could slip and fall to the bottom. It was only fun to explore if you got down safely. ?I speak?
