There was plenty that she loved about the mountain, and really she wanted to come back just to stand atop its heights and breathe that crisp air. But this, oh man, she definitely had to come back for this. The gorge's waters were frozen by winter, some of turns and rapids trapped mid-roil. It would surely be a sight to see once they had thawed out, especially with the spring run off contributing to their depth and force. Even now, without the water feature alive, the terrain itself was thrilling for the girl that always loved a challenge.
Her nimble paws danced across the icy slopes and dodged the drops, dancing along one side of the gorge and then leaping to the other only when the sheer faces refused to allow hre to continue. It was a perfect test for her grace and agility, her muscles tensing with the workout. The burn felt wonderful, her lungs puffing out great big clouds of air as her yellow eyes shone with focus. She couldn't help but wonder how well @Kyna would do at playing this game with her.
It was the only time thus far she had allowed her attention to wander from her main goal, but lucky Ember was heading toward her goal all the same, the gorge a perfect path between her side of the mountain and the foreign western reaches that she sought.
