ooc; Heron for Fernpaw!
ic;
Heronsong was scrabbling for purchase among the rocks of his home, muscles of his legs burning with each arduous pull up the mountain. The sun was hung low in the sky and the stone beneath his paws had been wash in the light. Talonclan was home to the best spot in the world to see the setting sun; the lookout. Long ago, Twolegs hung around, but their scent was washed away many moons ago, before Heronsong was born. No Twoleg had made the hike in ages and it was a wonder the warriors of Talonclan tried to makes the nearly vertical climb at all. but, the black warrior was making the climb to see the shortly setting sun. It was a beauty to behold, especially from the point of view that Starclan had blessed his clan with.
The air was thinning the higher the tom got. Though the night had yet to set in, the temperature was beginning to drop. Heronsong's long, thick coat was hard to penetrate and he was grateful for that as he pulled himself over the last edge onto flat, cold stone. The air burned his lungs as he took in steady, controlled breaths after the exercise. Once his breathing was back under a suitable control, the quiet tom carefully padded to the edge, barely feeling the cooling stone under his thick paw pads. The sun was about to set.
He groomed himself as he waited for the sunset. His long fur was hard to keep under control without help though, and his quick grooming could only do so much to sort out the knots and kinks caused by the wind the often buffeted the mountains. It was in these times that Heronsong wished he had been more talkative as an apprentice and made friends; friends he could share tongues with and watch the setting sun with.
