.they headed off, SIREN hanging toward the back with her arms huddling around her body. it wasn't that she was cold, but the nervousness of the situation was settling in her. after all, she'd be killed if she was found. the kilanthro mountains were sprawled out before them, marring the horizon as they towered above even the highest buildings. dwarfing them with stunning ease. there were no paths leading there, and the sun was beginning to give way into a beautiful tangerine slumber along the skyline. sinking ever so gently out of sight, leaving the shadows to dance about and play tricks on people. the stars overhead offered their own promise.
