Amberpaw spotted a shallow dip in the trees, leading to a sheltered clearing. A small gorge gouged the land like a claw, rocky overhangs providing shelter from the treacherous thunder storm. Amberpaw wriggled into a narrow gap, giving way to a modest cave. Shafts of light danced on the stone floor, revealing a tunnel on the far side of the cave.
Padding lightly, the tunnel gave way to a smaller cave with a steep entrance on the far side. She clambered up it, wincing as a sharp stone tugged at her pelt. Finally getting of the gap, she jabbed her hindleg out and heard a muffled CRACK as the jutting rock was crushed by her paw. She looked over where she was. She was 3-4 fox lengths away from the shallow gorge.
A crash of lightning shattered her thoughts. A boom of deafening thunder sounded near her. It had struck not 10 fox lengths from her, a flame now engulfing a large tree. She took off running through the forest until she burst out onto a moor. Gorse bushes dotted the landscape, a line of small plants collecting dew. A thunder path skirted them, scarcely a monster skipping across.
Night was falling, casting long shadows in the wide clearing where Amberpaw slept. She was nestled in an outcrop of a cliff, a Rocky overhang towering above her shelter. Amberpaw drifted into a dreamless sleep.
