Romance is in the air...this is probably the most beautiful and scenic place in Blossom Forest. For the athletic and determined to come with their mates, for time away from pups. Only adults may come here; some of the ledges are too far apart for teens or pups to cross and some too high to scale.

From Broken Dreams _______________________________ You know, there are some places on this earth that seem to bask in a mucky, gloomy bog, while others seem to always want to bathe the globe in their beauty, although usually, I can’t see that beauty. There is a shade over my eyes, one that blocks me from seeing any sort of beauty at all. I was all just a blur, and I never stopped to smell the roses. Today, though, this girl that stands in front of me, questioning my hatred of the rain, has lifted a single layer of the shade over my eyes. I can see how someone might think this cliff is… “beautiful”, but I don’t quite believe it my self. I also see how someone might enjoy the rain, but I still don’t like it. Maybe I’m not bothered by it as much, but you still won’t ever catch me playing around in it. Then… Oohhhh then. Kenina begins to directing me to do all these different things. not worrying. What kind of person doesn’t worry about SOMETHING? I hate people who think that there aren’t any problems in the world, and right now, this lass looks like one of them. Heh, then she says she’ll shut up because she rambles. Good. I can’t stand vargs who like to blabber while I stand there, trying to get a little “shut up” in there. At least she knows how to be quiet. Geez. I’m almost drenched now, and involuntarily, I shake off the water, and almost directly after, Kenina does the same, and I jump back a little, avoiding the water that I just shook off. Of course, I can’t really avoid the rain part of it all, but, uh… yeah. She’s answering my next question about her happiness, and I can’t help but frown as she answers with a simple “why not?” and letting me know that life’s too short. I should damn well let her know that with life as bad as it is for me, you get glad that it’s so flipping short, so you don’t have to suffer anymore! I keep this outrage inside, but it’s clear on my face, with a mix of anger and sadness, that she should not have said that. But I soon cool my grill, and off she goes again, asking my name. Deciding that I should give it to her, I can only hope that Kenina doesn’t have a clue as to what it means. ”Well, for starters, I’m Incondite. Don’t ask for a meaning, just go with it. And, uh… don’t call me “soldier”. Do I look like a big macho man? Hell, you look more masculine than I do!” I almost burst right there, again, but I stop myself one more time. Wow, this is the best I’ve been controlled in… well, forever! Usually I would have fled long past by now, but I seem to enjoy this one’s company, no matter how disgustingly joyful her life may be. Kenina moves down to look over the face of the cliff, and I can almost see her eyes bulge out the back of her head. She lays down, and I can only hope she doesn’t notice that I’ve moved up to her left and peered down myself. I also hear her mumble something, but I decide not to respond. Besides, I would just scare her more if I threw a witty comment or something at her! She shuffles backwards then, and I can’t see if she has noticed me, or if she just wants to get away from the ledge. Then she jumps into a teeny weeny puddle, and I see her intentions immediately. Smiling for the first time in ages, I chuckle and shake my head as her back is turned and she’s running into another puddle. I spot a larger one nearby, and I see that Kenina’s happiness has rubbed off on me for a little bit. I might remember this encounter one day. I try to resist the urge to jump into the cold, dirty, murky water, but Kenina’s joy seems to overrule my own brokenness, and I take a flying leap into the puddle, landing with a splash larger than Kenina’s most recent jump. I come to enjoy the feeling of the smile, if only a little bit, and turn to show it to her. I had barely even heard her earlier comment about my eyes the color of an algae-filled lake. I look at her, amazed, and slowly pull myself out of the puddle, before I realize the rain has stopped, and now a rainbow begins to solidify on the horizon. Then I see why it’s called Rainbow Cliff. The spectrum of colors seems to begin – or end – right on the cliff, and to be specific, right where I’m standing. Bathed in the colors, I remember an old tale my mother used to tell me, and I turn back to Kenina jokingly. Man, I don’t know what’s with this girl, but she definitely turned my frown upside down today. ”Where’s my pot of gold, eh?” I laugh then, and it’s hearty, not nervous, like I want to get out. I’m enjoying this feeling, but I know it won’t last. After I move away from the aura of this valkyrie, I will remember everything, and I’ll be back to my old sullen self.
