Well. Today is the birthday of a certain someone, namely my wonderful friend ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have an absolutely amazing day, you really deserve it! Thank you for being such an amazing friend!!! I really wish there wasn't an ocean separating us, but I can't wait until we meet again, whether that's in just over a year (AHH!) or sooner (if I'm able to convince my parents xD)! Anyway, just thank you!
This isn't quite as well-worded as I planned, ironically, despite writing being my thing I'm not very good at putting things into words sometimes. xD But our friendship means a lot to me! I hope it shows in this gift.

If I'd thought seeing the plains from just outside the cavern's entrance was something, I decided I must have been terribly mistaken. That was nothing but a narrow strip, a glimpse of the wonder this view provided.

The flatlands stretched away in all directions from the mountains, a few hills rising and falling as a transition between the two extremes. Below my paws, silver birches spread out like a pond down the side of the mountain, transitioning to brown-barked trees closer to the bottom, where the stream splashed down into the larger river, which wound away across the fields. A strong wind blew directly into my face, carrying the scents of faraway places to my muzzle. Closing my eyes, I inhaled deeply, trying to decipher each little nuance in the air. It smelled cold, like there could be more snow on the way, but also a little like pine trees, like there was a forest somewhere in the distance, out of sight over the horizon.

So, anyway, this was inspired by the above scene from Snowy's fan fic Take Flight , which I am honoured to beta for! This is a scene from Chapter 23 in which Caspian (the cat on the right) takes Ravenpaw (the cat on the left) to see this amazing view. As soon as I read the scene, I wanted to draw it, it was written so beautifully! I may have taken some artistic liberties. I believe the sky was actually described as being grey and Ravenpaw should really have a splint on her tail and leg (I think) but I didn't really want to add them in as it probably wouldn't be particularly aesthetically pleasing. Actually re-reading the scene, I don't think Ravenpaw could actually see pine trees. Whoops. But anyway, I hope you can overlook that! xD
If you don't already read Take Flight, I highly suggest you do so!

I'm probably going to notice a bunch of things I didn't quite finish as soon as I post this, but honestly I could probably work on it forever and still find faults in it. So, I'm just going to go ahead and post this! I hope you like it!
