Darkflame followed his gaze to a welcome cluster of trees. She couldn't help but let out a small sigh of relief- she didn't have a good feeling about these mountains and, in any case, her wings were beginning to burn from exertion and her lungs starting to ache.
"That sounds great, D!" she exclaimed, and began to descend.
Coming in to land was a delicate process, and especially so when she was already so tired and would have much preferred to just drop to the earth. Darkflame carefully navigated amongst the sparse foliage, limbs now extended to fend off rogue branches where necessary and tail shifting to and fro to compensate for subtle changes in weight distribution and the angle of descent.
She landed finally and stumbled, forelegs almost crumpling, legs suddenly weak. Her wings draped to either side of her furry form, flight muscles aching from the long flight. The Dark Creation was content to stand thus for a few moments, eyes partially closed, savouring the welcome feeling of the hard earth beneath her paws as she waited for her breathing to return to normal. Then D landed and she turned, casting him a small smile.
"We're here, then! I can keep first watch if you like."
Whatever D's response, Darkflame doubted that she would be sleeping much that night. Not in this strange land, not with those whistling mountains so close by...regardless of how tired she happened to be, regardless of the fact that her eyelids were heavy and her thoughts slow.

ooc: Do we timeskip to morning, or...what do we do now? xD
Or does something happen? Somebody turns up or something?
I'm all for either option, and exciting unexpected things happening is always good. =)
