Misty Mountain Top

Dawn’s first light spills over jagged peaks shrouded in swirling mist, painting the slopes in silver and gold. The air there is thin and cool, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant pine. though unseen by Sarah and the Doctor, this high crest marks the boundary between the oppressive jungle below and the open sky, the thin line where night’s last shadows dissolve. It is a place of fragile promise, where the promise of daybreak offers its only shelter against the stalking creature and the distant approach of armed pursuit.
