Phoenix Maplewood Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls

Well, Reek did stir up a bees nest— both figuratively and literally :P

The reaction Smash had to the name Reek proposed made him grin from ear to ear. It was a name worthy of notoriety and fame; he was sure his future son would have all of these things, name or not. Reek would give them everything he could offer and more, of that he was sure.

The topic of Redtail Rise was sure to come up in conversation eventually, Reek had expected it. "There was a storm," he explained. "Worst one I've ever seen. When lightning struck, it set the western forest alight like the Fourth of July... We were all lucky to get out alive." Apart from possibly Oliver, the fire had claimed no lives— and Reek cared little for the naive boy who may or may not have perished in the blaze. "We packed up and settled here a few weeks later... No harm done except for a few singed sides." He giddily stuck his tongue out at Smash, detracting from the fact that he and his pack had effectively cheated death.
