Phoenix Maplewood Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls

The actual experiance of losing Redtail Rise as it went up in smoke -- the fear and the eventual sorrow that followed -- were all things that Reek tried not to think about in the present day. Time had it's way in healing wounds, and while the scars remained ever present in Reek's fragile psyche, the alpha male was thankful he had come out of the blaze along with Saena and had been able to pick up the pieces of their broken lives. "It has," he replied. In a way, things had even turned out better than before. With pups on the way and thoughts of the family he would soon welcome into the world, Reek was the happiest he had ever been. "I wouldn't trade the life I have now for the world."

Life, however, was a cruel mistress who had a penchant for bitter irony. 

"Come on!" He said, turning tail with a smile. "Lemme show you the new digs!" Few wolves would ever get a grand tour of the Maplewood from Reek Redtail himself, especially an outsider, but Smash was family. Taking off into the wood with Smash hot on his heels, they would spend the rest of the day romping and playing around, just as they way back when.
