Redhawk Caldera two years past

Eljay glanced over his shoulder one more time at Gannet and let out a sad sigh after he had gone. He felt the urge to cry play up but when he just kept trotting, Eljay knew that he could keep it at bay. Just keep moving, just keep going, just walk, walk, walk, focus on nothing else... He managed to keep the emotions at bay, keep them brimming at the surface but kept them from spilling over so long as he kept in motion.

And so he left the Caldera, for a while, for good perhaps — he didn't know the answers to any of those questions, really.
