Redtail Rise burn like a fire inside

I'll go ahead and have this archived then. :-)

The older male moved closer, breaching the silence with an introduction: Reek. He was not the Alpha, though he was temporarily in charge. The instructions were simple enough: until the return of Redtail Rise's true alpha he was the one whose word he was to obey. “Understood,” Mercury mimicked with a stern nod, dipping his muzzle low, ears splaying to either side of his head before they twitched forth once more at the 'welcome home'. What a strange thing, Mercury thought, though it was not entirely unpleasant. He had had many homes in his short life, and he hoped that perhaps settling with these Rise wolves would produce what he was searching for. Not that he had much idea of what he was looking for, only knowing that he would finally cease to feel restless once he did find it.

“I'll see you in a few hours then,” Mercury concluded watching as Reek dissapeared to finish whatever Mercury had called him from. With a last look at his temporary leader's retreating form, Mercury turned his attention to the vast stretch of land that the Rise wolves occupied and began heading forth, into the heart of the forest to go about seeing to Reek's orders.
