Redtail Rise Starting right now, I'll be strong

I'm never gonna catch up on threads... Figured I'd jump into this too! :P

In the days following Smash's departure, Reek was a bit shook up.  Perhaps shell-shocked was a better way to phrase it. The bomb that she had dropped rained down like mortar-fire and had caused Reek to retreat back into the trenches of his mind.  He had become quiet, sullen.  Numb.  A far-cry from his usual, obnoxious self.  While Smash had only been the straw to break the camels back, the real problem lied with Wyn.  Her scent had gone stale and what had remained had simply been washed away by the rain.  She was gone and trail had gone cold.

The rise had become all too quiet, and Reek too found himself spending less time within it's borders.  Instead, he traveled the north (though, never traveling too far) in search of his missing mate.  By no means were his travels happy like before.  Although he wandered with purpose, he longed for the lackadaisical days where there was nothing to do but see the world, or even just the simplicity of afternoon nap time with his wife... it had been so long.

He had left his den and found himself on the fringe of the Dawnlark Plains when he heard Saena's howl calling for him.  Another search could wait, and so he ascended the ridge and toward the source of the call.  Upon arrival he noticed that Arion was already there accompanying Saena.  But the howl had been for him?  Maybe he was already there.  But obviously, he was as high as a kite.  Intervention?  

Reek remained silent.
