Shouldn't the Emberwood prefex be under the Snowforest Taiga instead of the RSV? I just noticed that. Shadow posted Ryker, Edited.
The core trio of Redtail Rise made it out of the inferno more or less unscathed (barring any emotional trauma), and for that Reek was thankful. However, seeing their home reduced to an ashen hill made it relatively difficult to focus on the positives, even though the survivors were quite lucky in the fact that they had made it out alive. The others, on the other-hand— their fate was still a mystery. But rather than dwell on the ifs or whos, Reek occupied his time with something else.
While the trio of survivors regrouped in the Emberwood, Reek had taken up the bad habit of sleeping the day away. First it was difficult, but after the initial shock wore off sleep was as easy as ever, especially with Saena by his side. Thankfully, Reek wasn't the type to be plagued by nightmares, and even in the face of tragedy his dreams tended to be pleasant— but most of all, an escape. But, his most recent foray into escapism was cut short by Saena's howl causing him to stir slowly and eventually he found his feet. Shifting his tired gaze to @Arion, Reek beckoned for him to follow to meet back up with his lover.
There, they waited. Hopefully the other subordinates had made it out in time, but for a while there was silence. For every passing second, the knot in Reek's stomach tightened. A response eventually came, but it certainly wasn't the one Reek was expecting in the slightest... Nochtli, and that OCD healer who made a fuss over the fern. Reek shot the two amazons a weak smile; any familiar face was welcome at this point.
"Nochtli..." whispered Reek in greeting before shifting his gaze to her companion who's name he never learned. "Fern lady." He turned back to Noch to address her question. "We don't know the full extent of the damage yet... but, I'm sure we could use all the help we can get."
Out of the blue, their newest member, Ryker, burst onto the scene, coughing from the residual effects of the smoke. Reek breathed a sigh of relief... at least one had made it out alive. "So far this is it Ryk... We just need to wait and see." The six of them would have no problem staking a claim elsewhere, but the other missing subordinates weighed heavy on Reek's mind.
