Phoenix Maplewood The King of Carrot Flowers

While the maplewood was more than any of the Ex-Redtails could have asked for, there were aspects of the Rise that Reek pined for. First and foremost, Reek missed the view. The maplewood may have been beautiful and full of life, but there was something about viewing the world from a mountain top. A view like that could make a man feel small, but in a good way; a humbling experience. Secondly, and more selfish than the first, Reek missed the waterfall that he had claimed for the last few weeks in the Rise... the sheer novelty of his brief hideaway had been unmatched, and Reek was hard pressed to find a place as perfect to set up his permanent home.

In fact, Reek had yet to dig a den for himself and Saena. Instead he slept under the cover of maple trees for the time being— but if their claim was to remain permanent, sleeping under the stars every night would not do (no matter how romantic it was). Reek followed a stream that swept though the maplewood in the hopes of finding a place reminiscent of his previous beach front property.

Upon reaching a rocky and moss covered alcove offset by the stream, Reek knew he had found home. Nodding to only himself, he grinned like an idiot and set out to widen the natural opening with his excited digging.
