Redhawk Caldera Carpe diem

Elwood came across Wildfire's scent on his way back to the den, returning from a few hours of hunting. Now that Eljay was two months old, he and Finley were able to spend a little longer away from him, although there was still always someone there to watch him. The new father never felt as though his son had taken away any of his freedom, but it was nice to dedicate more time to his primary trade; up until recently, his main hunting goals had been small prey to feed his family.

He lowered his nose to the ground and inhaled, identifying that Wildfire had passed by this location only a short time ago. The Beta began to track her, which didn't prove to be difficult; before long, her fiery red pelt came into view. She seemed to be meandering at a slow pace, with no particular destination in mind, although she was moving in the general direction of the Blackthorn den. Rather than call out and get her attention, Elwood dropped to the ground and began to slink after her, doing his best to remain undetected for the time being. It seemed that he was still in hunting mode as he stalked his target.
