Phoenix Maplewood Joining pack.

Feel free to post a few more times before I jump back in! Reek wouldn't be able to appear immediatly.

After the successful raid on the Emberwood, life for Reek slowed down considerably. No longer did he have patients knocking on death's door, a pocket full of stress inducing obligation, or any worry that an outside threat loomed over their very existance. For the first time since living in Redtail Rise, Reek felt as if he were able to finally breathe easy. Most importantly, winter was only a hair's breadth away from it's transition into spring. Life had become increadbly simple once more.

But, with this incredible simplicty came boredom. Having lived a complicated life, these brief pauses of silence unsettled Reek in a strange way. It was as if a nagging voice tugged in the back of his head, whispering; what now? Surely, this peaceful bliss would only be temporary until the next period of tribluation came staggering into his life with the gracefullness of a drunken figure skater.

His thoughts however, were inturrupted by a summoning howl for the alpha pair, and Reek needn't dwell on this unsettling silence for long. He rose from his den and took his sweet time as he dillydallied his way to the border.
