Redhawk Caldera Tell your story

Eljay? Pups? Anyone? :)

Nightjar left a gaping, aching hole in his father's heart when he left, not to mention a couple of broken dreams. Peregrine had still hoped to one day groom the eldest Firebird into his heir. There were no hard feelings, though. He would be lying if he said he didn't hope his son made his way back to the caldera someday, where Peregrine felt he belonged. In the meantime, Peregrine hoped his son would get the experiences he craved out there in the world, as well as all the tail a young man could ever want.

That thought made his lips twitch into a sad smile, which faded as he sighed and flopped to the ground just outside the den, his four younger sons romping around him. Nightjar had seemed so excited about being an older brother, yet the reality hadn't lived up to his expectations. The little boys would not be without a brother figure in Eljay, though, and Peregrine found himself glancing around, expecting to see his nephew. He always seemed to be nearby these days, which pleased the Alpha male.
