Redtail Rise the final braincell

she, too, is restless.

sleep plagued by fitful dreams and lurking shadows within, Avicus rises from her hollow and pads toward the figure near the edge of the rendezvous. she parks herself alongside her Ulfhedinn, and the two sit quietly for a brief moment or two, their breath fogging in the midnight air.

our number low, she murmurs, eyes lifting, too, toward the stars. how many they were! if only Redtail Rise could be so fortunate. and Nyra near. our ally came o'hher dhay, 'hholdh me big whihh' woman hadh made borderhh, hhreah'hen her chil'ren.

she shakes her head, slowly, finding the moon in the clear sky. the light of it turns her eyes a stark bright blue, the twin hearts of the fire that she was.

then she turns to Tulimaq. we needh' more, she says baldly. more warriorhh. . .an' chil'ren to 'dhrain.

"there was a man that wanted to fuck you."

a question glimmers in her gaze.
