Redtail Rise latin hy[m]n

He is first.

It is honor, it is bliss, it is his own sort of fever.

The fact of the matter was, he did not care who she laid with before or after him. But he had been first to arrive. He had been first to be granted her time in this state and he would take it.

Nobody would take that from him.

Not even the deep stare of Tulimaq, who Avicus stared back at.

He would be first to bless her with children as he took her. Whoever else possibly fathered them too did not matter. Only that the Rise would be given more bodies soon after now — and that they came from those who she deemed worthy.

First, what a bullheaded honor to take from laying with their leader of all.
