Redtail Rise little known facts of strife

Avicus heat was over and Ratio felt infinitely better. Until next year, he supposed, when it would begin again. He was lucky in that Avicus was the only woman within their ranks. Although, for the Rise itself, that was perhaps not so lucky. Next year, regardless, he should find something to distract himself with. His mind flickered briefly to Ashlar and he let it settle on him for a moment. It was not the distraction he would have imagined.

He still felt the warmth of chocolate fur against his own. He was fond. He wasn't a complete fool. He still could not fathom how little the man thought of himself. Ratio felt the urge to seek him out daily, if only to tell him what he thought of him - just a little at a time.

He didn't. 

And here as he walked along the center of his territory, he was considering leaving.


He wanted to swell their ranks. Prophet had found him wandering and Ratio did not know where he would be if he had not encountered his Berserkr. Was it allowed that he go and seek recruits? Perhaps he was better served at the borders. It was certainly more in line with his nature. If he was needed beyond to find others, however, he would go. If there were to be pups, they could use the protection. 

His mind flickered again to Ashlar and this time he pushed the image away.
