Redtail Rise little known facts of strife

np!  typhon surprised me in the last post. i loooove this development but i am gonna wait to see how this plays out before progressing the thread with @Prophet, as this might throw a wrench in things. if i need to edit that i can; i posted it too soon lol.

against his desire, he slowed to a halt. the remorse he had felt for his abrupt departure was incinerated inside the turning coal furnace in his chest.

typhon would not allow himself to be commanded. no longer would he take part in these soldier-games. he had done his time. he had inherited it through generations and watched it diminish the lives of those he loved. he would become dogma's stranger.

be that as it may, another part of him understood why the order had come his way. had he been in ratio's position, he might have done the same. but typhon did not appreciate the tone in which it had been delivered. he despised how his trauma was embodied, and seethed even more to see it wielded against him. it was an insult. the thought was written clear upon his face as he glowered over the jagged slope of his shoulder.

i have no quarrel with you, nor with anyone else. allow me to go about my business. he delivered flatly, unwilling to answer for some imagined transgression.
