Redtail Rise Þief

pack hunt - this is mandatory.* get at least one post in; once everyone tagged has posted, posting will commence with no order and new rounds beginning every 48 hours. 

* for everyone except a pregnant @Sunday Morning. @Atreus & @Ancelin not expected to hunt but to watch and learn.

the dog star is high in the sky at night, the days still long and hot. Tulimaq has some time, still, to fulfill her orders—but that window is closing. 

soon, the leaves will fall, winter's chill at their doorstep, and they will need a new Ulfhedinn.

for now, Avicus serves in that role, as well as Wealda, as well as Mother—and she wears all three crowns proudly, standing atop a rocky outcrop on the Rise's flatlands. she is not much past two years, but for all her scars and the look of eagles, she looks and feels much older.

there's a small band of elk roaming here—she sees them below, unaware of her presence here. the game is slowly, slowly returning to the northlands. she tips her nose back and howls, urgency in her call, for her hunters—@Prophet, @Augur, @Aventus, @Ashlar—yes, even him, with all his dithering—as well as for her young.

@Masquerade, @Relic and @Redd have grown strong and steady, nearly three moons; it's time for them to join the hunt.

she awaits their arrival, and it best be in haste.

from the corner of her eye, the elk stir, and stiffen, but do not move much beyond their grazing spot.
