Redtail Rise The story of your little success

The longer the call went with no answer, the lower Ashlar's heart sank. There was no reason for them to not come. Why didn't they come?

This was his fault as well. He'd said he would bring them to him and now he had broken his word. If they'd known him, maybe they would answer. He should have said more. He should have done more. Now he was stuck standing here with a broken promise and nothing to offer. He didn't even know where they would be to go find them.

He couldn't make them come. He didn't know why they would not.

The panic caught in his throat as Suzu echoed his own thoughts with her small voice. He looked at the ground, eyes and ears burning, willing them to come. What would he do if they didn't? What could he do?

Nothing. He was useless. He couldn't look at Chacal. She should want nothing to do with him after this. He would ensure they knew that she wanted them home as he found them, but he'd failed them all here today.
