Redtail Rise emerald

She had found within her a disconnect in the pack, a difficulty that made it hard to fit where others seemed to naturally flow.  She prized harmony and knew that her value was in her ability to join the others.  Why then did things seem easier alone?

It felt a betrayal.  She was wrong.  This was the feeling that drove her out today, hoping to find another to hunt beside.  Instead she’d tackled even this alone.

Of them all, the silent pair were easiest. Redd huffed around her kill as she was approached, then regarded her quietly, taking in her friendly manner and the lack of threat within.  Her tail waved and she bent, though her ears twitched as thunder rumbled closer.

They would find shelter, but first… a game.  If she could take a portion of what Redd held, then the meal could be shared.
