Redsand Canyon tribute

---

ajaw patrols the borders of the suntouched canyon; tikal's home, as the earthsung to them, a deep drumbeat that they feel in the very marrow of their bones.

their days are spent split between border marking and venturing outside of the canyon in the hopes of finding the remaining holcan.

many were among tikal's growing ranks. few remained in the four winds of the wilds, as instructed by ajaw before their arrival. better, they think, that they and their holcan do not come in like an invading army.

a familiar scent, absent the scent of her sisters draws ajaw's attention and they are quick to adjust their course to intercept. heavy footfalls aim to close the difference. holcan. chuffs ajaw in greeting.
