Redtail Rise Mama Leone left a note on the door

the stranger had been chased away.

augur stopped beyond the borders of the rise, hackles a cutting spike from shoulder to tail. a howl followed at the heels of the trespasser: what he had done, his appearance, his age.

all conveyed to those of augur's pack.

he would not leave the border for some time, inviting wolverine to patrol the far side of it. the cache must be moved, augur felt. and the bird was carrion, insofar as he was concerned.

the yellow eyes were hard.
