Redtail Rise Crossing the frontier, 2

Still bristling and bleeding, she remained at the site of the trespasser's death, as though ready to fight the spirit the moment it stirred from the corpse. New Snow came and treated both warriors with her grateful and loving presence. She gazed into the distance for a moment as New Snow cleansed her wounds, feeling oddly numb until the sting of reality roused her from her thoughts. 

It was as good as she'd thought it would be. The impulse to kill another wolf had been awakened the day war had been brought to the pack, though she felt she had changed much since then. Her confidence became emboldened by experience, and having followed through on her instincts, she found herself properly christened as Berserkr. 

The corpse would be left for some time, a warning to all others; Redtail Rise would continue to be the bane of fools and trespassers.
