Redtail Rise above me, the sky is a river

The Berserkr followed the man’s gaze. He too had a missing sister, but their situation was flip flopped. His sister was tracking him, meanwhile Mulherin was instead the one tracking his own sister. He wondered if Masquerade felt like Gavrel did. She’d run out for a reason, hadn’t she?

The thought stung like salt in a wound.

You don’t want her to find you?

He nearly scoffed at Gavrel’s next question. Family? The Rise is his family.

But then it hits him, where is his family?

Avicus, Ashlar, Relic, Ancelin, Lilia, Masquerade, Riley, Roamer, Redsky.. all gone.

The only family he has here are Redd and Carrion. Few Redtails were left in the Rise.

That wasn’t to say he didn’t appreciate Augur and his family—but there would always be a line between them, both families knew this. Blood ultimately comes first. 

Redd and Carrion are my sisters. There’s more of us out there, I’ve got family all over.
