Redtail Rise onyx

his heart gallops in his chest.

it is true—he finds, pacing into the clearing, that finally

redd is home.

he is not the first to get to her, both the huntlead and masquerade’s boy had found her. a difficult task; she is silent, lay in wait by the border.

the berserkr stands from afar and watches.

but part of her is gone; her strength, confidence, authority.

unease prickles the hairs along his spine. there was something inexplicably uncanny about the encounter which troubled his mind.

he finds the side of mountain boulder and shadows his assessment.

to redd, he offers a pitied wave of his tail to coax her near.

wealda could be hers if she had the courage to take it.

a wealda should not be stricken with guilt.
