Redtail Rise onyx

mountain boulder crowded night eye without preamble. his chest held a great growl; he invaded the younger male's space, using the strength of his longer legs and his tall height to reinforce his power.

blood star stepped back. the red pup followed. moon runner watched.

mountain boulder did not strike. raised hackles and high tail spoke enough.

the growl continued, loud, inexorable. he understood night eye's choice. teeth had always greeted the transition of wealda. would their tradition change now?
