Redtail Rise sojourner

New Snow grinned to see her daughter with her three youngest. There was approval there, and New Snow pondered what this next Spring might bring for her Moon Runner. New Snow hoped her daughter might stay, and find her future here. But she remembered also her own path that had led her to Mountain Boulder. Many of her brood had been called by the wilds beyond, as she herself had been. 

She saw then the storm beyond, watched as her daughter gathered their attention. New Snow could feel the gathering tension in the air, knowing the air pressure would build the closer it came. New Snow shared a look with her daughter that said in answer, yes!

One of her daughters playfully bounded towards the direction of the storm, pausing to look back. Storm Chaser, New Snow barked gleefully, mouth forming the shapes and sounds of her name in a series of warm woofs. Now she looked to Moon Runner, nosing her side, sniffing her cheek. You are content? she sought to find out. Much change had come to them!
