Redhawk Caldera Strange are the stars.

Tempest sighed as Mikael lay his muzzle on her back. "Yes. You can count on me." she replied in answer to his question. She sat back on her haunches as @Mikael asked another question.

"What about you? Have any siblings?"

Tempest was silent for a moment before answering. Very few people knew of her past, and she wanted it to stay that way. She knew she could trust Mikael not to go telling everyone, so she told him.

"I don't know. I didn't know my parents, they left me when I was born. The coyotes that found me said I looked dead, and it was only after a couple minutes that they realized I was breathing, if faintly."

Glancing at Mikael, she thought he must confused.

"They cared for me, the coyotes. I thought I was one of them until they told me. That was before they were all killed."

She wasn't sure if she wanted to mention her father quite yet. She wanted to forget him, in hopes he would forget her.
