Redhawk Caldera spirits born from the not happened yet

Eljay didn't really want to leave home at all. He felt anxious stepping over Brecheliant's borders for the first time since they'd named him Auspex, and for the first time since he had become a father. Immediately he thought of all the horrendous things that could happen to him on the way, but he'd already told @Maia that he would go and of course, she couldn't just come with him because she needed to watch the children in his absence. His gut felt twisted in a knot as he headed towards the Caldera's borders. He knew there was no rush because things'd been left well with the Caldera, but he'd kept hearing Teya's words, about how Towhee was wounded and how Ruenna visiting Brecheliant might be tough on them right now. It made him worry, and while he still felt a flare up of stress when he thought of how he had left the Caldera and how suffocating it'd felt to have to take care of them, he also missed them a great deal and cared for them.

So the caretaker set off in the morning. Passing the lake was pretty uneventful, and it put his worries to shame. Still, he couldn't shake the feeling that something bad would happen to him. Eljay felt relieved when he reached Redhawk Caldera's borders without much happening on his way around Lake Rodney. When he reached the Caldera's borders, Eljay lifted his nose to howl for @Ruenna, because he knew that she had said she'd visit Brecheliant. He didn't call for @Towhee or Fennec, though he could tell that their scents were thick on the border, too. Hopefully that meant that Towhee had recovered, but he still didn't want to put extra pressure on her shoulders. And maybe he was a little daunted at the thought of seeing Towhee again, afraid that she hated him for leaving at a tough time.
