Redtail Rise Þief

today was a moment to bid for tall man's former place.

red woman had her brother here now. the clawan's eyes lingered on shadow man as he brought his sons to watch.

he shook his ruff and turned toward the horizon. blood eyes was given a low rumble of respect, and he sought red woman's chin with a lick. 

blacktail was given an affectionate look. he glanced at the pups: snowcap (relic), warbler (masquerade), and now the last (redd). his child, though this was unknown to any of them. 

like her mother she was crimson. and her eyes were sharp as those of the eagle soul which red woman carried her. blood star, he decided. 

the boys were granted a cursory look. one bore a black muzzle and a hard look for warbler. augur switched his tail. the second boy was quieter, but his look was still wild out of a mask running pale. 

dark tooth. cloud eyes. 

augur did not think new snow would come. the hunt was not for her, not now. it would be again. 

he stepped to stand below red woman's perch, waiting.
