Redtail Rise pilot.

there are many changes in the rise; and those happening within him, too.

it was those he focused on, often scouting out of the territory far and wide. not returning for days. sometimes a week at a time.

when he was in the rise, he sequestered himself away to his bachelor den, though did his best to keep up on with his hunting skills.

but enough was enough.

it was decided one morning as he cracked a golden eye open to the sun filtering through the mouth of his den.

no more would he be a passive participant in the rise.
