He found a great joy in the land he had been shown.
His first task he set upon was testing himself on the trails that led up. He had, of course, not made it near the top yet but that was the point! This task could become a thing of training that strengthened him.
If raiders came to their door, he would be sure he was strong enough to defend the spine of the dragon with a ferociousness befitting their name.
If they needed someone to bring down a beast for a hunt, he wanted to know he might be picked for such a grand task.
It was why he raced his way up the mountainside even as his lungs begged for a break. His legs desperate to know each step over the trails until they were no stranger to him than himself.
Soon he might go to see if Raider was not too tired from her little kickers to hunt with him.

experimental writing with this character
Masque informed him of their new recruit, and in Riley awoke a new purpose. As of late he’d been hovering — suffocatingly so — but now with new blood to their ranks, he could expend more energy along the hills.
He found the young male going pell-mell up an incline. Riley was far too old (and still nursing a sore hip) to waste his energy so playfully, but he followed after at a steady clip, wondering what had gotten into the yearling.
