Signs of Life

Not too many grand and notable things have been happening in Ricin’s life and that is fine with the blue man since he has been content to keep his head down and work for the good of the pack. While the brothers have come such a long way from the scared, orphaned pups that Manea had found all those seasons ago, there are still moments when he cannot help but feel that his life is too good. After all, what had he done to deserve so much joy? Not that he is complaining, mind you, it just… feels amazing.

A gentle, yet chilly breeze ruffles his light blue fur as he looks up at the clouds, the sight breathtaking from his perch atop one of the many tall peaks above the caves. The clouds boil, gray and thick, as if they are trying to throw the whole world into a depressed, dreary state. Yet, Ricin’s spirits can no longer can held down because he now soars, far above them where the sun always shines on his face. A call from down below pulls his attention away from the heavens, his ruby eyes turning to the area where the lake rests.

With a smile, he quickly descends the treacherous mountain path, his paws as sure footed as a mountain goat so that the wet and snowy patches hardly slow him down. Finally, he once again touches the ground and he swiftly heads to the meeting area by the lake. There, Avacyn sits on the tall slab, presiding over the land and, with a bright, happy smile, the blue man dips his head in a bow, forever grateful to her and her family. With that, he picks a space where he and Chade will sit… when his decides to brother appear of course. Flashing Albion a smile, he settles in to wait.
