I will not be running a third mini-story here, but as a small reward for stopping by, here are the spirit birds of the renegades up to the last chapter posted. They're mostly Canadian birds, those being the ones I know best!
Sethral (Hawk)
Whipper (Nuthatch)
Silversand (Magpie)
Taz (Red-Winged Blackbird)
Fletch (Mourning Dove)
Jay (Woodcock)
Ryatzi (Swift)
Wing (Phalarope)
Cheers!
