Redhawk Caldera Who are these folks?

Valette pointed out the strangeness of the caldera's appearance before shifting gears and talking about the war. She wondered how the visitor knew about it, though she didn't leave Towhee wondering long. She wanted information about it. The young Alpha's ears shifted backward slightly in consideration.

At length, she spoke. "Yes, I fought in the war. We won. But we didn't kill all of them." We should've... she thought with a note of bitterness. "They fled the immediate area but I can't say where they went. It's always a good idea to stay vigilant." She paused, then added with a touch of reluctance, "I have heard of attacks since the battle," but did not elaborate.

"The caldera is not a mountain," she added in the next breath, "it's an extinct volcano."
