Redhawk Caldera Let me tell you my story.

Although the crowd did not go wild as her brother hoped, Towhee saw most eyes turn toward Finley. She and Elwood appeared to be smiling at one another. The Xi gazed at them fondly for a moment, grinning a little when the Alpha female's gaze returned to her. With a quick glance at Phox—"You ready?"—she then prepared to deliver the third installation.

-Finley loyally followed Peregrine back here to the caldera. While Fox healed, the others set up the pack and started recruiting members. One of the very first ones to arrive was Elwood.- Towhee pointed tellingly at the pack's current patriarch, then refocused on her audience. -Together, the four of them led the caldera through the seasons. They survived lots of stuff, like a crazy storm,- she regaled them, remembering Raven's recollection of said weather event, -and even a huge swarm of bugs that ate all the plants!- She was pretty sure Elwood had mentioned that one. Or maybe it had even been Gannet. Not that it mattered at the moment.

-They all lived happily here for a few years, raising their families,- Towhee went on after a brief pause, her face suddenly growing a little more sober. -Then last fall, Peregrine died very suddenly... but not before putting one last batch of babies in Fox's belly.- The story was very nearly finished—or, rather, brought up to the present day—but Towhee paused there, taking a moment of respectful silence for her father's legacy.
