Redhawk Caldera An only child of the universe

It struck her as odd that a perfect stranger could appear at their doorstep seeking to join. Did Wylla know the first thing about the caldera? She must; otherwise, why would she want to toss herself into the ranks? What did she know then? Rather, what did she think she knew?

Before she could ask, Wylla made a remark that sidetracked the young mercenary. "Anything else?" Towhee retorted. There were so many ways she could toy with such a declaration, yet she didn't have time for games. "If you're a hunter," she continued, "then prove it." She arched her neck to glance at the hawk sitting stoically astride her left shoulder blade now. "Are you hungry?" The hawk made no reply but Towhee faced Wylla again and said, "Make a kill and bring it back here. We'll wait."
