Redhawk Caldera Be like Elsa, let it go.

Towhee’s words caused Elwood’s stomach to drop. He wasn’t necessarily surprised — of course those slimy bastards would just slink back and return to life as they knew it — but it certainly wasn’t what he wanted to hear. He and his family had made sacrifices to ensure their safety against the Blackfeather wolves, and now it was like the war had never happened.

His mouth ran dry and he remained silent as Towhee continued to explain and detailed her suggestion. Although Finley’s first response was to curse in fury, Elwood had to admit that leaving the caldera seemed like their best option. He hated to leave behind the legacy left here by Fox and Peregrine, but what else could they do? Their previous efforts had apparently been fruitless, and now he just wanted to get as far away from the criminals as possible.

”We should go,” he said, quietly but firmly. One of the boys yawned loudly behind them, and he glanced back into the the den. For Cinder and Tywyll — abandoning Redhawk Caldera would be worth it. He wouldn’t allow them to grow up in the shadow of fear cast by Blackfeather. He turned to look at Finley, hoping to gain her agreement, and then leveled his gaze determinedly at Towhee with a nod.
