Dragoncrest Cliffs Clothe yourself with all the rough alikes

No, she thought.  It was impossible for her to accept that her leaving had been wrong.  She left first.  That was her mistake.  The only ones who mattered should have been us.  So why shouldn't she have left too?  At least her mother had seen fit to ask her to come with.  Kiwi had never come to terms with Heda's responsibility to the other branches.  In her mind, anything not Drageda had been other.

I won't make that mistake. she said, resolutely.  She'd left Firebirds but she hadn't been Queen there, and now Wildfire had other kids who had less of the iron she held in them.  They could accept the friendship with the Redhawks, who Kiwi saw no value in, and the lesser motivation of members who should be doing more.  She, meanwhile, would build something of her own.  Something that, when she told her mom about next time she visited, Wildfire would definitely be proud of.  Unlike her sister, she was leaving to make something for herself.
