Redhawk Caldera You're gonna have to learn to like the rockin' of the waves.

So much power put in the paws of one so young.

Sorana understood some things about hierarchy. She understood that mama was the Raven of the pack, meaning she was high enough to make a lot of decisions all by herself. She understood that only uncle Eljay was higher ranked, and he was the Auspex, which meant he could do anything he liked and he could tell everyone else what to do, too, if he wanted to.

She understood that Reyes was comparing her to the Auspex when he called her the captain of the crew, even though queen was an unfamiliar title. This was compounded by Bronco bowing and saying he was at her command. That meant she was just like uncle Eljay! She could tell them to do anything and they would have to do it!

Sim! she loudly decided, wanting to go back to what she and daddy had been doing before Bronco showed up, only he could join them now!
