Redtail Rise Savin’ his Pennies for someday

Redd considered the group and saw that none would step forward.

It was not a rank she wanted. She had no desire to reign over her brother and cousin and her place was as hunter, running within Augur’s charge.  If any were to challenge Lilia it would be the two of them, but both were cowed beneath her.  Perhaps this was as she had planned.

Redd did not want it, but if it was not earned, it would not be real.  If Lilia was to take this place, she should be given the chance to prove it.

Silently the red girl stepped forward and met Lilia’s gaze, no enmity within.  She would offer a challenge and submit only when she felt submission earned.
