Redtail Rise Savin’ his Pennies for someday

None had stood in her way- Redd, and appreciated foe, moved forward so she might have a chance to prove herself in a combat that would earn her the title, so long as Augur had agreed. As far as she could tell, he was in favour of their methods. Berserkr Had been called upon, and only Lilia had stepped forward. Now, she would square off with Redd and prove herself worthy in front of a captive audience.

She drew some inspiration for the fighting moves she had learned from Prophet. To use them now might make him proud- though she used his great capability to remain on his feet to prove herself better than him now. At the end of the day, she had one thing that Prophet didn’t-

-undying loyalty. 

So she fought for the rank she felt she deserved. A rank that would not be given back to Prophet when he returned. She lunged and snapped, parried and shoved; using her jaws, her feet, and the slam of her body to gain ground. Still, she noticed that Redd seemed to be holding back, and that Lilia could move her around with relative ease. She growled. 

Redd’s heart didn’t seem to be in the fight. She shoved her shoulder against the other’s and turning a glinting eye toward her, and whispered hoarsely into her ear. ”Tetht me, Redd. Tetht me, or thave your hide if you think that’th been enough, and you would follow me.” She said. Whipping someone whose heart was in the fight would be cowardice. She wouldn’t feel worthy of the title of her opponent wouldn’t square up and fight her fully.

She squared up and flagged her tail over her back. Set and ready, she opened her jaws and roared toward her opponent- and waited to see what she would do next. But if Redd chose not to battle her, then Lilia would not punish her for it.
