Redtail Rise And it seems such a waste of time

Lilia bristled and stared hard into the ground when Avicus spoke. The selfish thought of but I won it fair and square! flashed through her mind though it felt too immature to voice out loud. She gritted her teeth. Perhaps she should have gone to Avicus the moment she moment she took her role back- but she couldn’t bend time. 

There was only one thing to do. 

She could see why Wealda had chosen him. Relic was fierce- and he was also her son. She fumed to think that she might not be thought of as family, too- but no matter how much blood she spilled on the borders, it would not change hers. 

She did not want to go against Avicus’ decision, but the way in which Relic had simply been handed the rank bothered her. Augur had implied that Berserkr should be fought for- and she had seen that none of the others had wanted to oppose her. They had all accepted her.

Avicus hadn’t seen it’d, though. If she had, things might have been different. But there was no changing the past now. 

Once their conversation had ended, she touched her muzzle to Wealda’s jaw gently, hoping she might be forgiven for her dying need to prove herself- and went off to think.
