Redtail Rise merlot

None came to stop her.  She had announced her desire for a claim.  If they had wished her to remain as Wealda she would have.

They did not wish it.  They’d shown this already but the confirmation was needed, if only to quell the disquiet in her own heart. She could not take back these intentions, nor live with this resentment towards those she loved.  The Rise was no longer her home.

She would wait for Ruckus and then depart without ceremony.  A sense of grief hung over her mind, but externally she stood resolute, firm in the renewed knowledge that this was as it should be.

Redd, Wealda, neither were needed here any longer.  She would carry her knowing to a new place and create a legacy of her own.  Those of the rise would be welcome if ever they came, but she would not remain close.  There was no reason to hold on to things now left to the past.
