Redtail Rise LI

Finally, in her eyes, Augur saw sense.  He would not prevent what needed to come.  Redd watched him go and relaxed some, now that her mother stood firm in her presence here.

Soon it would be settled.

If Lilia remained to challenge, Redd would stand behind Avicus, but the struggle would be between old and new.  Let her prove herself worthy of denying the prior Wealda her place.  If she went, then the pack would have no need for further conflict.

Either way, the pack would be parted, falling away under the natural struggles of a matriarch enforcing her rule and a young leader flexing her authority.  No pack could maintain two Wealda.

Redd chuffed quietly to Masque, offering her support in following Avicus back to the others waiting.  She had few doubts they would return soon.
