Redtail Rise metzengerstein

Avicus pauses from marking some brush to look at Lilia in reply to her question.

i came here for revenge againhh' woman who killedh my Ma, she says. oh'her wolvehh' came. i needed warriorhh'. and here we are.

it's as simple as that. obviously she'd been groomed from birth to be a leader, but only Astara's death had rocketed her into that purpose. 

we will kill her, one day, Avicus vows, looking at the two youths. and everyone who followhh' her.

with that, urine streams across the Rise's boundary, hot and steaming against the bracing breeze.
