Redtail Rise israfel

Redd watched as one by one they voiced their thoughts, her own reaction silent and waiting.  She did not have until spring to wait and would not beg her place of Lilia… yet if all wished to remain, she would go in peace and find a new place for herself.  One where she could bide and contribute until her mother was restored to her rightful rank.

She had no wish to fight or to fracture the pack further, a likely outcome here.  Yet if they wished to fight she would.  She was no warrior in her current shape, but what strength she had belonged to the Rise.  And the true Rise was here; even Augur and his family had held Avicus’ place for her alone.  That they vowed this much showed where the heart of their pack was anchored.

Redd would continue to watch and would only follow if, when all was decided, the others departed the lands.  Otherwise she would drift off to wait and see what the next days would bring.
