“Wait a second!” Ciana’s eyes grew wide open as she gasped, “So the real artifact of our pack is not the Feather of Justice?!”

“Correct,” I confirmed.

Ciana jumped down from a low branch of a cherry tree, in her arms were some freshly picked, luscious, red fruit. She dropped the large heart-shaped cherries on the picnic blanket and sat down next to me.

“So, you and Dad decided to lie to the entire pack?”

“Ciana, think about this. What use is the artifact other than being taken out and shown to the pack during routine ceremonies?”
