Moonless Meeting (May 16th 2008)

[Sivoncé™]

Annelise stared at him, studying his words intensely. She noted the way he shook slightly, and frowned again. "Are...are you okay, Shade?" She asked, voice measured.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

"What? Yeah... I'm fine. Don't worry," he mumbled, sitting up straight again and curling his tail over his paws. "Just... thinking about some things- no worries."

[Sivoncé™]

"Oh....all right, then!" Annelise's frown faded, but she did not smile. Instead, she held a thoughtful gaze on Shade. She knew there was something deeper, but it was none of her business, nor was it her place, to push him. Besides, he knew nothing about her past...though she was sure her pelt gave her parents away, anyway. And he most likely knew who she was, but the past was the past...now was now. Just because she didn't know his past, and he didn't know hers, didn't mean they couldn't know each other now. "So...do you...er...star gaze at all?" It was a random question, but the sky was just clearing after the raging storm, and the stars were always fascinating to her.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Tearing himself away from dark thoughts, he grinned. "Actually, yeah... I used to star gaze a lot back when-" he hesitated for a millisecond "-I was a pup."
He looked up to the sky, blinking with unguarded fascination shining in his eyes. "I've always wondered... what they were, you know? If they are truly our ancestors..."

[Sivoncé™]

{Okay, this is slightly ridiculous, so Mist is just going to start here,}

Mist tilted her head, giving the howl to silence. Sabela was too busy putzing around to notice they all wanted to start, so her loss. "It is our pleasure to say that many pups and mothers fill our nurseries, and the Sheerans are quite thriving. Our ranks are growing, despite the minor setbacks of a battle I'd like to talk to you all more about," she started, tail twitching slightly. "The wolven code teaches us to help our brothers in times of need. A few weeks back, the legendary alphess of my pack, Rain, returned to us. She unfortunately has amnesia, and has gone back to live her new life. Regardless of this, the Siverians and Yozorans failed to come to our aid when Black Fury's rouges pummeled us down. My warriors inform me that Aliya and Sabela were together in the Destinian Camp, chatting like old friends! Well here's something you can all chew over: if they're complaining so much that Black Fury's Gang had hurt their packs, then why didn't they join us against them, and perhaps then we could've even driven them out? Twisted logic, I'd say. Perhaps you should stop jittering like neophytes and start acting like leaders with heads on their shoulders!" Mist snapped.

[Destiny]

Light's tassel lashed against the stone. Optics glaring furiously in the direction of Aliya, then Sabela. He did not speak yet, however.

Aliya refrained from snarling, but her voice was cold as ice. "Well, Mist, perhaps we have our own pack's to take care of! You can't expect the Destinians to come to your aid every time you get attacked, the Yozorans came, and if two packs against Black Fury and his idiots wasn't enough then that's just to bad! I have young pups and neophytes that need to be looked after and I can not very well send wolves who must guard them and the rest of the pack and the terra in order to help the Sheerans!"

Light snarled slightly. "Aliya, if you would simply stop being so hard headed like Sirius was you'd realize that Mist is correct! If you, and the Siverians, had come to the aid of the Sheerans like the Yozorans did then we might have been able to drive Black Fury's gang out of the forest for good, and no pack would have to worry about it any longer!"

Now a snarl ripped from her maw. "Well, I'm sorry that I couldn't aid you and your precious mate Light. But I made the decision I thought best at the time, and I still stand by it."The name of her mate had brought out the fury that she felt.
Leave Sirius out of this you cat!

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Toss' coat bristled at the mention of Sirius. What does that youngster think he's doing?

Magic kneaded his paws in the ground in front of him, biting back a low sigh of anger. These alliances are getting ridiculously
close!

Bain glared at Aliya through hostile eyes, claws flexing. The powerful brute had to force himself to ignore the urge to swipe at the alphess.

(lol XD I love Toss.... even when he's serious he entertains me- "youngster" )

[Sivoncé™]

Mist snorted with exasperation. "Are you completely deaf? It could've benefitted all of the packs, that means you, too, dunce!" She shook her head, irritated. "I don't have time to waste trying to educate the brainless. Light, please speak next." She said, ignoring Aliya's jeers about Light and herself.

[Sheera]

Sabela's tail lashed with dignity, her eyes burning into Light's pelt, awaiting for him to begin. Her eyes were calm, but she stared intently at the wolf.
She waited, and listened quietly.

[Destiny]

Light's upper lip curled slightly, and he growled deeply in the direction of Aliya. At Mist's words the alpha turned his furious gaze from the moronic fae and to the packs gathered. "The Yozorans have been blessed with two large litters, birthed by Saskia and Kiba. All of the pups are strong, and will make excellent proeliators when their times come." His tail lashed somewhat. "The Yozorans aided the Sheerans in the battle against Black Fury's gang, there were many injuries, but no fatalaties that I am aware of."

[Sivoncé™]

Mist nodded at Light's words. "Nor were there any fatalities from the Sheerans. We thank the Yozorans immensely for their aid in our goal to rid the forest of Black Fury and his killers." She barked in acknowledgement to his phrase, then silenced once more, eyes flickering with unknown emotions.

[Sheera]

"Black Fury's Gang seems to be at its reign, and we apologize for not having enough proeliaters to aide your pack, for we had to keep them home at our own; if Black Fury's Gang had attacked the Siverians, and we had aided the Sheerans, our proeliaters wouldn't be there to aid our pack, and the pups would have little protection." Sabela's calmed voice sounded after Mist's thank-you towards Light.
She watched the two leaders evenly, her eyes watching when each were talking

[Destiny]

Light tossed his crown slightly in Aliya's direction. "Speak alphess." He growled, rather irritated and now the alpha seemed to be in a horrid mood.

Iver lashed his tassel against the earth.
Foolish idiots...

Aliya growled somewhat. "The new Destinian beta has been chosen for his wisdom, courage and respectful nature; this wolf is Toss, well known for his age and many, many litters. Our new proxy is Fireflight, a quick-thinking and calm natured wolf." Aliya nodded in their direction. "Svel, one of the fastest wolves in the forest, if not thee, has blessed our pack with a litter of three strong healthy pups. Many new neophytes and even more lupus proeliators have been made, and we don't have time to list them all right now. Never the less, we congratulate them all." Aliya's optics glistened and a few tears made their way across her features. "We pray, that our former alpha Sirius.... we hope that he...that he is happy and... and at peace in the Twilight Realm. May he.... may he rest there....forever..." She stumbled over the sentances, and paused a lot. Her face was turned down for a few moments.

[Sivoncé™]

"With that said and done, I think we're done here," Mist growled coldly, uncaring for Aliya's speech. "I'd rather not spend more time in your proximity if I don't have to," she snarled. With that, the impossibly shimmering white alphess stepped down from the stone, bidding her pack to follow and flashing Light one last longing look.

Sivvy's Sheerans followed Mist. XP

Nightshade snorted with irritance, tail lashing with anger.

Fireflight felt a glow of pride in her heart, but also flicker of humor;; she was actually quite hyper, but she really could be calm when she needed to be. She supposed that was what Aliya meant.

Annelise offered Shade one last, shy smile. "Maybe I'll see you soon. Keep your head above these clouds...I mean...take care, all right? Times of war tear more than just skin apart..." With that, the silver and black laced femme went to join her pack.

[Sheera]

Sabela felt fury flare in her heart;; for she had not spoken. She had only simply said that she was sorry. She flicked her tail briefly and trotted with dignity towards the edge of the clearing. Once she reached it she broke into a swift run towards her terras.
