MEETING! (Everyone over here!)

[Sivoncé™]

Mist leaped lightly onto the bumpy, white stone in the center of the camp. Tilting back her snowy head, she let out a loud, crisp gathering howl. There were a few ceremonies that needed to be taken care of, as well as a few announcements that needed to be made. She waited patiently for her pack to assemble.

Riku ambled out of the healer den, resigning to speak with Kiara or Adrian after the meeting. His cough had worsened, but he was itching to return to Flower and his pups. He didn't want them to get sick, though, so he would wait untill further notice from Kiara.

Winter and Rye bounded out of the nursery on happy, light paws. The two pups were blissfully unaware of the thoughts that troubled their father, or the sickness that had infested the pack. They'd yet to show symptoms, but it was secretly brewing within the bodies of both pups.

Sparkling Ember and Polena strode slowly from the seniors den, spasms of pain and much coughing had plauged both elders in the past days. Ember was a fighter, as was Polena, but this was something neither of the wolves had expected. Ember was still stubbornly determined to remain strong, but Polena was starting to let herself go. The two sat near the rock, waiting for Mist to speak.

Owen stood from his place by the neophyte den, licking the last of a meal from his lips. His ears pricked as Mist's howl rang through the air. The young brute made his way over to the so far small group of wolves, sitting down beside Sparkling Ember.

Ebony stood a little further back with Reige, wary of the wolves gathering around him. His failing eyesight made it harder for him to be as sure of himself as he had been in past moons. Reige stood next to Ebony, looking at each wolf as they appeared, some with curiousity and others with a hint of worry. He noticed the sickness had spread here as well.

Nova padded into the camp as Mist let out her howl. Casting a cold blue-eyd look at the alphess, Nova padded to the neophyte den, ignoring the meeting completely.

Gemini's slender pale form sat at the edge of the gathering wolves, pale blue eyes watching the others gather around. Her eyes lingered on Nova whom was ignoring the meeting and the femme looked sad. Nova would never be the same.

[Sivoncé™]

Mist's tail flicked slightly as Nova passed, and a sad look enetered her mysterious gaze. Turning back to the matters at hand, Mist concluded to venture a chat with Nova later. "Wolves of the Sheeran pack, we are proud to welcome six new wolves to our ranks. A few days ago, Sirius delivered three pups to us. The pups were found abandoned in their territory, and the Destinians had no bearers to feed them. We honor the wolven code and have taken them in as pups of our own. They've yet to even open their eyes to this world, but when they do, they will not learn of their unknown heritage. They will simply learn as any other Sheeran pup would," she barked.

[Destiny]

Akaira padded silently from the neophytes den. Her auds perked as she padded towards the center of the camp. Mist had called a pack meeting. There was a solemn, yet somewhat happy and perky expression on the young femme's face. Mist was one of the few nice wolves Akaira new. She had welcomed her into the pack. Even after what she had done. Destiny had scarred her face, a scar identical to Destiny's own, so that she would always remember. Most would say that what she was too remember was the murder she had commited. But she knew that was not true. Destiny had told her not to live in the past, or worry about the future. Whatever happens happens. Akaira lived by that.

The femme's pelt had grown long and thick. It was mostly a blueish silver color. But in the right lighting, the light of the moon, you could see that her fur had white,ebony and soot grey in it too. Akaira's pools were a blueish color still.

[Kismet//Accalia]

Akane came running into the clearing. He was panting hard because he had gone out alone to hunt. It seemed to be harder hunting alone than he thought.

Aimi saw her brother and walked over to him. "It looks like you had some fun. Maybe you should rest after this."

Kakashi sat within the small crowd of wolves. He looked around curiously. So many wolves. He had been in a pack before, that was a long time ago. He just smiled and looked at Mist.

[Sivoncé™]

"Also, I'm sure you all remember the noble acts of Reige and Ebony at the last battle with the Yozorans. They chose to follow the Wolven Code rather than an unjust order. Unfortunately, they were exiled for their convictions. We offer them a warm welcome into our pack, and appreciate their true hearts. From this moment forward, Ebony will known as a senior of the Sheerans, and Reige a neophyte of the Sheerans. Reige has already learned much, but Riku will aide him in the finishing of his education," Mist announced.

Riku offered Reige a welcoming smile and padded forward to butt heads with him, as was tradition.

[Kismet//Accalia]

Akane nodded to Aimi. "Yes, I'll go rest later on."He tilted his head towards Reige. "Another neophyte. Maybe we can become friends with them."

"Yup," said Aimi.

[Destiny]

Akaira glanced towards Aimi and Akane. She hadn't really spoken to either of them since coming to join the Sheerans. Well,actually, she hadn't really spoken to anyone. The others probably just didn't like her. She couldn't blame them. Her blueish pools darted to Reige for a moment. Nodding quickly,at least they would have one thing in common. They had both been banished from their packs.

[Ärï]

Reige watched Riku approach and unwillingly left Ebony's side, leaving the misty-eyed senior in a sea of blurred unfamiliar wolves. Ebony waited patiently as Reige butted heads with Riku, hesitant, before going back over to Ebony. In unfamiliar territory, Reige felt unsure about leaving his friend lost in a sea of unknown wolves and scents. Ebony's ears flicked to and fro as he listened to the goings on around him, hazy amber eyes trying to find familiar faces. Reige's attention was caught when blue eyes flicked to him, looking almost interested. Reige looked away, still unsure and hesitant.

Ebony rose to his paws and turned his head toward Mist's blurred form. "Thank you Mist" he said, calm lyrics carrying their former strength from a time when seasons had been kinder to the brute.

[Destiny]

Akaira's pools remained on Reige. SHe was about to pad over and speak to him. But the femme thought better of it. She didn't want to make his life worse by speaking to him. Besides, the meeting was still going on.

[Sivoncé™]

Mist dipped her head to Ebony. "You're very welcome, Ebony. Polena and Ember can show you around after the meeting," she woofed. Ember and Polena turned, nodding kindly to Ebony. The two seniors would definitly appreciate extra company.

Mist proceeded with her announcements, "And last but not least, we welcome Kakashi. He was of a pack long ago, but since then a wanderer. He is warrior age, and will be welcomed as a full Proeliator. However, I am trusting Gemini to show him the terra and evaluate his skills further."

[Kismet//Accalia]

Kakashi didn't say anything, but he did nod.

Wow, Akane wondered. Thinking about it, that's quite a few wolves joining us. Cool! He sat up straight and grin. I bet we're becoming the strongest pack around!

[Ärï]

The shy white femme was startled when Mist asked her to keep an eye on Kakashi. A soft sigh escaped Gemini's slender maw as she inclined her head in a polite nod. Hopefully he wouldn't be a talker. Gemini was quite a shy wolf.

Ebony turned his head toward the elder Mist indicated and managed to catch her scent since his blurring vision wasn't what it once was.

[Kismet//Accalia]

Kakashi tilted his head sideways, eyes carefully looking around the clearing. I'll have to see who Gemini is after the meeting. Sounds like a nice wolf.

[Ärï]

Sighing again Gemini rose to her paws. The meeting was mostly over and she felt like a hunt. Maybe extra fresh kill would help wolves that were showing signs of whitecough and greencough. The slender femme gave her pale silver-white coat a brisk shake and padded toward the camp entrance, pale blue orbs glancing left and right at some other warriors. She moved with a grace almost feline-like, a shy white ghost always seen at the edge of things.
