This was the first time he would be at the gathering for a long time. Now that he was a little more used to the idea of other wolves being here, he Thought he could try attending a gathering. He was afraid of how they would treat him after seeing bullet wounds and burns and scratches all over him, but he would stick it out. He's been through worse than mental abuse.
He stayed on the very edge of the clearing and looked around. Humf. Not one wolf. Though, he had to admit, he had normally been early for the most part in the old days. He sat in the shadows unmoving, merely looking like part of the scenery instead of like another wolf. He waited patiently for other wolves to arrive.
He thought back to that time when he and Niko found Feather in the Fruit trees. She had not been very happy to see either of them. It had been as if she were fending off an enemy. Had she been that hurt? He ccontinued sitting stock-still. He knew that she had Liked Niko, and had known that she had been fond of him, but love? He Had sensed iin her a strong feeling toward Niko, but had not understood it completely, as he had never known it himself. And indeed, she had felt broken-hearted at that time. What else could he say? That he would leave her alone? No. That would have been cruel.

It was quiet. Silent; which he preferred anyway. He felt sort of bad...He'd been here nearly two months and, though observing, could not bring himself to decide on a pack to join. Maybe attending a..."peace gathering", which he had heard being spoken of all over the valley, might help him make up his him. So here he was, creeping through the moonlight that danced so lovingly through his splatter-paint-fur. The sacredness of the land, the tradition, memories, the age, it all overwhelmed him, but subtle. He smiled to himself, the familiar feeling soothing his aching heart. He stopped at the edge, looking around, tail curling under him. Noone else...wait, one other. One ear cocked up, he looked over at him. Heart thudding in his chest - 'Nerves? Just over talking to someone? Well...it's almost been three years, but still...' - he raised his head just a little. "Huh....Hullo?" His voice started out quiet, just above normal speaking voice (which was, originally, pretty quiet anyway). "I...am..." He stopped, taking a teeny step forward, though the rest of his courage, like his voice, failed him. "...CyKlone." He finished, shuffling his paws and twisting his tail nervously.

Freya padded towards the sacred area, letting the shadows hide her from prying eyes. She had absolutely had no idea why she was walking towards the meeting. It wasnt like she followed tradition, in fact she hated tradition. Yet here she was walking. Maybe it was because she missed the previous meetins, missing out on finding the power of other wolves. yea thats what she put it down to, the only reason why she'd go was to find powers. She slipped out of the shadows deciding to be a little over dramatic with her apperance. She opened a portal, stepping into it. The exit of the portal opened up in the center of the clearing and she growled before leaping out of it, landing gracefully on her paws. Freya looked around, damn there wasnt many wolves here yet. She knew one of them, she was still after him but her interest was on the one she didnt know, her first thought was wondering what power this wolf had.

Nokida sighed as she walked into the clearing "Freya" she said nodding in respect before jumping to her rock top seat.

Thumbing into the gathering area with a slidding stop, he hurried to catch his breath from all the running he had done to try not being late this time before pulling his heavy body up with an awkward grin towards the other wolves. Though a little nervous about his rushed enterence, he ignored it and focused on giving a friendly greeting to most the other few members there since one or two of them made him a bit unnerved. "Howdy there, people! Looks like I'm the only one of my pack so far, huh? Oh well! It's a pleasure to meet ya'll again for the meetin'." Waddling across the field with his same friendly smile, his attention was caught by the smell of tasty mushrooms which he quickened his pace to meet up with before anyone else there.

Aiden nearly jumped at the sound of another voice. He wasn't used to being in the open, so the voice had set him on guard. Then, realizing how ridiculous he had been, he relaxed. This was a peace gathering. Who would upset one? His question was answered when Freya came in. He knew she would be after The newest wolf, even if she had not known his power.
He spoke casually to CyKlone, sending him greetings as well. "Greetings, my friend." He walked to him through the shadows, but, though he was trying to be friendly, Stopped a few steps away. He did not feel comfortable getting too close to another, and this open area was not helping. He opened his mind to be able to hear this wolf's thoughts. He could tell that he had spoken to him, and did not want to make him feel uncomfortable by saying too much. "Nice to meet you. I'm called Aiden."

Iceflame suddenly slid into the clearing, nearly running into Bellows. "Hello everyone! How are you? That's great! Nice to meet you at a new gathering. I wonder how many will come don't you?" She didn't really wait for an answer from anyone, feeling exceptionally hyper today. In order to rid herself of some steam, she began running around the clearing, dodging others by either leaping over them or shooting around them. "'Scuse me! Pardon me!" Her tongue lolled out, and the smirk was apparent on her face.

Tyche sighed, if the information she'd gotten last time was correct than there was another Peace Gathering, which meant another chance at Niko. Moving into the group she smiled at each of them frowning at Aiden. She'd forgotten about him and wondered if he'd told Niko about her. Well she was going to make it clear that if he did that she would destroy him.
She sat back near Aiden giving a cool and collected smile to everyone. No one she'd been aquinted with before was there and she wondered for a second what had happened to Daimen and if he'd found his clan or a clan. It was sad really, he'd have made a good loner.
Shifting her paw caught a stick and she hissed in agitation and pain. She jumped landing on the paw and forcing it deeper in. Groaning she twisted her paw over uncomfortable and yanked it out with her teeth. To sooth and clean the wound she touched the ground with her nose pulling out a stream of water from the storage of the grass and moved it over. Her own healing powers were in use and in a second it was as if the mishap had never happened.
"That hurt," she grumbled, but became silent again with no one to talk to. She twisted before asking after a few minutes, "Anyone seen Uncle Niko?" She eyed Aiden to see if he'd contradict her or give anything away about the white wolf.

She turned at the sound of her name and gave Nokida a quick nod, at least the she wolf was still talking to her, even if it was just a name. "Hello, dear one," she replied as she watched the loner settle herself down before turning back to the others. More and more wolves were joining now. She knew she couldnt simply ask them of their powers, no she'd do it the sneaky way, her way. She moved to a tree and laid down in the shade, her head on her paws and making sure she had a bored look on her face. Her mind however sought out the wolves who she didnt know or and invaded their head, searching for their power before moving on to the next wolf, repeating the process until she knew of the powers. She yawned as she lazily scratched at the dirt, eventually digging a hole and finding a bone. She took it in her teeth and pulled it up. It was definitely a bone from a wolf leg. Though this wolf was long dead, Freya could feel traces of the power it once held. She looked up wondering if anyone had noticed her and her new discovery.

Slowly the female padded into the clearing her body language showing she was relaxed yet never-the-less alert. As she made her way toward the center her mind buzzed with past events and past memories. Memories of her brother and her bothering their father while he lazed under the tree-her eyes sought out for the familiar comfort. She sighed as she noticed the tree untouched and her eyes leaped to the old rock where her mother would usually seat herself. Her eyes noticed blue and-thinking it was a bird disregarded it. Yet she noticed the bird talk and she regained focus-now she realized it was Nokida.
What was she doing on her mother's rock? A growl emitted from her and she glared hard nearly wanting to bark an order or attack. Her claws were already digging small holes into the ground. How could she not know that, that rock was her mother's place? In the old days she had seen her recognized her mother's place. Maybe now since the Pass they had think to forget about those ways.
But Aisu did not. "Nokida, move." Her voice held no sincerity, no mercy or kindness. Just the rawness of an order from Alpha to subordinate. She waited on her haunches for the female to move-while doing so she took the opportunity to look around. She noticed wolves from the previous Gathering-taking note of one who addressed for Niko as "Uncle" she would have to look into that.
She saw Iceflame who was as hyper as ever-the thought made her smile slightly. She then to recognition of a colorful wolf, one with mixed colors as if he had been painted. He looked interesting. Aisu noticed the wolf that was near the colorful one-Aiden was it? The wolf that could read minds. She scoffed at the idea.
The silver Alpha glanced around once more feeling something wasn't quite right with the place. Something was out of balance. Her eyes dashed to the side and she nearly gasped. Freya, the Demon Alpha was gnawing on a bone-it was a fairly large bone, big enough to be the size of a wolf. Her hack rose at the idea as she noticed the hole that lay at the demon's feet.
"Do you know no shame? This is a sacred place! Yet you gnaw on ancestral bones as if a common pet!" She growled. The Alpha was in a fit of rage, first her mother's rock and now this? For all she knew that bone could have belonged to one of her pack.
Her father's, mother's or even StormHeart's. It pained her to think about it. And she very well knew that the Demon pack followed no tradition or rule. That they were power crazed lunatics. If that was so, then why be in a place that's very foundation is based on tradition and rule?
It made no sense. It made her angry.

Nokida store at Aisu her eyes narrowing "you may be an alpha...but you shall not speak to your elders that way" she snarrled back her appearance changing only for a second as she store at the younger wolf she stood slowly her eyes still narrowed at Aisu jumping from the rock so she landed Directly infront of her "if we meet outside these sacred ground...and you speak like that again...I will NOT hesitate to rip you a new muzzle.....you hear me Pup?" she snarrled her fur bristling as she turned and walked towards the shadows of the trees not even bothering to apologize as her tail hit aisu in the face.
seeign as she had started to take on her alpha fourm she sat in the shadows with a dark look on her face a glowing blue aura shinning around her "where is Shadow....if he doesnt get here quick I'ma freakin snap" she snarrled to herself and she lay down again.

Freya heard the commotion of an alpha claiming the rock that Nokida has settled on as hers. She couldnt help but roll her eyes. In her mind, it was whoever got to the rock first that day claimed it, not some stupid thing about it being a tradition in family or rank. Ah tradition, the one thing that would be the first to go when she ruled the world. She thought for a moment. No, there still had to be tradition, she'd make new ones. She watched the young alpha turn her attention to her. So someone had noticed her dig the bone up. She had to laugh at this she wolf that growled the words to her about shame and sacredness. "No i have no shame, obviously you do though, pup, speaking to dear Nokida like that, she wont be the only one to harm you if i hear you adress her like that again. Even i do not speak to those i classify as friends like that," she replied. Sure Aisu was around the same ages as her, but Freya regarded her words and tone as childish, and therefore she was refered by the correct term. She couldnt help but smile as Nokida called her the same thing. "Your old traditions will soon fade away pup, they will move aside for new ones, better ones. If i were you i wouldnt hang onto the frayed threads of the old traditions like they were a lifeline. But guess i expected as much from a pup that hasnt seen the true world," she barked back, standing up in the process and moving out into the light. "Do you dare challange me?" she asked, "in this place that you cling onto because it holds your past, because it holds happy memories of the packs you once belonged to?" She didnt even wait for a reply before dragging the bone out to the light. "Are you afraid this bone is a family member or a friend that wasnt strong enough to survive?" she asked, "i think i shall find out." She turned her attention to the bone, yet she kept a mental awareness of every movement the she wolf made. She concentrated, it was harder to bring back those that had been dead for ages but that was only a small obstacle to overcome. She felt the earth shift as she found more and more bones surface. She smiled this was fun and she couldnt help but chuckle. After all bones had appeared, she concentrated on given the bones back the life, flesh and blood they once had. She felt the power of the wolf return, this indeed was a powerful wolf, one that hadnt shown its full potential, as if its power had been caged because of a pack, or for fear of being used. Dark fur could been seen as as soon as the wolf took its first breath, she invaded its mind, corrupting it and making it a valuable ally. "Turn around and tell us who you are," she barked an order once she withdrew from the mind of the wolf. The wolf obeyed and turned. Freya noted the scar over the left eye and wondered if she should heal that, but thought against it. "I'm Luna, Alpha of the Fire Clan, mistress of fire at your service," the wolf bowed down to her. She silently ordered her to stand straight before standing next to the wolf, watching Aisu for the reaction she hoped to get.
(mwahahaha Luna's back for now.)

Niko sighed as he moved towards the meeting grounds. Granted he'd forfieted going to the last one, but he tried to keep up with them every once in a while. One couldn't be to careful in his book.
He crossed the corner shaking his head at the bickering he could already hear making a comment, "Yes, but without respect for the past you can't move forward." He should have known Freya and Aisu would be at it. The two of them had that personality not to mention they were female.
He lifted his head from the ground looking at the two with one a wondering eye and that smirk still plastered on his face, "Of course some old fashion mating tactics could use revis-" He stopped shocked. A few weeks ago he'd been acquianted with the ghost of Featherstream's father and now this. The difference was he was sure he wasn't the only one seeing this and from the look on Freya's face the female was enjoying this.
Anger seized him and he moved further into the line of wolves snarling at Freya behind Luna. "What the hell have you done?" In life he and Luna had always crossed lines with one another and didn't seem to like each other, but truth be told they'd shared a lot. She knew his worries and he had been privilaged to know her concerns and weakness she felt in clan life. He'd even entrusted her with Cal's well being. A sort of mutual respect beneath the games and comments. Seeing her alive when she should have been in the ground peaceful with her ancestors rubbed him the wrong way. This was wrong.
The feeling was so strong that Niko forgot about his policy about clan affairs. "I'm not going to ask you again Freya, what the hell are you up to?" His hair stood on end from the electric currents present in the air stirred by his power.
(OOC-yes I see that. Not stealing thunder I swear-this is just wrong for Niko as a friend....but i'll back you up Aisu!)

Tyche watched unamused at the bickering. That was completely useless. Truth be told Freya was the only one making any sense. The female was exactly right. What did you need for truth, traditions or the past? That didn't change anything. If you wanted something you had to go out and get for yourself. Face the world and take it.
She watched mesmorized when Freya started to put the body back together. Medically she was intrigued, but on another level she was immensely impressed. The she-wolf was something else. Her eyes were finally taken away from the sight when she heard another voice. Normally she would have ignored it, but the scent was strong and exactly who she was looking for.
Standing she was almost ready to pounce Niko, but stopped. This wolves thought that she was his niece and would likely be his ally. It wouldn't be wise here. Instead she retreated towards the edge willing to watch the events unfold curious about his obvious anger and turmoil over the miricle that Freya had commited.

Like you could do anything to me, you're too old, I'm young and swift. She thought with a growl as Nokida snarled at her before retreating. Aisu listened to the words of the demon and with each her anger soared, hack raised she had enough mind to attack her there and then. As the bone gathered other limbs and tissue and blood, the youth looked on in horror. She noticed the scar and half thought with glee that it was her mother but then she realized it was someone more important. Luna. "L-Luna..." She whispered the name as if the ghost before her would vanish if she said it too loudly. She couldn't believe her eyes. How long had she dreamed of seeing her old pack again? Of taking of the old days with them and playing. It was enough to bring tears to her eyes. "Luna!" She yipped nearly bounding over toward her like the pup she was. But no, she reminded herself, this isn't Luna. Luna is dead. Father is dead. Mother is dead. Kage and StormHeart too. They're all gone... "You aren't my Alpha. You may be some kind of demon created from the precious bones of Luna. But you are not her." She growled crouching lowly her voice wasn't her own. Even Aisu could tell that someone else was speaking for her-the voice was warm and familiar. Mother? She thought shocked as she saw the ghostly form of the Beta of Fire. Was she seeing things now too? Minkota smiled at her daughter "Hello, Aisu. My, you've grown." She spoke softly nuzzling her even though the touch felt cold. The Beta's attention turned toward the two Alpha's and she raised her head high "Mistress, what are you doing? You know that your time has been set. You can't come back here-to the living world. Come with me." She spoke to Luna softly as if talking to a child who didn't quite understand. Aisu shook her head this couldn't be real. (( OOC: Minkota's back too! If only in Spirit. I'm not sure if this is legal considering Aisu doesn't have a power yet and Minktoa is a ghost. But I just felt like roleplaying the old girl. ...don't kill me! ))

Aiden saw Tyche come into the gathering and merely Snorted when she mentioned Niko as her uncle. It was not his business anyway. He looked over at Freya and Aisu, noticing an argument brewing. 'And at a peace gathering, no less,' He thought. He started over to calm it, then froze. The bones then began forming into an old and respected ally: Luna. As her mind formed, Aiden felt Freya's plunge into the mind And corrupt it. "NO!" He shot toward her, but skidded, horror in his eyes. The one person that had earned her right among the wolves of past had been resurrected and controlled by the one of great vile and hate. It made him fill with sadness and anger toward Freya. Standing next to Niko, who had begun buzzing with his power, he first gave Luna a look of sorrow, then shot a look of the hatred of a thousand suns at Freya. "YOU! How DARE you! You have NO right!" Aiden's fur was raised. It was one of the first times he had lost his cool, and it was not a pretty site. He snarled and growled at her, not believing that she actually went as far as desecrating a grave and sacred ground. Aiden Would have launched himself at her, except that a voice filled the air next to him and Niko. "Aiden!" He froze, and instead stood there.

Freya laughed, the cold evil sound resonating off everything that was in the gathering. Not only was the reaction from Aisu statisfying, but the other wolves reactions added to it. Yes she was a superior wolf compared to the others and she would take lives as well as bring them back. She didnt care for the dead, hell, she and her pack lived in a graveyard. Besides dead wolves couldnt help her, they were gone just spirits, there wasnt much that even the spirits could do against her. She watched Luna turn to the one that spoke to her like she was a demon. "Aisu, you dare accuse a friend of being a demon. If i were a demon my dear would i be able to remember everything about your family, from your father being the Thunder Alpha, your mother my beta and your siblings: StormHeart and Kage," the older wolf paused and Freya nodded for her to continue, "Aisu, its me Aisu, its really me, not a demon." Freya rolled her eyes at the older wolf, she could sure talk, but once she stopped she noticed a ghostly figure appear.Turning to the spirit, she heard it address Luna. It appeared that Luna was the alpha of this wolf.She wasnt about to let her new found subordinate disappear, where was the fun in that. She turned to Luna and sent a silent command, one to tell this spirit that she wasnt going anywhere. "Minkota, i have been granted a second chance. Second chances are rare among the spirits, i'm not about to let that go. I'm not returning, at least not just yet, and dont you ever dare speak to me like a child," Luna fell silent, wondering if Freya wanted her to say anything. The red and yellow wolf turned back to the spirit. "I could grant you the same thing wolf, if you so desired," she offered, of course there was a hidden catch. She'd turn the mind of this wolf to work for her if she accepted, if she was smart enough to accept, then she'd really rub it into Aisu, the pathetic excuse for an alpha. She turned to the other wolves and sent a growl, a warning to stay away if they valued their lives at the moment.

(OOC: Btw, It's fine, Niko. Yours is Lightning, so it stands to reason his pelt would crackle with lightning. Mine is bolt, which is supposed to be a stronger form of flame. =^_^=)
Iceflame's pelt buzzed, but this time not in excitement. "No..." She saw Freya bring back the once dead and most honored wolf ever to walk these grounds. She froze, feeling both giddy and horrified at the same time. Luna was back? Luna! But... Freya brought her back! That couldn't mean anything good.... "L-Luna? She hesitantly walked forward, her pelt buzzing to the point of flaming up, making her look like her clone except for her eyes.
Iceflame shivered. The air was not right here. Coming to her senses, she spoke to The Demon Alpha. "Freya, I must ask, Alpha to Apha, that you not cause more trouble here. We do not want what happened last time to partake once more. Please stop this foolishness, especially now, when it is a time for peace." She knew this may cause yet more trouble, but she had no wish at the same time to have fighting here. If she was attacked, she was not sure if she would go on instinct or not fight at all, due to the circumstances.

nokida looked on watching the supossidly horrifying scene with bored eyes. she had lived longer then alot of the wolves here today, and she had learned much about the world around her and the diffrent types of power.
with a nod she stood "should you not all be glad to see one of the most powerfull alphas of our time come back to life? even if it be just for awhile?" she asked her eyes narrowed as she looked at luna comign out of the shadows and showing off her new fourm to every one in the grounds.
