Peace Gathering....okay....

[blackautumn15]

Caliban walked into the area sanctified for the so call peace gatherings. He was the first there but that was fine; he could think about how to go about this. Freya was to be there soon he hoped but she was alpha and therefore busy. That was why he made a point to be here. It was his job as beta to take care of things that the alpha didn't want to or couldn't get to.

He sat down and sniffed around, checking out everything before he settled in to wait on the other packs to arrive.

[okamiimaru]

This would be his first Peace Gathering. He was told previous by Griz where it was and what the probable time that it would be held next and from that point, he prepared himself. Okamiimaru hasn't met too many of the others and from what he knew from what others have told him, between the three packs, everyone was scrambling to find leaders, fighters, scouters and in general those to be part of their packs as they shared a similar problem: scarcity within the pack. This made him feel a little bit better, however, not much. His stomach clenched with anxiety and nervousness as he made his way to the common ground.

Finding that the Earth itself changed and the atmosphere become different, he knew he was within the limits. He had chosen the mode of flying for his transportation, knowing he would arrive swiftly and most likely before anyone else within his pack. Almost instinctively he thought it was his responsibility to make it there first out of everyone else as the Beta. He was the middle ground between the warriors/hunters and the Alpha. He just hoped his mate were to arrive quickly after him as she was also a crucial part to these Peace Gatherings, being the Peacekeeper.


Coming upon a dark figure, Oki began his decent and finally landed several meters away from the stranger. Folding his wings upon his back and fluttering them until he was comfortable. Making his way over, he still kept himself at a distance, sitting and claiming his spot for the meeting. Looking the other over, he kept himself calm, collected but with his back straight and head level. Tails wrapping around his thigh, Okamiimaru finally spoke, "Okamiimaru of the Galaxy; Beta.", he introduced himself, "I take it you're of the Demon?" Oki had guessed, scenting the air from before, recognizing the smell from a previous experience.

[aisu]

Aisu walked toward the sacred grounds for the Peace Gathering even though it was a little past the full moon. All the while she was wondering why she was even bothering to go, it wasn't like she was part of a pack anymore-not even a measly position like Scout. But that had been her decision and even though a regrettable one she was learning to accept it. She half hoped to see Grizzly there but those hopes were dwindling as she got closer to the grounds. Walking into the clearing she only spotted two wolves, both not Alphas and a sense of deja vu came over her but she quickly shook it off and walked over toward her father's tree without much recognition toward the present wolves.

The silver she-wolf was a little taken aback to see Caliban the first among them yet mostly she was taken aback by his new scent. Demon? She wondered why he joined them of all packs half of her resented him for it, but he always did seem to long for one more than Niko did. "No more daring entrances? What, you get tired of nearly kissing random wolves?"[/color] Aisu smirked with flirtatious wit as she winked at him remembering a Gathering where Caliban finally showed up and bumped noses with her.

Her humor was shortly lived as she regarded the other wolf, she knew that he was from Galaxy and it took everything to keep her hack from rising in threat. Why was she so upset over them? Over Grizzly taking the Alpha position? It wasn't as if she would take the position back anytime soon, or as if she wanted it. Alpha meant responsibility but it also meant Pack something that Aisu admitted she missed. Although she knew why she resented her former pack, and Grizzly but she wouldn't admit it to anyone.

They rejected her and Grizzly was gone for most of the time that Aisu was Alpha, she couldn't be sure that he would stick around for the pack...or for her. Sighing she turned her head from the two males and scowled bitterly. "So, what took you so long?" A voice came from the branches above her and Aisu grinned when she recognized the voice.

"Ama!" she yipped as the Orange Tanager fluttered to land on the bridge of her nose and she stared at him cross-eyed giggling like a pup again. "You're alive! I was sure you were dead when that owl got you."
"Nah, it takes more than that to ruffle my feathers. I thought you were pregna-" the bird was cut off with a sharp growl from his friend and he shrunk into his wings uncertainly with a nervous laugh.

[ebony]

Ebony slowly followed the trail made by her Beta from the Demon Territory into the Gathering Grounds. This would be her first Peace Gathering and she was a little uneasy about encountering the new wolves. She hadn't travelled very far outside of their territory since joining and the thought of more strangers terrified her.

But, she also felt that it was her duty to make sure things were safe for Freya. Inwardly, Ebony scolded herself for entertaining the thought that her Alpha could be harmed by anyone, but was brought back to reality when she caught the scent of new wolves. Silently, she cleared a thicket and observed as only a few wolves had gathered in the area.

She didn't pay much attention to the lone female, at first, since the male approaching her Beta seemed rather hostile. She knew it wasn't her place to intrude on her superior's affairs, but she couldn't help moving closer out of concern. It was only after the female near the tree remarked about his former conduct that Ebony showed any sign of life. She was beginning to see that wolves in this area were quite open with their comments and couldn't help the blush that spread acroos her face.

[niko012]

Bram was sure of his path, but he wasn't sure of his choice. Being back in a territory so divided by lone wolves and pack members he knew and understood his fathers wisdom in attending this event during a full moon. He simply regretted that Niko had never taken him to one and that his first meeting would be on his own. The lone wolf closed his eyes on the trail and thought back trying to remember wolves and faces of his childhood. Shadow popped up in his mind and another wolf from that cave when he and Lal....

Giving up Bram shook his head. Other than the loner with his sister and his sister-Bram knew no one else. Feeling tense the young wolf counted to ten in his head and breathed in deep to relax. He could almost hear his father's warning now about the power he possessed. "But I'm getting better," Bram chided himself and stood straighter. He just knew he could pull a Peace Gathering off without hurting anyone. That didn't stop him from hoping that his twin would show up just in case.

Coming into the gathering Bram caught the scent of the two females first. He was a young wolf and a male so their scent just seemed more potent. Swallowing Bram ignored it and focused on the other smells coming from the two males. One was a dark wolf and the other was winged reminding him of his mother. Keeping his tail low and his gaze down Bram found a spot at the edge of the clearing. He knew that when Niko was alive it was okay for any wolves to come to the meetings, but this was a new time. He figured fading into the background wouldn't be a bad idea.

Staring at the other wolves his mind began to wonder when something would actually happen and if any of them had known his parents. Surely some of them had because a couple of the wolves looked aged enough adults. At least one of the females talking to a bird (Bram paused in his thinking because that was so odd) and perhaps the black wolf as well?

[blackdiamond012]

Kai finished his rounds circling the Peace Gathering and watching the wolves began to show up. Two of the demon pack were already there and Kai couldn't help licking his lips at the chance of jumping the other packs Beta. Three against one would have been wonderful odds, but seeing the two loners he decided against it. Some things were just better left for another time. Besides, Kai didn't think that Ebony would be up to a fight. The female was to soft and needed to be cut from the pack in Kai's mind, but then again he hadn't seen her in action yet. It was something he was looking forward to seeing one day-either he would be surprised or she would die. The ideas were entertaining.

Coming in behind the young Lone male Kai walked past him and straight towards Caliban. He wouldn't be demeaned by sitting with Loners or away from the head of his pack. Even if Freya wasn't here yet. Settling down beside Caliban without even an acknowledgement of their rank difference or the wolf himself Kai waited.

[grizzly]

Grizzly looked down on the Gathering for a time watching as the wolves trinkled in slowly. He was positioned on a slight raise above the meeting and grinned inwardly when the newer males began to size each other up. It brought back memories from his puppyhood when his Uncle Arcanine would bicker with Niko and his own experience as Beta of Galaxy Pack. The fact that these members still had fight left in them made him have hope for the future.

However, his musings were put on hold when he saw Aisu enter the area which caused that all-familiar pain to reemerge in his chest. Grizzly actually thought about turning back towards the Galaxy Territory, but he knew he was responsible for representing the pack now. Thus, he took a deep breath and began to descend the slope with his back straight and his face stern.

He let the other two males enter before him in an attempt to prolong the inevitable, but finally cleared the bushes. He set his course directly towards his Beta who was facing a growing number of Demon Pack wolves. On his way over, he stopped in front of his former mate and looked her square in the eyes. "Aisu..." Otherwise lost for words, Grizzly let his gaze drift and he continued on to the side of his Beta whom he greeted his a simple nod.

[blackautumn15]

Caliban watched the new arrival, a strange winged wolf, enter the clearing. He sniffed, scenting Galaxy before the wolf spoke. He smiled dangerously as his eyes switched colors. Flickering between shades, he inclined his head once in acknowledgement to Okamiimaru. "Yes. Caliban, Demon Pack Beta." was all he said in response. His ears twitched as another shortly followed the other beta in.

Caliban's eyes widened slightly as Aisu came in and spoke. Her greeting startled him as he had forgotten the incident until now. He smirked at her, his fangs glinting in the moonlight as answered her in the same matter, "Why, did you like what you got and want more, Aisu?" His tongue lolled out languidly as his eyes gleamed and flickered once more. He knew that these other wolves would be wondering what it was that made his eyes do such and what it meant but that was all part of the fun. Keep them guessing.

Chuckling under his breath and not giving these two wolves a second glance, he smelled Ebony enter the clearing. He had been wondering if the omega wolf would show. Guess she decided to afterall. He was surprised and proud that the shy one did. Soon after, another wolf came in that he didn't know; however the young male was so familiar to him. He shrugged, growling as Kai came in and sat beside Caliban as if he was not of lower rank. He would have to deal with that later, apparently. He thought of what Freya would think of the fight that was soon to follow. It didn't matter, he was higher ranked than Kai.

Caliban waited and watched as yet another familiar wolf, Grizzly, came into the clearing and watched as the drama unfolded between him and his ex-mate, Aisu. 'Hmmm....this could be used to the pack's advantage. Aisu was a loner now and hurt from being taken from cammand...maybe he could persuade her to join Demon Ranks. As a warrioress or maybe Peacekeeper....He smiled devilishly as he thought about it.This would be a good meeting it seemed.

[okamiimaru]

Giving a curt nod to his new acquaintance, Caliban, he had kept his introduction at that and nothing more. Remaining silent, eyes focused as he saw the males iris flicker in color and shift between shades. Almost instantly, it reminded him of someone in his past; someone he wasn't too fond of. Scoffing within his mind, his face shown nothing of his observation nor his momentary disgust. The winged male knew no one here besides his pack-kin, only some even. Still yet to introduce himself to everyone, he felt the odd wolf out in this meeting, new to everyone and everything and their customs.

He was nervous, yes, but he tried his best to keep that masked. It was rare to see Oki stoic, more often than not appearing joyous, comedic and friendly. Allowing himself to reside in more neutral emotions, it gave room for him to focus on the situation at hand and preparing for every outcome that he could think of. His tongue rubbed against the roof of his mouth as Oki waited for others to arrive, bored. Finally and actually not too long after he had arrived, another appeared. Only eyes moving, the other looked female and carried herself as if she was passing through and not really attending the current meeting. He couldn't see her clearly though as opposed to looking straight at her. Not paying much more attention, though when the bird entered, it struck more curiosity with Oki. Quickly dismissing her however, when he looked back at Caliban, another female had placed herself next to him. She appeared very passive and even submissive; he wondered why.

"My, my...things are becoming at least a little interesting...", Oki mused to himself as two more males showed up. One wandered into the clearing like the female with the bird did while the second one placed himself beside Caliban. A brow quirked upwards then settled just as quickly; who was he? A little unsettled by the fact he was the only Galaxy present, his tails twitched and switched from his left thigh to curl around his right thigh. In mid swallow, a rustling came from behind him. Turning his head around, he was relieved to a degree to find his Alpha. Keeping his head turned, he waited until he got closer so he could greet him, though Grizzly stopped at the wandering female. A little confused, he wondered what their connection was. Once Grizz sat to his side, he gave a reply with a nod himself with a quiet, "Ay-up Grizz." He found it out of place to ask now. Eyes slowly moved away, he awaited for the rest to arrive.

[/blockquote][/size]

[niko012]

Bram was getting anxious. He could smell a similar scent amongst different wolves. He assumed it was the scent of packs and the lone female-Aisu was the only one without a familiar scent about her. He assumed she was a loner like he was, but that didn't stop him from feeling out of place. The other wolves introduced themselves to one another and the names Bram could catch he did. The grass underneath him tilted slightly and started to gray alarming the young wolf.

He was anxious because nothing was happening and he felt as if something should. Getting up he walked a little closer to 'Grizz' and 'Aisu' who seemed to be rather appealing. They looked nice enough along with their companion who must have been in Grizz's pack because they shared a similar scent. The other wolves just made his anxiety worse.

"Excuse me," Bram kept his head and tail down addressing Grizz, his pack member, and Aisu. "I'm new to the area. Could you tell me just how many wolves we are waiting for or if the Peace Gathering is going to start soon? As a wondering loner I was hoping to make this a permanent home and find out about the other wolves within the territory."

[aisu]

Aisu watched as more wolves came in and sighed there were still so few of them. She noticed a male of the Demon pack wander in who seemed to have an evil eye on Caliban and she had half the mind to interfere but decided against it. It wasn't a loner's place to belong in pack affairs. Oh for Moon's sake I'm starting to sound like Niko![/color] the female thought with bitter humor wondering why the old loner hadn't shown yet, then again she hadn't seen him since the last Gathering and that had been years ago. She assumed the white wolf was dead and her ears tucked back sadly until she heard Caliban's remark and her mouth opened to reveal a toothy grin.

"Of course, no one here seemed to perk my interests as much as you do." she replied with a joking gaze until she saw her former mate enter and she suddenly had the wicked intention of making him jealous but decided against it. As he walked closer to her Aisu felt more uncomfortable and irritated wondering what he wanted but when Grizzly said her name her heart flipped yet she still had the irritable urge to bite his face off.

"What?" she kept her voice cold as she gazed down at Amadeus, the bird was curled up into her large paws half asleep from waiting. When she didn't receive an answer Aisu looked up and watched Grizzly walk over toward his Beta, she snorted annoyed that he couldn't finish what he wanted to say. "You call yourself an Alpha?" she snarled toward him glaring before turning herself to look away from them.

She was about to leave, tired of no one showing themselves and everyone staying quiet until a young wolf walked over towards them. Aisu raised an eyebrow and tilted her head curious of him, he seemed familiar and his scent was of loner. "You're Niko's kid aren't you?" she smiled warmly at him and remembered when Niko and Featherstream told her that they were expecting, she never got to see those pups.

"The Gathering should have started awhile ago," she stated pausing to turn a cruel eye toward Grizzly. He should have known that as the only Alpha present he had the right to start, after all he was the one who told her to open the Gathering when she first took the position as Alpha. "How many wolves that decide to show depends on how many want to show. The pack wolves should have been present by now, especially the Alphas." Aisu addressed the matter in a taunt growl still feeling protective of the traditions her mother taught her even though no one in the land cared about such things anymore.

[grizzly]

Grizzly acknowlegded the greeting his Beta gave him with another short nod. "Greetings to you, as well, Oki." Though he did not turn his head, he caught the insult thrown at him by his former mate. It was met by a passive and nonattentive demenor, but not out of bitterness for the comment. Grizzly had long since blamed himself for being too weak to hold off the Demon Pack attack which caused his disappearance and drove Aisu towards the edge. Thus, he had resolved to take any abuse she meant for him as a means of comforting her in some way.

After letting the comment slide, Grizzly watched as the loner male made his presence known and asked about the events that would follow the Gathering. He allowed a soft smile to cross his lips as a way to relax the younger wolf, who seemed tense given his rank. However, before he could explain the situation, Aisu's voice broke in again and began describing it for him. By this time the smile had left Grizzly's face and was replaced by the passive look, but he allowed her to finish for the benefit of the loner male.

He also caught her hint about starting the Gathering which brought back the memory of their first Gathering as Alpha and Beta. But, Grizzly soon shook off the nostalgia and began addressing the lone wolf with extra details. "As she says, there really is no standard attendence set to begin a Gathering. I suppose you could think of it as a courtesy that we've waited this long for members to arrive. It is the first Peace Gathering, after all." Letting his gaze drift across the surrounding members, he straightened a little while deciding to begin. "Though I do not see anyone here to represent Crystal Pack, I believe it would be good to start. I propose each of the highest ranking pack members give a brief summary of their pack's condition. The loners may speak for themselves. I'll begin with Galaxy Pack: We have seen a slight rise in membership, but rarely encounter one another in the territory. Our lands have suffered some damade due to landslides, but trails are still open and game is fair. I would say our standing is quite neutral, at this time."

[ryleigh]

Ryleigh knew of the peace gathering that had been called. She was slightly reluctant to go but she was the peacekeeper and she would obey her pack. Ryleigh padded softly around the clearing. Ryleigh started to count the numbers in her head. She saw both her Mate and their alpha present. Ry also noticed three from the Demon pack. This made Ryleigh smirk slightly, she would even up the odds at least. Lastly, Ryleigh noticed a few of the loners were here. It was a good mix of wolves, if anything. Ryleigh noticed the males sizing up her mate. This made her very uncomfortable. She was not okay with this. Ryleigh made her way into the clearing. She first made her way to the alpha. She sat in front of Grizzly and bowed her head with her ears back. "Hello Grizzly. Sorry for my late arrival."

Ryleigh then made her way over to her mate who stood at the alpha's side. "Oki" She whispered softly. She ran her nose along his neck briefly before taking her own seat next to him. She flopped her tail over his and curled the tip around his. Ryleigh then turned her attention to the others there. She made eye contact with the others, one at a time, before letting her eyes land on Kai. Ry wasn't looking for a fight but she wasn't going to let the males push her around simply because she was female. She kept eye contact with Kai and raised the lips of her muzzle a little, showing him her sharp teeth and slanting her eyes slightly. She wanted Kai to know she had seen him sizing her mate and she was not okay with that. When she felt her message had been sent, she then drew her eyes to Grizzly, waiting to see what was to happen next.

[frey]

It has been a while since the last peace gathering and the first one with him representing the peace aspect of it, not wanting anything to get out of hand and to keep everything mellow between the three packs. He would have a female counterpart to help him, however there was already little that made up their pack to begin with. Other roles needed filled before he would have a partner. Nonetheless, he was confident enough to hold responsibility of keeping mutual calmness throughout any meetings like this one or between foreigners that enter the Crystal pack lands. Frey was never the one for confrontations, but he does take his job seriously and knows whether the situation calls for violence or not.

Finally he would arrive at the peace gathering, seemingly a little late as a number of others have arrive. Along with smelling many individuals, he could hear a few voices. Most were quiet. Deciding to walk his way there, he wanted to save his strength and energy in case if anything were to happen. Making his way into the meeting area, he bypassed all the others and found his own corner, which then he figured would mark the spot for the rest of the Crystal...that is, if they were to come. He at least hoped that Cealy would make it as she needed to be here and needed to have a say on things. It wouldn't hurt to have the others present also, he thought to himself.

Settling in, he appeared to ignore everyone and everything, appearing a little stiff and stoic. Though that really wasn't true. Blinking, once there was silence between most of the others, he would then state, "Apologies for the lack of the Crystal's presence. I am Freygerðr and until my Alpha arrives, I shall speak for her since I see we've all begun the meeting; I'm sure she will add anything that is needed when she arrives...For the Crystal Pack we have a few new additions, however we too encounter one another fairly scarcely throughout the lands. Our lake has flooded some from the snowfall and rain in the past few months, however not much damage to the forest and land adjacent to it. Other than that, our standing as of current is fair." Frey gave a curt nod of his head to all as he finished. He felt that since one has already went and he had all their attention, he should keep it for what he needed to say so he could be done. Having nothing else to say, Frey settled back into his spot and prepared for what would seem like a drawn out meeting.
[/size]

[aisu]

He was ignoring her, obviously and it was beginning to toll way on her patience. A snarl crept way onto her lips when a female walked into the grounds one from the Galaxy pack and clearly a mate of Grizzly's Beta. What did she think she was doing, snarling at a Demon pack member with no reason? "Hey Pinky, I don't think that's too wise." she voiced with an indifferent tone Aisu had no business defending anyone but she wouldn't let the traditions of nonviolence during a Gathering die so easily.

"I would keep a tight leash on your puppet Grizzer, otherwise her pretty little head might get ripped off. Wouldn't want that now, would we?"

As she spoke her tone took on a slightly more sadistic twist and her lips curved upward into a mean smile. She listened with half an ear as Grizzly began to start the Gathering and explained how the pack land was doing, she was secretly happy that all was well with the land that used to be her home, but still resented him for taking her pack position.

Then another male came in from Crystal pack and he also explained how the lands were doing. Aisu snorted "Of course it's easy for you packlanders. You never had to scourge the land for game." she growled "Everything has been handed to you, even if the lands are a mess things have always been easy." her voice was rising as she continued to forget that she herself was once a packlander and that everything used to be handed to her.

Remembering the time when she first decided to become a loner and Niko trying to teach her how to hunt, a small smile found its way to her muzzle. She still could hardly catch anything the old fashion way yet she resisted the urge to use her power--except in dire means.

Figuring she should finish what she had started Aisu sat up and scowled at the pain in her back. Weak meals didn't provide her with enough nourishment and her bones were starting to show again. "As far as the lands go, I suppose it's the same as everyone else. Y'know...except for the lushness and game. Water has been plenty considering the melting snow yet very muddy but not too many landslides."

Why was she even telling them any of this? It wasn't like any of them could do anything about it, and it was awkward telling them about the loner lands when she was so used to explaining pack affairs.

[grizzly]

Grizzly turned his attention to a familiar scent that entered into the Gathering and recognized it as his Beta's mate, Ryleigh. He greeted her respectful bow with the same stiff nod he had given to her mate and watched as she went to settle herself next to him. Inwardly, he felt a little more relieved knowing that his numbers matched those of the Demon Pack wolves present and Freya was nowhere yet in sight. However, his peace was quickly dashed when he heard Ryleigh let out a growl towards the Demon Pack warrior across the way.

He listened as Aisu sent out a warning of her own towards his peacemaker and taunted him with a summary of the consequences. If she had expected an outburst from him, Grizzly would not give it to her because he instead rose to his full height and turned to face his peacemaker. He didn't growl or raise his spines, but he made his displeasure known by a piercing glare. "Ryleigh... We are here for peace and peace alone. Whatever quarrel you have with this male, you will have to deal with it on your own time." He felt satisfied with his warning and returned to his original position as the fist Crystal Pack wolf made his presence known in the Gathering.

Grizzly looked at the newcomer with a gentler gaze since he preferred the Crystal Pack over the Demon Pack and felt more secure when they were around. He listened intensely to the male's report on his pack lands. "I am glad to hear things are stable in the Crystal Pack Lands. I hope your Alpha manages to make it soon." His attention was once again drawn to his former mate as she gave her complaint and report on the Loner Lands and he noticed the pan she demonstrated. For the first time since entering the Gathering, he allowed the worry to reach his eyes, but he said nothing and soon looked back towards the Crystal Pack peacemaker.

[niko012]

"You knew my dad?" Bram asked Aisu although it was clear that she did. He relaxed and stretched up to full height. His tail flickered happily finding someone he thought was a friend. He could sense a power struggle between Aisu and a male as she talked about the Peace Gathering, but he knew better than to speak up.

Bram promptly just sat down as the older male started the Peace Gathering. It was nice to hear about the land as two more wolves came in. He blushed seeing the female come in because she was cute. He turned away as she sat by another male who must have been her mate and from the way she was staring down another wolf he had no idea why, but the male was demon and Bram didn't want anything to do with that.

Aisu spoke up about the lands and Bram frowned at how thin she looked. The lands were plentiful if you knew where to look. His ears went back in concern and he cocked his head to the side, but hearing Grizzly speak Bram didn't comment. Something about her, and it might have just been that she knew his father, made him want to help her.

[blackdiamond012]

If Kai had pissed Caliban off-he didn't care. The point of this damned meeting was lost to him as more wolves came and he found himself outnumbered. He knew that the cowards of his clan wouldn't cooperate with him on this endeavor, but it didn't matter. Freya hadn't ordered him yet and he would wait until she made her orders clear.

Kai watched the interaction between the other wolves, but he wasn't interested in their petty little problems. When the female came in he could feel her stare at him, a member of the Galaxy Pack apparently, but it was of no concern of his. He felt her stare and finally gave in looking as she reclaimed her mate. Smirking at the comment Aisu made Kai spoke in a rather nonchalant voice at the female showing off her teeth. "She's not worth my time," Kai commented looking away.

[blackautumn15]

"Demon lands are the same as anyones. And it seems that this meeting should be addressed by the high ranked wolves rather than anyone else or bloodshed is apparent. Aisu, you of all wolves should know how to hold your emotions at bay when on this sacred land. And the loner male beside you, who also seems to show concern, would do better if you set a better example. I know Niko would want him to stay out of harms way when he could." Caliban spoke up, taking the point of his pack and drawing attention to himself. He flicked his tail irritably at Kai but that was it. He would deal with kai later. Right now, he was trying to figure out how to try and persuade Aisu and the other loner, who was apparently Niko's son, to join Demon Ranks and prevent their inevitable deaths. He made eye contact with everyone. "Traditions may be old and out-dated but they are traditions nonetheless. This land is sacred and should therefore be violence free. If any of you have problems with each other, take outside of these lands. Do not shame your ancestors like this." he concluded.

[aisu]

Was he purposely trying to piss her off? Aisu wasn't quite sure if she should address her former mate or just get up and leave her eyes looked up to the sky and noticed the sliver of moon. She snorted the Gathering should have been over by now and she nudged the bird between her paws to wake up. Amadeus fluttered his eyes open and the female could have sworn he almost had a heart attack at the sight of more wolves.

He fluttered his wings and landed atop her head where he was safe from the others. "What's going on?" he asked into her large ear as he watched Grizzly reprehend a pack member of his. "Just some stupid puppy drama" she replied with a smirk, her mood was lighting some what with the bird for company. Aisu heard the voice of Niko's son and nodded to him "He was a good wolf, he tried to teach me how to hunt." she smiled remembering the time.

She glanced toward Grizzly and rolled her eyes at his passive way of telling his Peacemaker to shut up and sit down. But at least he was doing something about it, then Caliban decided to voice his opinions and her ears flattened out of shame when he reprehended her. Don't let that hypocrite tell you what to do.[/i] She heard the sharp voice inside her head and froze. No, not again. Aisu snarled and glared at Caliban.

How dare he tell her what to do? What did he know about Ancestors and since when did he even care about traditions anyway? "I was just stating my advice to that bitch so her pretty head wouldn't get ripped off." she voiced with a sharp smile "As tradition rules all present wolves may voice their opinions on matters, including land, battles, and mating rituals." Her eyes strayed toward Grizzly when she voiced the last of the matters until she stood up and glanced around to all the wolves.

Should she leave? The Gathering was half way over anyway by the way things were going and she couldn't stand being ignored by Grizzly any longer, let alone being reprehended by a Demon. Aisu just stood there with a scowl directed at the two males "And unless we're going to discuss any of the latter I would say that this Gathering is closed."
