As the sun waned from its midpoint high in the sky, Alcide held firm, awaiting the arrival of the pack – family and otherwise. Dutifully, Swallowbane was the first to arrive. Well aware of the strained relationship (if it could even be deemed a relationship) that existed between himself as his third born son, Alcide greeted the ebony fringed young man with steel reserve. Swallowbane’s own indifference was met with a simple nod of the alpha male’s head. Before he could answer the lad’s apathetic questioning for the gathering, however, Ceal came diving into the scene. Her arrival caused a smile to splash across the stoic brute’s features. One could not avoid the infectious happiness that Ceal carried with her everywhere she went. Taking her into their den had been the best decision Moonglow could have possibly made. Her paw tapped against his foreleg and he lifted his paw off the ground and placed it delicately on her bright white chest, hardly letting any of the weight of it press into her. Although at heart he would love to engage in further play with his daughter, movement in the corner of his vision distracted him from such endeavors. Smiling down at her a moment longer he playfully used his heavy paw to pull her weight towards him before lifting the paw from her chest and setting it back on the ground. He winked at her and then glanced up at the group that was beginning to assemble before them. Camelot and Laila sat together as other wolves began to approach as well. His tail was curled over his back, slightly stiff but wagging all the same from the excitement of a pack gathering. It was high time the wolves of Spirane enjoyed one another’s company and even stoic Alcide felt and displayed in the exhilaration. But his wagging tail went completely stiff as he was suddenly surprised by the arrival of a small shewolf who proclaimed to him that it was he who had called this meeting. She seemed very enthralled with the situation and before Alcide even had time to react she had moved on to greeting the rest of the pack. He kept a half wary eye on her, more or less so that he would not be startled if she rushed back to him. When a white wolfess zealously greeted Swallowbane, a feeling of loss welled in his chest. He hated being apart from Moonglow, and seeing other couples reminded him daily of the agonizing separation they were currently experiencing. But it was not a new feeling – so many times throughout their union they had been separated by unexpected circumstances. They had a love that could stand the tests of time – even the sky falling. When the ivory lass looked to him in an apologetic manner Alcide simply nodded his head to her in greeting. “There is no need for apologies,” he simply stated to her – after all, she was not the last to arrive. A few pups gathered on the fringes of the group, and then Sleekwing arrived, greeting his family in turn before mingling with the congregation. Last to arrive was the princess herself, the first daughter of Spirane, the first hope of Moladion. Dany was so very special, and Alcide smiled at her as she realized what was going on and tried to act astute and businesslike. Even so, she was but a pup, and her playful nature made her all the more lovable. Lowering his broad crown, he gently licked her forehead – to which she responded with disgust and embarrassment. Lifting his head once more, he watched the gathering for a moment longer before addressing them. “Greetings,” his voice boomed, calm and smooth. “For those of you who I have not had the opportunity to meet one on one, I am Alcide – mate of MoonGlow and second in command of Spirane.” His eyes roamed across the small group as he spoke, hoping to keep his speech short so that the pack could mingle and get to know one another better. “Our numbers may be small, but Spirane is a mighty pack. Even so, it is the duty of each and every one of you to ensure our pack’s future. I would request it of you all to be on the lookout for potential new members to strengthen Spirane’s ranks. And in saying that, there are many open high positions within the pack. Any wolf who would seek to rise to the challenge should come to me and request a task to prove your worth.” He paused, the words having come forth with far more ease than he had expected. These types of things were much more MoonGlow’s forte, he was more brute strength than a spoken leader. Glancing around the group he then said, “With winter’s arrival at our backs I will be organizing a hunt in the near future. I anyone capable, and not with child, should join me. The pups may also come along and observe as well.” And then with a simple nod of his head and wag of his tail he concluded his ‘speech.’ He shifted slightly and then sat down, waiting to see if any wolf would approach him and request a task or volunteer for the hunt that was to come.  |
