(17:50) * &Saigh nosed her snoozing mate, overjoyed at his return she had been reluctant to leave his side even for a moment unless she absolutly had to. But for now, she knew she had a meeting to attend to, and though he slept soundly she worried about leaving him, As if by doing so would make him disappear again. She took a deep breath, pressed her nose gently between his ears and exited the den, heading down to the hollow. Her tail swishing as she walked. There was a difference about her. Minute but overwhelming all at once. She seemed... happy again. There was a bounce in her step, a glow to her face and a glimmer in her chrome gaze that had not been there the past couple of months. She felt light hearted and playful, joyful even. And despite having to be away from Kaz's side for the moment, she was eager for the gathering, no matter how small, as she had been told many woul be unable to attend. Still, any tiem spent with her family was good time. She perched herself beside a large boulder and raised ehr chrome skull and sang out for the pack to gether in its traditional circle formation for the meeting to begin

(18:04) <@Ammorez> Ammorez was relaxing near her spot near the lake when she heard the familiar calling of the meeting howl. Which, came from her Alpha female's voice. Their Alpha Male had returned home finally! Safely. Well, as safety as one wolf in the confition he had been in could be. She had yet to see him, but she figured that he would much rather wanted all th

(18:04) * +Essa awoke to the sound of a howl. The howl rang it's voice musically across the packs territory representing the call to meet. Rising to her paws, the female padded out of the bush that hid her form. She would releasing a large yawn, and give her back a stretch which earned a few pops from the bones in return. And with that, she padded toward the area where she

(18:10) * &Kazmarez had been resting for the majority of the time since he had arrived back. His extended and unexpected stay had taken a lot of energy out of him and the fact that he was home allowed him to truly rest.

(18:28) * &Saigh spoke aloud, her voice eager as she did It is with great joy and pleasure that I announce that Kazmarez has returned!!! she said eagerly her tail wagging behind her with a force that would make one think that she had little to no control of it. As such, He will be reclaiming his position as Alpha male. He is safe and well and resting within our den. He also brings news of our little ones that were taken from us during the Ordeal. she said, her voice cracking a bit. Though this did bring her some measure of comfort the fact that she did not have them beside her still pained her. They have been taken by the humans but are alive and well. They have formed a pack of their own there and are living out their lives frutefully with Kazmarez's brother and other youngsters their age. So, while its a great tragedy that they will not be raised in the loving embrace of our family, they are indeed alive, and well. she said, hoping that it would, like her, put the others minds to ease about the whole thing. Kazmarez too is well, he has sustained an injury to his leg that has him down and out for the moment but he will return to full strength with some rest. she added not wanting them to fear for their alpha male. 
(18:31) * +Aeshma felt her tail propel with the that occupied the atmosphere. Thrilled at having the position of alpha male secured, she no longer worried about a breach in the pack's defenses. Despite his long absence, the ebony woman's reverence for the dappled male had never faltered. Scanning the clearing for the brute, she soon discovered that the male was catching up with his "beauty" rest. She chuckled at the thought.
(18:32) <+Aeshma> with the excitement*
(18:32) <+Aeshma> with the excitement*
(18:32) * +Essa sits herself down beside Rook when she arrives at the meeting spot. Although she had never met Kazmarez, or had even heard about the poor pups, she lowered her head with sadness. The poor pups were captured by humans, and one of the alphas was injured how horrible!
(18:32) * @Ammorez would perk towards her Alpha's voice about the pups creating their own pack with Kazmarez's brother. That was good. At least they were safe and out of harms way. But they weren't with their family... But maybe perhaps they will find them again. Though she was happy to hear that Kazmarez was in good health and resting..
(18:33) * Khal tilted his head. Humans? He had never heard of, or experienced, anything with the name. But Frost's words echoed in his head... the monsters that had stolen her siblings and cousins. We're those humans?  Regardless, he was happy to hear that Kazmarez was back... he had felt the hole his absence had left.
(18:34) * %Adalwolfa quivers with happiness that the Alpha male.had returned even though she was happy it disnt hid  the sadness the elder felt hearing the.pups would not return to the.pack. Adals mind was at ease though about their well being.
(18:35) * Agro had seated himself politely near the edge of the group. He'd heard nothing of these events, but he did believe they were as tragic as they sounded. Though he was glad no wolf was badly harmed. The brute nodded, his tail thumping the ground lightly with joy, happy for the members of the pack that they at least had their alpha male home.
(18:37) * &Saigh waited for the mutters of excitment and releif to quell within the pack before moving onto a much happier topic. Promotions!!! She smiled, looking out onto the pack Wolves may not enter our pack without completeing a time as assessments. At thsi time, I ask Aeshma, Rook and Essa to step forward. she said waiting a short moment so they may detatch from the circle of wolves and come to stand before the rest "You have all done ample time as assessments, and it is at this time that I ask if you have made a decision. Do you wish to make Kladd`atir your home or do you wish to part from us. she asked her tone relaxed and calm as if to prove no harm would come to them no matter their decision. And if you do choose to stay, Why? Why do you wish to make Kladd`atir your home and your family.
(18:40) * +Aeshma heaved herself upright, her breath catching deep within her throat. A roll of her shoulder indicated her embarassment at having been summoned and wondered how odd she must look with her gawking countenance. Twisting her protracting tassel behind her rump, she stepped forward.
(18:42) * +Essa perked curiously when her name was called, and she was asked to step forward. She was nervous, but she felt as it this was a wonderful place for her to be and something her father wanted from her. "I would absolutely love to make Kladdatir my home, and I would like to stay because I have met so many wonderful wolves, and at first I wasn't sure about joining
(18:42) <+Essa> a pack, but before my father died, he encouraged me to do so, so I did. And I will never regret the wonderful decision I made to do so." Essa finished with a sigh, and lowered her head happily. She was happy here, and had no plans to ever leave.
(18:42) * +Rook allowed his tassle brush against Essa as she neared, to suffice as a greeting as most of his attention lies on the circle- attention quickly grabbed by the reigning female as she summoned himself and his fellow assessments forward. After only a moment's glance to each side did he rise and lumber forward into her gaze.
(18:43) * &Saigh nodded kindly to Essa, her tail swaying as she looked to Rook and Aeshma, awaiting their reasons for joining.

(18:49) * +Rook shuffled his creamy paws beneath him, looking on the proceedings with curiousity and hesitation. These weren't his customs, but it looked as if he'd have to learn fast. Luckily they seemed mostly straightforward. "As would I cherish this honor. The family you've grown here is truly one any wolf would be lucky to stumble upon, much less be given the chance to be a part of." He explained 
(18:49) * +Rook as thoughtfully as he could muster, dipping his head in respect.
(18:50) * &Saigh kindly smiles to Rook, pleased by his responce ans turns her gaze onto Aeshma's ebony form And what reason do you have for wishing to join our Packfamily? she asked, not unkindly but mearly seeming curious.
(18:52) * +Aeshma lifted her head some, baiting Saigh's curiosity. "Merely because I've trashed my desire for being alone and wish to serve this family as I've served my own, with loyalty, respect, and impartiality."
(18:55) * &Saigh nodded, pleased by her responce. She let her gaze wash over each of the wolves and nodded "I welcome each of you, Aeshma, Essa and Rook, as Packmembers of Kladd`atir. Now, a new test will begin. I ask now that each of you seek out a career rank of your choosing, in whichever way your skills will serve the pack. At the next meeting, you will be asked which ranks you choose and will begin your training as such. Congradulations. she said, pride evidant in her tone as she tilted back her head and sang for the newest members of the pack!!!

I would like to now summon any who wish to begin an assessment with Kladd`atir. she said, waiting patiently to see if any might step forward.

(19:03) * Agro lowered his head, a rather pleasant expression on his face. His eyes found that of the alpha again and he waited patiently as she spoke again. He blinked, glancing around at the other wolves for a brief moment. Then it dawned on him. Oh. Wait. Springing to his paws, the male quickly scrambled forward and planted himself down, sitting at attention. Yep, that was him.
(19:04) * Ghost would, at Saigh's call for any other woofers to come forward. Pads out of the darkness of the forest into the clearing. The big black male would chuff greetings at any left at the meeting. Sniffs any 'newcomers' he didn't recognize, sitting down on his haunches a respectful distance from the alpha female. Bright golds studying her, then the others at the meeting, baring his teeth in

(19:07) * &Saigh set her gaze upon a duo of males and smiled kindly. Welcome. she said, simply and foremost. Her tail swishing about as she spoke on. We appreciate your interest in Kladd, though we must caution you that membership is not granted unless it is earned. First, you must serve a time as assessment. During this time you will be given the chance to get to know us, as we get to know you. It will be a time of learning and growth within the pack. Assessment length depends entirely on you. It can be haulted and you can be removed at any time teh council sees fit. THough, should you pass it you may be granted a chance to join our family officially. If at any time you wish to withdraw from assessment, you may. she said, reciting the terms of assessment. Do you agree to these terms?

(19:13) * Agro 's head turned to the one other male that had joined him up front and he tipped his head to the brute he sadly had not had the pleasure of meeting. Attention snapping back to the alpha, he listened to her intently, mulling over her words in his head, and for a second he wondered if his brother was here...huh. Couldn't look now. The male paused after she'd finished explaining and after 
(19:13) * Agro a moment, he nodded, assuring her he understood. "I does, indeed."
(19:15) * Ghost chuffs in amusement at the other male wolf. Turning back to the female, he nods his head emphatically Yes Ma'am. I do agree to these terms. I am tired of roaming. Getting chased out of territory after territory because I am a male. He would growl softly in remembrance, then goes quiet and sits up straight and tall. Trying to be the 'adult' wolf, even though he was only a yearling. 
(19:15) * Ghost His wording made him seem older, or maybe just a bit more mature than those of his own age elsewhere.
(19:17) * &Saigh nodded to each brute in turn as they spoke. Then rogues no more you will be. Tonight, you entere Assessment here in Kladd`atir and we wish you the very best during this time. she said, a smile etched across her muzzle as she turned her head upward, howling loud for those who were beginning their journey with the pack.
