Congrats to all!! 12/29-30/11 (p1)

[Kivak Atradico]

Congrats to all! This was a great meeting and we will continue tomorrow!

Azamakaios - Alpha Female
Kazmarez - Alpha Male
Timur - Beta Male
Hototo/Dakota - Mated Pair
Dakota - Sco*

*(the "ut" will be added on monday XD)

A wonderful ceremony concluding the alphaship of Kivak and Hinaezuu as well as the betaship of Chande in exchange for their heirs, Kazmarez, Azamakaios, and Timur. We also got to see a great mateship for Hototo and Dakota and half of Dako's rank (which will be finished at a later time).

More to come from tomorrow's meeting!

03[20:37] * KIV|nfection padded back from the forest trotting abreast with his mate after talking a bit amongst themselves. Seeing that the rest of the pack was there and awake, he grinned and took a deep breath - it was time, finally time. With a gentle nosing to his mate he followed by woofling to Chande hoping that he would come over to join them for the cerimony that was to follow. He then tossed back his head 5Cut»» 6

03[20:37] * Kazmarez murred softly to Aza as she snugged into his side. He curled his tail gently around her and reached to nose her muzzle* "Hey you, you!" *he said with a griggle and smiled to her before perking his ears to the howl. It was time! Kaz suddenly got nervous and he reached over to Aza, nosing softly* "well... I guess this is it" *he said with a chuckle before rising to his paws, waiting for her to ...cut

04[20:44] * Hinaezuu ducked out of the trees more serene and well rested than she had in many months before now, nodding to her mate gently before joining in the call for the meeting, her eyes searching for the missing forms of Chandé and Timur, waiting for them to take their place where they should be at the center stage. This was going to be the last show for the high council before it was replaced with the 5Cut»»6

04[20:44] * Azamakaios grinned and rose to her paws, holding one out before Kazmarez and wiggling her nose. "Well, ladies first," she teased and shook her nose, wandering by his side to join them all at the head of the clearing.

03[20:46] * Shivver padded through the densely covered snowscaped territory. She was bewildered by the fact that in some places the snow barely covered her ebony paws, but only a few steps later she would have to plow through drifts thats mounted to her chest. Coming out of one such area, she shook the flurries of white from her dark pelt, eyes of pale silver scanned the area for signs of threats but
03[20:46] * Shivver she found none. Shaking once more she would set off again at a trot. She stopped and tested the wind for scents and flicked her dark ears forward as her paws took a slight shuffle backward. The heavy scent of wolves was on the air... she had not notice as she struggled through the snow but she had unwittingly crossed into anothers territory.... shifting her pale gaze from the world behidn
03[20:46] * Shivver her to the unknown that lay ahead she concidered her options.... Finally she figured it would be better to make herself known as a friend then to be found out later and possibly hunted down as a tresspasser. Cautiously she continued forward, thankful for the dim light that kept her dark for shrouded in shadows.
03[20:48] * starcursed` fluffed and perked sitting where the meetings are usualy held. -- Gavrieal perked to the howl and looked about wondering if maybe papa and her brother were coming out for the day.she wiggled in anticipation-- stormryder` smiled and bowed to grandma hini and murred sitting next to her star and wiggling her fluffy white tail happily wondering what was going to happen tonight
03[20:48] * Chande moving into the pack clearing, he hadn't been there to howl for the pack but behind him Timur moved quietly at the flank of his father. Bi-coloured eyes settling on the Alpha pair as he moved into just do that, settle beside them. Breathing out quietly. Giving a chuffing greet to everyone as Timur moved to settle on the opposing side of his sister.
03[20:51] * Dakoda_ ([e-mail]) has joined #Earthensong
[20:51] <Chande> 5Crenaea moved to the edge of the clearing and took to settle beside her sleeping brother. He had grown quite large compared to her frame. Though she too wasn't far from their mother. Her dark body now sticking out against the snow; within summer this was a different story.

03[20:52] * Dakoda_ sid out of her den, a cold wind tugging at her fur. Shakily and tired she made her way to the center of the clearing to chat up with some of the wolves. After sleeping beside Hototo all night the coldness wa a big change.

03[21:00] * KIV|nfection smiled softly to his mate and breathed in with a gentle tailsway before turning to Chande and nuzzling his brother on arrival* "Hey Chan!" *he said with a smile and then looked at the audiance before them* "I am glad that all of you could be here today for this cerimony. As you know, this evening will be remembered for the legacy of the pack - our legacy. As many, if not all of you, know, 5Cut»» 6
09[21:00] <KIV|nfection> 5Cont»» 6 tonight will be the resignation of the current council, to that of the new, younger, and better looking one" *he said to add a little light tone to it with a smile before woofing to Kazmarez, Azamakaios, and Timur asking them to come forward as the alphas and beta would make a statement to this charge of duty, along with the pack* 5 6
03[21:00] * Kazmarez laughed softly to his court and paw'ed at her with a playful smirk* "goofball" *he muttered softly to her before slurping and then padded forward looking to his parents, settling down in front of them. He looked around and then to his side to hopefully see Aza next to him, this wouldn't be something he'd have to do alone... thankfully. XD
03[21:03] * KIV|nfection is now known as Kivak
03[21:03] * Kazmarez sets mode: +o Dakoda_
04[21:04] * Hinaezuu stood in silent agreement to her mate's words and bobbed her nose once he had finished, stepping forward to harken the pack to her for it was she that would begin with her speech for stepping down. One not so long rehearsed, but length nevertheless. Hopefully worth a lot more than it seemed at first though.
04[21:05] * Azamakaios smiled to her brother and her court, nested between them and smiled to Hinaezuu as she stepped forward, readying herself to listen for what she had to say.
[21:06] <starcursed`> Gavrieal== got to her paws and padded to her brother and sister floping on the two and watching the meeting with curious orange orbs.
03[21:06] * Dakoda_ sat herself down, her ears swivling to catch any soulnd of Hototo coming to the meeting. When she spotted Kaz she gave him a nod as it to say /you can do this...I know you can!/
03[21:07] * Hototo slithered up from behind his court and slumped at her side, grinning broadly. It had taken him a time to find her in the throng of those attending, but found her he had - quietly, of course. His muzzle probed into her scruff and he watched the proceedings with a silent reverence.
03[21:07] * Shivver watched the gathering from between the folds of some ancient twisted trees. There were quite a few wolves present and this both excited and terrified her. She listened as the one, who she could only assume was the leader as he annouced the resignation of his rank and the passing of the torch to a new generation. She flicked her ears, it took a strong leader to know when their time
03[21:07] * Shivver had come and gone. Already she felt a liking for this pack, or at least its alp... well former alphas. She was sure to stay hidden, not only out of caution but because she didnt want to be rude and interupt

04[21:15] * Hinaezuu drank in all the eyes before her, the faces swimming in the sea that was her family, and she breathed a little laugh before she began. "It is an odd thing standing here on a night such as this. Sometimes when you dream of seeing a handover to your children, those who are not even born yet, the dream day seems so far away that it is startling when finally it comes." This was not part of her 5Cut»»6
04[21:15] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 speech at all, just a little interjection of emotion she had not intended or prepared for. A new set took to her legs and she watched them all now with more resolute eyes, alpha eyes - the last time they would be so. "This pack, judging by the impressive standard set by some others and most certainly considering its own recent rebirth, is still relatively young. Yes, it is young, but even with 5Cut»»6
04[21:15] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 that youth we know that its foundations and more importantly the sentiments on which it was built lie far before its birth. They are so old in fact, that it is a sorry state of affairs outwith our home to find so many other wolves seem to have forgotten them. Some of you here may remember a time, before my own coming to these lands, when life was simpler and easier. Packs could exist 5Cut»»6
04[21:15] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 harmoniously to help one another, wolves were more concerned with filling their bellies and becoming drunk with laughter. Instead now we find uniform constructions preoccupied with iron rule, rounding up subordinates forced to cringe and cower from the coming 'wrath of the almighty alpha' should they slip a toe out of line. We are different from them first and foremost for we allow our family to 5Cut»»6
14[21:15] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 do one thing more natural than anything else in the world - to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes and some of them cannot be avoided. Never have we cast a wolf out for not waking often enough to meet our desire, never have we shunned a wolf for taking leave to seed a new family... and never have we turned them away if they have tried to come home. Kivak and I have been called weak for this, 5Cut»»6
04[21:15] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 more than once. But we will never accept weakness to be forgiveness, giving second chances well deserved and being what we believe an alpha should rightly be. True, shouldering this rank brings us much power and authority; but above all it gives us responsibility, to make us step back from the temptation to abuse that power; the responsibility to make sure we are bringing our family what they 5Cut»»6
04[21:15] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 need and want; to be approachable and kind to our members when life has dragged them down." As if pausing for a memory, she stopped for a short while and took a breath before addressing them all again... 5more »»6
04[21:16] * Hinaezuu smiled softly, "And although we as a pack still work to establish our more artistic identity, you know this is what we have always offered you. A home to our family, a shelter to every wolf that crosses our borders, a safe haven from the inevitable battleground outside of our territory. Never hear it denied, Earthensong is unique in every way. We have never been the largest pack, or the 5Cut»»6
04[21:16] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 strongest and we have never tried to be influencial either. But people become unsettled when others speak of us because they seem to fear the calm and the peace, the fact that we live for the sake of living - not to control, to make others' lives a misery. We care not for numbers and we care not for the business of other packs - this is hard to believe, given the climate of our world of late, 5Cut»»6
14[21:16] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 but it is true. Each and every one of you is what makes this pack what it is, the time and dedication that we are thankful for - even if you can only afford a little - makes you one of us. Knowing you wear that with pride is the only gift Kivak and I could ever ask for, to know that here at Earthensong you might feel you have made the right choice for your home, that you can say you are certain 5Cut»»6
04[21:16] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 where your family is. I know I can speak for my mate when I say that you have made our short years at the head of this pack the richest of our lives; and I have faith that as we shift the weight of rule onto our heirs that everything we have toiled so hard to preserve and protect over these years will carry on with our legacy. As the sun sets on our alphaship, a new moon rises with Kazmarez and 5Cut»»6
04[21:16] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 Azamakaios at the helm and I have the utmost excitement to see the family carried to new heights along with them." With that, she stepped back with her ears aperk as she beamed at the new life in all three heirs, waiting to renew the pack. 5more »»6

03[21:21] * Kivak smiled softly to Hina's words, agreeing with all of them the same. She had covered the moments of history and of definition of what the Earthensong was, is, and always will be. His part would be similar but to cover the future of the two alpha heirs that he and she were going to be yeilding their titles to. And so he would then step a paw forward to present his own speech of pride about and 5Cut»» 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> 5Cont»» 6 to the pack* "As Hinaezuu so perfectly stated, this pack has been the pride, joy, and dearest love for both of our lives. We are both so very proud of each and every one of you. It has been more than an honor to be your alphas, to have the trust, love, and respect from you as you have shown to us. To follow us even in the face of danger and death itself. A pair could never ask for a better pack. 5Cut»» 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> 5Cont»» 6 That is why, as before, now, and in the future, we will continue to devote our life to the pack's well-being and succession. Our devotion will never stray from you - our family. 5more »» 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> But, with that said, our ability to lead and protect the pack will ultimately be compromised due to an unfortunate reality – we are simply mortal. Faced with that sad fact, we chose two successors well over a year ago to lead in our stead even before it was truly beyond our ability to lead. We have trained them and imparted all of our knowledge to them – and they have thrived. This way the 5Cut»» 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> 5Cont»» 6 transition is anticipated to be smooth and in the best interests of the pack – every one of you. Not a selfish control where we held onto the pack with an iron paw until the very last breath. 5 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> Many of you know both of them – Azamakiaos and Kazmarez. But for those who may not, both of which were hand picked to be our successor – Kazmarez to be mine, and Azamakiaos to be Hinaezuu's. They were not picked for heroic acts, divine blood, or because they were born into royalty. They were picked by the longing of their hearts. Both of these heirs have a burning desire, a deep longing that 5Cut»» 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> 5Cont»» 6 goes into the very depths of their soul, to provide for, love, and protect you – their pack, their family. They have both been through trials, turmoil, hardship, and in both cases have survived multiple near-death experiences. I believe that they are here today because of that very purpose as we have spoken of – to lead this pack into a new era of leadership. 5 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> While our time, the time of Kivak and Hinaezuu, has now come to an end, a new era is just beginning. A brand new chapter of the Earthensong is being written and you are all an unmistakably important part of it. I know that I speak for Hinaezuu when I say that there is no place I would rather be than here, participating in this new chapter with you. We both have complete confidence and complete 5Cut»» 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> 5Cont»» 6 trust in these two heirs to make this chapter even greater than our own. And when we have since passed into the stars, I believe we will look down on the pack in wonder, amazement, and pride. Not just in Kazmarez and Azamakaios as alphas, but in every one of you as members, council, and family because we know that you will support them. 5 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> If there is but one thing you hear from me all evening, it is this: Today, on this beautiful day of transfer of power, Hinaezuu and I would like to call on you, members of the Earthensong pack, to join Hinaezuu and I – former alphas - in a new oath, an oath of devotion and dedication to our new alphas: Azamakaios and Kazmarez. An oath to trust their leadership as you have trusted ours; to 5Cut»» 6
09[21:21] <Kivak> 5Cont»» 6 support them as you have supported us; and to love them as you have loved us. For if we do that, we will stumble but never fall, we will bend but never break, our hearts will hurt but never be broken, our souls will ache but will never be lost - and the spirit of the Earthensong Pack... will... never... die...” 5 6

03[21:29] * Dakoda_ turned to head to see her court. "Hototo.." she whispered then she fell silent. The heir's speaches made a lump form in her throat, as she has knowen the pair before Kaz and Aza were born. It was hard to see them step down but inside, she knew Kaz and Aza would fill their place, to become great alpha's.

Soon Chande could let his mind rest with these duties and uphold others. Smiling softly to the pack around him, the stern wolf breathed out once again. His lungs showing his age these days. However, Chande still looked young. It was a lie though. He 5Cut»»6
[21:38] <Chande> 5Continue»»6 was descending with his alphas just the same; age was coming. "My adoptive mother and dear Aunt Canadil once told me I would be here one day.. When she stepped over me to glance down at my two summer'd self. She told me that she passed the Midnyte torch onto me that night. Unaware of the three pups life would eventually give her.

"I have once seen a son of mine take hold an Alphahood by another. But since then I have never given a pack something I love more then 5Cut»»6

But.. it is today as a Father I get to truly see a legend be passed down. By not another Alpha to my child.

[21:38] <Chande> 5Continue»»6 knowledge on how to be a leader.. But now he has something deep inside. How to be a pack's second-hand. A wolf to proceed with rules forgotten by his Alphas.

If one is to fall, Timur will have to learn to take the pack out of the darkness.." 5Cut»»6

"My mother is a leader", her eyes flicked to Timur as though she was asking silent permission for what she intended to say but no... this was what she needed to say and said it would be, "but the difference between my mother and I is that I am not a tyrant. I have never delighted in making people afraid 5Cut»»6
04[21:55] <Azamakaios> 5Cont»»6 of me, hurting people... It was my biggest fear that I should turn out as she once had, I feared that perhaps it might have been passed down to me, this illness... this sickness of the heart." A flash of Jahasemane - that was the sickness of the mind, Azamakaios, not the heart, forget it - and she blinked briskly, moving on. "It is lucky then for me that I have realised just in time that such a 5Cut»»6
04[21:55] <Azamakaios> 5Cont»»6 legacy can never be passed down. When I was welcomed into this pack..." she paused, considering different words, "when I was rescued into this pack, I had never believed I would be standing here. I can comfort myself with the knowledge though that I have done everything in my power to earn it and I will continue to do so with my family behind me. With your words at my ear and your voices in my 5Cut»»6
04[21:55] <Azamakaios> 5Cont»»6 heart, I know I will never go far wrong", she admitted to them all. It hadn't gone as awkward as she had thought it might, but still... she could only give a solid smile and sidle back in line, beside Hinaezuu. The old she-wolf nosed into her encouragingly as she did. 5more »»6

03[22:02] * Kivak smiled gently at the speeches of the council, touched by all of them in different ways. He wanted to stand up and howl in admiration for some, cry during others, and stand firm in confidence to others. He loved and respected all of them in the depths of his heart. And so he first faced them, directly in his gaze in answer to their call to action. “I know that we are but young wolves in the 5Cut»» 6

[22:23] <Chande> 5Timur moved to his father and nosed Chande calmly. Eyes trading sight for a moment, Looking behind him at everyone, and then to Aza for a moment. "I was stolen from my family, and thrusted into a world of hate. I lost my only sisters I've ever known and there.. I had no love, no one to cherish in my life besides brothers I knew would someday take uphold of Aza and I's 'mother'. For months I 5Cut»»6

04[22:30] * Hinaezuu knew there was still meetings to be conducted and that the current council, as it was, would finish them for this last meeting during their time at the lead of the pack. But there was something that seemed fitting, something right that called to her for the end of this ceremony. Slipping between two bodies close by her, she slumped down the small incline to join the rest of the wolves, their 5Cut»»6
04[22:30] <Hinaezuu> 5Cont»»6 family, facing the heirs. After waiting to see if her brother and her mate would do the same, only then would she speak. "It is to you to lead us now, in life and in song", she said quite simply, watching expectantly, blinking at Azamakaios. 5 6
04[22:31] * Azamakaios watched Hinaezuu move curiously, feeling all the more than eyes were on them when she began to speak and even more so as she finished. There was only a short but pregnant pause after her words had finished before she would issue a shrill cry, joining or to be joined by the two boys round about her. Calling in a new age.

09[22:48] <Kivak> (( gah, *poke Dako!* good timing ))
14[22:49] * Hototo watched as Dakoda rose, suddenly more aware of himself than he would like to be and he turned to blink at the others - he wasn't part of the pack here, but thankfully he had been around long enough for some people to know who he was so he wasn't as uncomfortable as he might have been.

03[23:01] * Hototo rose fluidly, he moved in a strange way - sometimes an unfortunate inheritance of his home and family, they were an odd bunch but no less good in their hearts for it, the proof of it was in his being here, in his mediating between the two lands to be with the one he loved. "Dakoda, from the moment you set foot in my lands, I had to protect you - not necessarily because I wanted to, but quite 5Cut»»6
[23:01] <Hototo> 5Cont»»6 literally - my family rules had bound me to protect you, after I saved you that day.

"I will remain by your side as long as you will have me, 5Cut»»6
[23:01] <Hototo> 5Cont»»6 and even beyond that should it ever come, if that is what it takes to keep you safe, and as happy as you deserve to be," he returned with a warm smile, eyes meeting hers as his tail swayed. 5more »»6

03[23:05] * Dakoda- grinned and nosed his cheek. "I love you Hototo...more than anything in this world could make me change my mind... (ooo chipmunk! *runs away from the ceremony XD)" Dakoda let out a deep churr before nuzzling his neck, her tai swaying gently behind her.
07[23:05] * Kovo is on IRC
03[23:05] * Kivak grinned to them and sighed softly as it was beautiful the bonds that they expressed. He could feel the bonds between them and it would be the cruelest of acts not to bonds them officially* "Dakota, Hototo, the bond of mateship is not one to be taken lightly. It is a bond forged in the sounds. A piece of you will remain inside the other for the remainer of your lives as that is what mateship 5Cut»» 6

03[23:06] * Kazmarez also lifted up his muzzle to howl for his pup-hood friend and her now mate. Happy for their beautiful new bond that had been forged. He hoped that it would never be bent or broken and all their years would be joyous
14[23:06] * Hototo nuzzled deeply into Dakoda's scruff, the harshness of his homelands always forgotten when he could sink into her warmth and the scent and sounds of Earthensong. He loved his family, but here he could get away, things were easier here, lighter - brighter. To Kivak's words, his head swung back and he let out a wondrously powerful howling!
