It was time. The tents were made, the travois and quick release harnesses ready to carry their gear, and he had given the former pack time to adjust and say goodbye to the lands and the memories they would be leaving behind. As far as Eligos was concerned, those memories could stay in the past where they belonged - few of his memories of this land were pleasant, many painful. Others though, would be having more trouble. It was time though, and he would be doing no one any favors by staying here longer. Better to make a clean break.

Lifting his head he called out to call the band together to make last minute plans about where to move, and to assign places for their tents and make sure everyone understood what to expect moving forward.

meeting is mandatory for all band members. Please post by September 20

Deus had said his goodbyes to the lands he'd called home all his life. Every memory he'd made had been here, both the good ones and the terrible. He'd seen death here in Aureus' demise, and been blessed here and bore witness to a messenger from God. The losses he'd suffered could not come close to bringing him to hate his home, and still the Abraxas man was slow to wish to leave it behind. Eligos called them together and Deus knew what came next. He made his way to his leader and sat while the others began to gather, observing the familiar lands with a longing gaze over his shoulder as he waited. "Speech"

Change wasn't something that ever settled well with Thalia but for arguably the first time in her life she was ready for something new. These lands in particular weren't ones she clung to tightly - this was the place where she'd briefly lost her way, out of the Fallen God's path, and where she'd found it again. This place held more bad memories than good though and she was glad to leave it and its ghosts behind. She allowed herself a moment to reflect before she answered Eligos's call, interested to hear where he intended to guide them next. Wherever it was, she was ready to leave this place behind. She cast a glance to Asmodeus as she neared him and settled down, giving a nod of acknowledgment as she wondered if he felt the same way.

She couldn't say she was too attached to the lands here. She was used to uprooting herself and moving elsewhere like a dandelion on the wind. She wasn't sure what her kids thought about it though, but they were young. They'd adjust. It would be nice for a change of pace, and no matter where she went, all she could do was look ahead. Looking back brought too many painful memories, and ones she wished she could forget and she did her best to try to do just that. Her smallest daughter walked alongside her as they answered Eli's call. She wasn't too in tune with the pack if she was honest with herself. She had kept to herself a lot, but with the change from pack to band, she decided she would try to make changes for herself as well. It was hard for her to let others in, however. What with all the abandonment she had throughout her life...but she had to try sometime, right? Arriving at the gathering, only a few had shown up so far. The rest would come, and if not, then so be it. "Talk" "You" Think
