The post for this meeting will be due on Sunday (5/17). I know it's short notice, but unless someone magically appears to join the pack will disband anyway on Monday.

Pantheon had become a ghost town. One by one his members, which were for the most part all his family members as well, had drifted away without a trace. The more he searched for them the more hopeless it seemed. The only thing he could wonder was what had he done wrong? He had been working so hard to establish some positive connections with other packs and to make sure their borders were well guarded so they would be safe. It seemed that while he was doing all of these things the majority of his pack had left... Hercules sighed heavily as he looked out across the silent Estuary. Well, silent except for the constant chatter of birds. He had honestly blocked the birds out by this point. They were just background noise to his own personal disappointment. Trying to pull himself together, he took a deep breath and then lifted his muzzle to let out a howl. He called for any remaining members of his pack so they could figure out what their next steps would be... but it was becoming obvious to him that they could no longer continue like this. They were barely a pack anymore anyway. "Talk" "You" Think

Even Thanatos had noticed it. The eerie silence that seemed to fill the pack. It was as if there was hardly anything left of their family, a ghostly silence filling the air. The young male with his raven companion, staring across the Estuary with sad eyes. He wasn’t sure what had become of his family... But he knew that Pantheon felt empty. It was as if their very spirits were defeated... But no. The antipeltast was not to give up so easily, and he would heed the call of his brother. “Come.. Poe...” The raven would take flight into the air as well, spreading his wings to the skies. It did not take Thanatos long to reach Hercules, moving with a bit more purpose than he usually did. He would settle upon the earth, looking to his brother with gentle eyes. “How bad... Is it...?” Thany would ask him. "Listen to me talk," 'but read my thoughts.'

Philotes would lift her head, letting out a little yawn. She didn’t know where everyone had gone... Mneme... Aether... She missed them though. But she still had Hercules, Thanatos, and daddy luckily. She also had Charm... Though she had yet to fully warm up to the girl. The little ravenesque female would rise to her paws, leaving the den behind as she answered the call of her big brother. She knew meetings were important things... But she didn’t know how important or what it was he might want to talk about. The female would arrive quietly, coming up to Hercules’ side and nuzzling into him. “Hiya Herc...”

It was worse than he thought. Philly and Thanatos were the only ones to appear for his call. Where was his father? And Charm? Worry gnawed at him for his missing family members and for his friend. He sighed when his brother asked how bad it was and he just shook his head. He forced a smile for his younger sister and leaned down to lick her forehead once she had snuggled up to him. He looked back up to Thanatos with disappointment on his features and heaviness in his shoulders. "Pantheon his no more. I will still try to keep as many of our family together here for as long as I can, but we are no longer a pack. Everyone has gone... We're barely a gathering of wolves, much less a pack." He sighed again and rose to his paws. "Thany, watch Philly will you? I'll be back. I'm going to look around the territory for anyone else that is still here to give them the news." He gave Philly a little nuzzle before turning to trot off to search for any lingering members, mainly Charm and his father. He was sure they were around here somewhere... at least he hoped so. - exit - "Talk" "You" Think

Pantheon was no more. It made sense, considering the scarcity of those who were still part of the pack. Hell, hardly anyone had come to the gathering at all. Just himself and Philotes. The pack had been hanging by but a thread and Thanatos hadn't even realized it. He would breathe a slow sigh out, closing his eyes in deep thought. Poe on the other hand would give a caw of disapproval, the noise sounding through the air. The raven would take flight, his words calling down to the wolves gathered. "I will help you look for them Hercules!" With that the raven would fly off, leaving the three wolves behind. Thanatos would open his eyes, looking down at Philotes. She didn't need this. Gods above she didn't need this. He would lift his gaze to Herc, giving a sad smile. "I'll keep... an eye... on her..." He would agree as Hercules left. Thanatos would rise, motioning for his little sister to follow. For now he had some things he wanted to do as well. There were some places he wanted to say goodbye to before all was said and done. --Exit-- "Listen to me talk," 'but read my thoughts.'
