turn and face the strange [Borealis meeting!]

He wasn't... ready. Not in the least; not a little bit. What he had seen - her words, her actions - left him shaken, and it had taken him a few days to recover. A few days of silence, of quiet, of patrolling the border and avoiding his pack. His pack. It made him uneasy, that thought, and he wasn't quite sure... what to do with it, really. First, though, the announcement. He knew Borealis was shrinking by the day - and that needed to change. He understood that the pack was rather family oriented, and the family was gone. Broken, shattered. Zephyra had left, and Mama... Mama had broken.

Taking a deep breath, Ren sat near the middle of the territory, away from the river, though. It was time to begin. He let out the breath in a howl: it demanded the entire pack's presence, regardless of age, and within a timely manner. First he would announce his alphaship, and then he would begin the process of shifting the pack to something he'd be able to lead, something of his own design. He simply didn't know enough of the current design to make it work.

Deadline is Wednesday, January 27th! I'd love it if everyone posted before then, though <3
Edit: If you don't post by then you'll be booted from the pack.
