[Claiming] An Omen In The Stars

As the wolves that would be a part of Celestial spoke up, announcing their rank choices, the Archangel smiled. Zuriel's choice was expected, indeed. However... It was Tornach's reaction that brought an overwhelming sense of agony to her heart. Why was he looking at her like that? As he turned and vacated, the jolt went through her, a sharp breath only Regulus heard, by the way he pressed into her, and by the rumble she felt in his vibrant frame. The tears in Baine's eyes as she called after her brother only brought more agony. It took everything she had to blink away her own tears, settle her face into a calm expression, and address the pack.

"Thank you for your requests. Creed, Ganja, Zuriel, and Varda, you will recieve your ranks by default, as we are just forming. Castiel, Miksa, Faite, you will be sparred to determine your success. Baine, you will be an Apprentice by default. Kavdaya and Zuriel will both be your mentors in Healing. Myself and Castiel will be your mentors in fighting if he achieves his rank. Varda and Regulus will be your mentors in hunting." Her eyes turned to Zuriel. "Your idea for weddings is an excellent one. I'd love to put that into effect. And I certainly intend to have a celebration, perhaps including our new neighbors I believe we have, if they are friendly." The smile on her muzzle took effort to hold in place.

She gave the faces that remained a last sweep of her eyes. "Again, I want to thank you for taking this journey with me. OIt wouldn't be possible without your involvement. This concludes the meeting, but please, feel fdree to mingle, get to know one another." She had to be alone. But one more thing remained. She leapt from the boulder and approached Creed, leaning close to add for his ears alone. "Baine will likely wish to become an Emissary when she reaches the end of her Apprenticeship. Since you're the only Emissary, I'd like you to take up endurance and terrain training with her. I trust you to keep her safe. It will likely mean taking her outside the pack borders often on treks to find new terrain to practice. I think she'll like that." She touched her nose to her friend's shoulder before crossing to her youngest daughter and eldest daughters. Right now, she just wanted to hold them all close.
