[Birthing] Progeny Of The Stars

He’d been patrolling the borders, still settling into his new status as the Archangel, when Battlesong had swooped over, and said three words before wheeling away and shooting off to find more of the family. Regulus himself had whirled, patrols and new status forgotten, and charged off at a dead gallop across the plains, sending a howl calling stridently for his family to gather at the den. Maybe he might have sounded like he was calling everyone to the event, but really.. .wasn’t the pack family, too?

He hit the ravine at the same time as Kavdaya, and checked his speed to avoid crashing into the far smaller wolf, letting her take the lead, though he was right on her snowy white tail as they charged down the passage, and neither of them bothered to slow at the steps. As Kavdaya went immediately to the herb stocks, Regulus hurried to the mouth of the alcove and peered in anxiously at his mother. It was much like last time, only this time Kavdaya was here, and he was the Archangel. Zuriel, Father, Baine, Faite… Hells, everybody, was out somewhere, doing things. He hoped that was what it was.

Surely it wouldn’t take them long to get here? As Kavdaya bustled past, jaws full of the plants she’d need, Regulus shifted aside, laying in a spot where he could see his mother and Kavdaya, and everything that was happening, but would be out of the way.
