Call Me MacGyver

Ashiel caught the expression on Jupiter's face and for a moment wondered if that explanation had made any sense. He really had no idea how to talk about such matters with someone so much younger than he was. He needed to work on that. Especially if he planned on having pups next winter. That was the plan anyway. Ashiel wanted an heir in the wings should having such a back up be necessary and part of him felt like the continuing lineage was something he needed to start as soon as possible, or at least get that checked off his list. Not that he knew the first thing about parenthood.

Jupiter made a guess and Ashiel found it satisfactory. He nodded. "Yea, you're close! He was an alpha I guess since he was a great and powerful leader but what makes him different is that he was also immortal. If you're a god you can't die." Well… like mortals died in any case. Pyralis often confused him on such matters. He made another note to confer with Amon. "He also had special powers to." Well, Ashiel thought he had though he'd be hard pressed to name them. He tried anyway. "You know, like call down lightning to strike down his enemies and that sort of thing. But you're absolutely right, the lesser gods were jealous and ganged up on him." He grinned at the complement. Little flatterer. Jupiter would go far he could tell. "I bet you'd make an impressive alpha yourself Jupiter. You're really smart for a kid your age."

Ashiel paused as he considered Jupiter's question. Since he'd been born into the family Ashiel just learned this stuff and participated without much of a thought but did a spirit, or a mortal for that matter, have to do anything special first? He wasn't quite sure but surely as long as Jupiter believed that was a good enough start? He nodded. "Sure, I don't see why not. I'll ask my uncle to be sure. In fact we could probably do the ceremony right here. These trees are sacred and they climb right up to the heavens. We should be able to send a request from here."
