STANDING ON THE EDGE OF A REVOLUTION[Morningstar's band meeting]
When a stranger arrived, Divo pulled her closer. Both of the girls stared openly at the newcomer. Her scent was new, and she didn't like it. Clearly, she wasn't allowed. It was family only! Her pinched expression conveyed worry, and for a moment the girl felt bad. Should she say hi? Mammon arrived, and her aggression spelled the answer out very clearly. No. Stay away from her. Dark auds pulled tight against her skull, the girl lowered her head to her paws. Half buried beneath her sister, she felt safe. The others would keep her from harm. "Please Come closer Uriel, take a seat. None of them will mind." This was so strange. If papa wanted her to join them, then why was everyone so mad? Here came Dominika, jovial and naive as always. She sidled up to Mammon, and asked a question in a hushed voice. Probably about this.. Uriel. Hm. The big meanie arrived, and was mean to Uriel. Surprising exactly no one, of course. Why was he so mean? "Thank you all for coming in a timely manner. Our first order of business is a small announcement. My sister Uriel and your aunt," Oh! She was an auntie! It made a little more sense now. "will be held accountable for the past no more, she has decided to join with us, as our head healer she will aid you should you need it, look to her for herbal training should you find yourself interested. Also Gabriel, your uncle, has been discovered to play no part in your brother's death, he is not to be attacked unless he attacks you first, in which case I will deal with him. Michael is still our enemy and will not be forgiven, avoid him at all costs, I wish to deliver his death myself." Divo was upset, she blew out a quiet whine into her scruff. Oh no, don't be upset! Lifting her head, the girl smoothed a few gentle kisses across Divo's cheek. Papa would keep them safe, and if he was going to.. kill someone... then it was okay. "Next is my claim, I am hereby becoming the leader of a band, should you wish to join please state so now. Darya, Forfax, Divo, and Dom are claimed into my band as well. Their ranks are Wings, or youth as you may call it, either works." Awesome! Did this mean that there were going to be more adventures? With the whole family? That would be the best thing ever! "The rules are simple, respect one another. Follow orders if and when I give them. Do not make enemies of the area packs, as I will be moving to secure treaties with the ones that are willing to. We are a neutral party and will remain as such even if one of our allies go to war with another. Children born to those in the band will be claimed into the band immediately. Romantic relationships with minors is prohibited. Rape is also prohibited. And finally I don't care who you love so long as the relationship between you is mutual and I ask that should we have the space you bring your significant other to join us so you are not divided in your loyalties." It was... a lot. So much information. It took a little while to understand it all. By the time it was all organized in her head, everyone had finished talking. She didn't really have anything to say, though. If papa was going to bring her along, then that was alright. "What rape?" Divo suddenly asked. Oh, yeah! Good question! Forfax lifted her head, looking to her papa.
