Light a Fire in Your Souls [Pack Meeting/Raid Meeting!]

More and more wolves started to pile in and Drachen's deep blue eyes scanned over each one as they filed in, nodding in greeting to the few who glanced his way. He waited patiently for Aurielle to start the meeting but it was obvious she was waiting for a few others to join them and his eyes drifted over the plains to see if he could catch sight of any light stranglers. Soon it came apparent that no one else would be joining them so Drachen flicked an ear and returned his attention to the Spirit as she filled in the pack on recent news, the black and tan filing the information away for future use. His ears flattened to his skull as the news of those that had recently passed and he could almost feel the change in the air as pain filled those that were in attendance. Drachen did not know them personally but he could tell they were loved and deeply missed.

He released a subtle breath as the meeting moved on again to the new members, glad that the air had shifted from deep sadness to excitement. He smiled at Cairo as he caught the man's mouth move in a silent welcome and he dipped his dark face in a silent thanks to the Sentinel. Or rather the freshly names sentinel as Aurielle called the dark man to the front. Drachen beamed at the dark brown male as he was officially named his new rank in front of the pack. Drachen had not known the man for very long, but Drachen enjoyed the man's company and was truly happy for Cairo. He wanted to yip in congratulations for Cairo but held his jaws closed, when no one else rose their voice, though his tail thumped rather loudly in the ground as he looked up at the man.

Once again the meeting moved on to the raid that had been planned with another pack, the idea of a planned raid was something that struck the Vaekhal male as odd but he did not voice his opinion about it. Who was he to challenge their way of life? It soon might even be his own way of life should he stay. Aurielle then asked if there were any questions or suggestions and Drachen remained silent until a large brilliant red old wolf spoke up saying he would guard the healers and young. So far the old red male was the only one to offer to guard the healers while the others wanted to join in the raid. Perhaps a more glory driven wolf would have begged to be in with the raiders but Drachen was not a glory driven wolf and he spoke up, his soft toned voice loud enough to reach Aurielle "I wish to help guard the healers if you will allow it Spirit...." Maybe some would think him a coward for not wanting to be on the front lines but Drachen knew better than anyone that the Healers were just as important, if not more valuable, as the warriors.
