Unity in the Long Night
Hallows Feast of Unity

Whispers had circulated since Laeta’s arrival to the Hallows about the feast. It was a big celebration, she surmised, based on how much planning went into it. As the women approached the great hall, drawn to it by the smells of fresh meats and the heat of the warm candles, the anxiety within her fluttered, like a bird in a cage. The nervousness and apprehension about seeing more new people, having to try and make conversation — it was going to be a bit daunting at first to attend, she could tell. Still, everyone she’d had the pleasure of meeting in this pack had been nothing but kind and understanding, and as warm as the candlelit hall itself. The whole place was basked in a physical and metaphorical glow of friendship and unity. Ruby eyes peeked into the hall, already seeing Artorias, Jane, and an older male wolf already present. Her heart rushed to her throat, but the woman bravely swallowed back her anxious thoughts as she padded soundly into the room. It was massive, and grand was an understatement. The sight of all the tables, and the rich feast upon them, the beeswax candles..what to do? Where to sit? Questions bounced around in her mind as the monochromatic woman stood, wondering where to sit. She knew some tables would be “reserved” for family members within the Hallows, but where did she belong? As a pack member, she hoped she was as welcome as she felt. The kindness she had experienced for the first time in her life rushed back, embracing her warmly. Still searching for a seat, the woman managed to crack the tiniest of smiles upon her lips, taking in the sights around her. |
