My Plans Have Changed (Emergency Meeting)

Eligos stood on the edge of the ravine. His eyes were tightly shut with frustration, but he could still see the area in his mind's eye. He had put a lot of himself into this place. He'd tried to make it a home for his family. But everything lately had conspired to tear them apart, and now this home was tainted with painful memories. There, where they'd burned his brother's body. There, where he had brought his niece's body home and (falsely, as it turned out) confessed the murder to her father. There, where Proserpina had confronted him on his return home. There, where they had fought with desperation against a larger raiding force - and failed. More and more he had begun to think that this place was not a home for the Abraxas, but a cage. Their numbers had dwindled to the point that he doubted their ability to hold these lands at all soon. He'd concluded that it would be better to not hold lands at all. What they needed, was a change.

Eyes snapping open and determination firming his jaw and his step, he turned to make his bounding way down into the ravine and to the stone where he'd held all his meetings since they'd claimed this land. Lifting his muzzle, he called imperiously to the pack. Regardless of their feelings towards him and their ambivalence towards Aerie, he demanded their presence. He had news for them.


OOC: I'm only going to wait until probably tomorrow to post again since this is time sensitive. Anyone later than that can either assume they were already there or if you don't want them to have been there IC, let me know in discord so that their absence can be noted.
