From Fire, We Grow

With much changing around the world, some positive and some negative, now felt like the appropriate time to bring the Hallows together for a much needed pack assembly. The alpha meeting had recently concluded and Art had a better grasp on where the packs stood with one another, and where the Hallows fit into the big picture. After some deep conversations and long introspection, Artorias had several things he needed to announce to his wolves—some of which he wondered how they would take the changes... In some ways, this would be the most radical shift the Hallows had faced since its inception. In others, it was an inevitability that was bound to happen. Regardless, with the world changing the way it was, it was time for the Hallows to follow suit and adapt too.

As evening fell across Auster, the Aegis headed down to the Great Hall. Artorias crossed the vast space to toss a fresh log into the Great Hearth to feed the eternal fire that burned there, its orange glow roaring back to life. He gazed into the fire's light for a few moments, watching as the flames danced and licked along the smoldering wood before lifting his fire-toned eyes up to the preserved pelt hanging above the hearth—the pelt of his long dead psychopathic brother. His daughter’s heated words echoed in his head as he relived the night he slew Oxx. He had been so sure he had been doing the right thing then… so why did this time feel so conflicted?

With a sigh, Artorias turned and headed for his throne at the head of the hall, unslinging Embershard from across his back to rest against the side of his throne while he took his seat. The azure and black brute lifted his muzzle and gave a commanding howl for the wolves of the Hallows to gather for a meeting. It was long past time to share some information, celebrate their victories and achievements, and discuss planned changes with his family and friends.

ooc: Mandatory pack meeting! First round replies are due by May 29th to remain in the Hallows!
