Change [PACK MEETING]

Sitting atop the hay pile she would watch her children and mate take their spots before her, seeing all of them causing a smile to spread over her lips.

One by one she would see her members show up, the first being Miss Malia who Loccian had recently accepted into the pack, dipping her head to the woman when she greeted her Queen. Next would be Dragon, complimenting her children, and Aeil coming up with him and awwing at the sight of her family. Loccian would smile shyly, dipping her head to the both of them. ?I am well, thank you.? She would answer Aeil. An unknown women with interesting markings on her face would show up, maybe somebody Maverick had accepted when he was ruling, Squall would show up after her. The sight of the man would bring a sigh from her, feeling guilty for mating with Gerhardt without a word to the man.

She would give a small shake of her head to dismiss her thoughts, the sight of Destruction bringing the smile back. One by one they all would trail on over to the meeting spot, pups and adults she had come to know about over time. Another wolf she didn't quite meet, markings beneath the eyes.

And then he showed up. The smile would vanish from Loccian, the glow around her fading. Grey orbs would quickly settle upon a dark form that sneaked towards the group of wolves, her gaze like steel as he moved around the edge, sitting in the very back. A dark aura would surround the usually friendly Queen, disappointment and anger clear on her face, giving the man, her brother, a death glare. He had a lot of explaining to do, and he would see a side of her nobody else saw except for him and Squall, like that day she came upon the two fighting. He would be dealt with after the meeting.

She would pull her gaze away from Ponitfex, watching as more members approached. One on particular would bring the smile back, Faolan approaching her family. He congratulated Gerhardt on the family, saying she was very nice, the pardoning himself and going to take a seat next to his family. One of Maverick's newest additions would even greet her, which Loccian would give a dip of her head to. A few more members... and them Bronze. The moment she spotted the man surprise and guilt would wash over her. The man had been a prisoner in Glaciem after the war between them and Valhalla, and she had been unable to get him back. Loccian felt horrible, for not at least going to the ice kingdom and work out something. But what could she have done? She had nothing, her members would mean nothing to the cold wolf, and there was no way she would give up the kingdom.

With everyone here, she would finally begin, explain why she had summoned the Kingdom. Head would rise, grey orbs looking over each wolf gathered before her. She would clear her throat for a moment, before finally speaking. "We have quite a group here." She would smile as she gazed at the wolves. "I have summoned you all today, for an important pack meeting. One that even pups should know about since it will involve them." Her tail would give a light thump against the hay pile. "Let me begin with the newest additions to the Kingdom, officially out and exploring their home." The grey woman would first look to Tahlia, her gaze dropping down to her children, Anais, Jakart, and Nako. "Miss Tahlia's children, Anais, Jakart and Nako." Her gaze wold then shift over to Maverick and Epiphron. "Maverick and Epiphron had another litter, this time two healthy boys and a healthy girl. Caeto, Finiarel, and Celeste." She would dip her head to them like she did Tahlia. Her gaze would then shift to her own children, a bright smile upon her lips, a proud glow about her. "And my own children, born in the last days of Winter. Three healthy boys and a single female. Elias, Daedalus, Nizhoni and Enola." A warmth would be in her gentle tones, giving her children a loving gaze even though they were in front of her.

Clearing her throat she would look back to the group with head raised. "Not only did we get children as new additions, but we also got a new member, and three have returned to us, two who were taken by the north after the war." First she would motion towards Malia. "Miss Malia is now apart of our Kingdom..." Gaze would then motion towards Themisto and Bronze. "Give a warm welcome to Themisto and Bronze, tough warriors who were sent to aid Valhalla and taken prisoner. They were greatly missed while away, be sure to remind them of this." Yes, she didn't want them to feel like they were forgotten, and that they were actually quite missed by their home. For a moment her gaze would harden as she looked to Pontifex. "My brother, Pontifex has finally returned also, having aided in the war as well." A hint of coldness would be in her tones, obviously not pleased by his sudde appearance.

But now she had more important things to tell the pack, the real reason why she had summoned them all. Loccian was still quite unsure how it would affect them all, but she hoped it would bring good. "I apologize for this, but everyone is being demoted. it is not because you are lacking any skills or activity towards the Kingdom, it is because ranks will be changed, to better fit and identify tasks you will be given to contribute to our growing kingdom." Her gaze would mostly fall upon those who held a higher rank, most had earned their spot, but she would make sure they got something back for their loyalty and hard work. "Infante will be staying as is, but a few ranks will be added in to tier three of the Kingdom, those skilled in their area. Abbot will be our lead healer, Vintenar our lead knight, and Villein will be lead hunter. Once two have been chosen for these ranks, I will be adding another name beside them for those of the male or female gender." She would pause, allowing this information to sink in before continuing. "Above these ranks however, but not quite with our betas, will be a special unit for the Kingdom. Constables, you will be our protectors, fighters who must be willing to be sent out to battle, to protect our Kingdom, our home." Her tone would grow serious bringing up this rank, they needed strong warriors to protect all these pups, and hose growing old. "You will be important to the Kingdom."

Letting all that sink in Loccian would gaze over the wolves, taking in a deep breath, and hoping that once she delivered everything she wanted to say, that people would volunteer to become Seracia's protectors. "Now, making up a majority of our population, we will no longer have esquires or dames. Instead, it will be made up with priests who will be healers, knights that will be warriors in training to become part of the Constables, or just remain as a warrior that will not be sent out to fight. Serfs will be our hunters, and barons will be our speakers, or advisors." She would allow people to speak once she was done, see which task her members were best at then assign the appropriate rank. "For new members, who are either under two years or don't quite know which task they are best as, will be Clergy. Yearlings will be Gentries, training in a field before getting assigned a task. And after them will be the children, Progeny will remain for the royal family, and Filius for the rest of the Kingdom." So much going on, so many changes. "With such a large Kingdom, it is expected that punishment will occur, so I have added a rank with the Jester. Peasant, this will be mainly for temporary punishment, while Jester will be for those who have committed crimes or continued disobeyment of the laws. By the sounds of it, Peasants, will indeed be for younger members. I expect the adults to stay out of trouble. Because these are for those causing trouble or disobeying those higher up, they are to be monitored at all times, mainly the Jesters. If you spot them getting into something they shouldn't, or leaving the packlands, you are to alert a higher rank."

"I apologize for all this new information." She would add with a nervous laugh, she didn't mean to flood them. "Please hang on a bit more, I just have a few things left."

"Moving on to our Mentoring system, I will be assigning new mentors with new apprentices. If you are unhappy with who you have received, speak up and I will try to change you arrangement." Grey gaze would fall upon the younger members of the Kingdom, not wanting the children to be afraid to speak up. "Rather than be apprenticed in one area, I will be offering Mentors to take in two children, they will have their primary mentor for what they are interested in, then a secondary as extra." She didn't want them to be limited in their field like she was, only knowing how to heal rather than fight or hunt more than just small or slow prey.

With this bit of news, she was sure the pack would be thrilled, or at least, she hoped so. Her body posture would straighten up, tail lightly thumping at her side as she looked to the group with a large smile. "We are growing, becoming quite the Kingdom, a lovely sight. And so, I would like to announce that we will be expanding our lands, offering a larger area for our kingdom! If you have spotted any suitable areas for us to claim, please speak up!"
