L'aen (Lane)<br/><strong>Who:</strong>Astir, Tsaghani, Son, Seni, Danae, Open<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Shaman Hut<br/><strong>When: </strong>8th Day of the Hunger Moon<br/><hr/>L'aen had been in a Shaman hut on several occasions before, but with so many hurt at one time he wondered why he had been brought here, one more body to crowd the space.  He was led into the hut by the man that had captured him previously and already L'aen's heart softened to the pack more.  They were the way a pack should be.  A family, not a group ruled by fear and a merciless dictator.  Astir nosed him toward the fire and sprawled out.  He knew the wolf must be cold, so in a semi-neutral position, L'aen got down to the floor and laid behind the wolf.  Not touching him, but letting his warm body heat soak into the wolf's bones and keep him comfortable while he waited.<br/><br/>His fingers reached to pet behind the wolf's head and he gently began his story.<br/><strong>"So, you want to know it all huh?"</strong>He whispered,<br/><br/><strong>"Very well,  I was born into the Ghaltsel pack On the first day of summer. The previous week I was told had been quite cold, as it has always been a winter land.  My mother was the resident Omega and my Father was a third in command Beta warrior.  My mother named me after the sunlight, because as it broke the clouds, she said I seemed to radiate like a beacon in the snow.  <br/>When I became a young man, The pack leader position had begun to shift and.... Ts'ekolcak murdered my father, ascending to become the current leader of the Ghaltsel. <br/>My mother was heartbroken, as well as I, and as I flourished into an adult, she waned like the moon above and one day I went to wake her, but she was cold.  A kind of cold no heat can restore.  I think she died of her broken heart. Sometimes I still feel her with me, to continue to guide me on my life journey.  I took her place as Omega, and ever since have lived in the fear of my previous pack leader, until the day I read omens about your pack.  I knew then that it was my chance to be free from Ts'ekolcak's darkness.   I told them I was going on a spirtitual pilgrimage... but I am sure they have caught word of my betrayal. "</strong>He shrugged gently<strong>"I don't have an awful lot to live for as far as people goes, so I have come to terms with my fate. "</strong><br/><br/>A sort of half-smile crossed his lips and he laid close to the wolf, resisting the urge to hold him as much for the Astir's sake as his own.  As he finished he heard the woman speak, saying it was Astir's turn.  He stood and helped Astir if he needed it so that his wounds could be treated, hoping for a chance to go to be by himself, even if it was his slumber tonight, which he would likely take in wolf form, the form they hadn't seen yet.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>(link to Sadghan lake & forests post: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=178654.25 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=178654.25))
