Instruments supplied by Jazper placed at the end of the hall, near the court room doors.

The main level of the courthouse had been abuzz with activity for most of the afternoon as preparations had begun for the evenings celebrations. In both the lounge and the kitchen fires had been started to warm the hearth. The Great Hall had been cleaned and a few of the long tables from the usual dining area had been moved out into the center of the hall along with the accompanying chairs. Decorations were a scant few, but a few bits of evergreen accented the pale walls and pillars.

As the sun began to set over the horizon the Great Hall became filled with the dancing light of several small lamps that burned the oils rendered from animal fat as the wicks were lit. It wasn’t long after that the tables started to fill with various delights from the kitchen. There was fowl and venison of varying origins, but the meats were not alone, for there was a thick and chunky stew of rabbit and root vegetables. It was unfortunate that they had not been able to spare any grains for breads of any sort.

This would be the longest night of the year and the Guida had the word to all of the members of pack that tonight they would celebrate with food, drink and perhaps even some music if there were enough willing musicians, that is. When it seemed that all was ready and those that wished to join in the celebration had gathered Anann stood before the table and called for every one's attention. ”It has been two months since we have come together as a pack and as a pack we should be proud of what we have accomplished in that time.” She gave a brief pause as she looked around the room, a proud smile on her face. ”We have made a home for ourselves, here in Kingsbury. Word of our pack is already being spread beyond our borders. The coyote clan, Inferni, has given us the promise of peace so long as they are given the same respect.” It was merely the beginning, but all things had to start somewhere and while the first steps were small, they were hardly insignificant.

”And, as you can see”, a hand gestured to the food filled table behind her, ”our efforts to build a storage of food has been quite successful. So let’s enjoy this evening. There is plenty of food, plenty of drink and perhaps with enough volunteers we will even have some music!” And with that the festivities were set to begin.
