[/html]Anu followed, coming to the call that had been raised. It was a pleasant day for a pack gathering, and she wondered curiously what it was that caused the Virding to seek out the pack’s attendance. By the sight of their alpha’s faces, and the presence of the six young souls Anu believed that it would be a positive celebration. Settling in beside Tayui, Anu looked to her eyes a small coy smile. The young ones looked back at the now growing crowd, the day would be remembered as a proud moment but for now there was a hint of fear and nervousness in their gazes.
The presence of Colibri beside the two alphas did not move Anu greatly, and she looked to Lilin as she began the gathering. The reason for them coming together was not a complete shock, but the congratulations that was given was surprising for the wolfess. Anu did not envision the fragile Haki woman as one that held responsibility steadily, and past experiences lead to her beliefs. Yet Anu gave not sign of her confusion, the visions of Colibri slinking to the dirt before her weeks ago clouded her thoughts for only a moment. The alpha’s choice could not be judged by a mere subordinate, and though the news was an obvious shock to Colibri herself Anu would remain silent on the subject.
The ceremony was simple, in words and actions. But Anu took in the names and rites so that she could understand the Viking religion better. It was not her known way, and yet she found these new gods and stories to be curious. Each child was placed on the ground, and then raised again, all of the words, names, elements and actions holding a deep meaning. It resonated in the older woman’s mind. Such seemingly simple things deserved such significance.
