;;June Gathering;;

[Mistgaze]

"Welcome, Dio." Mistgaze woofed coldly. She didn't care what they said, the Renegades were cold-blooded killers to her. She surveyed the clearing, making sure no-ones fur was bristling or claws were unsheathed. She greeted Redblaze and Moonfeather. "Hello, Redblaze, Moonfeather. I haven't seen you for a while."

Songbird followed her pack into the clearing. She noticed the hostile glances from ThunderPack wolves. Ignoring them, she padded towards the other medicine wolves. "Greetings, Crystalstream, Echohowl. How has everything been lately? No trouble, I hope?"

[σя¢нidfrost]

Echohowl looked over as Songbird joined her and Crystalstream. "Nope, no trouble. Apart from the weather, that is," she replied, dipping her head to the Riverpack medicine wolf. Every pack was here now, so the meeting was soon to start. "And how goes it in Riverpack?" Echohowl asked. "With the heat, some of the herbs ought to be shriveling up."

Crystalstream looked at the wolves and was scared if a battle or if anything happened. She felt a presence like if someone or something was in the woods. What if there was nothing in the woods and she was going crazy? Why would she think that? Maybe she was and she didnt know it. She pushed her thoughts away and focused on the gathering. "Why hello songbird, how are you?" She asked trying not to get sidetracted.

[Mistgaze]

"Not terrible. I've managed patches of herbs by watering them, so they're growing fine." Songbird woofed. "Have your herbs been managing well?"

[σя¢нidfrost]

"For the most part, yes. I find a majority of them near the marshes, and the boggy water keeps them in great condition," Echohowl replied. She winced, hoping Songbird didn't think she was boasting. Echohowl blinked, clearing the haze of thoughts. "Should you ever need something, I'd be more than happy to offer you a generous share."

[Silentee]

<sup>The she-wolf let out an annoyed hiss as he heard Mistgaze's coldness. Silentstar didn't trust Dio as much as her deputy, but she should still show as much respect. Sighing, the she-wolf padded over the the deputy on her way to the giant rocks and gave shot her a gaze of warning to stop being so cold. The large fae jumped gracefully up on one of the rocks and sat down, looking at the leaders to see if they were ready to begin.

//OOC: Ravenstar, and yeah, I agree.//

[Raven]

(I'm here)

Ravenstar stepped forward and howled. Signifying that she was about to speak. After waiting for a moment for the noise to die down, she began. "Starpack has blessed us this moon." She began, fully aware that The Renegades were watching here. "While the land around us begins to loose its luster, we find our own strength and beauty in ourselves, in our pack mates. Never before has Windpack been blessed with such strong and loyal warriors, nor with such hard working apprentices and beautiful pups." She looked around the clearing for a second, assessing the reaction of the other packs. "Yet, some of you have forgotten what Windpack stands for. Some of you think that Windpack has grown weak. You are wrong! Windpack lives! We are strong, stronger than we ever were before. So that, my friends, is my warning to each and every one of you." She woofed softly, bringing her voice back down again. "Windpack has no wish to fight, for tonight, at least, we are still friends." She stepped back and looked to the next leader.

(I hope I didn't forget anything.)

[Silentee]

^{The large fae dipped her head, nodding respectively to the proud leader. Stepping forward, she surveyed the wolves of all packs, her dark chocolate eyes blinking with warmth to lead such a proud and loyal pack. "Although the forest may be a bit brown, the ThunderPack wolves are flourishing well. Zebraheart, the warrior who had been shot by a two-leg is now able to walk and she has taken her ranking back as a warrior. ThunderPack had a bit of a trouble with a rouge or two, but nothing that our pack can't handle. Also, we did have more troubles with two-legs and their hunting but no wolf was injured in the attack. That is all. " Silentstar's howl was full of authority and warmth. Nodding her head to the packs, she stepped back and beckoned another wolf forward.}

[Mistgaze]

Mistgaze groaned. She doesn't belong here, who does Dio think she is? She shivered when Silentstar mentioned the Twolegs in the forest, remembering the misfortunate event when she and Beefur had almost been shot, and Silentstar had lost two lives.

[σя¢нidfrost]

Whitestar stepped forward, taking her turn. Her pelt glowed silver in the moonlight, and her eyes glimmered. She almost looked like a warrior of Starpack. "Shadowpack is well. The threat of this heat is affecting us as well, though not as badly. We had a run-in with a bear on both our's and the Renegades' territory, but it was taken care of and the injuries recieved were not life threatening. And it also seems like Two-legs are camping on our territory, but they haven't become a problem yet," Whitestar concluded. A cloud of worry passed briefly in her eyes, and was gone.

[Mistgaze]

Songbird looked up at her leader, who was to speak next.

[Axel]

Redblaze looked at the Ravenstar and then down at his parents. He could feel eyes looking at him from the woods but he didnt know who it was. Why did shadowpack have to become friends with the renegades? he asked himself.

[σя¢нidfrost]

Should I let Dio go next in place of the Riverpack leader?
