Azrael smiled and started to explain enthusiastically. "We have a celebration for the first full moon of each season. A season for us is half a year for you I think. There is the cooling season and the warming season." He said. "We also hold celebrations for both equinoxes. Those are the four most important things for us, for the Full Moons are celebrations of the Moon Father, whilst the equinoxes are celebrations of the Great Mother. Other celebrations are conditional. For example, tonight we will be celebrating the Revival of the forest, and this may become a traditional celebration." Azrael paused to let Miluiel process the information. "Tonight we will give thanks to Great Mother for sending Shera, for being the savior of our home. You will also be officially taken into the clan tonight. As an outsider, it is likely that the Elders will give you a name for within our clan. Do you mind?" He asked her.

“I would like to attend. I think it would be better than just staying here all night. We should enjoy the festivities.” Her words had a sort of elation to them as she sat there. Her eyes even showed this as she would smile back. She hoped he understood as she kept her hand in his happy to know that he is returning her affections. It warmed her heart considerably being from one of a soldier to one of at least a soldier and a woman.

Miluiel shook her head. "No that is fine with me." She giggled. "Do they know I am here?" she asked Azrael amazed that there had been any time for them to learn of her presence. She blushed, "Do they know about our plans?"

When you and Shinn went out earlier in the morning, I was out making preparations for the feast. I went the the Elder's and told them that you were to join the pack, and they acknowledged it. Most of the others found by over hearing my chats with some of the feast planners." Azrael said. "As for out plans, only the elders know, and they will be ready when we are ready. The bonding ritual itself is private between the two being wedded, the Elders, and the witnesses we select." Azrael chuckled. "Speaking of which... do you know who you will bring as your witness?" Azrael asked.

Miluiel nodded, "You are a tricky one." She kissed him lightly. "For my witness.... Shinn will be coming right?" She asked knowing he would be her first choice. "Other than Shinn I was thinking about Helena."

"Not especially tricky." Azrael said grinning. "You were out a long time gathering that firewood... and I remember saying that I had things to do at that time." Azrael smiled and held his son tightly. "Yes... Shinn will be coming to our bonding ritual. Do you want to be Miluiel's witness or my witness, my son?" He asked him.
Shinn giggled and looked from Azrael to Miluiel intently. "Uh.... Millie!" Shinn said with a grin.
Azrael nodded and moved Shinn to his other arm so he could be next to Miluiel. Shinn scrambled up so he could be sitting on Azrael's shoulders and giggled, his tail wagging happily.

Miluiel laughed. "Alright then it is settled." She reached up to Shinn sitting up on Azrael's shoulders. "You will be my witness." She said smiling at him. "It will be wonderful." she said smiling happily.

Shinn giggled happily, still holding his wrapped up catch, clutching it tightly in his arms. "Yay!" He sheered. "I get to watch the ceremony!"
Azrael smiled broadly. "We are almost there you two!" He told them, gesturing to the a large building ahead of them. The building was round, and was built in a similar crude but incredibly sturdy fashion of all of the houses in the village. "That is the Honor Hall where we hold out feasts and ceremonies. I forgot to mention that after a werewolf successfully passes through their rite of passage to adulthood, we hold a feast for them as well." He said. As they walked over to the Honor Hall, the cookfires for the feast could be seen. Those who were tending them had finished with the meat and had most likely sent it into the hall already, however a few piles of raw meat could be seen, and a few ordinary wolves, many with young pups, were attacking the meat. "I see that we have provided for the Little Brothers at this feast as well. I am glad that they thought of them. The wild wolves have had very little to eat this winter. Now that we have food ready for them, they will not attack travelers perhaps." He said as he led them onward.

Miluiel looked back at Helena and Tanis following them. She smiled reassuringly, nodding at the information Azrael provided her with. When they entered the building Miluiel froze for a moment when she saw the wolves. Whimpering softly she drew closer to Azrael, wrapping her arms around his amr and hugged him tightly. She watched the wolves closely as they walked. "T-they must be very hungry then, won't they?" she asked her voice shaking. She had been chased by wolves before. "Perhaps." Miluiel asked watching the wolves very closely now.
Tanis entered the building. He had nearly the same reaction as Miluiel. His hold on Helena tightened. He whispered to her, "Do not be afraid, they will not harm you."

“I’m not afraid. I have no reason to be.” Helena’s words came with much bravery as she was half-topaz dragon after all. Her eyes would follow Miluiel’s gaze and then her holding onto Azrael tightly. She’d smile gently as she watched. She would not object as she looked about. Her arms moved however to going over Tanis’ shoulder to get a better hold so that she did not fall.

Tanis adjusted his hands so he could hold her more securely. "I am glad." Tanis said smiling, but not looking away from the wolves. "This is a very nice home," he commented.

Celeron made his way outside the guest den to see the werewolf community moving about and gathering an assortment of foods and ceremonial goods.
"Well I guess that answers our question on whether the celebration was still going on our not." Celeron said as he barely dodged someone running by with some kind of decoration.

Helena was glad that Tanis had adjusted his grip. She had started to feel a little weak as she leaned her head against his shoulder. “It is.” Her comments were kept simple and precise.
“Do you think they need help?” Shera would ask this, but was sure that they would not allow her to help. She was a guest after all chances were they would demand she rest still. She was sure Mazzia wouldn’t let her at least or Celeron if they knew she needed magic still.

"I fear if we try to help we might get trampled my dear. Perhaps we should let them do what they feel is necessary and we can go flying or something. Are you able to fly yet my love?" Celeron asked as he looked at her wings.
