Kevarian gave Adam an odd look, but determined that the polite thing to do would show he was appreciative in some way.
"I will take your advice," he replied, nodding his head once in a gesture of appreciation.
The striped wolf straightened as Newanti revealed himself shortly after Adam's recommendation. The appearance wasn't a surprise because he hadn't known about Newanti, but it was a surprise that the wolf had come out of his home. The voice in his head rang with a wit that Var hadn't expected, and so he remained silent, wondering how much of his thought process was revealed to the two Seers-- he was sure now that they were both Seers, at least-- when he was this close to them. The only magical wolf he'd ever dealt with was his father and... well, so far neither Adam nor Newanti were anything like him. Also, Kalain couldn't read Kevarian's thoughts and intentions. How was he meant to react to that?

With yet another sharp intake of breath, Rock hopped to his paws to watch as the Omnus appeared to them all. Every wolf seemed more attentive now, and Rock could see why. The whole experience so far had been like waiting for a savior to appear, your own personal Jesus. And now here he was; whether he was a god or not remained to be seen.
The pup gazed over everyone, awestruck at the things that might happen tonight, his mind filling with all sorts of fanciful things. He wondered if Jani was thinking the same thing, and felt a pang in his heart when he realized that she didn't care if he wondered about her. In fact, she probably wished he would never think about anything again.
He pawed the ground restlessly, but somehow found the patience to wait like the others. He looked back at Aleu, a hopeful gleam in his eyes. "This is so cool." he couldn't help let his puppy-like ways escape his mouth any longer.

 Flit's eyes had already adjusted to the shine that the tree seemed to have but he still wasn't used to a glowing tree. Something like that just wasn't natural. Did the Omnus do something to make it glow? He shook his head slightly. Possibly but that would have taken a large amount of skill, energy, and time to do.
There was another voice in his head and it wasn't that of the current Seer that was amongst them. He lowered his gaze to see that the outline of the wolf that was in the hollow had emerged from said hollow, revealing himself to the small group that had gathered around the glowing tree. He noticed the scars on the Omnus' left shoulder and winced slightly. The scars looked old, possibly he could have gotten it when he was a pup. The bandage over the Omnus' left eye indicated that he may be blind in that eye. He had a little bit of pity for the Omnus due to those old wounds that he bore.
"Party?" he asked in a confused tone of voice, though the tone of voice was only low enough for the Omnus to hear. Flit looked around the area. Was this really a party? He wasn't really sure anymore.

With her eyes squinted to avoid the full effect of light coming off from the tree Aleu watched as the one eyed wolf crept out from the spot he had been hiding. The wolf spoke into Aleu's mind and it made her realize that this was more of a special place than she had originally thoughts. What mysteries surrounded this tree, the wolf and why so many others had come should be revealed soon.This was a very special wolf and he deserved respect, whether Adam said so or not, Aleu tipped her head in a small bow to the wolf. Now that he was here they could all see just what had drawn them to this place at this time.
When she heard Rock speak once more Aleu couldn't help but smile a bit. Though he should be showing his respect to the great wolf Rock was after all a pup and could easily be overwhelmed by the awe of everything around him. "Yes, it is cool." She told him in a hushed tone and hoped that he would pick up that now was the time for quiet, they could remark about the fascinating situation they had found themselves in later.

Jani’s attention snapped to the new wolf, to the dimming area around her, her calm was starting to shatter from the need to focus. She didn’t like to have to focus to come back to the real world, to feel her need for vengeance rush through her. Glancing in her brother’s direction Jani forced her mind to wonder, to fill with thoughts that would calm her… His blood, everywhere, covering her family… His body twitching with the last bits of life then… Then he would die and never change again, forever be locked into death.
Pulling her attention away from her brother finally Jani took in deep breaths trying to take in as much of the area around her as possible she wanted that calm again that need to be closed off from the others, and slowly it took over. Slowly her breathing evened out and she could focus without having the rush of the need to destroy kicking in, whatever was going on seem to have a wonderful effect on Jani; in her own opinion. She liked this sense of control this feel of wonderment that she could take on anything or anyone no matter size of age.
She wanted so much more of it, wanted to know what was happening what was going on… What would happen to her, she could feel it all around her all through her system even through her brother... Through everyone around her! Suppressing a growl Jani slowly got up wanting to be just a tad closer to this obvious powerful wolf.

Newanti had to wall his mind off some to the sudden barrage of emotion and though that practically oozed off every wolf in the area, finding it overwhelming until he was able to manage the volume to something more manageable.
Of course it's a party. It's night time, there's lots of you here...who's got the food? He grinned widely as he responded openly to Flit's question, giving his tail a grand swish before cocking a brow, aware he was probably throwing at least someone off of their impressions to how this evening was going to work.
As Jani stood, Newanti smiled and strode by her easily, pausing to look over his shoulder a moment. Yes, yes. Everyone this way, Jani's got it right. Might as well get a move-on. The full moon doesn't wait forever! After that, he loped towards the dirt circle not far away from where he was previously standing...a circle smelling oh so faintly of wolves from the past. Adam might even recognize himself there as well as the others that had shown.
The Omnus didn't seem too worried about any hesitation those assembled might produce at following his orders as he plopped himself back on his haunches in the center. Either they followed his commands or they were left out, simple as that.

Food! He should've thought to bring food! D8 What a faux-pas.
'I sorry! Next time I'll remember to bring some, promise!' Adam said to the omnus, getting back onto his paws to follow him to . . . Heeeeey. Yeah! He totally remembered this circle, and the formation his group had done, and what happened once everyone was sitting inside, and all that good stuff! Always good to know that even time couldn't corrode some memories.
Now last time he had been within the circle, but now . . . Well, it probably wasn't proper to join if he wasn't here for the choosing ceremony, yes? The seer plopped himself outside the drawn border and let his tail curl about his feet as he beckoned the others over. 'You guys inside please~' Not really necessary to say so, but he felt super-chatty with all these wolves around. Why, he'd never been with so many at once! Even with the Sacred Oak's calming effect, Adam felt rather excitable to be with so many of his kind; especially for this rite! He wondered if packs ever felt like this.
In the meantime, he considered making background music to this. Since he couldn't bring food, why not song? Although to be honest he didn't know very many . . . Or maybe he could just tap a rhythm out? Wait, would they even hear it once Newanti started up flipping through their minds? Would it even matter?
. . . Well still, why not? It'd keep him occupied.

Ears perked Jani couldn’t help but fall under this powerful wolf’s spell, and it just had to be a spell… Jani felt sane for once, could see clearly to the other side of… Of what? She didn’t know but she could see clearly, feel lighter and almost feel cleaner. What was this place and this being that had such power to make her goal in life seem so close to her? Part of her shouted to get answers but the other part silent followed almost as if in a daze in the direction of where she was meant to go.
Her body moved without the sound of her fur bothering her, without the thought of her sibling doing the same making her blood boil, and without having her mind plagued with thoughts of horrific deaths of her family. Usually the very thought of her future actions would cause her to go into a meltdown mode, losing all control and wanting nothing more than to destroy something but not here… No, this place made it feel as if she could easily do it and it would be no problem that she was doing the right thing but being here and waiting for the right chance like she was… Normal, like she was right.
She didn’t care for what anything looked like because the moment she knew she was allowed to sit down she did, and closed her eyes taking in the aura of the place still. It was beautiful, she already knew it didn’t have to see it to believe it to confirm like… Just wanted this forever peaceful mind, forever feeling of power; like she could take on the goddamned world!

 Flit shifted his weight so that he was leaning slightly towards the Omnus. It was interesting to call this a party. More like a gathering to him but not a party. He heard the joke that the Omnus had said about if anyone brought any food. He found himself chuckling at that joke and he blushed slightly. Was he finally getting used to trusting other wolves other than his family? Hopefully he did. He didn't want to be a loner for the rest of his life.
He watched as Jani walked inside of a circle...something he hadn't noticed until that very moment. Was it because the circle didn't present itself until the Omnus made it visible or did he not really notice it until that very moment. Hesitating for a brief moment, Flit stood up and walked inside of the circle, sitting down a scant three inches away from the edge of it. Here, he leaned forward towards the older wolf. Hopefully now his questions would be answered.

Derecho rose to his feet and shook the debris from his pelt as the Omnus bid them to follow, glancing at Aleu before trotting after "Come on sis" He wasn't sure exactly how this was all going to go down - but he wasn't about to be left out either and surely Aleu wouldn't be either. They hadn't journeyed this far from home for nothing.
Upon reaching the dirt circle derecho couldn't help but pick up the faint traces of others, clearly this beaten circle had been used many times in the past..and would likely be used many time in the future. He wondered briefly if ever someone would come here and recognize the scent he left behind by being here tonight. Sitting within the circle he awaited further instruction.

Standing Aleu glanced down at Rock and motioned for him to follow, she didn't want him left behind now that they were moving. She fell into step behind Derecho as they made their way over to the dirt circle. This was the place where all would be revealed, a place that had seen many wolves pass through based upon the wear on the dirt. Her eyes briefly flicked over the other wolves before sitting down beside her brother, leaving room enough for Rock to sit between then if he so chose or he could sit on her other side. Now all they had to do was wait and see what the one-eyed wolf has to say.

Rock watched as the Omnus strode past them, and felt the whisper of words tickle the back of his conscious. The powerful wolf knew his sister's name. It was then that Rock realized the Omnus knew all of their names, and not because the odd red seer had said them earlier.
Taking note of Aleu's glance, Rock also rose and followed the brother/sister pair, taking a place a bit off to Aleu's side. He wished to be near her, but not close enough to feel like family. It was odd for him, that someone was looking out for him when they'd only just met him. He looked around him at the others, who were also moving to join the circle, which he had only now realized was even here.
As he settled, the pup picked up the scents of other wolves, long gone, and wondered how long this sort of thing had been going on. Before he was even born, to be sure, and that alone made him feel like he was part of something huge tonight.
He breathed slowly, the feeling of deep calm still filling his very soul. He felt embarrassed at his earlier outburst, even though this place was very cool. He would wait now, to see what the Omnus would do, and would only speak again if spoken to.

He waited patiently for all the assembled to grab their own little patch of dirt, looking from face to face impassively as he tried to gauge intentions from their body language. He depended too much on his powers sometimes and it was almost 'fun' to play like he was normal like all of these faces in front of him. Body language was powerful and even the best liars can't hide the truth if one knows how to read it...but he always realized that it was always safer to go to the mind for answers. Regardless, it was fun to pretend.
"So," he began, using his own voice this time instead of mind speech. "I imagine you all have some questions...so I figure you might want to get those out of the way so everyone has a clearer mind. One at a time, please...my old brain can only handle so much at once." His tone was good-natured, but it was still clear that he wasn't joking about the 'one at a time' part.

“What is this place, how long has it been around, how old are you, what does this place do? Is there any other place like it?” She couldn’t stop her thoughts; they were just overflowing from her mind. It was the first time she could even organize them enough to under them! “What are you? What goes on here, will it help any?” She could feel the powers from this place course through her, the powers from this wolf run over the lands… Like he was one with it or something.
How did she get that kind of power, she needed to know she knew it would help her quest of destroying her family; and yet that wasn’t the main focus of her mind. She couldn’t help but feel as if that wasn’t the main point of her life, like she was meant for something a lot bigger then that…
Now that her eyes were open she could have gotten a chance to look around but that wasn’t like Jani. Her eyes stayed glued to this wolf, this powerful being before her. She wanted answers she needed the knowledge she knew he had, she just needed it! Like somehow those very answers might somehow make her stronger, more powerful… Maybe less crazy and smarter.

 Flit hesitated slightly as he heard the Omnus speak out loud this time. He was a little startled at this fact because he was getting used to him speaking to them in their minds. He tilted his head to one side and looked at the others, wondering who was going to go first. After a few moments, he decided that he would be the one to break the ice.
"Any questions or just ones about Seers and Shamans? I have some questions about my family that I really want answered or hopefully get answered." He paused for a few moments before deciding to jump on the questions that were cluttering his mind. "Is there anyway to purge a wolf of an inner demon?" Hopefully that one question might get all of the other questions answered in one fell swoop.
