Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kelila opened a single eye as she rest up against the tree and looked up, as Kaskae mentioned about announcing The start of the ceremony once the others have arrived, " That would be lovely, I still need to present my gift after all" She said snuggling further up to the tree taking a rest from all the activity.

She had already placed the basket of shells where they should be for the ceremony. she then noticed Nanuq. sighing. She felt for some reason she should apologize for something she knew little about. She wasn't the type to fall for a individual easily. even kaskae was trying to win her over, with little to no successes. she smirked though. if he really wanted to try and win her heart, he was going to have make the initiative to say Hello. as Ice moves for no man unless they' re willing to help it melt. but she felt bad. about it. maybe tomorrow she might apologize, to clear her mind.

Scorpio was one of the many pack member who volunteered to help clean up the cemetary for Ember's mother. When Scorpio had just returned home to rest word had spread fast about Ember's mother passing. Although Scorpio was very exhausted after the celebration he thought about how wonderful it was to dance with Artemis last night. Scorpio knew that if he wanted the oppurtunity to date Artemis and have Akela's approval. It was time for Scorpio begin improving and shaping his character. He knew it was not going to be easy work and hoped it would help him win her in the end. Scorpio didn't get much rest and had volunteered amongst the rest once hearing the news. He had caught sight of Artemis while he was working but noticed she was quite busy. Once Scorpio was done with the tasks given to him he raced home to get dressed. His plan was to go home to get ready than go pick up Artemis from the Alpha quarters. Although he had over heard she was already on her way to the cemetary accompanied by her father. "Ahh. . .well." he shrugged. Scorpio decided to make his way over to the cemetary before her and decided to pop in on his brother Sagittarius. He went looking for him around the morgue where he wasn't alone. Just arriving as well was Lulu and Lusio.

"Everything looks good and ready. People are gathering." he shared. "Lulu, Lusio, and Sag." he nodded acknowledging respectfully. "Why, don't I give you a hand with Ember's mother. You could use an extra pair of hands. Perhaps several." he said volunteering himself and than inviting Lusio to join them. "Lulu, could cue us when to drive." he suggested.

Sagittarius was checking the reigns on Silver and Sable. Meanwhile had just began talking with Lulu and Lusio. Suddenly interupting "Everything looks good and ready. People are gathering." said his brother Scorpio. Scorpio than volunteered to help Sag while inviting Lusio. Scorpio, also suggested perhaps Lulu give the cue.

"Scorpio.....where have you been? Hey, you look sharp little brother." he complements with a smirk walking over to fix his tie. Sagittarius was very delighted when Scorpio volunteered to assist him. "Of coarse you can help me." he smiled proudly and was surprised by his little brother's suggestions. "Good idea, Scorpio. Lusio, wish to join and assist us? While Lulu walks over to the entrance and gives us a cue. Once everyone has arrived of coarse especially Ember and the Alpha's." he said looking at Lulu and Lusio for agreement.

Artemis enjoyed walking with her father straight over to Moonrise. Although something was different about their walk over to Moonrise. Artemis found her father very quiet and not talkative. Once reaching Moonrise and walking toward the front than letting her go. He said "tell your sister i want you both to wait around after this so as I may talk to you" than send her off with a kiss to mingle. Artemis walked away from Akela very puzzled. "Were they in that much trouble?" she asked herself. She wanted to turn around and ask her father. "Father, how have I failed to please you?" Than her thoughts reminded her of their previous disobedience for not returning home when asked. " Oh, Procya...." he sighed and shook her head. Artemis, knew she would share whatever punishment awaits them. She could have allowed Aden to escort her home but she followed Procya. The right choice had been before her. She gave a sigh and began greeting pack members arriving.

Solara had followed Nayru with Clover, Sarah, Lynn, and Reenha to Moonrise Garden for the funeral being held for Ember's mother. Solara allowed Reenha to walk with the pups on their way there, allowing her to make friends. When they arrived to the gazebo did Solara look around at the beauty of the place that was wrapped in pretty blues and flowers. She search the perimeters wondering of her son's where about, knowing that he is probably with Lulu. She gave a sigh as she spotted the very spot where the coffin will be place. To lose one's parent was heart breaking. Then, a little trickle of smile appeared on her face when spotting Artemis with her father Akela.

Solara gave a small respectful bow before the alpha. "Artemis. Akela," she greeted. Also not seeing Procya. "I see Procya did not come with the both of you," she said.

Farore returned to the sight after storming off before. She had quickly went back home to dress in something more comfortable then a lace gown, and now wore a black strapless dress that flowed down to her feet. Her long green emerald hair flowed over her shoulders in it's natural curls and wore blue beads around her neck. Farore still felt a little tense from the idiot Nanuq but was calm enough to appear fresher at the funeral and looked around the area for her sisters, not wanting to sit with Nanuq. When she had finally spotted Nayru and Clover with Lady Solara, Reenha, Sarah, and Lynn did Farore began to walk over.

As Farore walked, she began to think to herself. Was it right for her to get mad at Nanuq like she did? Yes, she offered to help Nanuq to try and win Kelila even if it was a bit hurtful when she notice him make googly eyes at woman while they danced. Was she jealous? No, she couldn't be. Nanuq was her friend but when she tried offering him help to get Kelila, Nanuq didn't go over to Kelila quick enough. Then saying his anti-love and brought Farore into the picture and... Farore than quickly shook her head as all these thoughts soon consumed her head and finally reached her sister and Clover with Solara, Sarah, Lynn, and a new pup with Solara. She didn't look like one of Solara's pups or anyone else's. "Hello everyone," she greeted. "And who is this cutely?" kneeling to scratch Reenha's chin.

(( Hay Axzuli, we had included you and Lynn.))

Lulu stood in front of the two horses, Sable and Silver. She was petting them both on the muzzle and smiled at the two beautiful creatures. Then she heard Sagittarius mention a cue for them to enter the cemetery. Then Lusio nodded to Lulu and said, "Go on." She nodded back to him. "I think the best thing to do is wait for Ember and the Alpha's to arrive. . ." Then her ear twitched slightly. "In matter of fact, they have arrived. I will run down there and announce that the carriage is on its way." Lulu smiled at them all and before heading off, she kissed Lusio on the cheek. Quickly, she turned into her wolf form and ran down the hill quickly.
Once reaching the cemetery, Lulu jumped onto a large rock and howled loudly for all to hear. Then turned back into her human form, she took a deep breath, Then announced:

"Dear Friends and Family of Faith (Ember's mother),

We have gathered in this cold wintry night to give our condolences and love to Ember, and to wish her mother a restful and peaceful sleep. The carriage that carries her will be here momentarily. Please rise and show your respects for the woman who has passed to the afterlife. To where she will remain watching over her dear daughter, Ember."

To that, Lulu bowed her head to them all and jumped off the rock, landing gracefully upon the ground. She awaited for the carriage to enter through the gates of the cemetery.


Sarah walked along side Solara, while the pups followed close by. The Healer observed the area, it was a beautiful site. With flowers, bows, and ribbons. "It looks beautiful," she smiled then saw the Alpha and his daughter. "Greetings," she bowed her head to them both. Then she raised an eyebrow of why Procya was not with her father. "And Andromeda? Will she be here tonight?" Then her attention quickly turned towards Farore, "That, my dear, is Reenha. Solara found this adorable little pup." She smiled as Farora scratched beneath the pups chin.

((I apologize for my absence everyone. . . I am currently in a rough situation. . . I will be leaving my home of North Carolina to move up North for a little bit. I am leaving my boyfriend and one of my dogs behind. . .Which saddens me greatly. But the distance will only be for a couple of months. . .So I do apologize for the lack of appearance.))

Solara looked to Farore who had joined their group and smiled when she asked about Reenha. Sarah had introduce the pup but sighed when Reenha got scared of Farore. She gave a small smile then picked up the little girl, "I had found Reenha during the party as she wondered in lost. So, I shall be caring for the pup now," then rubbing Reenha's head. "It's ok sweetie. Farore won't hurt you," comforting the pup and kissed her head sweetly. Then her senses twitching to the sound of a howl which caused her to look on over to Lulu standing on a rock. She had announce for tonight's event but where was Ember?

Farore frowned when Reenha got scared of her. She won't blame the pup, she was a stranger to Reenha after all but glad that Solara was going to take in the pup. Solara was a very sweet and motherly woman and she'll do a fine job. After all, she had raised Lusio and Atreyu. "I'm sorry if I scared you Reenha," beginning with an apology to the pup. Then forming a stargazer lily into her hand to give to Reenha as a peace offering. "I am Farore. I am a huntress," introducing herself.

Ember walked arm in arm with Zuleika to the cemetery, there walk was somewhat quiet, only talking every now and then. She had thanked Zukeika over and over again, and said that they should one day go to the beach, it would be a lot of fun. As they neared the cemetery Ember slowed her steps down some, but the feeling of Zuleika next to her drove her on. With a deep breath she walked into the entrance of the doors and instantly stopped in her tracks. The decorations all around the cemetery were beautiful and set up amazingly, it brought tears to her eyes. It was everything and more than what she had imagined, it made her wish her mother Faith was here to see this.

She had heard the howl and the announcement, but was afraid to make herself known to the others. What if they were mad at her for causing their time of rest to come to a short time because of the death of her mother? Even though their faces were solemn looking or smiling as they tried to cheer up Ember, she could see the tired look in their eyes. Slowly she made her way to the front of the group and stood there sort of absently as she looked at them and spoke. "Thank you all for coming....and for the short notice and time you took to prepare the cemetery for my mothers funeral. I can't tell you all how happy it makes me feel, and I'm sorry that it caused many of you to stay awake for an extra amount of time. But I can never tell you all how much this means to me that you have done this for my mother and for me. Thank you." Tears slipped down her face as she turned away from them and moved to the tombstone next to where her mother was going to be buried.

On the tombstone it read the name of her brother Corro and his date of birth and death, then it read, 'Loyalty doesn't mean to stay in one place, loyalty means to go where others can't.' It was something he had told her all the time when she was lost and needed help in figuring out what to do, he was like her young wise man. "Oh Corro...I'm so sorry I couldn't have been here, but I'm here now and I'll never leave again." Her hands ran across the tombstone as she leaned down and kissed the stone, her hand gripping tightly onto the conch shell.

((Sorry I took so long to write, was a little lost for words, and was having troubles trying to figure out what to write.))

Asariel had stood quiet watching people coming to the cemetery for today's funeral ceremony. Then noticing that Bellatrix had come to speak with Ariella after over hearing his sister speak to herself. Smiling as the two women spoke. He was glad that Ariella was able to make friends in the Moon Pack. But when Ariella explain to Bellatrix of their people did Asariel's smile fade as he remembered the life they had before here. As beautiful their people were, they were prejudice and since he and sister were only half angelic were they considered dirty blood. Then Asariel smiled back to his sister when her speech warmed up again for their reason being in the Moon pack and speaking with Bellatrix of her own new experience. Which he found interesting. A society of women.

Asariel chuckled when Ariella had forgotten to introduce Bella to him. "Pleasure," he greeted Bellatrix in a short bow. "It is an honor to meet he an Amazon," he spoke pleasantly... When the alphas and Ember arrived it was time to be seated for the ceremony to begin. He lead the women to their seats, welcoming Bellatrix to sit with them.
