Rites and Pacts

[Matt Joule]

Matt bends down to be dabbed with coffee and blood. He straightens up again, grinning.

He notes Nathaniel Dormur's poetic style with a slight shake of his head. Lit Major. Figures.

[Emily Makerith]

Emily's whole body snaps to Matt, and she growls a warning. "Quiet!"

On the inside though, worry was setting in.

Come on, you spiritual fuck. Where the hell are you....

Kelreth - not trying to rush you. Just making sure this doesn't get lost

[Kelreth]

Even once the Rite was complete, and it can take a long time depending on what and why is being called. Even then. Minutes tick by. Then, gradually, the sound of beating wings can be heard. Growing with each passing moment until what looks like a large owl wings into view. Circling overhead it glides lower and circles above the pack.

At one point it may have been the spirit of Great-horned owls. But all is Change and Humanity never stops encroaching A closer look at the spirit shows two sets of three eyes, each trio where one would normally be. The eyes glow the faint color of old tv static. Brown and tan feathers cover the rest of its body. At the end of each wing feather...almost looks like wires?

<<We Hear. Redwolf Daughter.>> It drops to the center of the circle. Wings flaring out to land gently. <<We Answer.>> Six eyes blink as the spirit tilts its head to look at the Wolf.

[Matt Joule]

Matt stares at the spirit, then watches Emily Makerith, to see what she will do or say next on behalf of the Pack.

[Emily Makerith]

<<You honour us with your coming.>> Emily growls out in the Spirit-tongue, bowing to the spirit.

The Ithaeur channels the spirit energy in her body, calling quietly on the wisdom of the Ithilumin spirits of the Cresent Moon Choir to learn about the spirit landing in front of them.

<<Our Pack has a deal we wish to make.>> She looks to Nate, nodding for him to take over.

This is her bag, y'all! Know Spirit with one success grants Emily knowledge of the Spirit's name, type and Rank.

[Nathaniel Dormur]

Nathaniel tapped into his harmony as he tapped the drums. It was a soft beat- audible for sure, but not loud- rather it was quiet, like a heartbeat from a wolf waiting in the bushes. The sound pulsed around the circle as the Fetish is activated.

<<Watcher of the Sky/ We ask for you assistance/ To stike at the Pure>>

The young pup's posture was confident. His voice not meek, his presence commanding- quite unlike from before.

<<Be our Watchful Eyes/ Allow us to prove our strength/ We will reward you>>

The words flowed normally, clearly.
<<Power for such help/ you would grow alongside us/ and would be repaid>>

[Brigit]

Brigit remains immovable from her place, watching the proceedings as the negotiations begin. However, she is neither Ithaeur nor Shaman and so says nothing. Emily and Nate got this handled.

Thus, Brigit remains, stoically looking on from her place in the circle.

[Kelreth]

Settled onto the ground the spirit looks at the edges towards the ground coffee before looking at the two Crescents. Then starts to scratch at dirt above the buried coffee grounds with a claw that ends with three talons that look like mirrors.

<<Watch yes, always Watching.>> Wings ruffle as it reaches down to peck at the coffee. <<Anshega offer power.>>

<<Power weak. Knowledge. Knowledge better.>> Eyes-with-Wings looks intently at Nathaniel and then Emily before looking over the rest of the Forsaken pack.

Emily's Know Spirit

A faint whisper trickles over both of Emily's ears for her ears alone. "The spirit is called <<Eyes-with-Wings>> and is a Conceptual Lesser Gaffling."

[Nathaniel Dormur]

The Spirit had accepted his offering, and he had his attention. That was good. A good first step.

It seemed Nathaniel had slipped the tongue- "knowledge" and "power" weren't always interchangable to some.

<<Knowledge we collect/Knowledge we will grow strong from/Knowledge we could share>>

Hopefully his words were a bit clearer now

<<You can test us here/ Test, that we may earn your eyes/ Let us Prove ourselves>>

The crescent continued to play the drums, continued the simple beat

<<Your eyes see so much/ see Gurihal and Hisil/ Eyes we would befriend>>

[Matt Joule]

Matt leans forward slightly, obviously interested. Knowledge is...interesting.
