Natil looks suddenly down to the young wolf who seems so angry with their presense. He smiles kindly to her, the smile of a grandfather or benefactor. "I am Natil, child. Perhaps you should put away your snarl and meet the others, as well?" His tone is not scolding, always kind, always loving. He gives Wolfe an encouraging, friendly look, then turns his eyes to Piper.

"Child of the GreatOne's daughter," he speaks softly to the pup, "do not fear, and do not have sorrow. Your mother is with you. Her eyes watch over you, as Kmitza, your grandmoter, smiles upon you. As she does all of us. You are not alone."

His attention returns to the others now, and he looks at each of them, individually, one at a time. He fears for them, all so young, so new to this, and in a way, so alone. But his heart knows, if they try, they can succeed here. They will live. "I am afraid I cannot stay with you any longer. All of you have come here for a purpose, because you remember, because the OldWays, the light and love of your souls, have drawn you here. Remember that. And remember the curse that shadows you, let it keep you vigilant."

"To live together now, to become a pack, a Clan, you shall have to know one another, and learn to love one another. We are all a family, whether our blood is linked or not. You must be ever true to one another; stay loyal and close. Find a strong foundation in eachother. You are a pack." Here he pauses, smiling. "If others come, teach them as best you can what I have told you in my brief time. But ever if you need guidance, I will be with you, you need only call upon me."

With that, he gives each wolf, in turn, a loving nuzzle. He smiles one last time, bows his head to them, and trots�as best he can�into the shadows of the forest. He will not pass over before them, but he will stay with them, guiding, helping, watching...

(OOC-adding in, after the "let it keep you vigilat") "And also beware," Natil warns, more serious now, "of a growing evil. DeathMakers are regrouping near here. I fear their numbers will multiply quickly. Be cautious of them." (NT)	Natil	20:06:21 06/27/02 Thu
