the tribal gathering.

Townsmen with the shakes huddle around the glowing embers of what may have been a roaring fire. Speak quick, lest thee be to long in the open!

A very small wolf cub, not more than a few months old, comes bounding in while 'stalking' an oversized white moth. He jumps in the air finally catching the moth between his teeth and landing, clumsily, on the ground mere inches from Rothek.

His eyes adjust to his surroundings and he looks up trying to see those around him. He raises his head high enough and stands tremulously on his hind legs to see the gathering group. He sniffs hard, unbalancing himself, trying to decide if they are friendly or not.

He falls over backwards knocking his head and covering his mottled fur in dirt. He yelps, letting the moth trapped between his teeth escape.


"Owww!" he moans, rubbing his head with his paw.

No sooner did the small wolf cub fall did he see rothek and the robe clad man, when they came into view the other beastman cub ran up to both of them like an excited child to their parent

"Look alpha!! Cub catch mouse! Pointy ear help."

Holding his catch up proudly to show the beastman and the dark skinned human.

"Cub is ready for hunt now??"

Rothek nodded to the cubs catch approvingly and also nodded to serith with a grunt

"Well done my child, you are learning quickly. However it will be quite some time before you go on the hunt, now come back with the others" the robed man said guiding it back toward the beastmen

Rothek then turned to the cub that had been chasing the moth.

"Flying things hard to hunt and moth not taste good, wings are dry and too dusty.
Cub hunt slow things like beetle first then try hunt mouse or rabbit. Hunting take time you will learn, learn from tribe sisters and brothers. Learn from alpha. We go now, history telling happen when Bright circle pass below trees"

Rothek chuffed and nodded to the cub.

although the sun was begining to set and the citizens of haven were beginning to bed down for the night, the occasional grunts that came from where the beastmen had gathered were more often and now accompanied by howls and savage growling, the small fire in the middle of the beastmen was now a towering blaze that licked the tips of some nearby tree branches.

around the fire beastmen thumped the ground and jumped about in a dominant fashion, baring their fang and howling at the rising full moon.

the fire was now a smouldering pile and it looked as though many of the beastmen were heading back into the forest, there were still a few barks and growls but haven was beginning to become less populated with its furry visitors.

rothek sat with the dark skinned man and nodded from time to time, after a few minutes the man whistled and pointed his staff into the woods as if guiding the other beastmen toward the deep woods.

rothek remained at the site where the gathering had been and watched as the last of the beastmen disappeared into the forest then headed back to the tipsy traveler.
