The wolves in the caern gather in the open glen. There are many rocks surrounding a very large rock at the center that has strange runes carved in it. Most of your peers and elders seat themselves on the rocks--and it almost feels like some strange sort of ampitheatre.
Everyone's being really rowdy and excited. Even your father, who's usually pretty collected, seems more exciteable than usual.

Ulric will follow his father and try to sit by him unless he gets ushered to another area for some reason.

He allows you to follow him, but doesn't keep you on a leash. From across the gathering you hear a loud, hearty howl. After a few moments, others join in, forming a strange chord. You hear yips and growls, and it's a real cacophony.

For the moment, he's going to keep following his dad's lead. He doesn't want to make a fool of himself doing something out of place with garou custom. But in the back of his head he's also itching to change into lupus and join in the howl.

In Homid, your dad throws back his head and joins in for a moment, more reinforcing than trying to stand out.
You hear the howl begin to take shape. The Galliards howl in resonating chords that seem to inspire excitement, joy, and celebration. Mostly excitement, though.

Alright, what the heck, he cocks his head back and lets out a few howls.
"Ow, ow, owwwwwwwooooooo! Ow, ow, owwwwoooooooo."

James watches on silently, taking a seat near Ulric.

The howling continues for another moment, then drops off.
One of the elder Garou, approaches the stone tower in the center. He sports a large bone knife, as well as his fair share of scars. The air is nearly silent, but charged--a slight humming noise. He opens his hands wide to the stone, then begins to climb it.
Your father explains, "That's the Caller of the Wyld, Seeks the Moon. He is reaffirming our sept's bond with our totem, Eagle."'
Seeks begins speaking in a gutteral tongue as he slices open his paw with the bone blade. He slams his bleeding paw into the stone and practically shouts his chant now. Some of the Theurges, your father included, chime in. The rock begins to glow and hum, producing a faint image of an eagle perched upon the stone. It spreads its wings wide, and nods to the sept.

Ok, walking talking half wolves, that, he can understand. Rock's that have giant glowing eagles coming out of them? That just blows his mind. He sits in shocked silence as the scene unfolds before him. His mouth stands agape and his fingers dig into the rock below him.

Your father only smiles.
The old woman from earlier today stands and bows to the eagle. It dissapates in a puff of wind as Seeks jumps off the rock.
In a commanding voice, she speaks to her sept, "Does anyone have a bone to pick tonight?" You hear some snarls from across the way, indicating that the answer is decidedly yes...

Ulric looks for the source of the snarls.

It doesn't take you long to figure out where they're coming from as the two Garou with a score to settle take center stage. Without much of an introduction, they start going at it pretty hardcore.

"Is this how all quarrels are settled?" he asks his dad quietly.

"Some of the more severe ones, yes.... unfortunately. I hope they don't bang each other up too badly, we need them both in good health if we can help it."
He turns to James and keeps his voice down, "James--you didn't happen to bring the map I asked you for...?"
