Of Wolf and Man
Its a little before dawn. The circles are drawn, the spirits have been called. There's food and drink laid out for family and any friends who want to witness the ritual and who have been invited by Danielle, though everyone except Danielle has been instructed to remain outside the circle and keep any talk quiet and between themselves.

Lucas has been in meditation for over an hour, communing with the spirits of the area and one in particular, preparing the introductions and making sure he has the stories right.

At ten minutes before sunrise he looks to the gathered. "We have a few minutes. If there is any questions or concerns, now is the time. When Danielle steps into this circle, I must request we have no further interruptions or it risks everything. You may talk among yourselves, but not to either of us, and neither of us can leave the circle for any reason or the ritual will fail. We'll be here til sunset. Feel free to come and go, but please keep it quiet once the sun is rising. Everything is ready, and we have a few minutes. Any questions?"

	She's helped up slowly. Every step feels so strange. And finally, with a deep breath, she steps over and is nearly pounced upon. She understandably has the family's full attention. Except Moira's. Not that she isn't simultaneously overjoyed and worried for her sister, but Danielle's in good hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lucas remains at the edge of the circle. He's almost done, but not quite, needing to find strength for a last few moments.

"Mother Earth, Father Sky, your child and servant thanks you for your blessings and strength. Now I must go into the world once more, but I take your blessings with me, and see your world through new eyes in each new day. Please bless this ground and find it to your liking.

Tehya Sockalexis, thank you for your generosity, and I hope these gifts will please you, that your hands are put to good works, that your voice is raised in the river's song, that your feet walk once more upon Earth mother, that your face feels the caress of Father Sky.

Spirits who have attended, please see this day as holy. Do not look with hate upon the outsider given our gifts, but see the ways expanded, understood, and given thanks for. Give Tehya Sockalexis and Danielle Hrimharisdottir your blessings, that both may appreciate this union in all the days they share it. I thank you for your patience, and for your gifts. Without you I am nothing.

He turns to the North.
"I thank the spirits of the north for cold winds, to remind us winter always comes again, so we must be ready."
East
"The East for reminding us of the blessings of the sea, they cool and soothe us."
South
"The south for warmth and light and coming of new Spring."
West
"The west for fertility and bounty, the lands where things will grow in season."

One more deep breath. "I have been honored this day to be called as Shaman, to heal, to soothe, to bless. Thank you Earth Mother, thank you Sky Father, spirits of all the winds and ways. And with this thanks, I go into the world, and close this circle."

He rubs a foot over the circle's edge, blurring it in the dirt. The circle closed, his job done, he collapses.

Moira catches him -- he's hardly heavy to her. Shortly, if he' still conscious, there'll be some water -- just a little, she knows better than to give him too much at once. She'll also encourage the logical solution to the whole consciousness thing as soon as he's got something in him.

The two of them are going to be hovered over as much as they'll allow the next few days.

	He's conscious, and certainly grateful. Just weak, exhausted, starving and dehydrated. He's definitely going to need her help, especially with all that's still being done for Christmas. Independent as he usually is, he's also definitely not minding the hovering. Especially when its Moira. (Reply to this)(Parent)
