Legion-6 and his escorts joined the crowd. The crowd made way for them when they noticed the two Betas. They made their way through the crowd until they reached someplace close to the center where the pack leader was. They stopped there and waited for the ceremony to be over. The pack leader was speaking when they arrived. He noticed their arrival but he didn't stop talking.
"...and so we will lay our fallen warriors today in the embrace of their ancestors. They fought bravely and with honor. They have done me proud so I shall allow them to be in peace with our ancestors."
The crowd listened silently as he spoke. No one moved or spoke. Even the children were quiet and solemn. The entire atmosphere of the assembly was solemn. A lot of warriors died today so they are being buried at the totem pole. It is where all their ancestors have been buried. It is an act that is more than a simple tradition. There is some significance to the act of sending their warriors to their ancestors.
