《Druidification》Chapter 187

As the Council stared on, bewildered at the scene before them and what had just happened, Sheera just started eating up the food she had brought out. After all, it was tasty at breakfast and still tasty now. Why wouldn't she eat it. Although she did get chided for how much she was eating by Charlene, causing her to put all but three of the sets back inside first. More than before, Sheera actually understood the reasoning on why Charlene wanted her to hold back on eating so much. And while she did not question it, Charlene certainly noticed. Normally it was more of a fight to get the cougar to eat less food when there was a lot accessible. When she gave up easily and quickly put back the plates, Charlene made a mental note to check with why in the future.
Thinking upon that reminded her of that possibility. "Also, from what we have been able to figure out, not only does Sheera understand what we all are saying, but she can also communicate with me telepathically. That's the only reason we have been able to discover stuff such as what we believe to have been the cause of this massive change." Charlene added, which only seemed to both add to the confusion of the Council as well as fill them with curiosity. "She seems to be speaking to me in English as far as I can tell, but that is probably due to it being my Native language."
"Sure, that sounds interesting and could help quite a bit in the future. But I feel that I speak for all of us when I say that we are far more interested in what had caused all of this. What changed everything that we know. Why the technology we had been using yesterday no longer functions." The Chief replied. His words were full of curiosity and wonder, but laced with undertones of worry and apprehension. Which made perfect sense, as if something came by and changed everything once, what was to say that it wouldn't happen again. It would be a rough time for everyone if they got used to this way of life, with how everything changed, only to have it change on them in a flash all over again.

"From what we have been able to piece together, a wave of green energy washed over the entire area from the east, potentially the entire world. No idea on whether or not the source of it was even on this continent to be honest. That's all we have sadly, not enough to be able to figure out anything else." Matis responded. Collectively, a massive sigh came up from all of the Council members. Their curiosity had been peaked, but the answer left them wanting. They had been hoping for something more dramatic, a more telling tale of events. Instead, all that they got was just one more piece of a puzzle. And it wasn't even an edge piece.
"Well, thank you for all of the info nonetheless. If you three would be so inclined, perhaps you would want to stay the night here with us? The cars don't work after all, and three more mouths to feed now that we shouldn't have any issues for supplies will be no issue at all." As the Chief said this, the rest of the Council members nodded in agreement. Of course, to them the whole reasoning was superficial to them. They saw the Vilkas family as part of their own, and were more than happy to have them around for a bit longer. Of course, the three of them readily agreed, Sheera seeming more excited due to the mention of more food.
The next few hours before night fall were incredibly busy. Word was spread out about the ability to store items and food inside with the help of bonded animals. Matis went around, helping people who needed medical attention and setting up their tent in a nearby grove of trees. People were happy to see and talk with them, and even gave a hand when he was trying to set up. Unsurprisingly, it went far smoother than when he was attempting to get help from Sheera before. All that did was cement the idea that she had been doing it just to mess with him. Sheera spent the time walking around with Charlene. Together they did much of the same as Matis did, with the exception of duplicating any supplies that they found. They built up their stocks, while sharing their medical supplies with the people who had bonded to either their pets or livestock. No one asked for more or less, as it was just an equal sharing of goods to help one another.

The meal turned out to be one that was far more traditional to the Dene Th'a. People had gone out hunting a few days prior and had come back with a hearty catch. Added to the ability to duplicate food, and there became a feast of hare, fish and caribou. Drinks were passed around, laughs were shared, and tales of those they had lost were told. Instead of falling into sadness and grief, the people tried to honour the memory of their family and friends. The tales were exaggerated to a degree, and filled with heroism and bravery. They did their best to remember them for who they were, as there would be plenty of time to miss their presence in the days to come. As the festivities wound down and people started to settle for the night, watches were set up and organized. Knowing that they would be watched over as well, the Vilkas' tried to join in on the rotation. However, the people would not have it. They were guests, and as such had to rest. It wasn't even just the Council that told them this, but majority of the people around joined in on the movement. Realizing that they had no choice of winning, they bid everyone a good night, before crawling into their tent.
