Pocketing the water, Keanu rose from his stooped position by the pool. There was a little smile on the Uktena's face as he said, "Now all we need is the soil of a crossroads touched by Wyld and Weaver. It can't be too hard to find a hunter or a ranger's path through the park. After it's been cleansed we can collect some.. and then we're ready. Then it's only a matter of summoning Moonshine and making our offer."

Keanu was right of course, paths were everywhere but finding exactly what they were looking for was somewhat different, he wasn't sure how exactly to track a place touched by weaver, and wyld, which was also a crossroads.
As they journeyed out, the pack looked to Nine yet again to find their exact desire.

"All roads are of the Weaver, for they are the web which connects mankind." He further explained, his attention mainly focused on Nine Toes as she was the expert tracker amongst them. "One that's touched by the Wyld I imagine would be an old tracker's path.. or the well worn migrtion path of the beasts such as deer or elk. Though I don't know that the beasts would happen to make a crossroads.."

"Animals have their own trails of course, we just have to find one where an animals trail crosses path with the roads made by man. " she said, moving towards the deep wood where game was plentiful. She was sniffing for rabbit runs, a favorite food of hers, and a familiar smell. The park was home to snowshoe hares that shed their brown coats for winter white this time of year.
Once she found the narrow winding trails, marked by the signature footprint, trampled snow and tufts of white hair clinging to the brambles, shed follow it towards the nearest road. Many times the trail would end or turn away from the road, and Nine filled the time by talking about how to make snare traps on the trail. Eventually she'd find one that crossed one of the dirt gravel roads through the park, leading to a campsite. She crossed the road, picking up the trail on the other side.
" A crossroad where wild and weaver cross, traveled by prey and predator. Will this work?"

The theurge watched as the philidox worked, she was really something, but he kept such thoughts to himself and focused on following behind trying to learn what he could from her words, when she finally stopped on a path deep in the woods, clearly touched by man and others, he looked to Keanu for guidance. He knew this strange totem best, and was therefore more then happy to look for him for the answers.
Eli crouched down and ran his hands through the dirt, ready to once again initiate the ritual, to cleanse if his pack brother agreed.

Keanu listened closely to Nine Toes' lessons as they walked, also taking the time to note the subtle signs which marked the rabbits' trail. For him it was more than just gaining new and useful information.. As an adopted Uktena, he felt it very important to learn and know as much knowledge as he could from the Pure Ones of Pure Blood.
When they came to the potential crossroads, excitement was evident in the Theurge's expression and through the pack link. He nodded enthusiastically towards Eli. "This will work.. it may be better than I'd hoped to find actually." Even as he spoke he was digging out another reed pouch to collect the purified samples once Eli's ritual was complete.

The Fenrir pulled free the branch he had brought with him for this ritual and began to work, some 10 minutes of the same chanting he had done earlier with the water. it took a little more time then the water which had a good deal more purity but once it was done he placed this into Keanus container as well.
"So this is the chiminage assembled, does he require anything more from us pack brother?"
He rises looking around for a spot where the ritual of summoning could be done, or would it be better to travel into the Umbra in search of the avatar.
Once again he turned to Keanu for answers.

The Theurge was quite pleased by the offering they had assembled, and his wide smile was a testament to the feeling. "These two gifts should be enough to earn his ear and appease the great one. There is thought in them and both connect to his spiritual nature and mission.. We should be ready. As for how best to reach him.."
He paused a moment to consider this, glancing up to the sky as if the answer laid written there in the stars. After a moment of quiet thought he looked back to his pack. "Moonshine's residence lays near to his older sister Sokhta's on the surface of the Umbral moon in the Aetherial Realm. But as a wandering mendicant and defender, the Man on the Moon may only be found there under the New Moon when Luna hides her face.. This is why there is no moonlight under the Ragabash moon and darkness reigns. The rest of the time.. He travels to all places and all realms where Luna's light reaches.. So outside of the New Moon, it may be easiest for us to summon his attention."

The lupus sat for a moment while there was discussion to be had. She listened to the Theurges for a moment. " Anywhere the Luna's light shines?
* The wolf looked to the sky. * "Well the Ragabash moon has past, and Luna turns towards us. Perhaps we should search the Prenumbra for shafts of moonlight until we find one where there are lunes? Surely they are servants of Moonshine as well as Luna herself?" she asked, not sure if that was correct, but it sounded like it made sense.
