Notes:
    Each pack leader introduces themselves at the feast. Yes I know this chapter is unnecessarily long just for introductions.
Warnings: none

    The tables had been set up in an enormous circular shape (as much as it could be with long tables). At one of the flat ends, at one of the longest tables sat Merlin, Rose on his right, with Arthur on his left. Each of his subordinates sat around the longest table on either side and took up another few tables. The same could be said for Adrian who sat on the other end, his mates, Lacey and Ewan, on either side of him.
    Those that had large packs with them--such as Merida and Braith--took up multiple tables like Merlin and Adrian did. Those with smaller packs--such as Hiccup and Isadora--took up only a table or two. Most packs, however, only brought a handful of the members in their pack, these sharing tables.
    As everyone was seated, each of the farmhands and a few servants in Adrian's pack began filling glasses with water, goblets with wine, tankards with mead, teacups and kettles with hot tea, bottles of beer, and cans of soda for the humans and more recently turned weres. In certain spots, larger goblets or glasses were provided such as with the na'vi weres as they were usually between 9 and 10 feet tall and with Sapphira's pack as they celebrated with enormous goblets of water and white wine.
    Merlin had helped set things up for awhile until Adrian gave him a dirty glare and spoke through gritted teeth, "You are an Alpha. Sit down and let the underlings do their work."
    "I don't mind." Merlin replied nonchalantly.
    "Alpha Emrys, I really must insist. You are embarrassing us." When Merlin glanced up, Adrian looked like he could kill with his glare. "Sit. Now." He commanded.
    Merlin scoffed, finished his table, and sat down to let the others finish. Adrian shook his head. In his opinion, what Merlin had done was highly improper for someone of his standing.
    Once everyone had a drink, Adrian stood and raised his wine glass. "Hello everyone and welcome to Whispering Pines. Today, we come together to celebrate as one. Though we come from multiple different packs from all over the world, each with their own people's, their own customs, and their own rules, we remain as one in our hearts, united by our beliefs and one special purpose--to save the world and all its people--human, were, caster, and the like from certain destruction at the hands of our enemies.
    "So as we celebrate, as we feast, wine and dine, dance, party, and even rut together before the full moon, let us be closer than ever, let us congregate as a family for that's what we are--a family after all."
    Another Alpha stood up, this one a female with dark skin, bicolored hair, and an eloquent gaze. "And we should thank Mother Wolf and the Goddess herself that we are together this night!" She shouted in excitement, making the crowd of weres whoop and holler in agreement. "For we are family and no matter what happens from here onward, we are together. Even if we are captured, imprisoned, tortured, or killed, we die with family and that's something they can never take from us!"
    "Here here!" Eira said, holding up a bottle of champagne in excitement before pouring herself a glass and lounging next to Odin.
    Adrian cleared his throat. "As I was saying, "Let us congregate as a family. Before we celebrate, however, I would like for each of us to introduce ourselves. Every Alpha Pack Leader here today, I want each of you to stand and introduce yourselves, your mates, your families, whomever you've brought, your packs, and where you hail from so we may get to know our brethren better.
    "I'll start. I am Adrian, Alpha of the Dalimar Pack, one of the many descendants of the original Snow White and the original Merlin, hailing from here in Whispering Pines, originally from a land far away. These are my mates." Here he gestured for the two Omegas on either side of him to stand. One was a gorgeous blond female with a shy yet intense gaze, the other a male dressed similarly to the knights in Merlin's pack. "My Omega Vixen, Lacey, and my other Omega mate, Ewan."
    Merlin stood at this point. "I am Merlin, not the original but his namesake, Alpha of the Emrys Pack, hailing from Wolf Haven but originally from many locations, most notable Camelot. This is my Omega Vixen, Rose. I am joined today by my brothers, Arthur and Cenred, along with their mates, my knights and their mates, and a few other members of my pack."
    Snow and David stood up next. "I am Snow White, standing in for Regina, Alpha of the Storybrooke Pack, as I am her second. We hail from Wolf Haven but originally came from the Enchanted Forest in Misthaven followed by Storybrooke on the human world before the packs merged. I am joined today by my Beta Vixen, David, and a few of my friends."
     "I am Queen Isadora, Alpha of the Wonderland Pack. We hail from Wonderland in Wolf Haven. Today I am joined by the ladies and gentlemen of my court."
     "I am Blue, the main Fairy godmother, daughter of Fairy Godmother, and granddaughter of Nana, the original fairy godmother. I am Alpha of the Fae Pack, hailing from all over but mostly the Realm of Fairies. I am joined today by two of my subordinates, Red and White." She gestured to two silent fairies in similar outfits to hers, one in a red shade, the other in a white shade.
    Maleficent stood abruptly. "I am Maleficent and I must say not all faes follow Blue blindly. I am Alpha of the Moors, the first pack of faes. Accompanying me today are a few of my fairies and a few sprites."
    Blue scoffed at Maleficent's words. Other faes spoke up at this point. A redheaded male Alpha stood with his hand entwined with a brunette female Omega. "I'm Prince Cornelius of the Wild Fairies and this is my Omega Vixen, Thumbelina."
     "I'm Nova, a lone fae were."
     "I'm Crysta, Beta leader of the Ferngully Pack, which is where we hail from."
    An older were, a Gama, with white hair in a blue dress with a large pink bow at its front, stood. "My name is Nana, the original fairy godmother. I am a lone fae were and the Headmistress of Fairy Academy."
    Three older fairies, a little younger than Nana, stood. "I am Flora." "I'm Fauna." "And I'm Merriweather." "And we are lone fae weres, headmistresses at Royal Prep."
    A younger fairy with brown hair in a golden dress that matched her wings, stood next. "I am Queen Clarion, Alpha of Pixie Hollow."
    A gorgeous fae woman stood. "I am Enchantress, Alpha of Fairytopia Pack, hailing from Fairytopia."
    Another gorgeous fae woman followed suit. "I am Queen Marabella, Alpha of Flutterfield, here with my son, Carlos."
    A beautiful younger fae woman stood. "I am Princess Catania, Alpha of Shimmervale."
    Another beautiful fae stood. "I am Queen Lavender, Alpha of Swan Lake."
    Castiel cleared his throat as he motioned for the Winchester brothers to stand with him and Luna. "I am Castiel and this is my Omega Vixen, Luna, here with my brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester." Sam and Dean waved as they announced themselves. "We are the Alphas of the Winchester Pack, hailing from Wolf Haven."
     "I am Iseldir, Gama of the Druid Pack. I have brought my entire pack with me today."
    An unfamiliar female Alpha with curly brown locks and brown eyes stood. "I am Queenie, Alpha of the Nomad Pack. I'm joined here today by my entire pack."
    "I am Esmeralda, Alpha of the Gypsy Pack. I come with my entire pack this day."
    "I am Sapphira, Alpha of the Warrior Pack, hailing from Wolf Haven. I'm joined by my mates, Carter and Theo."
    "I'm Sola, Alpha of the Spiritual Pack, hailing from Wolf Haven. I come alone."
     "I'm Neytiri, daughter of Sola, and Alpha of the Na'vi Pack, hailing from Wolf Haven but originally Pandora. I come alone."
     "I am Lucian, Alpha of the First Pack as I was the first to occupy Wolf Haven. I come alone to these celebrations." He rumbled.
     "I am Raven Queen, daughter of Evil Queen Grimhilde, adoptive daughter of Queen Regina, Alpha of the Ever After Pack, hailing originally from a far away kingdom but currently residing in Wolf Haven. I'm joined by my mates, my Omega Vixen, Apple White, and Dexter Charming, as well as some friends, the sons and daughters of various Cinderella's, Snow White's, Sleeping Beauties, and a few others."
     "I'm King Ben, son of Beauty and her Beast, Alpha of the Descendants Pack and creator of Operation Descendants, hailing originally from Auradon but currently Wolf Haven. I am here with my mate, Mal, daughter of Maleficent, and some friends of ours: Evie, Doug, Jay, Carlos, Uma, Harry, Gil, Jane, Dizzy, Celia, and Audrey."
     "I'm Shepard, Alpha of the Shepard Pack, hailing from various farms and reservations. I'm joined by my entire pack."
    Surprisingly, Robin wasn't there, which caused Little John to stand with Roland on his shoulder. "I'm Little John and this is Will Scarlet, standing in for Beta Leader Robin Hood. We hail from Sherwood Forest and other forest-y areas. And, uh, we're here alone, save for little Roland here."
     "I am Peter Pan, Alpha of Neverland Pack, originally hailing from Neverland, joined by my second, Felix, and newest additions, Tinker Bell and Tiger Lily."
    Merida stood next. "I'm Queen Merida, Queen of the five clans, Alpha of Dunbroch Pack, hailing from Dunbroch in Scotland. I have brought my entire pack with me, led by the leaders of all five clans. Dunbroch."
     "MacGuffin."
     "Macintosh."
     "Dingwall."
     "And McLeod." With each name announced, the leaders of each stood up. At the last, Duncan and Rowena stood.
     Hiccup stood next. "I'm Hiccup Haddock, Alpha of the Dragon Riders Pack, stand in Leader of the Nordic Vikings. We hail from Berk, an island that snows most of the year. I'm joined today by my Alpha Vixen, Astrid, and my most trusted friends, Fishlegs, the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, and Snotlout, along with all our dragons, Toothless, Stormfly, Meatlug, Barf and Belch, and Hookfang."
    The dragons were perched nearby, awaiting food.
    With Hiccup finished, another Alpha made to stand when a sudden shout came from beyond the rise. A tall Nordic Viking arrived, a few more following suit. "I am Stoick the Vast, father of Hiccup, Alpha of the Berk Pack, Leader of the Nordic Vikings and I bring my dragon, Skullcrusher, my oldest and dearest friend, Gobber, his dragon, Grump, and the child of an old friend, Heather, with her dragon, Windshear."
    Hiccup embraced his father and the others, the group sitting down together to await the feast.
     At that moment, Kida stood. "My name is Kidagaskash but everyone calls me Kida. I'm Alpha of the Atlantis Pack, a peoples that existed long before weres. We were turned by Mother Lupa herself who caused our civilization to regain our numbers. I am joined by my Beta Vixen, Milo, a former protector of weres, and a few guards."
     Irene stood and cleared her throat, trying to speak in a clear, calm voice. "Hello, everyone. I am Princess Irene, Leader of Irene's Pack, hailing from a kingdom in the north, currently in Wolf Haven. I am joined by my grandmother, my namesake, and my friend, Curdie."
    A tall red-haired were in armor stood. "I am Sirzechs Lucifer, fourth eldest of the Archangels, Alpha over most of the Big Four. I come alone this day."
    "I am Rias Gremory, youngest of the Archangels, one of the Heads of Devils, Alpha of the Devils Pack as it was turned over to me by my brother. We hail from the Underworld itself then Japan though we moved to Wolf Haven after the last Great War. I am joined by my entire pack today: Akeno Himejima, Xenovia Quarta, Rossweisse Valkyrie, Yuuto Kiba, Koneko Toujou, Gasper Vladi, Asia Argento, and Issei Hyoudou."
     "I am Alastor, Alpha of the Demons Pack. I hail from the Underworld as well but also moved to Wolf Haven after the last Great War. I am joined by my usual entourage: Lilith, Crowley, Belphegor, Daeva, Isabeau, Dyson, Kenzi, Shade, Amaya, Phoenix, Stolas, Ebony, Lucius, Donovan, and Orpheus."
     "I am Lord Azazel, Alpha of the Fallen Angels Pack, hailing first from Heaven then here. I'm joined by my usual entourage as well: Cam, Shemhazai, Baraquiel, Samael, Azrael, Raythe, and Dagon."
     "I am Lord Michael, eldest of the Archangels, Alpha of the Angels Pack, hailing from Heaven then Wolf Haven after the last Great War. Like the others, I am joined by my usual entourage: Gabriel, Raphael, Metatron, Uriel, Zachariah, Anna, Gadreel, Naomi, Balthazar, and Serafall Leviathan."
     "I am Evangeline, Alpha of the Enchanted Pack. I hail from Wolf Haven and come alone this day."
     "I am Arya Dröttningu, Princess of Ellesmera, Alpha of the Elves Pack. I hail originally from Ellesmera in Algaesia and come alone this day, aside from my dragon, Fírnen."
     Eragon stood immediately after, preventing another from speaking up. "I'm Eragon, Beta Leader of the Resistance Pack. I hail from Carvahall in Algaesia. I am joined by my dragon, Sapphira, my half brother, Murtagh, and his dragon, Thorn, and my cousin, Roran."
    An unfamiliar dark skinned woman stood next. "I am Lady Nasuada, Queen of Algaesia, Alpha of the Algaesia Pack. I come alone this day."
     A dwarf stood then. "I am King Orik, King of the Dwarves and Alpha of the Dwarven Pack. We hail from Tronjheim in Farthen Dûr. I come alone."
     Another dwarf stood after him. "I am Grettir, a lone dwarf, hailing from the Perilous Lands."
     An old were in a magnificent cloak, carrying a trident, stood shakily. "I am the Fisher King. I am a Gama that once ruled the Perilous Lands before they were uninhabitable. I come alone today."
    Another male were holding a trident stood. "I am King Triton, Alpha and King of the Sea, specifically Atlantica, where we hail from. I bring my daughters with me today."

    A group of five stood. "I'm Peter Pevensie, High King of Narnia, and this are my siblings." Said the oldest male. "I'm High Queen Susan and this is my Beta mate, Prince Caspian." "I'm King Edmund." "I'm Queen Lucy."
     A giant golden lion stood next to them. "And I am Aslan, original King of Narnia. No, I no longer shift before you ask. We come together for this celebration."
     Mavis stood next. "My name is Mavis, daughter of Dracula, granddaughter of Vlad the Impaler, Princess of Vampire-weres, and Alpha of of Dark Pack. I hail originally from Transylvania, Romania, joined today by Beta mate, Johnny."

For a time, I resided there with my first mate, my Omega Vixen, Victoria, before I ended up in the Underworld where I met my second mate, Alpha Emily."

     An unfamiliar blond haired were spoke up. "I'm King Randolph, Alpha of the Muse Pack, a pack created for the purpose of joy, music, and dancing. I'm joined by my daughters, Ashlyn, Blair, Courtney, Delia, Edeline, Fallon," Here he paused, in between Fallon and two younger women, "the twins, Hadley and Isla, and the triplets, Janessa, Kathleen, and Lacey. And we're just missing Genevieve."
     "I'm here!" Genevieve said as she raced forward, dragging a man behind her. "Did we miss the feast?"
     "Not at all. We were just making introductions."
     "Just a rude interruption." Adrian muttered.
     "This is Genevieve and her mate, Derek."
     A young blond female and a brunette male stood next. "I am Queen Anneliese and this is my Omega Vixen, Julian. I am Alpha of my own pack and we hail from a land far away. I am joined by my mate and my mother."

     With that, the last few made their introductions: a group of bender weres that seemed familiar with each other despite being in separate packs, Shrek and Fiona, fae weres that were ogres, Rumplestiltskin, Emma, Snow and David's daughter, and Killian Jones, Osgar and Ruadan, lone Druid weres (the latter being Sefa's father), Taliesin, a sorcerer and Seer, Tauren, another sorcerer, Dragoon and Dolma, Merlin's maternal grandparents, Sir Oswald and Sir Ethan, lone knights with large crystals around their necks, Derian, another lone knight that once worked for Annis, Alice, a lone teenage Gama who was insane, Sydney Glass, Regina's former magic mirror, and Cailleach, a caster were that kept the balance of the earth in line.
    Once Lea, Deanna, and Seth had introduced themselves, each of Lear and Maisie's children introduced themselves, as well as the farmhands.
    With everyone introduced, Adrian raised his hands and announced the beginning of the feast. The casters raised wands, staffs, and hands to make the food for the feast appear. Audrey and her mother, who had also shown up, as well as their clones, began cutting up the food and dishing out portions, the latter looking grumpy while doing so.
     ("Don't look so grumpy, mother. This is a day to celebrate.")
    Arthur grabbed for his food immediately, excitement coloring his features. "Ah my favorite!" He said, taking multiple servings.
     Merlin couldn't help himself. "Easy now. We don't want anymore holes in that belt."
     Leon, who was sitting next to Arthur, choked on his wine and everyone burst into laughter.
     For that one moment, everything was perfect....
