Speeches for Beth- June 2018

View

Thal

"Alpha, but not mine. Not in time. Sorrow beyond tears, beyond rain. I sing your songs and carry them forever." -Thal

Sunny

"I have known Beth for most of my life, but the first time I really knew her was the time after the Week of Broken Howls, and the death of her pack. She was mourning, listless, and wounded to the quick. I stayed with her for a while, to help her transition into the world after, and I guess, in a way, she never let me leave. When Charles and I joined her to reform the Lyceum, it was like coming home. She made space in her home and her heart for those she had taught, and we can all learn to do the same. So now, it seems we are in the same place- mourning, listless, and wounded to the quick, but we will perservere with her lessons in our hearts."

"For this alone on Death I wreak

The wrath that garners in my heart;

He put our lives so far apart

We cannot hear each other speak."<br)

- Sunny

Rei

"She taught me everything to be the person and the wolf that I am today, but it feels like there is so much more I could have learnt from her. I hope with me dedicating to following in her footsteps as a mentor, a Cahalith, a caregiver, a wolf apart of her legacy, The Lyceum and now striving to become a Mennina as I want to inspire in wolves of the next generation like how she did for me."

-Rei Washington

Lena

"When I was a troublesome thirteen year old filled with angst and anger at the world, Beth was the one who took the time to divert my energy into something healthy and productive. She kept me from being expelled more times than I can count. She got me, got my rage and knew what it would lead to, and did what she could to help that process be easier than it might otherwise have been. When I refused to listen to my parents, she was one who could draw me out of my dark little corner and got me thinking positively.

That's something that can't be repaid. But it can be an example."

-Lena Faulkner

Mac

"I went to prison 15 years ago, I had my first change, I didn't know the world had gone upsidedown.

Beth visited me, she showed me, she taught me, she was a mother to me in those moments, she was my teacher and she was someone who helped explain what being of the people meant. She was there to help me navigate the rage, to know what it meant. She counselled me through my grief, Sure we didn't talk much at the end but she was always there for me as she has been for so many young uratha. She filled the role of Raksha from the jungle book, ready to adopt so many to care and to raise them despite her own risk and loss.

I loved her, she was my friend, she was my teacher."

- Mac

Cayden

"Rainsong was a mother to many, and a teacher to almost everyone I knew back when the Protectorate was first formed.

She was always feisty for her age. I never gave her enough credit for that part of her, always saying she was better as a teacher and as a storyteller than she was for being herself. She never shied away from challenge. Always met the mark and went beyond expectation. We weren't close, but I always respected her and honored her words. We live in a world of violence, times of peace are pages lost in her. Sing well, Rainsong. Your songs will carry on."

-Cayden Smith

Ajax

"I met Beth thanks to Ben Rivers. We were Pack together in Brisbane. I will never forget her energy, and how she wished she could teach me so much more. Maybe I should have listened more to her. In later years she was a good friend, probably my best of friends for a while there. Many nights were spent under the stars with glasses of wine and conversations that lasted hours, and in her final days as someone who offered me some of the best advice I could have ever asked for. Goodnight Beth. I'll miss you."

-Ajax Faulkner

Speeches for Binbale- June 2018

View

Binbale

"Just let my death mean something and get them"

-Binbale

Tahl

"Not know you. Still howl for you. Not sure if it better that did or didn't know your story."

- Thal

Sunny

"Bin Bael ina Thost was new here, but he put himself to the bit of our Protecorate more than even some of it's oldest members. When things needed doing, he was there, and they got done to all of his power. He knew how to cleave to tradition and how to break from it, and he was ready to offer his hand and his arm to help. We didn't even know him, and he gave his life for a Protectorate that hadn't finished recognising him. We owe him a debt that can only be repaid in justice. I'm sorry I didn't get to the fence in time, Binbale. Thinking of you"

-Sunny Faulkner

Lena

"You were so ready to mend the fences the rest of us should have already fixed. Thank you, for everything you were and did for us."

-Lena Faulkner

Theo

Brevity is the soul of wit

A saying perhaps too well-believed.

In life I thought him a foolish git

And yet in brevity, am left bereaved.

I'll make sure the story gets told right."

-Theo Farron

Bram

"You came to help us, hardly knowing us. Thank you, I wish we would have had more time."

-Bram Kelly

Cayden

Didn't know him, but he had enthusiasm and vigor. He knew what he was talking about, and having that silenced forever is a loss we shouldn't take lightly."

-Cayden Smith

Harley

"Binbale was not with us here for long, but he gave us everything he had. His sacrifice will be told through the ages and his memory :will live on"

-Harley Faulkner
