POV: Aphrodite
Dawn looks different when gods are gone.
The world that is waking in the aftermath of the divine command architecture's collapse is not the world that was running before it.
Wolves are forming councils.
Not the formal structures that the covenant describes — the organic, provisional, practical councils that people form when the previous structure is gone and the immediate requirements of running a community don't wait for the permanent structure to be designed and implemented. Wolf communities meeting under trees and in open ground rather than in the hierarchy's formal positions, the conversations running with the specific quality of people who are discovering that the conversations are possible now in a way they weren't before.
Humans and wolves are negotiating openly.
