Description: The mood of the scene will be ominous, with Gabriel and
@Tacitus seated so as to highlight a large, smooth rock wall looming over them, which appears to be a part of an alcove in Eridanus- perhaps you can see the ground drop away into the main cavern to the left of the scene, with a see of ferns and great trees silhouetted against a night-like ambiance. Several flickering lights hang over them, illuminating the rock wall and giving the cave an ambiance similar to a campfire, and Gabriel has his paw placed on the rim of an upturned skull (it's up to you what kind- most likely an adult wolf skull) filled with a dark red substance. The wall that they're stood by is covered with the pawprints of various creatures (canine, feline, avian and even reptilian). Silhouettes can be seen of a gathering of creatures, all around. Perhaps just do a couple of shapes of ears and heads (the animals can be whatever you want), and eyes gleaming in from Eridanus outside.
The viewer will get the impression that this is a secret ritual or initiation of some kind, as it is an interpretation of Gabriel's contract.
