Bright Moon - a land sullied by mystery and the ravaging scars of a terrible fire. Abandoned as a pack land for years, the terra has been used as a gathering place for the brazen and bloodthirsty drawn there by the lingering pall of death. Yet from the ashes there comes an unordained phoenix, the rainbow hues of hope glinting in her mismatched globes. Through the obsidian drapes obscuring the scenery, she alone was able to catch the perfumed aroma of new life on the breeze and hear the sluggish streams flowing ever swifter into the morning.
Thus, with a purpose, she set out to map the incognita, discovering daily the extent of the reawakening and unearthing within herself a desire to return the landscape to its former glory. Now she stands tall as privileged Alpha of the lands, lording over the rock-strewn prairie and bountiful forests with a firm but gentle paw.
Having finally realized her deepest longing to be a queen, Satowra is focused solely on the revival and maintenance of the Bright Moon Pack. Her question to each prospective warrior that comes to the border is simple:
"Do you have what it takes?"

because tonight will be the night that i will fall for you, over again I'm starting to feel like a grumpy old man.
I'm serious. My mood has been fluctuating between worry and anger and guilt -- god, the guilt -- and I don't feel solid or stable enough to uphold my position in the pack. Maybe it's just me going insane from lack of interaction. For now I'm lounging beneath a tree, in solitary silence with only the dapples of sunlight playing across the gold of my coat for company. There's a bitter taste on my tongue. The part of my mind spouting prose wants to say something like 'they're words that have been left unsaid, words rotting and going bad' but to be honest, it's probably just my mind playing tricks on me. I haven't eaten in days and I can't dredge up the energy to go hunt for myself. See? Grumpy old man. With a long sigh, I stretch my limbs and wince at the soreness crying in my muscles, shaking out my pelt and pursing my lips as the last of my winter coat falls with my movement, revealing the corded muscle that has lately been covered by the shagginess of snow-time. At least my build assures me I won't go blind or incontinent anytime soon. Blinking owlishly, I'm about to turn to lope from the territory and maybe catch something, but I guess not because just as I step foot over the borders a dominant howl has me cringing back inland. Tamlin's back. I suppose he's won the fight, and I suppose I should go congratulate him. It's bad when I lack enthusiasm for matters like this, but at least I can still feel something. Emptiness is a familiar feeling by now, and I can't seem to experience much more. Maybe it's just because I'm cursed to be forever alone, or something. I reach my paws forward to lunge into a long run, one that covers ground easily and has my lungs expanding and heart throbbing to compensate for the exertion. I know where I'm going; now it's second nature. Our meetings are always in the same place -- the humble clearing with a tumble of boulders that the alpha often sits on. I still have the image of Satowra sitting with her mighty presence and her beautiful eyes on those same rocks and sometimes I still catch a whiff of her, like now as I break subtly through the trees, trying not to attract too much attention. They'll smell me. I know not everyone is very happy with me because I've been so goddamn absent but of course, they won't understand. No one ever does, except maybe Rio and Misty. They know. After I enter immediately I take my spot, near Tamlin but still to the front of him. I don't sit, not like anyone else; I think I've been doing that for far too long. I opt to stand instead, a tentative, enclosed smile tilting at my lips only for the ice-king as I dip my head in greeting. Am I still irritated with him? Not so much. "Tammy," I murmur, a soft snicker lacing with the nickname, and then shake my head gently. "Good to see you unhurt, brother. It seems as though your biggest threat was the rocks at your paws, no?" I'm referring to how I don't even smell the challenger on him. The male probably turned and ran when he saw Tamlin. I feel slightly awkward standing like this. Even normally, I'm just that much taller than the alpha but now when he's sitting, it's like I tower over him. So I sit too, shifting so I can look over the rest of the wolves, teal eyes scanning over the group. There's Venga, the zeta who I'd caught singing a week or so earlier. I remember her as slightly timid but maybe that's just because she doesn't -- or didn't -- really know me. Then Demon Moon, a male who'd been on the hunt so long ago. I don't really know him either. Not many of these wolves are familiar. Then a younger looking female whose name I'm not sure of. Ambrosia, the delta. I distinctly remember her being somewhat brutal; I don't think she likes me very much but I owe her, and the other wolves a lot. They've taken the burden of my job for the past few days. Ah, here comes the guilt again, gnawing hungrily at my insides. A slim ivory girl is submitting to Tamlin. Another white female with yellow eyes, who looks somewhat polar. Just like Tamlin. My lips quirk in silent amusement to myself. A rusty red female with cynical blue eyes sits somewhat far away, and then I watch as a young male hurtles into the meeting, swaying slightly. He looks malnourished, just a little. When I turn to the ivory girl who's maybe a little closer to my weary heart then she probably should be, a slow and quiet grin breaks at my lips. Just seeing Misty makes me feel a little warmer inside. But there's someone missing, and that dims my mood a little. "Where's Rio?" I ask softly, glancing into the trees once and wrapping my tail around my hind legs. It doesn't look like I'm going to be doing much talking at the meeting, but I'm quite interested in learning about all the new wolves hiding behind unfamiliar faces. or i won't live to see another day |
