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?"

I can tell that Venga is sorry for startling me. It's obvious in the smile she offers as an olive branch and the soft gaze she gives me. When I answer her though, her gaze turns a bit witty, repeating my own words back to me and if I didn't know her any better, I'd react in hurt. The way she said it could be taken as harsh, expecially with the recent events of him leaving and then showing up again out of nowhere. Of course, she might not know he's back yet. I listen anyway to the rest of her words as she tells me that she's seen the way I look at him. Star struck? My eyes show puzzlement at the word, head tilting a bit. What does she mean by that? I'm about to ask when she brings up the fact that he's missing. My chest does a back flip, remembering the pain of him leaving and the renewed pain of him showing up of of nowhere at Rainbow Cliff. Then she mentions that I've been lying low recently too. Now it's my turn to feel sorry and I duck my head in shame, ears flicking back, wincing inwardly as she even thinks to throw in the title Tamlin gave me, the undeserved title. Her tone is nothing but soft the entire time but the words hurt none the less. After all, she's hitting all the right buttons in the subjects. Raylen...my first rank in a pack. I can tell that she knows I can do more than I'm doing, otherwise I wouldn't have been given the rank at all. I know that, but how could I go on as if nothing was different when everything in my world was different with Raylen gone? Ho could I go on greeting new wolves and acting all cheery and welcoming when my heart couldn't even make me smile at a new day anymore? I know that Venga's just trying to give me a gentle nudge, give me a reason to get back up and keep trying. I meet her gaze finally but my voice is still low in defeat. You make it sound as if I love him or something. We're just good friends. I'm sorry about not doing my duties. I'll try better. She leans back immediately in reaction my body stiffening but I can see that she knows better than to think I'm attacking. Her eyes seem more focused on trying to read my body language, find out just why I tensed up. She nods in answer when I tell her that I'm thinking and when I ask her if she's ever felt lost, she laughs but it sounds sad and understanding so I prick my ears to listen. She tells me that she's felt lost and at war with herself and the world before. I don't know about wars but at least she understands the lost feeling. I think I've felt too broken to be thinking of wars with anyone, let alone the world. The world could decimate me, no problem. Venga looks down thoughtfully, her lips tugging into a frown for a moment and then she speaks again, telling me to keep my head up and come to her if I ever need to vent. I tilt my head a bit in curiosity when she mentions trees. What do trees have to do with it? Does she expect me to hug them or something? I could understand if I'm angry and I want to attack something but I've been depressed, not angry. I could never be angry at Raylen. Suddenly Venga snaps her head up and tells me that war destroys. I don't know where all this is coming from so I just nod in agreement. Indeed, it does. Her face softens next and she tells me that I can come find her anytime. I offer a small smile. Thanks, I will. I'm sure it's what she wants to hear and it's not like I don't like Venga. I do. She's a nice girl. I guess I'm just so used to doing things on my own, feelings things alone, not with company to understand. Perhaps I'll take her up on her offer someday. I can tell that Venga feels better just offering. Maybe she wishes someone could have been there to offer understanding to her in her time of need. My face softens. |
