Summer has arrived. The world has been well at peace, and others seem to be trying to take advantage. They believe we are lazy and complacent. We are no such thing. Remain vigilante, friends and family.
Give your congratulations to Maiko. She has been promoted to Blizzard; she earned it.
We also have an activity check going. Please reply so I can make adjustments accordingly. Check will go for an entire month so we can hopefully capture everyone.
As always, if you have need of me, do not hesitate to find me.

What can be said of the joy of one sibling to another? For there is nothing that can quite compare to letting ones gaze rest upon another, another who had grown beside you for a time most long, who had shared in your childhood games and secrets, who had run beside you in the snow and once, long ago, had sat pressed against atop the Heyel’s Throne and looked out across the Greatest of All Packs and desired so much to be the one to rule it next. Never did my lips cease to grin and beam with such pleasure at the sight of my siblings, my favoured sister, my Aaliyah as I embraced her, blending snowy fur and scarlet Marks, sharing warmth and affection as only siblings can as Aaliyah buried her muzzle within the thickness of my pelt, my own jaws parting to sweep my tongue against her head in muted affection, teasing at her fur and trying most hard to ignore the scent of Him as it lingered upon her. Never would I be asking Aaliyah to choose another, for I am understanding most well what it is to love more then all else, to believe most truly that he is the one, that never will there be another and often I am thinking we are not always so very much in control, the heart and destiny itself seems to decide and long, long ago I had been given my Kane as Aaliyah had been given Tobias. It is her divine purpose, Heyel is saying, her Reason and on that I will never argue. She is his shield, he is her sword, this I know and this I believe was always meant to be, else Tobias would have died when Father held his fangs within his throat. Yet- that is not meaning that I do not fear for her, each day I fear and worry and I wish most surely that she would live within Diveen, it is her place, her home and I would wish for my sister to stand with me in so many things. Yet- her mate is not safe, he cannot be allowed upon my land for the safety of that which is mine and I will not ask Aaliyah to abandon him. She is a strange one, my sister, she is different and yet that difference is her Greatness, of this I am being most sure. I smiled readily as I stepped back from her embrace, nodding at her words.
“Pater optime, crederetis utique numquam recessit a ratione discurrit. Patruus diabolus est numquam longe post et esse hoenst qui me sollicitissimum iustus aliquantulus, sunt seniorum sunt, debeant esse quiescendo, tamen Pater videtur esse ordinandis LICENTIA, cum credit non sum aspiciens.”
(Father is very well, you would believe he had never retired at all from the way he runs about. Uncle Devil is never far behind and to be honest that worries me just a little, they are Elders, they should be resting, yet Father seems to be organising anarchy when he believes I am not looking.)
I grinned as I spoke, the words filled with an obvious affection and love as I teased, violet eyes aglow as I continued, features shifting to a look more concerned.
“Azrael est .... summitatem parietum. Sequitur opus habet frater gravissime et Zeivah mortem simulare non patitur. Pueri sunt Seraphiel valde contumacem. Sinopa est visted nuper tam, ipsa crevit amantississima tamen sentit illa non habet tempus pueris. Letum dicit se studium tulit, id prae oculis habeat puellam. Calista pulchra est, Soror et illa invenit pro se a puero puer. Neptis Ava et neptis Micteca etiam sunt valde bene. Saepe Ava Micteca sinu Patris est: nec malum sed convalescere.”
(Azrael is....coping. Our Brother takes his work very seriously and yet he continues to pretend that he does not suffer Zeivah's death. Boys are very stubborn, though Seraphiel is wonderfully sweet. Sinopa has visited of late as well, she has grown most lovely yet feels she has no time for boys. She tells us Letum has taken an interest in another, that he has his eyes upon a girl. Calista is beautiful, Sister and she has found for herself a boy. Niece Ava and niece Micteca are also very well. Ava does not leave Father's side often and Micteca has been ill but is recovering.)
I nodded as I spoke, as if to confirm the truth of my words. Indeed I often wondered if Aaliyah missed such things, if she felt sad to be so apart from those she cared for, yet perhaps it was not the same, perhaps within Tobias she had all she desired. I moved forward then, waiting for Aaliyah to come to my side, to press against me like we had as children and allow me to lead her into my kingdom, to show her my throne and the fields and plains, the ravine and falls. We walked with ease and grace, myself remaining silent to allow her to see the land as we moved. I spoke then of Amaterasu, the only sibling to turn from us, to not rush forward to embrace Father as all others did and indeed it seemed this brought pain to Aaliyah as well. Of all my siblings, it is Ammy, my litter sister whom I have grown furthest from. I never did like that ZeZe of hers.
“Perhaps, yes.”
I did not think it would work, I did not believe that Ally would be able to do such a thing as make Ammy talk, though I am having faith, always in my sister, the only one amongst us to be so bold as to dance with a Demon. Perhaps she can do this thing, perhaps. Our talk fell silent once more as the wind grew colder and the snow, light still, yet falling heavier each day crunched beneath our paws. I would have to invite Aaliyah back within the spring, for indeed it would be a sight most lovely then. I was content to smile at this thought, lost within my own until Aaliyah’s voice spoke again, violet gaze turning to rest with surprise upon her own at the tone most serious in her voice, her words bringing a flush to my features, a heat and warmth as I leapt upward in pup-like play to bat at her with my paw and dance aside once more.
“Sister! You should not be asking these things....you are making my face grow hot as my Mark.”
I laughed softly, child-like in the presence of my littermate once more before I offered another grin most shy.
“But I am answering you with yes. I have been with my Kane, we are to have pups, though I am thinking perhaps it is not most noticeable yet. Diveen will be having it’s heir, Father is being most pleased and...embarrassed at the same time. Yet this my sister, is not being the greatest scandal, no, for I must tell you....Father is expecting! We are to be having more siblings....but enough of this....are you also......expecting? With Tobias?”
