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.

I am not wishing to sleep, not at all, not even a little bit and yet I am finding it most hard to do anything but this thing. I wish to keep the violet of my gaze awake, I wish never, ever to take my eyes from this boy that is my own. My son. Kane’s son. Our son. I have been believing for a time most long that nothing within this life is perfect, not truly, all things (even Heyel) have imperfections, ways in which they could be more, better, softer, kinder, faster, taller...there is always more and yet to look upon a child all my own is to shatter such a belief. There is perfection, for I have, in all my selfishness- created him. I did not so this thing alone, to be sure and yet it matters not. Perhaps I am not perfect, perhaps others think many things of me and of my Kane and yet it is through our own imperfection that Achilles has come and he, I am knowing, is perfect. Surely I will look back upon this moment and laugh at my own thoughts, perhaps I will smile knowingly when I am old and wonder indeed at the magic of a moment such as this and the thoughts is gives and yet I believe, as all Mothers and Fathers surely do, that no matter what happens, no matter what occurs- there child is perfect. Such thoughts do not change though all else surely does. For now I am convinced, now I am assured in ways which never I have been of a love so absolute, so without question. I understand why Jaidah could not kill Tobias the night he was born and always, always i had questioned that within my mind, wondered so truly, if she had known from the very beginning what he would be. They say he was born the runt, weak, so weak, that her faint heart had allowed him to grow to destruction and yet in this moment I do not believe Jaidah had any idea, how could she? Nor do I believe, even if she had looked upon the child and seen what he would become- would her decision have changed. Not because she is cruel and heartless, because she wished such pain on the world, but because a Mother’s love for a child, any child- is unfathomable. It is absolute. It is pure, more pure then anything else and the mere thought of harm, of pain, of sadness directed towards my Achilles is something beyond my contemplation.
That is a Mother’s love. Knowing without question, without thought that I would offer myself for him each and every time. I would die for him, over and over again and he had not yet opened his eyes. I will never hold love for Jaidah, not for any of the horrors she has brought upon my existence- but I understand and I am thankful for that. Yet with such knowledge comes also further question. How does Heyel breathe? How does he live each day knowing Kael and Lucifer are gone. His sons, my brothers. I felt the pain of their loss and yet, now, I understand a parents lose of a child is so much greater that to believe myself to have known grief was futile and laughable. How does he live? How does he wake each day knowing he cannot protect them, knowing perhaps he cannot protect any of us anymore? How does Devil let Kane go? How does Kiska watch Chance come to Iromar at my side without wishing to defend him? Will I worry this much for the rest of my life over a boy who has not yet taken his first step? I laughed, softly and to myself, lilting and delicate in the dark as the rain dripped down outside and the night seemed to sigh in contentment for my Storm Born Son, brought to the world in blood and fire, in rain and thunder and who silenced it with his first breaths. I had been foolish to worry of what he would become, to believe my darkened thoughts may have affected him. He is untainted and untouched. He is everything. Everything and so, so perfect. I allowed the violet of my gaze to linger perhaps a moment longer on the soft downy white of his fur, eyes seeing perhaps for the first time as he dried the black amongst his pelt, touches of Kane, tipped in gold. Kiska. I smiled once more. Kane and Kiska and Devil, all upon this boy so small and yet his pelt gleamed with the white of myself, of Heyel, his muzzle Marked as Zeivah had been. One boy- so much expectation in this one tiny child. So much Alpha blood. Myself and Kane, Kiska and Devil, Heyel and Zeivah. He cannot fail, not when so many have combined.
I was so lost within my thoughts, gaze closed once more in a sate half-dreaming as sleep and contentment seemed to sing most softly that I almost did not hear his words, his accent smooth and fluid though such words had never before come from his lips as he curled himself about me, my eyes sliding open once more to look upon my Kane in confusion a moment. He.....did not know the latina.....never had he spoken it before and yet....I smiled, simply smiled once more in this secret delight before I allowed myself the sleep I desired. When the day broke, I remained unaware, content entirely to sleep well until the sun shafted light most golden down into the depths of our den, bathing myself and my mate and newborn son with a dazzling bright that illuminated my pelt and gleamed about my Kane as I lent to lick at his face, to wake him on this most wonderful of daze. I was still most tired, still most sore and yet I found within myself an energy anew. If I could have done so I would have told the whole of Moladion of this thing we had created, my attention moving to Achilles once more, licking as his forehead, nuzzling him, bringing him close and offering food once more.
“Look, look how he shines. When the time is being right we must show Kiska and Devil and Heyel. They are being grandparents and I am knowing this will bring much joy and....teasing.”
I spoke softly, as if I feared to wake my sleeping son- though having no reservations of waking Kane it would seem. Perhaps, were I wiser I would have slept once more, unaware that many nights so sleepless would surely come.
“We must also be speaking of the words you are saying. I was not so tired that I did not hear them. You have been most.....sneaking.”
I licked at his nose, ears folding back with soft care against my head, tail flicking in gentle play though I dared not move too much for fear of disturbing the boy. I stretched, lightly, shifting ever so slightly though with no desire to move, not today. The Pack could surely handle itself for one day. I sighed once more, laying myself down upon my side in contentment.
“I am most excited my Kane, to be showing our boy to the world. I am being most vain, but I am think that surely he is the most beautiful of all and perhaps soon we will be seeing. Have you been hearing? Andromeda has born Azrael’s pups and the night before last Aaliyah gave birth. You....you will be keeping Tobias away, yes?”
I knew he lingered and yet found myself pressing closer to my pup at the thought, protective, so protective already and indeed this day I would be willing only to allow my Kane and no other at my side. Not yet. For today I would have Kane see off any who came for it would be a day for only us, the three of us to bond. Even Heyel and Devil would have to wait.
