News - SUMMER
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.

So maybe, just maybe- it’s a little embarrassing. I mean I’m in my sixteenth year and Cat, hell, she must be going on thirteen herself. We’re.....elders; we’re not supposed to be doing this, going through this now. This is the fourth time around for me, Cat’s first to my knowledge and indeed I’ve been watching her, even from a distance, after all, out of the two of us I’m the one with more experience and honestly that alone is ridiculous enough. Yet the matter still stands- I became a grandfather seven times over this spring and yet, the very same year I’m a father once more. It’s just....outrageous and indeed, though it brought a smirk to my face, albeit a somewhat guilty one, to know that I’ve still ‘got it’ and that I have surely managed once more to scandalize Moladion with my behaviour, I will admit to being a little...surprised and uneasy. This will not go down well. I never thought it would happen, one night, just one night and at her age I never considered, I mean, I know I’m a fertile guy, I’ve got ten children to prove it but....I never thought.....never considered that it would happen. One night, one shot and angels above- i got her knocked up. Maybe it’s an imprint thing, they say soul bonds go beyond the ordinary, go beyond anything we understand, that children born of a soul bond are touched by fate themselves, destined forever and always to have existed and indeed if that is true, age would never have stopped this pregnancy. It just seemed so...unbelievable. yet for a bloodline based upon miracles itself I am not so foolish as to believe my family will understand, not this. Isola will try, Azrael will rage, the others will be somewhere in between. They will consider it an affront to Zeivah and her memory and perhaps they should yet I broke no laws there, I waited for two years for my mate to come home, I have let two winters go by and maybe it was a moment of weakness, maybe it never should have happened- but it did. I am still a male, I still have needs and I denied Cat Eye every day Zeivah was alive. Perhaps they will judge me, but I believe firmly they have too much respect for me to truly bring this matter forward. It is Cat Eye and the children they will judge. Half-Angels.
I sighed, already having steeled myself to the battle this will become. Perhaps it was wrong of me, perhaps I shouldn’t have kept the knowledge of her pregnancy to myself this entire time. Isola knew, for I have enough respect of her rule to inform her of the impending arrival, but as for what the others know I cannot say. It doesn’t matter, they will not dare speak in a disrespectful manner of either my imprint or their half-siblings if I have any say. I made my way across the pack land, following the trail of the blackened female though indeed I hardly needed such a thing, I knew where she was and I felt already each moment of pain within her as I made my way slowly, yet steadily across the kingdom. I made no move to hurry, having no intention of witnessing the actual birth after the rather horrific experience of seeing Seraphiel and Ferox come into this world, besides, the bond itself would let me know if I was needed, for now it was a constant yet not alarming pain. Normal, from what I’ve seen and hell, I’ve seen a lot. It was dark by the time I reached the den, if you could call it that, honestly why she didn’t ask for help to build something suitable to bring my children into the world in I wasn’t sure. This was, at best, what I would call a hovel, then again I have always been rather picky. I snorted, irritated before pausing, allowing a whine to slip free of my lips, announcing my presence. Maybe she isn’t my mate, maybe these pups weren’t exactly planned and maybe I left her to her pregnancy in peace (I was fairly sure she wanted that) but if I am anything in this life, I am a good Father, or at least a responsible one and I will not leave her unguarded this night. We can face a world of problems in the morning, but not tonight. I set down the hare I’d brought, leaving it at the mouth of the den before angling my head inside, violet gaze running over her sleeping form, head tilting as I searched, spying a dark little body nestled against her own, flashes of white indicating my own influence.
I smirked, unable to do anything but. It would be a child of Cat Eye’s that comes out black, one child of all I have fathered born black- just one. Typical. At least it had some redeeming white one it. Yet I found myself unable to my cynical as I looked over the tiny puppy, a girl, a beautiful baby girl, my sixth daughter and eleventh child and I knew, in that moment, what perhaps fate had known for some time. That I wasn’t done being a Father, I wasn’t ready to give it up and retire. I could never bring back Kael and Lucifer and that place within myself would never truly stop bleeding- but I could give the love I still had, the love I’d saved for them to someone and something else. Her. Nothing could be wrong about this child, nothing. She was always meant to be and indeed though I longed to touch her, I waited for now, reaching over to lick at Cat’s cheek in a silent, stolen kiss, smiling with affection for the Mother of my child before pulling back, unwilling to wake the sleeping babe, yet finding the words whispered softly from my lips, just for her, my little girl.
“Nunc deliciae, non est tibi provehantur sursum. Sustinetis perfectum et paulo et ostendet mihi protegat te in æternum.”
(Now darling, don't you ever grow up. You stay perfect and little and let me protect you forever.)
Latin, the language of her birth and bloodline, gentle, soft and for her alone before I retreated to sit at the entrance to the den, laying myself down to block the entrance, guarding it for Cat Eye, guarding them both against the outside world, a job I would surely be fulfilling for many years yet. I left the hare untouched, a gift for Cat when she woke, sleep would do her the world of good now, I would wake her when the daylight came if she didn’t wake herself. I lay my head down, violet eyes turned skyward, settling for a long night.
