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.
{ Angels are Bright Still } part 1 IP: 202.159.130.167 Posted on April 14, 2013 at 09:00:12 AM by Isola
I found the soft violet and emerald of my gaze drifting once more to the pale golden female, young, yet for all her youth a Queen such as myself and indeed perhaps it was for this reason I allowed my gaze to return, to rest against her once more in consideration of another so like myself, so young, of whom so much seems to be expected by so many. A thing most daunting and yet she is a girl most lovely and though I have been taught since always I have been capable of knowing, that we do not favour black nor dark marks I am finding her own most curious, a touch of night to the sun of her pelt and eyes of a blue so lovely. I allowed a smile, soft and delicate to be offered in her direction. A hidden gem she is. Yes, this is what I am thinking, one perhaps not so valued as she should be, perhaps for her youth or indeed perhaps for her gender, for it would seem that he who rules Glorall believes himself above she who should be his equal. He stands as if offended, pulling himself upright in his sudden need to prove that he is male, that he is King. Perhaps he does not think highly of my bloodline, yet whichever way he is wishing to look, we have built empire far greater then he or his ever could and it was not done by males assuming they stand above those who assist them. Heyel and Zeivah stood side by side as my Kane and I do in all things. Unity is a thing most powerful, division leaves only fractures and weakness and I am seeing then, understanding in that moment that Weylin does not trust his Queen, does not respect her, thinks himself so high above her that he must stand and lift himself high to prove such a thing. Is he not ashamed? Never would my Kane treat me in such a manner and never would I presume to be placed before him. I returned my gaze to Weylin as was his right to be seen, though I saw no need to react to his offense, it is his choice to be offended by such a thing, no slight was intended, I merely greeted his Queen because she is Queen and it was to her my eyes had been drawn and indeed I had been pleased to see one so young, held so high......though perhaps it is not as it seems.
I paused in my own words of greeting, offering to he and his a welcome to my Kingdom, seating myself before them with comfortable ease, for indeed, I hold no fear of Weylin nor those he brings, why should I? I sit within my own lands and I have invited them to enjoy such hospitality also, I am not fearful that he brings others, I had brought those most trusted when I travelled to Iromar to return Andromeda and though perhaps I do not understand why it is he has brought with him healers and warriors alike to discuss matters that are being of a nature so personal I will respect his choice on such things. Perhaps I am young, perhaps there is much that I still have to learn in the years to come, yet I have learned enough to understand that not all packs are alike, that each is shaped and changed by the traditions and beliefs of those who lead it and if it is Weylin’s belief that he should be accompanied by warriors and healers, that he is comfortable speaking of personal matters, ones I believe to perhaps not be meant for ears so many then- I will be understanding, I will be respectful of this choice though I am not so sure I am seeing the reasons behind it. He spoke then, his words...odd, my own head tilting slightly at the tone behind them. Had I caused him some offense? Had my greeting to Selene bothered him so that he suit to disrespect me within my own home in which he had been so politely invited? Had his parents instilled within him no manner whatsoever? Indeed I am being daughter of Heyel, a wolf many are knowing not so much for his- tact, but even he had instilled within myself a respect for those deserving of it. I scowled, lightly, but offered no comment, choosing instead to ignore this thing as Weylin moved to seat himself within my lands after speaking first to Natalya. I offered the female my own acknowledgement, for indeed she is a friend most close of Heyel, though I am not sure why Weylin is calling her Gunner, is he not knowing names of his own pack?
This is a most odd day. I spoke then, the dark male before me listening with a polite respect I found pleasing after his early affronts, my own voice smooth and clear, accented perhaps, though I can hardly help such a thing and indeed I try, truly I do, to speak clearly to those I converse with, to make myself understood in a language not my first, my eyes seeking his, watching his own for glimmers of understanding though indeed perhaps my own words are somewhat reserved, held back, for the matter of Finley is one deeply personal. He was my very Soul, his life entwined with my own in a way so fierce that to be without the beat of his heart is......to be lost. If not for my Kane I would be wandering still, he is my lantern within the dark, the light that allows me to see clearly when I need do so. I had chosen my Kane I had chosen him when I was not yet a year old and I had made that choice entirely alone, learning only later indeed that Heyel and Devil had been equally thrilled, though they had played no part, that to combine their bloodlines had been a desire of both for so long, a desire soon to be born to this world and indeed, for just a moment, contentment swelled within me, a pride in myself, my mate and the child within. Yet, to think of my own continued existence is forever and always to be reminded of my Finley. For as long as I live I will live without him, my soul will forever wander. I did not choose him, but that did not mean I did not care. I never turned from him, never forbade him to be in my presence nor neglected to spend time in his. I could not love him, for I have loved another my entire life and yet my Finley did not hold this against me, Kane did not drive him away. We had existed and I had hoped, always, that he would find a mate for his heart though it was not to be. I feel silent, eyes flicking to those who stood behind Weylin. It is not custom within my Pack to speak of deeply intimate matters so openly.....for they are my own, they are not to be shared so loudly yet for Weylin I had done this thing, tried to understand his own custom though I feel foolish, truly, to admit the anger within myself, an anger I keep from my own Pack, for it is not fitting for them to see their Queen upset or dishevelled. A Queen is composed and clear at all times, perhaps Weylin may find it acceptable to rage and express boyish anger but I do not. My grief is my own. Always. Yet for Weylin I have voiced it this day.
And he laughs.
I felt my ears slide back against my head, violet gaze widening, for perhaps, the first time within shock at his blatant- disrespect. I had spoken to him of matters deeply personal, matters, that within my beliefs should never be spoken of in front of those they do not concern, I had brought them to him from courtesy, because he is the brother of Finley, because I am understanding the bond of family. I felt it stir within me, a twinge, a spark that ignited that side of myself so like my Father, anger flickering within my gaze yet one I held back, controlled, turning from him for barely a moment to allow my composure to return. I am not a child. I am not a weak little girl. I am Angel born, I am Queen of Moladion’s most powerful Pack and if he wishes to insult me I will allow him to do so, I will allow him to shame himself in front of his followers, for I do not believe myself above Weylin. I am assured of it. I know it is so in those moments. Let him talk, let him say as he pleases, he holds every right to do so and I will sit before him with the dignity and composure of the Alpha I am. I know only that he is not Finley. He is not half of what his Brother was and perhaps.....that is saddest of all. I merely turned back towards him, nodded from him to continue as he proceeded to mock my pregnancy, as if he would have allowed his Queen to go into battle, heavy with his child. I was pregnant when Finley died and perhaps Weylin is naive in such matters, but it is taking months for a child to be born I am thinking it is not surprising I am pregnant still. What wolf standing here this day would have allowed a pregnant female to fight another wolf? His anger makes him blind, this I must remember, blind to fact and sense. Diveen will have it’s heir, yet this does not mean Finley was forgotten. Finley would never have allowed such an act, this I am knowing. He pauses only to glance at another of his wolves, as if perhaps, already understanding his own words are incorrect, before moving to speak once more, my features calm, serene, blank and impassive- expectant.
