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 thinking my Kane is being entirely to calm about this matter. Indeed, in the years to come I would look back upon this moment and realise that it had been I who had overacted and yet- perhaps not unjustifiably. Like my mate I had been shielded from much in life, wether by the will of my Mother and Father, or simple chance, I had grown to see so much of the good in this world and so little of the bad and truly I had perhaps been ill-prepared for it. Iromar alone had come to test my resolve as an Alpha, just as Weylin had with his disrespect of a land and bloodline that- to my knowledge, correctly or incorrectly had always been revered, just as the wolves who called such a land home. The sight of my mate, torn and bloodied at the paws of another was a shocking thing to my eyes that day and wether my instincts were merely heightened due to the birth of Achilles or the desire to protect my mate alone had finally been tested I could not say, yet I felt only shock at the sight of him, sought only to heal him and only to harm the one who had done it, the selfish creature who had dared try to take our home from us and just like all who had stood before Heyel and Devil- Makism had fallen as well, as all would do. Yet the shock was still there, the reality was still there and perhaps it makes me seem weak and naive to admit these things, I see it only as a testament to Trenus- that I, like so many others had lived a near perfect childhood, given to us by the loyal wolves of the pack who so bravely defended it, handed to us by an Alpha Pair who wanted us only to see the good in this world. I have seen what can be done by nature and now I have seen what can be done by others and once more I am changed, somewhere inside another part of myself grows stronger and more assured, more understanding of this life and my place within it.
Of course, my ability to understand all types of the common tongue is perhaps one that I will never fully master, the words of my Kane causing a look of confusion to touch my features as he spoke of this Makism taking away a piece of his skin for a souvenir. Why should he do such a thing? Why would any wolf wish to keep skin of another? This is seeming a most terrible thing to my ears and I am most inclined to demand this Makism return it! I had such words upon the softness of my lips before Kane spoke of scars, violet green eyes moving softly over him to come to rest upon his shoulder as I stood with gentle ease in the water before him, seeking to see these scars he spoke of, hoping indeed he said, that I should love him no less. I smiled, careful and soft as if I feared even such a gesture would bring his body pain before I moved to lick at his muzzle once more.
“How can I be hating He who has saved our home, the home of our son and our Fathers and Mothers before us? You are being hero and I am always loving heroes. I am having most terrible weakness for them.”
I smiled, teasing, playful, though surely this was not the time- I hardly cared as nuzzled against him once more before preparing myself to find something to heal his shoulder with, or at least begin to. I had not trained for such extensive wounds though I would do as I could until others arrived. Kane turned his eyes from me to stare at the red that feel upon the water, staining a liquid so clear before the rush of the falls carried it away. All things pass. Once, my Mother had told me this and perhaps I believed it that day as I washed the water cleanse itself time and time again, taking away the blood of my mate, mixing it with water and water until- slowly, it faded to nothing, travelling downstream clear as it had been before. All things pass. I smiled gently once more before his words found me again and I nodded. I could not admit to being pleased at hearing of the pain of another yet I am not so perfect within myself that I cannot smile, just to myself and think of another who is given to limp because of my Kane. Good. I am hoping he is limping for every wound he left on my mate. Kane’s gaze returned to my own, surprise within his features as he returned my earlier statement on Makism’s having a mate, I nodded once more before frowning slightly.
“Yes, he is having a mate, one Heyel tells me is sinful. For he is mated to another male, his mate is a boy, my Kane, Makism loves and mates another boy. This is not the way of wolf. This is not right to my mind and I have decided, if you wish it also, that Makism is forbidden in our lands, as is his mate. They are unwelcome.”
I spoke clearly and calmly, yet I was assured of my thoughts on this. If Makism wished to be as such then so be it, but it was not the way of wolf and my thoughts would never change. The sound of another approaching drew my attention as Dusk came forward, her own form swollen and heavy with the children of Sulan, head dipping in greeting as she came forward to offer Kane her congratulations, my own form remaining proudly beside his, for I will not lie, I take pride in a victorious mate, in knowing I have chosen well a powerful male to be my partner in this life. His victory is a respectful and honourable thing for Diveen. Dusk moved quickly and with efficiency, the violet of my gaze following her, watching her form with caution as if I feared she should fall or tire carrying such a weight. Surely I had not been so large! I watched with silent respect for a wolfess well adapt in her art before moving to come towards her, reaching my muzzle forward to touch against her own as she gave a sudden start of pain as a child stirred within.
“Thank you Dusk, we are not forgetting this, you have done much for Diveen and for Trenus before it, you may be going if you desire it, rest, your pups will be coming soon and I am thinking Sulan should be most cross with us if we are making you work. Thank you.”
I smiled gently, softly once more before I turned from her, moving to step back into the water and go to my Kane once more as Brooke and a small one arrived. Ah, this boy I am knowing, the boy of Azrael, or more so, the boy Azrael continued to tell me was not his, though I am seeing him watch over this one as he does the others. Brooke moved first Dusk to see to her, ordering the Small One, Meryl, to give his poppy seeds to her before moving to come towards Kane myself and indeed, though I am knowing perhaps it is a thing most foolish I am feeling....protective of that which is mine, eyes watching Brooke carefully as they had Dusk, warily almost, though I had no intention of snapping at either, I was merely reluctant to part from my mate, stepping back to allow Brooke to see his face, with a nod of greeting, moving to press against his side as I did, offering a smile to the boy as he came though worry for Kane still filled my mind. Brooke’s words were perhaps soothing, to know all would be well, though I watched most worriedly still, his Guardian Angel this day. I was content to return to licking my Kane’s face when Brooke was assured such a thing was safe, pausing only to turn my gaze to Brooke and Meryl as they moved to go back to the bank.
“Brooke- once, years most long ago my Father is telling me that he took a walk in the night with a black wolfess, that they shared secrets and never did he tell you this, because my Father is not one to be telling such things and indeed, we must not speak of what I am to say now, lest he is finding out. But that night, after he walked with you, he came home to Mother and he said he was most assured that this very night he had been meeting a true Angel- you had amazed him as no other had done before. I am thinking perhaps he was right, they are calling me Angel- but I am seeing three more within this pack this day. Meryl, maybe you are not Angel born, but you is being raised by a wolfess most strong in Andromeda and by my Brother, though he denies this thing and always will, be knowing only that when he came to tell me that Andromeda had given birth- he told me he had three sons. He is like Heyel, he loves most deeply, but he will never say it to you, he is being, how you say in common tongue.....an ass.”
I grinned once more, I did see three Angels this day, Brooke, Dusk and Meryl and this I would not forget. I turned then, attention returning to my Kane as I made to soothe him once more, licking at his muzzle and face as I knew he liked. I could not allow his fur to be unclean, no, it would frighten Achilles and I am thinking Heyel will yell at him if he sees.
