Get with me if you want to move up in rank. I'm going to change up the pack tasks for a little change of pace.
Congratulations to Adrian on her promotion to Governess. She will handle the guidance and teaching of our young pups in Iromar.
If you have a ^ next to your name, that means you're up for promotion so see me or send me a message on Discord so we can see where to move you. All others interested in specializing or getting a rank, let me know so we can figure out how to make that happen.
The pack board has been updated. If you wanted to remain a member, let me know either on here or Discord and I'll get you back on the board. Otherwise, let's have a thread!
I know I had a couple replies for the training with Spirane so I will be starting that thread soon. Stay tuned!
I am still working on an alliance with Diveen and Asteraia so stay tuned. If you have any information or would like to help, please let me know. If anyone has any ideas to promote activity within the pack, also, let me know. I am open for plots and such! Meanwhile, thank you all for your continued support of the pack.

restless: i found your weakness
Fate was cruel, fate was senseless and heartless but one day, she knew she would be able to overcome that of which fate had thrown at her. Take, take and take but soon, she would be the one to reach out and steal from fate's full pockets. Perhaps she would seek the answers from Paldor and his strange bag of stones, bones and trinkets - they would give her clues, clues as to where she must go or what she must do. Perhaps the bones would bring Nero back, or tell her where she was to seek him. Nobody else could help her when it came to such matters - not Ishtar, not Heyel and not even Vague. It was a depressing truth but the truth nonetheless. She was more alone in her suffering than she knew.
"They are all smart," she simply commented, her ears swiveling as she thought back on each and every child she had birthed so long ago, "Smart in their... own ways. Smart, always smart. I can train - train... to fight. Fight, it is what I do."
She remembered back to the small, charcoal and flame licked cub she had buried in her first litter - she had been born without a breath, without a soul perhaps and she had been buried in the Trenus sands long since lost. It stung, a painful reminder that she had always been set up for failure in one way or another. Even her first litter, the first of so many it seemed, had brought with it the loss of not one but two now. Celesdue, gone, gone, gone. She shivered momentarily, her limbs shaking beneath her as she instinctively pulled in closer to Vague but there was.. something missing, she could not explain. His usual warmth... it seemed misplaced, wasted on her in her opinion. She was ruined, her body scarred and aging and her mind in shambles. So few could come to understand her and she could not help but wonder whether or not her mate stuck with her solely for the purpose of their children - Vidar had left, how long would it be before Vague and Ska left? The thought tempted her to growl, to bristle at the mere possibility but she had not the strength to do so - instead, she simply sighed quietly to herself, continuing to stare out into the empty mists. They had been filled with possibility once but now the mists were empty for her.
"You cannot stop change," she spoke flatly, her voice drained of all emotion as she turned slowly once more to make eye contact - like a corpse, her eyes were lifeless, dull and seemingly staring through Vague as a wicked smile began to spread over her features. Why? She could not know - her body craved joy so much, perhaps it wished to mock her some more.
When he spoke, though, of a wolf speaking in threats - it was then that her eyes focused on his, sharp and hard as her lips pulled back taut. The expression in itself felt strange but she reveled in the first break - emotion, it formed. It was sharp and strong, burning within her but it was not sadness, not joy but anger, hatred. It felt good.
"What did he say?"
Cold, callous - already her mind ran through the catalog of Iromar wolves, remembering the daft male from the pack meeting. She snorted, her lip quivering over her fangs for a moment before she spoke once more, her ears flattening back and yet, her eyes took on a rather playful sheen. Was fighting, injuring, not the best way to take out inner turmoil? Once upon a time she had been sworn to fight only for honorable reasons but now... now she saw so much more. To fight was to bleed out every negative thought, to lose your mind and worries in a flurry of bloodshed and pain. This wolf, he who dare to threaten her property - she would collect upon that. Such thoughts could not last long and without a conscious thought, she found her body moving instinctively, pushing away from Vague until she no longer was pressed against him. A growl rose in her throat, brief but certainly audible - what was wrong? Could he not feel it? Was he so ignorant to not feel the loss simply lingering in the thick fog?
"My soul is gone and my blood is gone. I cannot find them. I cannot live a full life without them."
