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.
the blood of reptile IP: 184.240.120.253 Posted on June 3, 2013 at 04:42:48 AM by Saqr
Baphomet has been gone for some time now; how long, exactly, I cannot say. But the period of mourning is over. He would not like me to dwell so negatively on his departure from this physical world. He certainly would not focus his energies therein. And so I break my fast, this day, in a suitable fashion: a farewell, and a return to normality, all in one swift snap of my jaws. The reptile is a young thing, maybe a year old, and I discover him sunbathing in the cool morning light. He is alone, foolishly relaxed – clearly ignorant of the blood warrant on his head.
I don’t wait for him to notice me. Instead, I make my way around him until his back is to me (how do I manage to be so large and so quiet?) and then violently break away from the cover of cypress and land squarely on his scaly shoulders, a cocky smirk across my face. He isn’t much bigger than me at this stage of his development, but he is certainly strong. I can feel his muscles curl under my feet; his tendons go rigid in response to the surprise of my weight against him. Then we crash into the murky water and he rolls.
It shakes me loose, but I have been expecting it; I don’t latch onto him until he pauses to locate me again. I am ready, and I’m not waiting for him to roll again. I dig my teeth in and grind my hind paws into the relatively soft skin of his stomach, giving myself the proper leverage to efficiently tear at his throat. He gets another roll in, but the damage is done: I come away with part of his esophagus hanging out of my mouth.
I stand onshore, dripping blood and water from head to toe, and wait. A stranger’s voice rings out through the fog, followed shortly by Ishtar’s – it’s time to go. But I need to know that I’ve done my work. Another moment. I am rewarded by the proof of my success. The young crocodile floats slowly, limply, to the surface of his shallow domain, the brackish swamp water discolored by the blood that leaks from his neck. I will not have time to ravage the carcass now, but I may come back. The others of his kind should know what is coming. I turn smugly from his corpse and lope easily toward mother’s beckoning.
She is not alone; I am the last to arrive, after Andras and Lillith. But so appropriately dressed! How better to greet a group of angels than covered in reptile blood and stinking of murder? It seems poetic that I should stride in, fashionably late, reeking of everything that my father had been: the Reptile King. I am not king, of course, but I am Baphomet’s son – they will remember it this day. I take my place beside (though slightly behind) Ishtar, and look silently at the Angel queen. What brings her here? Peace with us is an effort in futility, if one were to ask me, and her choice in associates is less than impressive; both are young, one incredibly small. I note the male in the distance, however, and keep a wary eye on him.
