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.

I did not imagine Istas would be the one to leave us all first, not at all. I had watched him leave the den though I remained hidden away in the fur of both mother and Vainglory. I am not so sure what it is he seeks out there though perhaps it is father - mother says he sometimes sleeps away because of his special dreams. I have asked father about these dreams but he has yet to answer me. Perhaps Istas is leaving to find the special dreams? Why would I go to find special dreams? I don't know. I guess he's never been the type to be like father - no, no, he is much prettier than all of us with his long, curled fur. I don't think the words pretty and strange, as mother calls the special dreams, are synonymous. Exactly! Maybe I'm just looking for pretty. If that's the case, then I shall look for strange.
I wait some time, a long time in fact, before I go to move. I am not so sure if Vainglory will come though I dare not wake mother up - she will tell me no, and she will drag Istas back with me. It's the only way to keep you all from surviving...you must survive. She's always been afraid of something. I don't want to make it worst so instead, I sneak out just as silently as Istas had. I am nothing like him, though, not truly. His eyes are like father's, so white like his wonderful fur but mine are not. Mother always looks strange when she looks at me, and I have heard her use the word 'dead' to describe me at times; maybe that is why she is so afraid. My eyes are glazed over for eternity, and my fur is messy, unmanageable and all over the place. You're still perfect! Just not perfect in the same way as Istas and Vainglory I am sure.
I have seen the outside world before, both asleep and awake but I am still surprised. Mother calls this place Iromar and it is very much grey. It reminded me of a time when my eyes were new, when they could not see so well. It's not very pretty... Well, I think it is in its own way. So much so that I stand for some time to simply watch, staring out before I decide to finally follow where I thought Istas was going. Somebody beat me to it, though, and I am soon confronted by not only Istas looking panic stricken but also a strange wolf laughing at him. She is black and red, like blood, and she says words that I think are quite cruel. I wait, hidden behind the long grass for some time as I simply listen in to what the pair speak - keep your brother safe! - yes, yes, I will in time. First, I learn her name.
It is then that my brother begins to shout, making himself even filthier in the process. I am not so bothered by the mud that has flicked up over my legs and sides - it makes me look like father, see. But Istas worries. Why are you okay with smelling so bad? I guess it makes me easier to hide, but sooner than I think that do I finally emerge from my hidden position. I emerge only to stare at the blood-stricken girl with corpse-like eyes and my features blank. I just... stare, uncertain as to why she has made my brother run away from her.
"You always look good."
I say this to my brother, shrugging my shoulders before I turn my attention to the girl once more. I tilt my head, once to the left and once to the right as I consider her in silence.
"Maybe you smell horrible, Elesor."
As I say this, I finally break my attention from her to follow my brother, hoping he will at least stop now. I do not want to go home yet but I do not think I want to be out here all alone just yet. It would be nice if we could stay out here, even if he smells like I do and his fur is not quite right. If he is so bothered, I will fix it for him. Still, I am most curious as to the words the girl had said prior and I ensure I glance back to beckon her forward with a single wave of my tail. She was mean to your brother, though... yes, but she is also the first other I have met. She is strange of colour and is not like us. That in itself is exciting.
