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.

Maybe I have become a little jaded, maybe I have become a little bitter, yet what else is to be expected? I am stuck here day in and day out on the outskirts of life itself. Mother goes away longer and longer, sometimes she doesn’t come home for days on end. We no longer need her milk I suppose, Ego and I, at a year old we have nearly overtaken her in height and I think, sometimes, even I see that little bit of fear in her eyes. We are as our Father in that regard. Size, bulk, power- they come from the sire line and it seems very well to me that we will be everything this pack already seems to fear, a pack of perfection, a pack based on a bloodline I descend directly from and yet one I am apparently not worthy to behold, or more so we are not worthy to behold, none of us. Not me, not Ego, not Alyx though even he goes away of late. I don’t know why I even stay, there is no rule that says I must live in Diveen. I suppose though, I’ve never actually been outside the pack, I suppose some part of myself still has some fear of what’s on the outside and Ego, well, he doesn’t want to leave, he thinks we have a reason to be here, he says there is something he wants from this place though he won’t say what. I don’t care. We’ve learned to live with each other a little better then before. I still hate it when he affects me, when his anger bleeds into my veins and yet I suppose I just got used to him being there, seeing what I see, giving me his opinion on every second thought he has. I don’t know what or who I’d be without him I suppose.
Today we climbed higher and up onto a large boulder above the den Alyx and I barely even fit into anymore, then again, maybe it’s for the better we live out here, growing in secret, getting so much taller, bigger, heavier then any of the others- even that idiot with the red shoulders who comes by sometimes just to glare at me. It used to bother me, Azrael, but I guess I don’t mind anymore, he’s just doing his patrol and he never actually says anything, just stares and walks away. Large white paws rested atop the heated boulder as we lowered ourselves to the stone, stretching out in the sun, head of black and red laying atop our paws and emerald eyes turned out of the empty land. I wonder, sometimes, if my Aunt and Alpha even knows I exist. I have never seen her, well, not up close I totally thought I saw her this one time but Ego said it was someone else, he said a lot of the Angels look the same, white and red, apparently theses even one who’s got some gold on him, the Prince. I think I’d like to see this gold and white boy, Ego though……says other things.
Elijah? Yeah?
I mumbled the word, feeling sleepy, sighing in contentment as the sun hit my back, long, gangly limbs hanging down from the boulder.
The wind changed, Angel Boy So?
Cousin Ava’s coming, can’t you smell her? We can’t all be ever-aware Ego
I can, my Assassin skills might actually save us one day, if it was up to you Angel Boy, we’d be dead.
I sighed, irritated firstly that he was right and secondly because I hadn’t noticed her first. I huffed irritably as he snickered inside my head, rolling into a seated position as the large, black female came forward. I managed something of a smile, after all, she was Ego’s friend apparently, though I sure didn’t remember us ever meeting her or doing anything with her. I waited until she came a little closer, emerald eyes tilting down towards her as I managed a nod of sorts. I know, I’m a hypocrite, I talk about how I hate everyone, how I don’t really care but as soon as someone shows up I guess I just…..I just want to be liked, I just want….some acknowledgement from someone that I actually matter. I’m not an Angel, I’ not a Demon……I’m both at the same time, there is no one else like me, like us and I guess, maybe I’m hoping someday there will be. My ears pricked forward at her words, head tilting slightly as she spoke the Angel words Ego detested so much, his mumbling inside my mind indication enough that his thought son that hadn’t changed, even with our surviving our first year of life.
“Lorem Elias, non est hic additur ego elit. Bene est, crimen non est; sed elit. Ego sum.”
(I'm Elijah, Ego isn't here right now. Well, he is, but he's not in charge today. I am.)
I attempted to be polite, offering her a grin of sorts while Ego shouted something about not looking like a puppy. I didn’t! There was nothing wrong with being polite or friendly now was there? Apparently he thought there was. I folded my paws atop each other, continuing to look down towards this Cousin Ava I didn’t remember missing. She was awfully big, just like Ego has said and all black too. I didn’t think Angels could be black. Yet…that wasn’t all I noticed. Her form was sleek and toned and fit, yet even I cannot miss the scent of milk that runs from her. She is a Mother.
“Where are your puppies? I thought Assassins didn’t birth pups until much later.”
Well, that’s what I hear, Ego’s been surprisingly knowledgeable on Assassins lately. Even so I stretched easily and leapt from the boulder, coming to seat myself in front of Ava, ignoring Ego entirely for now despite his yelling.
Speak the Latina Elijah, she won’t like it if you don’t and when you get bitten I’ll laugh. If I get bitten Ego, so do you.
That shut him up, a small smirk lacing my features before my attention returned to this Cousin Ava. Maybe Ego wasn’t here right now exactly but I was entirely sure I could be just as good as an Assassin, maybe then someone would pay attention to me, maybe then they’d let me into the main part of the pack. Ignoring Ego, I spoke again.
“What task is it? Maybe….maybe I could do it? I don’t know how to get Ego to come but I can do anything just as well as he can.”
I sat a little taller, attempting to look entirely as capable as Ego probably did.
