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.

Mother and father are being most annoying. I do not feel bad saying it or thinking it because it is completely true. They have been screaming at me all day, telling me I must care for my brothers, that I must keep them safe, that I am in danger. Well, mother is most adamant on such things. Father is angry lately, ever since I found mother curled up covered in red. I awoke to them yelling inside me, and all day I have been running around trying to find their corporeal forms rather than just their voices. They have gone somewhere and I am frustrated because I cannot find them, I do not understand and because they will not leave me alone. I... do not know how to show such a thing, though, so I simply run and leap over logs and through mud, hoping to lose the feeling somewhere along the line. At least, I am thinking, Istas and Vainglory have been quiet though they, too, are hard to find. I hear her laughter though, always in the back of my mind now. I am slightly obsessed with listening to the sound, I think. The lady in the outer rim. I am the sun that never sets and the dawn that never rises... I am the sun that never sets and the dawn that never rises. Over and over and over, all while mother tells me I must find my brothers.
So, I give up and I do.
Without all the adults, Iromar is so quiet. I find it quite enjoyable, though, and once I resign to my task, I find even inside me is silent. I am entirely alone as I roam, becoming one with the mist and mud. It is another thing I have realised. Even my brothers are most obsessed with keeping their appearances spotless - they are beautiful creatures - but I simply do not. I cannot, I think. Instead, my fur is all over the place, ungroomed and splashed with mud up my legs and belly. It is as if I am becoming part of the very world around me. Or that you're just really stinky! It's the first time he's spoken today, or giggled at least. Istas. He is close by, I am sure of it.
I see him then, hiding it would seem, though I am oblivious to such. I simply do as I usually do, which is approach in my usual silence before stopping suddenly beside him. I do not even look over - I merely look where he is looking, my head cocked as I watch and listen to Vainglory and others in the distance. I can hear Vainglory in the distance, saying that he is Prince and it is then that I look to Istas - curious, most curious.
"Want to look?"
I ask with a wave of my tail before I move off, loping over the mud and loam until I come to the group that has gathered. I see the strangers - one grey and one like us, but different. He has blood on him. Like mother. Who is he? Solaris - it is a name I had heard and yet, who can be sure. We are playing games it seems for Vainglory is Prince today. Bad...bad...bad. I can hear mother mumbling far away but I simply roll my dead eyes, passing my gaze to the strange girl that leaps forward to tap Adalmund with her paw, claiming that he is indeed it. No, she is wrong. He is not an it. He is a boy, with a name, from Iromar. I shake my head as the grey boy talks. This lot is strange.
"Why am I not it?"
I stare into the girl, my head tilted and gaze unwavering. When I speak, I do not change my expression. I simply... ask, because I must know. Why is this boy with a name just it today? Why is my brother Prince? Who am I going to be? I look to Vainglory, shifting closer with a most quizzical look - he will know. He and Istas are the smartest, besides our parents, so I am sure he will know what is happening.
"Friends?"
...Or foes? I leave the second half silent, pursing my lips as I shift my gaze to each of the Iromar children. They will surely know my question. Surely they are all asking such a thing inside their own minds, too. For now, though, I shall stand watch over them. Though I am slight - narrow, too long in the leg and already undeniably thin - I am a guardian to my brothers.
