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.

I will not change the decision I had made, in this I am assured though it is not without grief. My Kane and I, together, we are making this decision to keep Devil from Iromar for I do not believe in the punishment they would give. Ruvindra had been bitten, yes, this I will not deny. Yet I did not bay for blood when Aaliyah, Malina and Amir were set upon by a wolf of Iromar. I did not demand war when Katsumi was taken by theu, when Andromeda was kidnapped and Micteca in turn, when my own imprint was slain upon this very earth- by Iroamr. I forgave. Again and again I forgave. I sheltered Vague and his daughter of Ruvindra when they needed this thing, I protected Dimirti, I allowed Rouge to birth her pups to my pack and I am knowing that he, Amissus Anima, declared enemy of Iromar was killed on orders of Heyel. I have forgiven the wolves of Iromar, I have protected them, watched over them as they birthed and taken from them their enemies and they seek to come against me with war when it is that my own Uncle causes a wound to one of theirs, a wound that will heal, a wound he gave out of grief and madness from loss of his child. Ishtar did not declare war for that, Beowulf. She declared war because she is hateful, spiteful and petulant. Look deeper, it is as Amir has said. She wanted only a reason, any reason and I have nothing but pity for she so lost within her own pride that she cannot see. So blind.
Yet, for all these things I have done it would seem I am repaid with war, my wolves broken and injured in defence of their home and now it would seem they seek my aide again. Perhaps, he, Beowulf, will not understand, for he does not see all that goes on. I have been benevolent and I have been laughed at for it. I wish not to blame the female before me for the actions of her pack, yet again and again I forgive and allow and again and again a wolf of Iromar steals, or maims or attacks or declares war upon my own. Each time I offer to them kindness I am repaid only with pain and I will do so no longer. This pack…..they is having only themselves to blame for this. I will not turn her away, no, I will not be allowing her to die upon my sands, yet nor will I shelter her without cause. She will do only what they have all done. She will take our kindness and return it with blood and fang. My kindness led us to war and it is seeming that I cannot allow such a thing any longer. She who lays before me is not to blame, no, no, yet she is choosing to follow her leader, she is choosing to attack my wolves- she did not have too. I allow the violet of my gaze to rest again the orange of his own this moment, nodding gently to these words he speaks in the tongue of ancients.
“I am not turning her away, Beowulf. She may stay until she is healed, this I will allow.”
I speak in the tongue that is common so that she of red and white will be given to understand that which I say, for I know not if she speaks such tongues. My eyes move once more to his own as I seat myself silently before him, listening softly to these things he speaks as my features are given to lift slightly in surprise. I knew not of these children, knew only he had fathered those upon Brooke. Perhaps this is why she has come, she seeks the father of her young in her time of need and perhaps, in this, I am understanding. I moved to watch the male most silently this moment, seeking the truth of his words within his gaze before I nodded once more.
“As I have said, I will heal her and she may be staying until she is well or until she desires to return to her home, yet indeed I will be taking this vow from you. She is yours to bare within this pack, if she lays fangs against a wolf of Diveen there will be consequence. I am sorry for this, but it must be so, each time I offer to them kindness, they return such only with hate. I cannot allow this again. She is charged to you then, Beowulf. I have much trust in you.”
I smiled gently, softly, reaching forward to touch my muzzle to his own in a gesture of respect for he who speaks so boldly for that which he believes before he moves to place his paws upon her side and stem the flow of blood so fresh. Perhaps, for the Father of her children, she would not seek to bring harm to any here as she recovered. Indeed it is that Beowulf has questioned my orders this day, yet he does not show insubordinates to my mind, indeed, he shows courage and in that I am holding respect. He speaks then to the injured one and I allow them this moment to do as such, though his words are bringing a feeling most…uneasy to my mind. A black wolf whom came upon the children? My thoughts did seem to move much further then this as Beowulf spoke once more and my attention returned to him as I offered the seeds to the female this day.
“There is not being good and bad in this, Beowulf. A mother is a mother, Angel or Demon, Fox or Bear, to protect young ones is beyond all else. I have never been believing they would eat their own and yet, the lowly one of white eyes is given to tell my Kane that he will skin the pups of Diveen and feed there bodies so lifeless so those creatures of the swamp, you yourself have just now said your own young are not safe with Iromar and yet now you say to me they are not so bad. Think well on your words, for they speak against each other. What would you have me believe? What would you be believing if you had been told as such about children your own, threatened in this way?”
My voice is calm and soft once more, for I hold no anger, I merely offer to him the words he offers in turn. I do not doubt they of mist and fog will protect their own young, yet the young of others? Perhaps there is no answer in this. He spoke a final time and once more I am given to nod, my head turned to she before she fell softly into sleep, my words offered to her in this moment.
“You do not understand that which I say. I do not fear you now, in your weakness, what it is I am fearing is that I will make you well, so that you will do as Iromar has done before….and return to punish my pack.”
I turned from her, seeking Beowulf a final time as she slept.
“If you wish to bring your children here, Diveen will guard them, keep them safe and raise them amongst our others, for they are your own and in this Diveen stands together. Yet on She, I must think further. If she is wishing to live within Diveen then this I will allow, I will allow for you all to live within these lands. Yet, if she desires to return to Iromar, so be it, she may visit with her children, if you choose they should live here, yet, whenever she is within this pack she is forbidden to be from your side. This is the command I make. If she is within these lands, she cannot be without you. I am sorry for this, but to many times I have allowed this kindness and to many times it has been broken and betrayed and a wolf most innocent attacked. She may join us- or she may visit with her children here if only you are with her at all times.”
I will not deny a mother her children, yet not will I be as she was. If she wanders from the side of Beowulf I will have her chased from this pack. It is done. I must protect what is mine and I have been more than fair in this judgement I make.
“She will sleep now and indeed it is being best for you to clean her wounds while she does so that they will remain clean and heal as they should. I will find more moss, she will live, Beowulf.”
