News - SUMMER
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.

-- Arturio

I am pleased to know this boy knows his place. He puts his ears back in my presence, as he should, and he doesn't have that stupid smile on his face that I hate so much. What can I say, smiles can look stupid on puppies. They can also look stupid on adults. He even narrows his eyes when I do. How cute. He is trying to imitate me. Of course, I am the one superior to all others on this planet. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and praise. However, I decided to look at my foot because, well, I wanted to. This boy needs to learn that thing are done at my pace, when I feel like it. Making my apprentice wait is my way of showing that I am in charge, and he will very well get over it. I look back at his little...design, seeing his hidden excitement in the corner of my eyes. Of course he will not be happy about what I say. I know what he was getting at, too bad though. Unfortunate that this isn't on my answer list. I am calm and collected as the boy has his little hissy fit. I show absolutely no emotion or reaction to his little protest, at least not at first.

"If I killed you and ripped you apart, and then shaped your mangled body into the shape of moose antlers, would it make your dead body moose antlers? Are you saying you would then be moose antlers? Should I do this now, hm?"

I ask, my head tilted slightly as a very slight wicked grin touches my obsidian face. I place my large, foreboding, yet elegant paw on the ground as I lift my intimidating form up off the ground, my copper eyes burning into the younger boy like I was well ready to rip him apart right then and there. I care not for his scowl as I allow my black hackles to slightly raise, to show that I am larger and I am superior. That he should not argue with me with his silly logic. Sure, clever answer boy, but not good enough. He is not getting around what truly needs to happen, and he can go rot at the edge of the pack lands if that is what he wishes. He has potential, to be great or to be food for worms and beetles.

However, I am a kind lady when I wish to be. Sometimes I give mercy to those that are under me. I know to be harsh, to show the boy that reality isn't some nice playground. I do know that a reward can be tempting to some, a reason to go on when their lives are reasonless and meaningless. He needs meaning, and he needs reason, because he had none on his own. He is truly nothing, and I give him the something that no one else dare give. I am what he needs in the world, this cruel, unforgiving world. He better damn well know it too.

I can see the change on his face when I mention the next task once he completes what I want. Good. I stand still, towering over him but allowing my features to fall into a static ghostly gaze once again.

"It will one day help you, to get what you want. To learn what goes on in the mind of others, is a powerful thing. That is why, my dear, you must never let others know what is going on in your mind...that is why you, my apprentice, needs to keep his other half in line. Do you understand? Don't let him fuck this up."

My words get harsh at the end like poisoned thorns along the stem of a rose, for there is always beauty in my wondrous vocals. I lock my gaze with his as he smirks. My tail is still behind me, only allowing a single flicker as I stare him down once more. After a moment of silence, a silence so thick and suffocating to many, I snort as I lift my head higher in the chilled winter air, allowing my hot breath to rise in a sacred dance of life.

"Be gone. I expect to see you again soon, and I expect that we will get to our next task when you return." I command, as I turn my large greyscale form with such grace. My vixen frame falls into the depths of shadow and mystery that is my den, for I am done with him for now. I leave when I wish, and he will regret stepping into my den if he dare do it. From within my copper eyes will watch for him to leave, and expecting to see him return with what will please me. He must learn to do what pleases me first, then real progress can be made.
