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.

He is a most bouncy, jumpy thing this boy and indeed for one so thin, for one lacking so much in care I am amazed to think, perhaps, of how much energy he might be given to have were he to be filled with food and rest and time spent in the company of other yearlings and two-year olds, a thing Diveen is being most rich in. I am thinking he is likening this prance I find within myself, though indeed my shoulder is given to twinge slightly with each playful stride. I should be most pleased when it is my shoulder is healed and it would be a lie most surely were I to say I did not fear that it would not heal in time for the birth of my pups, that I feared I could not play with them as I desired, nor lie upon my injured side to feed and nurse them. Yet, when I am given to think of the injures my Kane had received, that even to create the pups within had caused him great pain, I am most sure I am being selfish, that I should not think of injures my own when others were given to suffer much worse. I pushed away these thoughts for now, ignoring this pain within my shoulder as the boy of cream raced atop the snowy hill to dip and bow in play once more as I followed him, my longer limbs and thickened pelt assuring an ascent most smooth as my tail waved and I allowed another small bounce in play, not too much, no, for I must be careful of myself this night- yet still, I am taking pleasure in this thing. It has been far, far too long since I have played, since I have been as wolf and not as Queen. Perhaps I should be thankful to this boy, this mere child, for reminding me what it is I have been given to forget.
His head tilted as I spoke, as if perhaps he did not quite understand the words I was given to say and for a moment I feared that perhaps I had spoken wrongly, it does not happen so often, not anymore, for I am a wolfess grown and have spoken the common tongue for many years now. Yet still, sometimes my words are not…right and I was worried that perhaps this was the case, that he did not understand what I tried to offer to him. My fears however seemed most unfounded this night as his tail waved once more and excitement seemed to overtake his form. Goodness! It has been a long time since I have so pleased another with my words and truly I took amusement in this thing, my lips pulled into a grin as the boy spoke of his delight, asking for the direction in which we were to travel before he took it upon himself to spin. Well, I should not think Diveen is in all directions and yet I was allowing myself to chuckle softly this night as his…antics, yes, it is a pleasing thing to see someone so filled with life and yet I was given to be mostly shocked as he bounded towards me once more to lick at my cheek and I am most surely sure, that if it is possible a wolf could be blushing I am sure to have done this thing. I should hope my Kane does not hear of this! I allowed another delicate smile to pass across my lips at the thought of he who is my mate, perhaps he would be most jealous of this thing, to know I have taken up with another male in the middle of the night, such a scandal this thing would be. I allowed another gentle ring of laughter to slip softly from my lips at this. He is a child, young and strong and filled with energy and I do not mind his company this night, yet for as long as I am given to live….there will be none but my Kane. Never. We Angels are taught from the beginning that there is one, just one for whom our heats belong until the day we die. Mate-hood is for life, broken only by death and yet, if such a thing were to occur I should think I would never find another as he, my King, my Kane.
“I should think Diveen is being this way, come now Nootau. I is showing you.”
If Nootau is given to direct himself I am being most sure he would turn in circles all night. I moved to join him once more, brushing softly against him as I passed, lightly placing my own scent upon him, a mark all my own, a signature of sorts that would tell the others of Diveen that he was welcome amongst us this night should he choose to wander through the pack without my presence later this night. I strode beside him now, moving until I walked perhaps a little ahead, leading him onward and through the quite, snowy forest before descending downward. It was not walk to entirely long, not a journey to far for indeed I often do not stray too far from the Kingdom I call my own, I cannot bring myself to do as such, I dare not be to far to hear should another call for myself. I paused a moment atop the a ridge of sorts, the land dropping further away before spreading out and leading onward to Diveen as I moved to wander easily down this ridge, pausing to assure myself Nootau followed before we moved so silently through trees and mist, my whit pelt near invisible upon the snow as we wandered on, the woodland indeed, backs into my own pack and as the trees began to thin I felt myself once more draw close to my home, moving to step from the forest and pause upon the borderline of the land that rolled and towered before us.
It is beautiful indeed, even within the winter, the rolling plains, so green in spring, so gold in autumn and blanketed in snow that gleams in the darkness, the skies above a canvas of heaven and stars so easily seen from the plains of Diveen before they rise into the towering cliffs so many sleep within, the cliffs that reach for the heavens before the land falls away once more into a ravine, the falls glistening in the pale light, rumbling within the distance to spill into our river before it runs into Glroall. Diveen is a land most rich, most wide and most fertile, and land in which the sun baths all in gold and the cliffs and plains and falls provide an access of prey I know we are fortunate in. Diveen is not the boggy, prey-scarce marsh that is Iromar, it is not full of salt and sand as Glorall, it is not made entirely of cliff and hill as Spirane. It is heaven upon this earth and this is why it bares it’s name. For a moment I allowed the emerald and violet of my gaze to rest upon my companion, allowing him to view this land before I strode forward and onto the vast white plain.
“This is being Diveen, it is born of two old kingdoms, to very great kingdoms that is existing before the sky fell. The ravine pack of Paracon and the plateau pack of Trenus. Paracon was once home to the greatest of all warriors, a king none have ever defeated and once, Trenus was regarded as greatest of all packs, an empire like none have ever seen under a King most...unique. The Kings of these lands were being as Brothers. When the sky fell, the land changed and these Kingdoms fell together to create Diveen. We are being most fortunate indeed that the Kings of old still live, still reside within Diveen and help our Queen to rule it. Perhaps, if you is being lucky, you may meet them. Diveen is known as City of Angels, for it is often bathed in gold and guarded by the heavens above.”
I gestured upward in that moment, to the canopy of stars that lay like a blanket above, smiling gently in the dark, waiting for him to enter the land and ask any question he may have on all that I said.
