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.

I try not to squint every time I look at the wolf but with all this blasted fog, it's hard to see a damned thing. I would think they never see the sun here. Guess it's a good thing wolves don't tan. You can't even sunbathe. They probably have to go to the open lands to see anything other than this horrid stuff. From what I've heard of Iromar, the pack wolves here don't care much for sunshine and stars anyway. They mope around and look creepy and evil while eating huge lizards. I know they're called gators but still, to me, they're just a big fat lizard with sharp teeth. Sure, I bet they're a challenge to take down but why bother? Unless it's trying to kill you, why waste the energy? Training? Bullshit. Go find another wolf to take down. Go take down a slayer, then come talk to me. Where I come from, there's pack wolves, vampire wolves, and slayers. Slayers are few and far between. There used to be a time when there could only be one because of the intense training they had to go through but now I hear they travel in small packs of up to five at the biggest. That might be a challenge but I know how to separate and pick off one by one.
The wolf before me doesn't look very blood thirsty or mad though. Perhaps he got lost and wound up in Iromar? Or maybe he got stolen like me. He almost seems hesitant, his expression not wrinkled from frowning so much. A jester within the foggy pack? How quaint. He seems unsure of me, perhaps of how I'll react to coming here but what did he really expect? I've been stolen, for pete's sake! I got taken against my will and dragged here to this desolute place. How do I have a reason to be anything but annoyed at the least? I'm also angry, pissed off, actually. I prick my ears forward when he speaks again, telling me he came to find out about the outside lands and asking if I was a loner. Keyword: was. My lips twitch, eyes flashing a bright blue.
"You got that right. I was damn happy as a loner, too. Not that the lands outside are really that special, though they don't have this fog clouding up the area, that's for sure. They're just like any other land you go to, though. Trees, sky, rocks, dirt, grass. What did you expect?"
I can't help but tilt my head, puzzlement showing through the irritation in my eyes. Why the hell does he want to know about the outside lands? does he expect something different than what he already knows? He acts as if he's never been outside of these lands. Surely he wasn't born here because he looks older and I know Moladian hasn't been livable for a decade. I should know, I showed up right after the sky fell. It was uninhabitable, fire and wastelands everywhere. I couldn't stay long, the smoke was choking my lungs. I just came through to pick out some weak victims that others left for dead and to find out who didn't make it. That's how I found out about dear old Kong, my mentor. I enjoyed crushing his skull.
The wolf looks unsure of what to do with me now that he has me. Shouldn't he be giving me a bloody tour or something? Or at least giving me the name of my captor, cause I really want to meet her. I've got a few choice words for her. He seems to be filing through his own mind; I can practically see the wheels turning. Finally he says he can take me to my captor. My lips tug into a satisfied smirk. Now we're talking.
"Lead the way."
I answer back, my ears pricked and my tail twitching with restless energy. He starts walking, though it looks funny cause he's holding himself so low. I narrow my eyes in curiosity of his strange ways but choose not to comment, merely snorting softly and shaking my head as I start to follow him. Suddenly I sense someone else approaching. I pause instantly, my head snapping around, a predator's eyes piercing through the fog and then she touches me, running her side along mine and my skin shudders with a mixture of shock and pleasure. I tense up instantly, ears flicking toward her, bright blues watching with intrigue as the delicate creature dances away from me with a giggle after placing a light nip on my shoulder. So somebody likes to use teeth, eh? I can play that game. Amusement and dark thoughts dance in my eyes as I watch her like a man entranced, my tail flicking with mischief. Well, at least I won't get bored with this one. She just thinks I'll be her play toy. Matter of fact, I just might make her MY play toy, and she'll like it too.
Her words are strange to me, the way she speaks, my lips twisting down in a scowl of puzzlement. What do I seek? My purpose? Do we really have to have this conversation? She sonds like a therapist. I don't do therapy. It's not for everyone. My lips tug into a sneer, blue eyes narrowing in challenge, my voice a soft growl, tantalizing and teasing.
"Well since you ask, sweet thing, I was only seeking you to ask why the hell you brought me here and as for my purpose? To survive, just like everyone else, and enjoy myself while I'm at it. I might have a different way of surviving than most, but its the only way for me. There's no help for that."
