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.
By the hands of doom [Ishtar & Taji] IP: 69.131.89.204 Posted on December 4, 2013 at 03:41:28 PM by Chael
On the wings of death, by the hands of doom By the darkest light from the darkest moon Crossing silent seas over mountains high For we stand as one tonight - Dragonforce “Valley of the Damned”
Chael raised his head only slightly so that he could look into her silver face as she spoke to him. His heart sunk further into depression at her wet cheeks and the glisten in her eyes that only tears brought. Her request surprised him. In fact, his first instinct was to shout no and explain to her that she must never ask him permission, for he was a servitor, and unworthy of that respect. But, the word caught in his throat because he knew that such a brutal denial would surely crack her currently fragile emotional state. Instead, he stepped forwards and licked the side of her muzzle, tasting the salty tears that had soaked into her fur there. ”Of course you may,” Chael replied.
He thought for a moment about picking the small puppy up and carrying her, but that would leave him no way to carry Lurid back to the pack. Instead, he decided that she would have to follow on her own paws and show some of that demon resilience that would serve her well in the future. It pained him to have to let her do this, but without a parent, there was no one left to teach her besides him, unless one of the other demons saw it fit to teach her. The thought sent Chael into a panic, for he knew he couldn’t teach her the proper ways of a demon. He was a servitor, the lowest of the pack, and that’s all the he could teach her, right? How to be submissive and to suffer to that others didn’t need to.
She had far too brilliant a mind for such things… Chael offered her a sad grin and then turned away to Lurid to hide his saddening eyes. He couldn’t take in a puppy. He was a wretch creature already and couldn’t protect a family in the way they needed. But, somehow, despite Chael’s fears of parenthood, of protection, of providing, and of passing down his job, he would never turn the small pup away. If she needed him, he would be there for her. Chael glanced behind him to see if the black-eared pup had risen to follow him as he grasped the stiffening scruff of Lurid.
He was sad that he would have to drag the carcass across the ground, but there was no way to get the wolf onto his back. She was small though, so at least only her haunches would be dragged across the ground. Chael lifted the dead mother’s head and front off of the swamp ground, and pulled her by backing away from the water’s edge. Once he was safely on dry ground, Chael set her down lightly and then switched positions so that he would carry her by his side, as a leopard would as it carried prey to a tree. Here, Chael paused again to make sure that Lurid’s puppy was behind him before he started to weave his way across the swamp. It would take longer to get the pack because he couldn’t use short cuts over water, but at least the puppy would be safe by him and Lurid wouldn’t be in danger of sinking into the black depths of the swamp.
Every so often on the way back, he paused to locate Lurid’s daughter, and then he continued on, slowly, so that the small pup could keep up with him. Then, finally, they entered camp. An outsider might have found the scene a confusing one, for the puppy following him looked as if she could have been the product of him and the maimed body he was carrying. But, this was his pack, as they would know at the very smell of Lurid what had happened to her. Nervously, Chael crossed the inhabited area to the den sight of Ishtar and Haedes. Gently, he set the white wolf’s form down and lifted his head as he called, “Ishtar, the Absolute of Iromar, and Blood Mouth of Hell. I request your audience.”
It was surprising how calm Chael was addressing one of the wolves he feared most. This was perhaps one of the very few times Chael seemed confident (when he was standing at his full height with his head raised only slightly). Addressing an alpha, but having them not yet in sight, was something Chael was quite happy with. However, the moment he could see the glow of Ishtar’s wondrous eyes, he would cower. He always did and his fearful respect of the female leader always humbled him and always reminded him of why he wasn’t a demon, why he was unworthy of such a title, and why he was thankful that they allowed him to live.
He searched for the pup that had followed him. He wasn’t sure how to raise a pup… but if this was her first time meeting Ishtar… then he should at least guide her, right? He lowered his head and whispered to her, “Be respectful, young one, but do not cower as I do.” Chael then returned his gaze to the den, feeling very guilty that he was looking after the pup for now. She deserved a far better guardian than he; one that was strong of mind and of better rank.
