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 moved to sit myself more comfortably this day as it was I spoke with my Andromeda, mate of my brother most loved and mother of my nieces and nephews, a pair most truly and beautifully blessed, the largest family within my pack, of this I am sure, for I know of no other pair to whom some many pups have been born and indeed, more so, no other pair, not even myself and my Kane have been honoured with pups whom are born in good health time and time again. Though my Father will not see nor say it, Azrael is as he in so many, many ways. Just as Heyel before him, my brother has fathered many children and each is healthy and perfect, untouched, unblemished and untainted by the misfortune that has befallen even my own Haziel and Ariel, though in this moment I care little to think of such things, nor fill my mind with worry as I turn to the dark one before me, her own words much the same as that which turned within my mind on the matter of my brother and his…abilities, perhaps, within this thing, a smile all my own lifting to my lips as I allowed a soft chuckle.
“My siblings and I were given to think for much time indeed, that of us all, Azrael would well be the last to sire a litter, if at all, yet to see him father so many and guard them as he does is a most surprising thing, though one I am being pleased to see. He has surprised us, truly and from that which I am seeing, he is indeed a good father.”
I had never doubted his ability perhaps, to be being a good father to children his own, what I had no belived perchance was that he would settle into the company of another. I had been doubtful of his finding a mate, let alone an imprint, for though I love my brother truly and dearly, I am knowing indeed that he is not being the easiest of all to spend time with. He speaks often and loudly, he speaks his mind, he is strong-willed and hard-headed and….emotional as none of my other brothers are, though I am assured indeed that this is because of Mother. He was so close to her, so close and her loss so young has seen each insecurity come to light. She was his protector and he is lost in a world without her. She would be proud though, of this I am sure, of Andromeda, of the children they have, of a family so wonderful, so blessed. She moved then to speak further of her own children, violet eyes given to rest against her own as she spoke of each of her newest, the boy of red, Mithos, along with his siblings, speaking of the marks upon them, Angel and Star alike, my head given to nod softly as she did.
“From that which I am seeing, I see only happiness amongst pups your own. I am thinking perhaps, that all mothers desire as such for their small ones.”
I spoke gently, easily once more before it was I was given to question the darkened female of what else it is she may desire within this life, within this pack, asking if indeed it was that she desired more for herself then to be a guardian of small ones, though indeed there is no shame in such rank or work. Pups are those whom will one day lead, they are the future of Diveen, a resource unlike any other and indeed only the most trusted of all my be given to act as Pup-Sitters for Diveen. It is simply that I am believing indeed that within Andromeda, there are other skills, greater skills and yet that which I have in mind will surely require a knowledge of that which she already knows so well: children. When she spoke once more I allowed my delicate head to turn back towards her, meeting her gaze with level ease once more, head tilting slightly as she spoke, her words…unexpected and yet far from unwanted as curious interest formed upon my softened snow features. She spoke of Lithirum, a pack of the past and yet one I remember still, much of my early healing learned from Niviaq, a wolfess of the ocean, a small pack and yet one that long held the friendship of Trenus within it when it was Soldat had led. Of this…Starshade I know little, my mind surely to young to have remembered such a wolfess though indeed I find myself given to smile gently, softly and with evident humour to hear indeed that Heyel had been….involved. I am not liking so much to hear that he had exploited youth and yet I am not so very sure I am surprised at such, curious indeed of this story as she continues, stating indeed that she was ready to be more as perhaps she was once destined to be.
She shifted slightly, hesitation within her form before she continued once more, speaking of her old pack land and of a boy whose name I do not know. Rosco? A blind boy….there were others? For a moment perhaps I found a question most foolish atop my tongue, to hear such a thing, to know another existed….I was most eager to ask where it was such a boy could be found, that I might speak with he whom had shown such things to Andromeda, that perhaps, were he to have the time he would speak with Haziel or indeed, allow me to see him….simply see him, to convince myself of that which I cannot, that my son will be alright and yet- I know most surely, by the way in which Andromeda speaks….that this child no longer lives, that he too was lost the night the sky fell and I find myself in a place most hopeless once more. I try not to think of these things, of how my Haziel will be limited, how he will never see sun, or sky, or the golden fields of Diveen. He will never see his siblings or his sire…or even myself. He knows not what he misses, this is true, yet I cannot turn my mind from these thoughts all the same.
“Yes, Andromeda, this is being what pack is for and…perhaps, if another has done as such before, then Haziel will be the same. Yet what if ever he decides to live DIveen? What if another is eve given to take our home from us? My Kane and I cannot watch over him forever and it is this I fear. Though your words are most wise, truly. This Rosco you is speaking of…does he….live still?”
I was assured already I knew this answer, though I saw no harm is asking this thing before I allowed my gaze to rest upon her once more and ask after the task that had been only recently given to myself, one I wished to share, for I desired the words of one so wise as she, one capable of leading in some fashion and own with a knowledge that perhaps exceeds my own in this.
“I am wishing to ask a task of you, Andromeda, for I am believing most surely that it is within you to achieve. A treaty has been being made with Glorall, with Tesseract we is agreeing not on full alliance, but on a friendship of sorts, they we will be living in harmony side-by-side. I sought this treaty for this reason, for Glorall is closer then any other pack to Diveen and I is not allowing danger to linger so close. Tesseract is being in agreement and indeed, come the next winter, if all is well, we will speak of full alliance. With this I am having no issue, it is with his request I am finding…fault.”
I do not mistrust Tesseract, I am merely cautious as I must be. I desire to trust him and yet it is that I speak for all of Diveen, not merely for myself and above all I must protect the interests of that which is mine. Perhaps I am seen as benevolent, as a weak Queen, I do not know, I know only that they whom believe such things are foolish and blind. Let them believe as they will, but I have not yet fallen, I have ruled longer then any other since the forming of this new Moladion and I am far from weak of mind. I merely seek the opinion of another most trusted upon that which Tesseract has offered.
“Tesseract of Glorall is wishing for the children of Diveen, those of one year and under, to my understanding, to visit and associate with those of Glorall to help better build bonds within our packs. I am trusting indeed, that he is being sincere in this and, perhaps I am foolish- yet I will not risk the children of my own pack. I am liking indeed that this meeting occur within the free lands, within Diveen or indeed, if he is desiring for it to occur within Glorall, that a number of wolves my own are in accompaniment, yet I know not how best to offer such terms. I do not mistrust him, yet, to bring our children into the pack of another unguarded I will not do. He is not his Mother, yet both he and his mate are from Iromar, it is said they are responsible for the sins upon Vidar, their own brother. I will not be tricked, I will not risk the lives of our children and I am wishing Andromeda, for you to negotiate these terms, to travel to Glorall when you is ready, to speak to Tesseract and organise this meeting of children to the best of judgement your own, for I trust in you to do this.”
I know well of the enormity of this, of what I ask and yet….if she can be trusted with my own children, if she can organise for this thing and assure all is well I will know above all that she is one with whom my trust may lay firm and assured, that she is capable of making actions and decisions of diplomacy for the whole of Diveen.
