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.

�There is no victory with no loss.�

Voltaire and I used to be close, like mentor and student. He was there when I killed my first prey and he was there when I first learned to fight. Almost like a father figure, he was my best friend and I would have followed him anywhere before that night. However, before fatherly feelings could develop, he turned my world upside down. I watched him kill my mother and as I ran, I heard the screams of my sister. When I turned, I saw her dead at his paws. Who else was there to blame? I didn't see any other wolves around nor did I smell any. Of course, my panic for my own life could have distracted me from paying much attention but I'm sure I would have noticed if there was other wolves around. No, Voltaire was the only wolf there to end the lives of both my mother and my sister. He must be lying when he says he didn't do it. I just don't understand why, when he's already admitted to why he ended my mother's life, that he would still lie about my sister's death.

I'm one of the only wolves who knew his true name before he became Vague. He was Voltaire to my family and I while he stayed with us. He never became the father I didn't have in the beginning. Instead, Devil took that spot. He trained me to fight, how to defend myself and without him, I don't know where I'd be today.

I can sense Nootau's confusion as he looks from wolf to wolf. He can't seem to understand what either Voltaire or I are going through and he doesn't know whose side to take, not that I would ever ask him to take a side. I don't know him and he doesn't know me so why should he trust me? From what I've heard, he does know Voltaire though.

I can't find myself being too angry at Voltaire now that understand the true meaning behind his mercy kill on my mother. She would have never survived that attack, but that doesn't excuse the death of my sister. I can't help but still blame him for the loss of that life. Who else is there to blame?

I see Devil looking between us as well. He seems to see something genuine in Voltaire's expression, his eyes softening. Does he believe the sadness he sees there? I trust Devil's judgement so if he trusts Voltaire in what he says about my mother, then I have no reason not to trust it as well. But like me, he also sees the need for more explanation. What happened to my sister?

Heyel seems to be searching both our faces for genuine feelings before he voices what we're all thinking. My eyes seem to glow with a sense of justice. That is what I would like to know. At my growl, Voltaire stares at me as if that will bring out the truth. Instead he just admits that its all he remembers and my eyes blaze. That can't be true! Someone killed my sister!

Suddenly a dark shadow appears in the corner of my vision. I snap my head around in shock, eyes blinking as I take in Zen. She approaches Voltaire, not looking scared but like she can see something the rest of us can't. I prick my ears toward her as she says his name, asking if he remembers anything else. She jumps to something else then, asking if he remembers why he tried to kill me the second time. I blink at her a few times, tilting my head some as I try to understand. What does that have to do with this? I look to Voltaire, sensing his sudden unease. He starts denying it before asking why she's accusing him. My ears flicker uncertainly. I'd like to know that as well.

Then she starts explaining. A split personality? My head jerks back as if slapped, my ears flicking back in shock. My gaze darts back to Voltaire, watching the anger slowly recede as it sets in. Could this be true? Zen continues, saying he wasn't born with it, that something must have triggered it. Voltaire seems to think before he looks down toward his paw and I notice for what seems like the first time, just how scarred it is, like someone tried to rip it to pieces. I look back up at him, questioning in my gaze. As if reading my mind, he goes into a story about how he was kidnapped by a bigger pack who tortured him and the alpha ended up marking him for his continued loyalty even though his home pack never came for him. It's a sad tale, my tail drooping behind me as my eyes soften in sympathy. I'd never heard this story of how he met my mother.

I watch him for a moment as the fear spills into his eyes. Voltaire is...scared. My eyes widening, I make up my mind and take a step forward toward him, my head lowering harmlessly as my ears fold forward.

"I never knew. Voltaire....you must have blacked out after what happened to my mother....you didn't know what you were doing. I...never knew."

My voice trails off, my gaze dropping to my paws as I try to understand. So does this mean Voltaire blacked out and his split personality took over? So my sister is dead and no one can remember why? I don't want to blame Voltaire. He didn't know what he was doing; he couldn't control it. At the same time, I've always wanted justice for what happened to my family. So why do I feel less anger toward him? If anything, I feel sympathy. All those things that were done to him...I don't know if I could be so strong. It makes sense for how he is now. He looks so scared, so vulnerable. So is this the real Voltaire? Finally I gaze back up at him, my voise soft.

"Voltaire...I may never get back the loved ones that I lost, but I see now that being angry at you won't bring them back. Can we...just start over?"
