I'm sure Tesseract has good reason for giving Rogue the opportunities she has been given. I'm not saying she doesn't deserve it. She's been nothing but loyal to Glorall since coming here and she's pulled her weight plus some. I hear she's even stolen a wolf from the open lands to add tot he ranks, at least for now. I don't deny her her pride in what she is. I have no bias when it comes to Angels and Demons. The feud means nothing to me. I know nothing about Rogue's family life or what life was like for her growing up. I know I grew up in the Tundra, where blizzards are the norm and life is about nothing but survival. I shut down my emotions for most of my life, never letting anyone in because in the Tundra, to love is to die. It makes you weak. My mother died when I was just a teen but I never got to shed a tear. The pack moved on before she could even draw her last breath but everyone knew it was a losing battle. She stared at me with loving eyes as I walked away because if I'd stayed with her, I would have died with her. I had a litter once in the Tundra but they never made it past a week. Pups had to be survivors or they wouldn't make it. Mothers had to choose a lucky pup to carry in their mouth while they forced the rest to travel on foot and hope to keep up. I tried my best to carry them all in equal measurements but it wasn't enough. One by one, they surrendered to the cold and I had to leave their tiny corpses behind. It was a turning point in my life. I shut down after that...until I met Cobryn. Somehow he got past my barriers I'd carefully erected and our friendship blossomed into something more. Now I have three blessed children, two of which are close while the other is Tor knows where. I just hope Solitaire is safe and okay. That's all I wish. Covet, the son of Cobryn and Jaidah, is still like my own flesh and blood. I helped raise him after Jaidah left. I don't see him much but I know he's in Moladian. He's already ventured to Glorall once to ask about his father but I never got to tell him the truth, that his father is dead and not coming back. I already know I won't find another to hold my heart. I'll probably never find another to hold my soul. I used to put everything into rising up in the ranks. I was Beta in Judila for both Arsenic and Jaidah. I made my name as ready to throw down authority with a firm hand but I was never a bitch about it. I knew hot to control a pack hunt and I knew how to get wolves to come to the pack. I could stop quarrels within the pack peacefully and I watched over it when the alpha needed a break. That was when I was in my prime of course. I dont' mind that Tesseract doesn't look at me for those higher roles. I know I'm not as effective anymore. I don't really go out of the pack lands anymore so I'm not as good at recruiting. I don't like to steal wolves and I'm sure a lot of the younger wolves in the pack would just look at me as an elderly figure that can easily be walked over. But maybe I can find my niche somewhere. Rogue wags her tail in response, telling me that where I stick to water, she sticks to leader she deems worthy of her time. That's a respectable trait. I nod in acknowledgement. "Yes, SilverTongue's death was a surprise. He wasn't very old. It must be a small world." I shrug it off lightly that she knows Tesseract, not wanting her to think that I judge against her for it. She tells me that she likes Glorall, that she hated the smell in Iromar. I wrinkle my nose up at the thought, nodding in agreement. "Luckily, I can't say that I've ever been there but from what you describe, I doubt I'd enjoy it much either. I hear the pack of Iromar has new leadership. Did you have ambitions in their pack when you called it home or did you always plan on leaving for somewhere new? I don't mean to sound nosy, I'm just intrigued. You don't hear about a lot of Iromar wolves close in the fold leaving willingly. They seem to believe their power lies in staying together. You're the first wolf I've met from there." My eyes gleam with open curiosity, wanting her to know that I hold no ill intentions for any information she gives me. I've always had a strong curiosity, for good or bad. |
