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.
who will cast the first stone? IP: 71.77.215.83 Posted on May 15, 2014 at 02:19:43 PM by C A L I G U L A & MARADONA
The pair of them moved in unison. It was getting harder to distinguish who was the child and who was the adult as they moved across the lands. Caligula took the lead but not by much. Already Maradona had grown through her final growth spurt. It would be only a matter of time until Tesseract would have to worry about male suitors and grandchildren. Caligula silently welcomed the idea with open paws, children to spoil rotten and return to her own children for instruction. It would be glorious. Maradona meanwhile was trying desperately to master the silence that Caligula so easily displayed. The younger was more focused on earning the crown that had been thrust upon her than what exactly their mission was on that particular day.
The day itself was beautiful. The blue skies a pale robin egg's blue with only a few clouds to offer any protection from the warm rays of the sun. It was one of the rare winter days when the world was not cold, dark and miserable. Caligula moved silently, slowing their pace as they approached the borders of Iromar. How long had it been since she had left? Since their mother had lost the throne and opted to stay beneath the rule of a beast that listened to no one. It was ironic that he should be eaten by the alligators that Ruvindra had lived without issue. Four years of living in the freelands, raising children by themselves and then gaining a throne and a land more secure. It had been three years of ruling in Glorall. Caligula couldn't help but wonder what her Mother was doing in all that time? Did she forget about her oldest children? Did she hate them? Cast them off? Did she know about her grandchildren? This particular winter seemed ideal to find out. Cersei and Maradona would be adults in the spring. Praetor, Vesper and Judas would be three and nearly adults. All of them would be capable of defending themselves in case the elder would mark them as unclean.
Even as they approached Iromar, the fog that normally covered the treacherous terrain was surprisingly small. The winds shifted and Caligula paused to inhale the tidings that it may bring. There was one scent that prevailed through that of the Demons. Ruvindra. Caligula nudged Maradona behind her, and moved forward silently, her head lowered and ready for a fight if need be. Ruvindra had taught her oldest daughter one thing: Protect those that you love. In this instance, Caligula would give her life for Maradona with no questions asked. And if need be, she would end Ruvindra's existence. Maradona did not understand her mother's sudden wariness. She cocked her head at her and wrinkled her brow in confusion. What did they have to fear from Iromar? Weren't Iromar and Glorall at least on neutral terms? The dark princess of Glorall did not argue with her mother and followed her quietly with her ears twitching to and fro in an effort to decipher where her mother's nervousness came from.
Caligula's mismatched eyes finally found the form belonging to the scent. She saw her mother perched on the rock near the border, seemingly peaceful. Caligula stopped well before the border that bore Andras' mark and Maradona nearly ran into her mother's haunches with the suddenness of the movement. Maradona's navy blue eyes watched her mother for a moment before looking towards the white wolfess. There was something familar about her but nothing that Maradona could be properly place. Without a voice, Caligula had never spoken about any relatives and Tesseract certainly had not spoken about a grandmother. She keeps the silence that Caligula holds for a moment before whispering to her mother. "What are we doing? Who is she?" Were they going to steal this wolf from Iromar? What exactly was her mother planning?
The Baroness of Glorall raised her head, knowing that the silence broken would bring Ruvindra's eyes upon her. She wanted to show her mother how strong she had become. How she and Tesseract had created beautiful, intelligent and perfect children. How much they had flourished without Ruvindra's blessing. How they had remained faithful to each other because their souls demanded it. Had Ruvindra ever even given them a second thought after they had left Iromar four years ago? Caligula wanted to know. Maradona altered her gaze from her mother, recognizing the dominant stance that she took up and straightened her own stance to that of a courtier. Strong and yet, not aggressive.
