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.

Somewhere within the back of my mind I am given to hear Calliel cry out once more, seeking it would seem that I ‘do not go’ and perhaps for a moment I was half given to turn. It has been a long time, truly, since I was needed, since any of my children had cried out for me in the night and I had been given to wrap myself around them and chase away whatever darkness lingered in their minds, be it real or imagined. That someone, it would seem, is still given to need me is a pleasing thing, if only for the moments in which it lasts before Stella spins back towards myself, her towering frame so much larger and stronger than my own and yet really- the bigger they are, the harder they fall and Stella is a rather terribly large, unattractive thing, shame really, had Kiska actually been faithful to her mate Stella may well have had a chance to be….something, rather then the nothing she has always been and always will be, despite Devils efforts with her. Wasted evidently- just as mine were wasted on Azrael. At least, for what its worth, I could still claim him to be my own pure blood. Stella’s snarl is met with a ready scoff of sorts, violet eyes rolling slightly as she simply challenges, yet offers no follow through, content to growl at me evidently. Hmm, how very amusing.
“Is that it Stella? You always were all talk, nothing but air, your sire was much the same. The apple does not fall far from the rather useless tree evidently.”
Alright, so I never did like the girl and I see no reason not to choose now to display such a thing as I simply lunge past her, offering Eden the same treatment, snapping towards him, catching little more then fur though I hardly intended anything else. He is right, in his own thoughts, in this moment I am little more then show myself. He is my son, my child and it seems I never will be able to lay fangs against him, not truly, the violet of my gaze simply meeting his own with authority before my attention is forced upon Devil, my teeth clashing with his own, form twisting to grapple against the earth, to brace myself against his larger size, head twisting to force my teeth through his upper lip- rewarded with a taste of blood though indeed perhaps it is not nearly the reward I desire, the command in my tone at least seeming to halt his actions. His eyes remain unfocused, distant, the words he shouts utterly illogical as I simply stare towards him. What it did not him? Yes….yes I know entirely, I am one of the few to know exactly what SHE did to him and yet she is not Calliel. His mind, perhaps….has grown older then even I believed and indeed for some moments my features are given to shift entirely once more. I have never looked upon Devil with pity, for indeed…..there has never been the need. For so many, many years I have walked beside him, for so many years we have shared our lives and I suppose, perhaps, some part of myself always belived I would be the first to go, that if either of us was to lose this race it would be myself, not the towering black male whom had so long been undefeated. His mind- it would seem, no longer holds.
“Devil, you are not looking. When ever have I lied to you?”
The words are little more then a whisper upon my tongue as he continues to shout and the appearance of another…..of what appears to be Kiska sees my own violet gaze widen in mild surprise as she seeks to comfort him, seeks to draw form him as it would appear I cannot. I never did like Kiska, and if she thinks she can weasel herself back into his good graces through helping him now then she has another thing coming. My own jaws parted, words upon them once more, thankful to some extent the black and gold girl had come, settling Devil faster then my own words could have done. Yet whatever I may have said is cut short, the arrival of Isola, my own daughter, seeing my head turn once more as she rushes to Calliel as she is attended to by Meryl, Amir drifting uncertainly to the side. It is a difficult thing to say indeed what it was I felt in that moment, for never have I seen my daughter so assured, never has she looked so much the Alpha as she does in the moments, a version of myself, perhaps- when I was so very much younger then my tired for now and really I suppose, I took some pride in that- before she barked her orders, features turning to a scowl. This is not the first time Devil has attacked, although really his attack on Ruvindra was deserved and I wish he’d killed the silly creature, his attack against Vidar I will admit was uncalled for, as was his assault of Calliel and indeed even I am content to punish him for that, for moving to act against his blood and my own in such a way- yet to remove him from the pack entirely….I am not so very…agreeable.
Had it been my own call I know well I would have done the same, that I would have killed him where he stood….had it been any other wolf and yet. This is not any wolf, this is not merely another trespasser and how I hate emotion, how I loath that which coil within my now in defence of my oldest friend. He is aged, not given to think, touched by grief and yet it would seem her decision is final, words upon my lips once more before she seems to turn her anger against myself. She is right to do it, she is Alpha here and yet….to have my own daughter speak in such a manner to me seems to…let’s say….irk me a little. My own tail lifted in those moments, heckles risen as lips pulled back from my fangs once more, moving to face her directly now, challenging her directly as I have never done before, as no wolf has ever done within the borders of her own land. I will tolerate her, obey her, respect her. When I damn well feel like it. I gave her that crown and really…she would do well to remember it.
“Perhaps I will. I have bowed to one wolf within the entire existence of my life, Isola- and it was not you.”
The words were snapped with more harshness then I desire, truly, Eden offered little more then a snort, tail smacking against him with disrespect as I simply turn to lope off after Devil and Kiska. We will continue this little family disagreement later and indeed, later, I may even feel a little…bad about talking to her in a manner so demeaning. As it is I am content to follow after the only wolf I have ever bowed to, so many years ago, in the undergrowth of Paracon upon my first day in these lands. Perhaps Isola is Alpha- but until the day I die she will be beneath me, no matter what she thinks. I do look forward to discussing this later on- it will go down ever so well. Yes- that is sarcasm.
Family is everything- but to my mind, Devil is family. I was given to pause only a single time, movement halted as I turned back to Calliel, speaking once before before I moved to lope away.
“I will see you later, Baby Girl, we will talk about your training then.”
I’ve already annoyed Isola- why not annoy her a little more? I feel I have already lost the Father of the year award, might as well continue the downward spiral eh? I will regret it later I am sure, for I am closer to Isola then many others, yet for now I find myself feeling…disagreeable.
