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.

I have a feeling Aithne doesn't sit around creating a lesson plan for these kinds of tasks. She probably plays it all by ear and uses a different plan for each individual wolf. Everyone reacts to something different and I look forward to where she goes from here. I know that she will try to make sure I'm ready for one of the positions I told her and I'm okay with sitting back for a minute and letting her decide which way we go. I'm pretty open minded, as long as I'm helping the pack. I know that I can survive on my own but that's not how I want to live forever. I'm a pack animal and I want to help my pack thrive. I want our pack to be remembered for something. I want to be remembered for something.
Aithne listens and I don't see any quick judgement on her features. She seems to really take in what I say and contemplate it fully before she replies. When I bring up not having someone I care about, I see the smile and I think it's because she understands. She must not have a lot of wolves she can honestly say is beloved either. She thinks over my answer a little more before nodding and saying she didn't think of it that way. I take it as a compliment that I gave her a new perspective on the situation. I smile and nod. I won't get a big ego or anything. I just like to know that someone can see my potential.
She seems to like my second answer too, letting me know that not many think that way. I scowl. I hope Andras doesn't think that way. I just hope he doesn't see my strength and nothing else. I don't want anyone to have that one sided opinion of me. As Aithne stands and comes toward me, I flick my ears in curiosity but stand my ground. When she stops a few inches from me, I prick my ears attentively, listening to her instructions. I don't want to hurt her but if she wants to be shown, I can do that. I think back through my training with the one eyed wolf.
"Hm."
I walk back toward her haunches.
"I wouldn't go head on cause that's suicide. You outweight me so you can use brute force and take me down so I'd try to turn you so I can get to your back leg. You are tall with long legs. They're not as sturdy as a shorter wolf cause there's less muscle protecting them so I would target them as a weak point. I would grab low and pull, probably circling you with the leg so I can further throw you off balance while keeping you unsteady enough so you can't retaliate. Then I'd put my weight into it and pull backwards to finish the job and pull you off your front feet entirely. I'd straddle you quick and hold your head down with my paw and then bring my jaws to your throat. From what I've seen, I believe you deserve a quick death."
I pause for a moment, knowing she wants to be shown. I meet her gaze.
"By the way, I didn't take down that elk alone. Andras took the first bite and if he hadn't used his weight to unsteady it, I wouldn't have been able to take it down."
Now that confession's out, I make my move. While I'm not usually a trickster, I just told her my plan and either way, you're setting yourself up for failure when someone tells you to attack cause they're already ready and surprise is a big element. Aithne is a thinker so I just gave her something to contemplate, at least for a minute, giving me time to dive for her back leg. I hope to grab it low like I had said and then pull it out away from her body, wanting her other back leg off the ground so I can spin her and unsteady her fore legs and and do just as I said, jerking back to pull her to the ground and hold her head down before dropping my jaws to her throat. I wouldn't put any pressure, just touch my fangs to her throat before stepping back and withdrawing to allow her to stand.
If I miss her leg, I'll circle around her hindquarters and dive under her stomach. This wouldn't be my first option but I know to stay away from her front end so I'll take what I can get. I'll dive under and go for her front leg from under her, moving quickly cause I know being under a bigger wolf is not where you want to be. Another reason why surprise is key. I'll grab low on her front leg and then try to pull it out from under her, pulling it under her stomach to the opposite side to unsteady her and then push my hindquarters into hers to finish the job. Once she's down, I'd do the same as before, finishing with my jaws around her throat. I'll keep looking for angles no matter what. I'm persistant if nothing else.
