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 SEE FIRE HOLLOWING SOULS KNEPH IP: 108.245.133.46 Posted on December 9, 2014 at 01:16:08 AM by AITHNE
It really did seem to take him a good while to figure out what he wanted. Not everyone was cut out for life in the marshlands. In the winter it did afford the wolves a slightly less chilled environment, a reason why many of the lizards seemed partial to it, yet in the summer it could be oppressive. There was always a pungent stench of rot and decay that, over time, one simply got used to. In winter the scent was much more fresh as the north winds carried the pristine of mountain air down into the bogs though even in the dense center it could not penetrate the mists; Iromar, as always, would be shrouded in mystery. Some did not like the dangers taht lurked in the marshes - the alligators with their ancient teeth and dinosaur eyes or the spots where the mud seemed to grab and suck down victims with an eldritch intelligence. For Aithne it was home though, as violent or peaceful as needed.
In truth it is a good thing that she does not know what Kneph is thinking as he stands there in a ponderous silence. Ghosts and demons - to her they do not exist. One must realize that Aithne is a creature of prosaic ways, mostly everything she does and says is precise and to the point. Why dance around words or make riddles when one could speak plainly and cut to the core of things? She has learned over time to throw in a bit of fact in a way such as she does with him so that she does not seem too straightforward and it also helps in her persuasiveness. If he chose to remain wandering the lands between the packs she would honor his choice with a swift farewell and take off to the moors. Dinner time was calling and if there was one thing Aithne had a passion for it was for feeding her belly.
When finally Phantom lifts himself up in a more firm position and dips his head she smiles at him, her tail wafting to the side just once, and she feels a pride in her chest. Whether he stayed or not she had least had brought him back to the swamps. She, at least, had been one to step outside of the borders and earn her title as Archduke. She dips her head to acknowledge his own reply knowing full well Kneph may not decide to stay for long.
"Come then," she says promptly and turns to head back into the swampy area and casts her angle towards Iromar, trotting at a rather fast clip. Aithne does not attempt to outpace him nor does she slow in an accommodating manner. It is not long before they reach the border and the sun has sunk low enough that long shadows now seem to block everything. Before too long the bogs would become an eerie place of shifting fog and ethereal figures, though for Kneph that would be nothing different. She leads him across the pungent border marked by Andras's scent and into the heart of Iromar towards a place where she has uncovered an abandoned den.
"Andras is the King here," she speaks suddenly after such a stretch of silence, glancing back at the male. "None should bother you while you are here. I expect you can take care of yourself anyways, Phantom. Here is a den that has not been used in a very long time. You may use it for however long you wish. Perhaps tomorrow if you grow bored I can show you how it is to hunt an alligator?" She overs, a somewhat gracious host, though there is a feral gleam in her eye that comes with the edge of hunger. The den she leads him is almost like a hobbit hill; a mound of dirt that lunges straight into the air with a hole that leads directly into the concave structure. It would do in a pinch and she looks at him once more to gauge his reaction now that he is finally here.
