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.
Let's get PHYSICAL IP: 12.231.36.2 Posted on December 13, 2014 at 02:55:32 AM by AVERY
We'll both leave here with wounds and that's okay. It's nice to know I have a friend who can take bites from my jaws and still call me a friend. Not many wolves can ask for that. I respect Aithne's determination and I know she does this duty not just because Andras asked but because it's for me. She's doing this to help me out and I appreciate it. She wants me to have this rank and that means more to me than she'll ever know. I live off of the potential others see in me. I live off of the push Andras gave me when I was younger and now I live off of what I see in Aithne's eyes every time she looks at me. I know she sees the wolf I can be, the fighter, the warrior, the Stygian I can be. And I want to be everything she sees and more. I know I don't have the advantage of size in this fight and that's okay. I have experience and I have gut instinct. I'll rely on that if nothing else. I don't expect this to be easy and I wouldn't respect Aithne like I do if I knew she'd give me any leeway. She will make this a challenge and I look forward to that.
I run at her from the front and she moves at the last minute. I snap at the air where her neck should have been as she shifts, my shoulder finding it's mark in her chest as I push her backwards. I can hear her nails scraping in the dirt as she gets pushed back but she moves again and I feel myself being pushed to the side now. She keeps pressing too, not giving an inch and I feel my legs buckling under her weight as she pushes against me. She dives down for my front leg and since I don't have the foot hold to move away yet, I clench my jaw and feel her jaws wrap around my upper leg. In retaliation, I stretch my neck so that I can reach under her rib cage. my jaws angling to the side so I can snap at her tender underside. I'm not aiming to gut her, just pinch the sensitive skin there enough to get her attention. I dig in with my fore legs, knowing that she's trying to lift me so that she can get to my face and chest. I refuse to allow that, wanting to keep my paws firmly planted until I say otherwise.
I'm hoping that pinching her under her ribs will make her shift aside but if that doesn't work, I go for plan B. I drop to my stomach the moment she releases my leg, darting forward right between her front legs to get my head under her chest. From there, I nip upwards at her stomach and then move out from under her side, biting at her back leg as I keep up the momentum. I know that to keep my body moving is my strength. She's bigger than me so the pushing war is a loss for me. I can't out-push her, but I can out manuever her if I think fast. That's why I trust my instinct. I circle around behind her once I'm out from under her, pacing again and waiting for the next move.
If she does move aside from the first pinch to her underside, I'll use the space to dart forward and bite sideways at her lower back leg below the hock even as I keep moving. I aim to bite and scrape my teeth along her leg but little else in the way of damage. Then I'll circle around her backside as I would have done anyway.
