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.
YOU'RE A CHERRY BLOSSOM IP: 108.245.133.46 Posted on December 16, 2014 at 00:01:01 AM by AITHNE
Despite the pack of Iromar consisting of the moors it was perhaps one of the best places for wolves who preferred solitude. Many of the wolves here lived by their own code. Their elixir of life was solitude and the marshes offered plenty of hidden coves and dens in which to get lost in. Even after all this time there were places Aithne had not ventured for the scent of others was strong and who was she to flush them out? Archduke she might be but they were familiar scents, those of Andras's disciples, and so she had let them be. She wasn't an overly curious creature sometimes, preferring to stick to things a bit more important such as meal times, bed time, and patrolling the border. Occasionally leaving Iromar to see the brighter, warmer side of Molodian and find wolves like Kneph who did not seem to have a calling as of yet.
Kneph does not fall behind her - he is a hardy fellow and she can respect that. Survival instincts should be strong in a loner and Iromar was a pack that was sorely lacking in those who might wish to prove themselves. Maybe in time the idea of such could tempt the strange Phantom male to stay with them yet Aithne reserved judgement. After all she did not know anything about him really other than he could not talk. The time he spent here would afford her the opportunity to observe him and decide if there was anything truly wrong with Kneph and to maybe figure out his goals in life, if he had any.
As she turns her gaze upon him Aithne waits in that patient way of hers to see how he will react to such an offering. She wonders - before she was here did any other wolf do as she did? Andras was not the type to show such friendly kindness, even to those who came to his borders. He had practically pissed on her paws that first day yet she had stood there with that gleam in her eye that dared him to test her. In the end they had both earned a healthy respect for each other without a tooth or claw mark, yet Andras went about his own business and she had taken to fending for herself - as had always been the way of her life. Yet she thinks that the simple things such as this, the silent offer of protection against those who might rebel against his presence here, and the way she did not leave him to wander the marshlands and lose himself in the pits of shadow that resided here.
Phantom was, in all respects, the perfect gentleman. It was just as well he didn't have the power of speech, she did not much care for males with silver tongues and the very idea of the mating season could have her hackles raised in an instant. In time she might change but the memories of her past are buried like burrs into her mind and there is little atonement that can be done for them.
There it was, quick and gone. He was happy with the circumstances, or if not happy then at least content, and she smiles then. The day was growing later with each passing second and it was time for her to flush out some dinner and then curl in her den. "On the morrow, then," she says huskily before turning and trotting away while he crawls into the den to spend his first night in Iromar.
The morning dawned bright, burning away the chill of twilight until the vapors rose and became clear before dissipating beneath the sun's glare. As chill as the marshes would become in the winter time today was one of those rare days in which the lizards would come above to soak up what little bit was left of warmth that they could. Today would be the perfect day to take down an alligator and a good day to learn of their newcomer. So Aithne unwinds herself from her den, stretching her large body and shaking out her thick fur. Other wolves would likely take advantage of it too for soon months would pass with nothing but cold and gray to while away the days with.
She moves through the swamps once more, her ears swiveling to catch the sounds of tails slapping against water and the growling hisses of the gators as they fought over the driest patch of earth and the warmest rock to rest their bellies. It would be a smorgasbord today and her tongue sluiced across her lips in anticipation. Before long she has hopped over the fallen log near Kneph's temporary home and her paws thud against the ground as she pauses near his den with a low growl to warn him of her arrival. "It is time to hunt if you are ready, Phantom," she speaks, eying the den to see if he is here and if he will come out.
