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 18, 2014 at 02:51:04 AM by AVERY
I know that I'm not big or beefy, not a force to be reckoned with but I'll be damned if I let that stop me from getting my prize. I'm agile and quick and my jaws work just as good as anyone else's. What I don't have in strength, I make up for in cunning. I like to use my head as well as my body. Aithne could shove me into the ground if she wanted to, using the force of her weight to overpower me. That's why I know when to get out of a bad position and fast. Luckily speed is on my side. As Aithne's jaws bite down on my leg, I use the spark of pain to put into the force of my jaws, snapping at her underside, hoping to pinch the tender flesh there. I manage to get it and I hear Aithne's rumble though it doesn't sound altogether angry, more an acknowledgement that she has felt it.
I don't know how Aithne will react. She could do something completely opposite of what I'm hoping but my plans will just adapt accordingly. I never stick to just one plan in my head. There are always other options floating around because when adrenaline is high and the smell of blood is in the air, wolves get unpredictable. That's why I rely heavily on instinct, knowing that even if my mind isn't fast enough, my sense of survival will know how to get me through. She shifts aside and I take the room she opens up, snapping toward her neck but she pulls it out of reach. I keep going, not hesitating to go for her hind leg this time. Aithne swings her leg up and kicks out, her paw managing to punch my muzzle to which I let out a quick bark of surprise more than pain. Sure, it's enough to make me twitch my nose and sneeze at the sudden assault to my nasal passages but the hit wasn't hard enough to do more than bruise.
In the meantime, my snapping jaws manage to catch her toes so for an instant I bite down on tender flesh, perhaps piercing the webbing between them before I release and let her have her foot back. I don't want to cripple her, after all. As she swings away, I stay with her, not wanting to give her time to recover and plan. Her snapping jaws come for my tail but I'm already dancing toward her shoulder with my own parted jaws, tucking my tail and hips out of her reach. I snap at the meaty part of her shoulder to draw blood and nothing more if they meet true. Aithne is quick as well though and she keeps chasing me, spinning to push her weight into my hips. I let out a grunt as she collides into me, making me stumble as my back end swings around. For a moment there's the risk that my back legs will fall out from under me and take me down but I grit my teeth and dig my claws into the dirt, stumbling and righting myself as I swing back to face her. I won't give her my back any more than I have to.
I felt her teeth connect a couple times on my hip but they're superficial, bee stings and nothing more. The throbbing in my hip is more important but I push it away for now, letting the adrenaline push me forward as I dive low and then swing my head up toward the bottom of her jaw, parting my mouth at an angle to grab at her lower jaw. I'll then have control of her head and I aim to crank her neck to the side while pushing her head up so that it's harder for her to jerk it away, putting her in a holding pattern of sorts. Sure, I'm having fun in this spar but I'm supposed to win in a way, correct? I figure if I can't get her down on the ground then a check will have to do. Without her jaws, the most she'll be able to do is push at me or claw at me and I'm not too concerned about either since pushing forward will only crank her head back worse and she'll break her own neck that way. Tor knows neither of us want that and if she pushses the issue, I'd have to release her jaw just to keep her from harming herself but I've always got a back up plan just in case.
