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.

She had no qualms about winter time. The cold did not bother her overmuch for she had dealt with it before and then she had been much leaner than she was now, although with her stout body she might never be truly described as lean. Iromar afforded her a place of respite from the true winter's hold though. The mountains caught the majority of the downdraft from the northern regions and left Iromar in the perfect place for a semi-mild wintering. Of course summer could be considered quite atrocious in the swamps to make up for the way it eased up on the winter chill but she could handle it.
The alligators would take all the time they were afforded to soak in the sun. They were a primordial species with alien faces and eyes that had seen much. Sometimes she watched them and their lazy ways and wondered if they could remember the pasts of their ancient ancestors. After all she had heard tales of species that could do that; born with the memory of those before them. In some aspects it might make one jaded, she thinks, but in others it could make a race more interesting and more adept. What wonders roamed this earth before she had or had wolves been long on this planet?
As Kneph jerked his ruff in astonishment her eyes slid to him, her lips quirking into a smirk of pleasure. Most wolves would react this way when faced with such blatant fangs and lizard scales. True, these creatures were an ancient race of predators, but a wolf had to eat. Sometimes different had a distinct taste such as the alligators before her. He would see what she meant once they killed it; the tough meat was not altogether pleasing but the fat on the beast was tender and juicy. Just the thought of it made her stomach churn in agitation - feed me!
She almost expected him to decline the hunt. Yet Kneph merely flattens his ears and gets to work. Her esteem of him rises as she watches the blue-black beast skirt around the beasts though they do not seem bothered by him. After all if he came in range of those long snouts he was as good as dead. Aithne would not sacrifice herself to save him if it took more than a few barks and some distracting maneuvers. Surival meant being smart and those not smart enough to stay well away from the jaws of an alligator, at least the huge ones, was not fit company anyways.
After a moment she follows after him, letting him carry on with a large lead so that he can get to work before she arrives in place. The alligator waits with the patience of an expert. His lizardness is eerie, the way he does not flinch when Kneph taunts him and he forces the wolf to more extreme measures. Each movement of her dancing partner has her ears flattening and hackles bristling. Her head sweeps low to the ground, tongue alternating between lying in her mouth and scraping across her maw.
It was rather amusing though to see the wolf tap the lizard on it's nose. Brazen! She likes it, her teeth flashing in a salacious grin. Kneph was quick but he almost tripped and that snapped her out of her momentary amusement, eyes firm upon the pair until finally the moment she had been waiting for. Aithne's powerful muscles throw her forward without any forethought, driving her home. The alligator turn it's head to look upon the blue male who drives it's rage, and Aithne darts in from the opposite side, a blur of white, black, and red. Her jaws are broad and they grip the fleshy part of the lightened neck and dig in deep even as the alligator attempts to slam her head and his down to the ground, but her body cushions her and her wide paws set themselves firm as she pushes upward.
Caught in her jaws the alligator is lifted slightly so that his forelegs don't touch the ground and his claws dangle an inch or so up even as her hind claws dig into the ground and her forepaws dance on their tips. She is in the blood lust, jaws creaking tighter as blood coils down the light neck of her opponent and splashes hot against her face. With a sudden thrust to the side she manages to tip the beast over, her body following suit so that she is now above him, her claws pressing into the underside of his jaw and chest and pushing him down as she tears open the artery.
Blood spurts from it's neck even as it opens and closes it's maw in the vain attempt at life. It is safe for Kneph to sneak in and attack the belly if he wishes for the alligator slowly dies. The moment it stops moving and it's heart stops beating she releases it and lifts her maw to look at her partner with a bloody grin. "And now for the good part. Good work, Phantom." She pushes against the lizard as she steps back and licks her maw, eyes scanning the body. "The legs, belly, and neck contain much fat, the best part," she murmurs and, unable to refrain any longer, she begins to tear at the neck and rip the fatty pieces out, swallowing them whole.
