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 WILL REMEMBER ME IP: 108.245.133.46 Posted on January 4, 2015 at 04:52:24 AM by AITHNE
She knew that Andras's son would eventually seek her out. For a little while after Andras had stunned her by revealing his desire to hand over Iromar to her she had wondered what the boy would feel in regards to her new status. Certainly not pleased - after all, his father had passed over him and handed it to her. Aithne who was not of demon blood nor had any birthright to this place. Just one of it's most dedicated wolves since her arrival. Becoming an Empress or Queen had never been on her agenda in life. In the beginning this place had been a refuge from the fury that had stoked her insides, a constant reminder of her past and what had driven her to finally leave it all behind. She did not regret it one bit. Her homeland was dying. She could almost bet those she had left behind were dead or had moved on as well.
The swamps had become a playground of sorts for her. She often traipsed through the deepest thickest and across the muddiest paths, uncaring of the dirt that clung to her (though she did bath before it became too caked on or smelly), all for the sake of knowing every nook and cranny of Iromar. One could not say that Aithne was not devoted to the empire. It's growth and protection was a constant thing upon her mind, even before Andras grew sick. And that was another thing. They needed to find a healer to come see if they could not help him. Just because he had handed over the kingdom to her did not mean she would let him rot away - she was not one to fear he might wrest control back again. He had been her Lord King before and had won her loyalty. No amount of power could change that.
She sits entrenched in a shallow plateau in the midst of the marshes and watches as the birds land in the stagnant water nearby eager to find hidden gems beneath the murky surface. Spring brought a new life back to the land but even winter had not quenched it. Summer would bring heat and with it the pungent odor of rot that seemed to intensify in the warm air, but for now she took her leisure in the fresh scents of growing things. Until a howl rends the air. Russet cupped ears swivel back and she turns her thick maw in that direction idly. That call, it was for her of course, and she does not hesitate. She lifts her own and releases a deep chord to answer his own even as she stands and begins to move briskly towards Astaroth's direction. It had come from nearby - he was close.
Aithne? Ah, there he is, she thinks as her dark emerald eyes settle upon him finally. He is large, about the same height as his father but much bulkier. Her own broad frame settles before him, watching him with an impassive face although inside she is wary of him. "Astaroth. You are quick to your task. I like such promptness," she reveals to him in her normal husky voice. "I know you only as the son of Andras but I wish to learn just who you are. As you will learn, I am not your father. We have different methods I'm sure and different goals yet he gave me control. So, should I expect to be assaulted in some vain attempt to recover your stolen title of heir?" Her words are brusque and to the point - no need to beat around the bush. They would settle any differences here in this moment, Aithne thinks, so they could move forward.
