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.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A BREATH OF LIFE IP: 108.245.133.46 Posted on March 8, 2015 at 10:40:18 PM by AITHNE
How difficult things are between them because of Aithne's vast aversion to touch. Companionship is strange to her yet it is something that in her time in Molodian she has begun to come to terms with. Even appreciate at times, for her company spent with Avery was relaxing and trusting. When Praetor was away she felt such a vast sense of loneliness and the invisible thread between them thickened by the day. It was tempting to reach across the distance to find him just so that her jade eyes can settle upon his figure yet it was also confusing. These are emotions that are foreign to a female of her ilk. She has been abused before although that was no great breach of trust for she had never trusted the wolves of her own home. It was folly to trust any there. They were all survivalists that were self serving - herself included. Such a thing was hard to overcome for she was set in her ways.
Strength - she was the epitome of strength. Even when such strength led to weakness. How odd it is that what she thinks of as strength could also be construed as weakness. Yet Praetor does not press her. He does not beguile nor charm; at least not in the sense of ill meaning. His personality is flagrant and beautiful, so honest and sincere and it is hard for her to come to terms with it. Aithne has always been well kept to herself, silent and brooding. Set apart. Since the mantle of Empress had been given to her that brooding had led to thoughts of a paranoid ilk. The crown was not something that could be kept with all kindness and all gentleness; it was dripping blood. It would always drip blood and how soon before her own blood coated it?
Standing before the gaze of Praetor she feels suddenly timid. Somehow her strength is untenable when faced with his presence; everything about her is questionable. Praetor was a prince in his own right and if memory served he would likely have been a prince of Iromar if history had not changed the course of his ancestors. What does he see when he spies Aithne? A female who knew little in the way of history of such a tepid bog?
It is relief she feels when he assures her of her own standing and she smiles wanly at him, ears pricked forward and attention rapt with his words. She could drink in his voice all day, she thinks, and still be left wanting. His presence is a balm to her worried soul and maybe that is why he has come today, feeling the strain of her burden on her and he is here to shoulder some of it. "Thank you," she says sincerely. "If I had any siblings they were dead before I was born or before I realized. I do not think my mother survived where I came from." Her words are a testament to the life she lived in the way she does not even know what ever became of her mother even when they lived in the same place. It was a harsh life, one of survival, and perhaps Praetor who was raised among a strong knit family - all fighting aside - it would be alien.
"Things where I came from, you have to understand, are nothing like here. Water is always low, food is scarce, and the only season that is left is whatever was harsh enough to kill us off. It is a dead land," she states bluntly. "The others there were not like you or the wolves I have met here. Such a live breeds all civility out of a body. Yet there were some more lowly than others, those who deserved the death that was coming to them," and quite suddenly her voice is a sneer and there is a flash in her eye of hatred at the remembrance of what was done to her. "It is why I cannot bear to touch." The words are off her lips before she realizes just how open she has become, how much she has revealed, and her body becomes as still as a snake poised to strike in alarm.

Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing; bow down to the mighty
