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 April 23, 2015 at 09:19:44 PM by AVERY
I guess Aithne is the more level headed one out of the two of us. I'm actually usually very down to earth myself. It's only when it comes to matters of my deserter family that I seem to lose my temper. It's no secret that I hate my mother for what she did. I don't even know my father enough to hate him but Chernobyl...that hatred is a burning flame of passion inside me. It has been since I was little and it's only grown bigger with age.
He's silent when I talk to him about my mother. He seems so accepting of what she did to him, as if ther'e nothin wrong with it and that's what I can't accept. I know what a mother's supposed to be like, even though I never had one of my own and I don't have any children. I don't exactly have plans for a family, especially since there's no prince charming in my life. Apparently something I said manages to push past his stoic expression. I note it the minute there's a change and I keep that in mind for later. So there is something that makes him snap. Good to know. He chuckles before speaking. I listen attentively, noting also that the minute he gets it off his mind, the change that came over him seems to be gone.
I tilt my head before I begin.
"You're right, I did have a father figure. But that's because I didn't hide in a hole when my parents left me. I stayed active in the pack, tried to make a go of it by myself. I got myself noticed. You're right, you can't replace another wolf, but you have to understand. That's what it felt like when she found me at the crags, only to show me her distended belly and disappear again. It was like a knife to the gut. And from what you've told me, sounds like they sucked at the second chance too."
He seems amused by the way I react to him licking me but then he speaks again so I prick my ears, giving him my attention once more. These words give me more to think about. I know he's right about grudges but how can I just forget about it. Forgive them? Out of the question. Maybe he can think of it as a compliment but I can't find myself accepting that a parent can leave their kids to fend for themselves and pretend like it's okay. My jaw tightens and I grit my teeth.
"To each their own."
It comes out in a defeated breath. I don't want to argue about it anymore. I have no reason to be angry with him and I know that now. He's in the same boat as I am so if anything, I should be trying to understand him, find out more about my extended family. He follows my lead, apologizing to Aithne. She in turn makes a joke about the whole thing and I smirk in reply, nodding in agreement. She's right. No one could have seen this coming. She then says that this conversation is private and she's going to leave us to it. I tilt my head, almost wishing she would stay but I understand not wanting to be there standing awkwardly by while two siblings catch up. It's just hard to see myself as even having a sibling. I've felt so alone for so long.
I answer back her grin with a smirk of my own as she turns to leave and I wag my tail in a farewell. Once she's gone, I turn back to Lucem and let out a long sigh.
"So, Lucem....where is the rest of your litter? Did they disappear too? I had two brothers, Adalmund and Aelfgar. Adalmund was pretty quiet, a loner. He liked to wander off again and be by himself a lot. Aelfgar was more playful. He liked to ambush me when I wasn't looking. He was the one playing with me when...we got attacked by Tobias. That's the first and only time I ever saw Beowulf. He came in to save us and then disappeared again."
