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 May 15, 2015 at 10:51:54 PM by AVERY
I wander aimlessly through the swamp, carrying the carcass of an alligator between my jaws. It was no giant by any means but it wasn't a morsel either. I had chosen one of the ones closer to a foot, just so I'd have enough to at least call a lunch for today. The hard part was getting it away from it's mother, since apparently they like to be lazy and ride on their mother's back for most of the day. But I had chosen a time when she was subathing and seemingly dreaming on the banks of the swamp and the babies were swimming about in the shallows, biting at minnows and just being children. I managed to lure one away by dabbing my paw in the water on the other side, making ripples that made it think there was a good sized fish over in the tall grass. But no, it was just me and the moment I saw it's snout come to the surface, I was on it, remembering everything I was taught as a pup about the soft spot between the eyes. I mashed down with all my strength and didn't stop shaking until I felt its body go limp.
Then I just had to get away from the mother, who had decided to awaken and call for her babies at that exact moment. She must have heard all the thrashing in the water because her beady eyes were stuck on me the moment I erupted from the other side of the tall grass with the gator hanging limp from my jaws. I could hear her bellow of anger and then I heard the large splash of her going into the water. I knew if I could out-distance her, I wouldn't have to fight her because she stands a good ten feet long and that's just too much gator for one wolf to take out alone. I ran like my legs were on fire, my jaws latched onto the corpse because I wasn't about to lose the prize I worked so hard to catch. I could hear the thrashing of her tail every time she came toward the surface to check on my location. I waited until she went under and then I changed direction, suddenly darting toward the center of the pack lands and away from the swamp water. I could hear another bellow when she came up next but I had a good head start and by the time she was up on land, I was well away from her. But she didn't give up that easily. She raced after me so I darted through the woods, using obstacles like fallen trees and such to slow her down and when I found a mud pit, I leaped over it and waited for her to catch up.
Just like clock work, she followed my paw prints right into the mud and it sucked down on her short legs in seconds, pulling her down to her sides. She lifted her head, bellowing again and crying out for her babies but the look in her eyes said she knew it was lost. Every time she struggled, the mud would only pull her in more until you couldn't even see her wide mouth anymore, just her beady eyes peering up at me, glaring at me as she suffocated. A part of me knew I should feel bad to see a mother taken so unwillingly from her brood but the predator part of me could only think about the five other gators all waiting for their mother back at the water and how good they would taste. I watched the last of her disappear under the mud and then I sat on the banks, catching my breath and finally setting the corpse down at my paws, staring into the mud as if she might come thrusting up to the surface at any moment.
