Bright Moon - a land sullied by mystery and the ravaging scars of a terrible fire. Abandoned as a pack land for years, the terra has been used as a gathering place for the brazen and bloodthirsty drawn there by the lingering pall of death. Yet from the ashes there comes an unordained phoenix, the rainbow hues of hope glinting in her mismatched globes. Through the obsidian drapes obscuring the scenery, she alone was able to catch the perfumed aroma of new life on the breeze and hear the sluggish streams flowing ever swifter into the morning.
Thus, with a purpose, she set out to map the incognita, discovering daily the extent of the reawakening and unearthing within herself a desire to return the landscape to its former glory. Now she stands tall as privileged Alpha of the lands, lording over the rock-strewn prairie and bountiful forests with a firm but gentle paw.
Having finally realized her deepest longing to be a queen, Satowra is focused solely on the revival and maintenance of the Bright Moon Pack. Her question to each prospective warrior that comes to the border is simple:
"Do you have what it takes?"

_________________________________________________________________________ The brute’s initial reaction to scenting the femme in his pack again was with anger. Why did she think she had some right to come back into his territory without his permission? When he had first met her there was no hostility in him, there rarely was hostility in Summer. The brujo always thought the best in others and assumed that the vargs he encountered had good intentions. He did not trust others right away, but he hoped that he would grow to know others to trust them as he trusted those in his pack. When he first scented the kalak at his borders he was hopeful, thinking maybe it was another lupine that had come to Bright Moon to find a home. But he had quickly learned that these were not the femme’s intentions. She had brought news to the alpha that he never thought he would here again. But she did not deliver the news of his living sister with the respect that one would expect. She had taunted him and flirted with him and messed with him. Summer was usually so calm and in control of what was going on, but the femme got into his head and made him flustered. When Shae had finally left the borders the alpha did not know if he should believe the news that she had given him. Could his little sister, Lady, really be alive? And pregnant? He still remembered her as the pup she was when he had left their home. Far too young for it to be possible for her to conceive, but that was long ago, and she would be almost full grown now. Anger rippled through him as he thought of someone hurting and violating her the way that the kalak had described to him. Why did another lupine think they had the right to do something like that to another being? When he finally decided to believe her story and investigate it himself he was too late. He arrived to Moondown Shadows when she was already gone, her pups born and his sister dead. The other alpha had already taken care of the monster that had done this to his sister, and so there was nothing left for him to do. Summer had not been around pups in a long time, and instead of offering to look after his nieces and nephews, he fled the scene, turning his back on his family like a coward. Summer thought about that moment every day of life, regretting what he did, wishing that he had acted differently, and that he had the nerves to go back to Striker and ask to look after his family. But there was still something that held him back, what it was he did not know. And know, the female that had brought him so much suffering, had the nerve to come back into his home without his permission. The smoky brute ran towards the scent of the kalak, anger already apparent on his features. But the brujo was surprised to find, not Shae, but a young pup in his pack. When he inhaled he could still smell her, she must have been here, but he could tell that she had left. Why would she drop off a pup in his lands? Summer crouched down and spoke softly to the young femme, not wanting to scare her any more than he already may have with his initial reaction. The dark pelted femme was shivering in what he could only assume was fright. Being left alone in an unknown land would do that to any varg, especially one as young as her. "Because you are to be my daddy. The nice lady said so. But she also said you’re my uncle, so I don't know how you can be my daddy if you are already my uncle. So which are you?" The femme’s yellow orbs met his matching ones, and her words shocked him. He sat back a bit, shock clearly outlined on his features at her words. He knew that his sister’s young had to still be out there, and Shae had promised him that he would see them again, but he did not expect it to be so soon. Was she old enough to be away from her siblings? And where were the other two pups, why did Shae not bring them all to him if they were old enough to leave Moondown Shadows? The brute forced his attention back to the uniquely marked ess. ”Well I suppose in a way I will be both. I am your uncle, therefore I cannot actually be your father, but I will treat you as my own, we are family. I’ll raise you here in Bright Moon just as I would my own pups, but calling me father may make things more confusing.” He finished his words with a slight chuckle. The brute looked her over, remembering how small she had been when she was born with her other two siblings. He still did not know her name even though he had now told her he would be the one to raise her. ”So what is it that you have been called in Moondown Shadows? Did you like your time there? You do not need to be afraid here, I will keep you just as safe as you were there, I promise.” Summer leaned down again to be at her level to talk, smiling warmly at his beautiful niece. ________________________________________________________________________ |
