Summer has arrived. The world has been well at peace, and others seem to be trying to take advantage. They believe we are lazy and complacent. We are no such thing. Remain vigilante, friends and family.
Give your congratulations to Maiko. She has been promoted to Blizzard; she earned it.
We also have an activity check going. Please reply so I can make adjustments accordingly. Check will go for an entire month so we can hopefully capture everyone.
As always, if you have need of me, do not hesitate to find me.

Life might had been so much different if it were not for the meteors that had come crashing down on so many, on these lands those years ago. He knows so many stories of those days, knew that he could been something else if everything hadn't changed. Maybe he wouldn't have been left, though considering his not-mother, one could never really know. So many things had come to pass that might have been prevented, but Covet is not truly angry for the loss of most of anything in that manner. He was upset on the loss over his littermates, the fact that he might have been able to know then, grow beside them in different times. Yet that had been torn away from him, as was the possible title and all else. Then again the whole line of succession in truth was certainly not a thing he knew much about for those days, but it was still a nice thought that life could have been better, that his family might have been more whole. Of course Covet couldn't wish for it all that much, considering that perhaps if that had been the case, the younger siblings may not have been born. He doesn't know precisely what to feel about them, but he wouldn't wish them gone, and they were still family and to be protected if needed.
Covet would have wanted the younger ones to come to Diveen to live, so that he could be closer to them and a part of their lives, but he could not press them to do that. He understood that they might have felt a loyalty to their current home, though he hoped that they knew this option was still open for them if they ever felt the need or want for it. At least if he was still here, to which he wasn't completely sure he should be. In the past few days, Covet had begun to feel like maybe there was a beter way to do this. That someone else might be better suited for this job, instead of himself. Only time would tell what he might do on the matter, but for now he was holding his place and debating all the work that still had to go into it all. If he could pull himself together enough to do what would be needed in this. There was much to decide, and no matter in which way he chose, there was a rocky path ahead, because it was true that the others would still try to regain hold on Diveen. Even if he were to pass it on, if the wrong creature got it, he would be back to knock the others down again. Covet would keep to what he believed in, but the question still remained on if he could bring himself to believe in ruling.
It was rather funny that he had some of the same beliefs as his imprint, brought up not not ago to him over the entire matter. He was amused by it, and it kept him thinking. Already his focus was far beyond mothers, what had given him birth and what had raised him; though he was still interested over the fact of his younger family members. Even the older ones, as such stood before him now in the form of Risk. Covet does remember the names of the others, but perhaps not all those names had been kept over the years. Some changed them, took on other ones. Covet gets it if so, since he had abandoned his true name for years, less interested in using one at all. Covet had lived in a different way from most, but it had been his way. He doubted anyone had seen this coming, those that had really known him, because he had always been a loner, not interested in pack life. He had heard that for a very long time, his father had been the same way. The differences between them was mostly the concept of family, and how Covet hadn't been allowed to be included in the llives of his children. He still wanted to be, but the story of Risk told him that want did not mean much in the end. It was a choice, and often the choice wasn't in favor.
Covet gives Risk a nod of his head at the words of maybe seeking the younger siblings out. He wonders if they would like that, but family should stick together in one way or another, he thinks. Even if it was from afar in a fond manner. "I could always ask if they would like to visit here to meet you, if you would like." He offers this, though he cannot be sure that they would all come. He could be hopeful and he was on the idea, but there were no real alliances here of Diveen and the other places. Only one leader had shown up to discuss such things, and it had only been to secure a peace treaty for now. Covet wonders if he would let it stand when it was time to strengthen it or crush it altogether; he feels that in the end it will be a personal thing, no matter his stance in pack or self. A creature should not be so quick to chose one way or another, but to play on the edge of both sides... commit to something, at least. Covet had committed to change here, but that might not be perfectly true on ruling while the change occurred. It was the only thing that had come to pass that he had wanted; the start of a hopeful change and nothing more. This had not been what he had expected of it. It seemed, perhaps, to have become worse on a personal level.
He doesn't let such a thing show, doesn't say anything of his disappointments. He kept those to himself now. And when Risk speaks of old kings, Covet says nothing of it. He would let his brother think as he wished; his opinion does not need to be there. Soon enough Risk would know exactly what Covet felt about one of those spoken of, and he doubted it would go over well. Either way, it mattered less to Covet than at least getting to know this brother a little more. The stories indicated that once he spoke of his opinion, Risk would shun him. Those opinions meant more to Risk than blood, and Covet would not forget that so soon. He gives only a small smile to what had been said, and lets it go from there. Risk was next asking of what Tobias called himself, or perhaps what Jaidah had, but Covet gives no respect to such a title either. He won't use it, because it's not really true to him. "I'm sure Tobias is around to exasperate someone, but I do not believe he has the capacity to be a brother." He responded evenly. There was blood there, yes, but Covet had wondered if there was much else to the male than that. Certainly no binding to family in the way that Covet felt, and thus not a concern to him.
Jaidah had taken to another heir to give all her stories and information to, to tell the tales of history, but this was all beyond Covet, and he simply did not care about those things now. Covet had no interest in feeding off off what Jaidah had been; he was of himself and not claiming anything she had been. Most wouldn't have known who he was or where he had come from, but family could know, since that was how they had a link at all. He does not need to claim any link to a side that had never been there, who had never tried to rectify the wrongs done. For now, Covet is comfortable with the siblings he did have, and Risk could be included in that. Ears flicked at the words of him asking after Devil, and he nodded once. It would not be a problem for him to do that. However with Risk asking to stay the night, Covet gives another smile. "Of course. Stay for longer if you wish. There is plenty of space." He stated lightly, thinking that it would be nice to have his brother around for a little longer.
