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?"

Family. Duty. Honor.  |
_________________________________________________________________________ Although the brute had never had pups of his own, at least not yet, he knew the correct way to act around them. Thus young female was not the first pup that he had been around, and he knew that she would not be the last. Even though anger towards the female kalak that had brought his niece to him, he would not let her see that, would not act angry towards her. It was in no way her fault that Shae felt entitled enough to choose where Nzingha’s siblings would live, that blame was entirely for the other female. As much as Summer wanted to stalk off and find Shae to take his anger and frustration out on her, he would not leave his niece. The brute would have to deal with Shae later, after he got Nzingha settled into Bright Moon and comfortable in her new home. He only hoped that she would enjoy her time here and would not feel as if she had been forced to come here against her will. As Naingha spoke of Shae and what she had apparently told her to tell him, he wondered how much she really knew. How much she knew about her mother and particularly her father, if she knew that that brute had done. Summer sincerely hoped that she did not know, she was too young to know such things, even though she would have to know the truth eventually. But from the way she talked maybe Shae had already told her. It would not surprise him if she felt that she needed to tell the pups what had happened, even though that was not her decision to make. But, despite the pup’s words, her actions seemed innocent enough so maybe her young innocence was not yet corrupted. The brute was surprised when Nzingha’s small form approached him so quickly, nuzzling against his leg. Maybe she would settle in well here if she was already comfortable with him. He knew that they were truly family, but he would not blame her if she did not believe him and thought his words to be lies. Summer was just glad that she did believe him and already seemed to trust him, something that he knew was important in any pack and family, and he truly wanted her to feel like part of the family. When they began to speak of titles and what she was to call him, she shook her head at his suggestions, and he did not have to wait long to hear what she had to say instead. “I can’t call you Uncle Summer if you are technically also going to be my dad. What about a mix of ‘dad’ or ‘father’ and ‘uncle’? Like… ‘duncle’ or ‘funcle’ or ‘unther’… I like Unther. Unther Summer. It’s funny sounding but it will be like our little joke.” Summer let out a bark of a laugh at her words, something that only a pup would come up with. As silly as the word was he liked it. Like she said, having their own inside joke would help the two of them bond. ”Sounds perfect, Nzingha.” He laughed again, thinking of the silly word that she had come up with. The smoky colored brute nuzzled her in return once more before she spoke again. “And I would love a tour! If this is going to be home I want to know it!” The brute nodded his head before rising to his paws from the sitting position he had been in for their greeting. ”Exactly, let’s get going shall we?” He headed towards the tree line of his territory that he had been put in charge of. His banner wagged behind him as he looked over his shoulder to make sure his niece was following him, he didn’t want her to get lost on their first day together. ”So, do you like to go swimming?” There was a stream that ran through Bright Moon, not as deep as some of the ones in Blossom, and certainly not as deep as the lake, but it was deep enough for a quick swim if she was the type that enjoyed that. He padded through the trees, letting the younger femme pick the pace so it was not too fast for her shorter limbs. When they got to the stream he paused at the edge for a drink before speaking again. ”This is one of the land marks in Bright Moon. The stream is always running here, so it is the best place to get fresh water. It’s even deep enough that it doesn’t freeze in the winter.” The brute waited to see if she wanted to jump in to swim before speaking again about the packlands. ________________________________________________________________________ |
