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.

I am cold. That is the first thought that wakes me up as I roll over, all spindly legs and knobby knees and smack dab into my brother. He must have moved away from me when Aithne left because I was a sound sleeper. I didn't move in my sleep. At least, I don't think I did. It makes me wonder if that is even possible and I resolve to ask father about it when he returns. Likely I won't even remember the question because I didn't understand everything yet anyways. I lean over Lazarus and press my milk teeth into the thin piece of his ear in an effort to make him get up. "Up Laz, up," I say in my most definitive voice, rising myself and stumbling to the side in sleepiness. I shiver then, glancing around to see it is just us for now, and hear a rhythmic noise coming from the vast edge of the den where I see father and mother coming and going sometimes. They are so big that it is a wonder to me when I see them leave and enter, expecting the edges of the den to squeeze around them and clasp them forever in the embrace of dirt.
No one is there and I am curious. I have never had a moment where I felt unease. I didn't even know what that was. All I knew was hunger and tiredness but they were always quickly attended to. I creep closer to the mouth of the den. Creep is a strange word, however, because my paws scrap the ground and I stumble as I walk in the way that new children often do. My body will grow rapidly but I don't think I could ever be big like my parents. It just didn't see possible!
Green eyes with dark blue around the iris peer out and I climb up the small embankment until I can see something dripping down in a steady line that coils on the ground and weaves down towards me. It fascinates me, my ears pricking as I edge closer, but not too close. I stand with my neck stretched out as far back as I can as I lean down to inhale - then I start sputtering. My cough and sneezes would surely wake the dead as the water I inhaled is thrust back out violently and I bark in anger at it for tricking me. I dash towards it and slap one paw on it and am satisfied for a moment to see that it is spread but then more comes and takes it's place.
My parents were out in this, I think, and I bound to the top of the den and begin to bark and yip, trying to get attention because I was afraid they might drown in the water out there if they inhaled it!
