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.

The truth was that this place felt so strongly of home that I couldn't stay away. I was born and raised here, although in retrospect I spent much less time here than away in my quest to learn what it meant to be Empress. My mother had told me I was too willful and unrefined as a pup, that she could not teach me her survival instinct because Molodian was too fair in climate so that I must learn other things to compensate. It wasn't an insult just the truth - I knew that now. Then I had been rather upset by it but I enjoyed the learning even if I was at times pouty. My safety had never been called into question until the world blew out from under my feet. I suppose it was a survival instinct after all that saved me. Or my mother had cultivated enough loyalty to ensure I would survive. Halcyon and Elohim had carried me away and Undyne had fortified herself to protect my brother while Pine mounted her own offense.
In the end I hadn't been much of a rallying cry and besides, these beautiful memories had been hidden under a cloud of sadness for a long time. As I tossed Pine down with her fake growls I felt as if a piece of me snapped back into place. Things were alright. I had learned and survived and I would make her proud of me. My papa would be too, for I would honor their memories as much as I could.
Pine pushes me off her and I grin brazenly at her, chortling. "But what point is it if I get it myself! I am an Empress after all." I make a thoughtful look before grinning. "Of sorts." I flash her a haughty look at her words but it is all in fun. "I'll show you soft," I mock growl in threat before chuckling with my tail whipping back and forth. It was so right with Pins, our friendship solidified from the moment we romped as pups beneath the keen eye of my mother. Pine motions me forward and I eagerly pad beside her, pausing to catch new and old scents alike even as I sighed a few times. The Moors were the same just emptier than I remembered but I think that is because I expected to see my parents here. Their memory was tied to this place.
She walks like a Queen now with purpose in her small stride and a regalness to her manners even if she is still the bouncy Pine I've always known. "They are peaceful," I say honestly. "It is different there. I miss it here too, though," I admit. "But I'm not in the shadow there." Pine would perhaps understand what I meant as I thoughtfully talk. "Halcyon has been a great King - I always see him running around doing things and talking to others. I do too, sometimes, but I've been trying to keep busy. I stole a wolf." I grin mischievously then. "He wasn't grateful but I remember Mom telling me neither was Hal when she first brought him here. Maybe I can carry on her tradition ya know?" I pause for a minute as I narrow my eyes on her. "His imprint lives there too and I haven't met her but.... it makes me nervous." There is jealousy in my voice that I leave unmasked because Pine is my best friend. She could help me deal with it right. "What's it like being with your imprint?" I am curious because I had seen my parents and now Pine had that but I had chosen Halcyon. I wondered if he was torn because of the decision now that Solstice was around. Replies:
