Glorall

Disaster has struck!
Flooding from the north has taken its toll on Glorall. The large tides combined with the increase in water draining from the Ruieze River has flooded the lower regions of the pack. The sandy soil, compounded with so much water, has toppled a lot of trees. Traveling is difficult even when the water is shallower, with the sandy soil below being difficult to find traction on. The daily tides seem to keep the level of flooding fairly consistent, too.

During the low tide, wolves may be able to move around the higher dunes (with some difficulty) but during high tide, the pack is almost impossible to safely navigate. Swimming is possible, but the risk of currants and surges from either the ocean or the river are very real. The island off of the coast of Glorall is untouched by either issue, although it is incredibly difficult to find your way there without being an adept swimmer with plenty of good luck!

Note: Glorall will reopen once 30 posts have been completed (or at Staff discretion). During this time, new threads will receive a 'Surprise','Disaster', and prizes. Glorall is currently not open for challenges.

It is unwise to anger an alpha of standing like Eden. I know this in my mind yet it does not sway the way my body prepares to put him down. The way that I bristle beneath his sly gaze. Some part of me understands the danger I have placed myself in as well as my pack and yet the bullish part of my mind cannot be dissuaded. For so long the alphas have let him hide behind the shadows and whatever machinations of his are secrets well kept but I seek to shine a light in the darkness and see what scuttles from it. Curiosity is my downfall, I suppose, but that is a discussion for another day.

So when I slide away into a sedate walk, feigned confidence in each paw, I am firm as he walks beside me. Ever close, ever dangerous. I can see the wrath swimming in his eyes, the way he coils with slick intent, but he lets no outward reaction show. It unnerves me the way this creature exists for I sense something within him altogether different and I do not like it. A darkness, perhaps. A shadow that clings to a skeleton. It is not wonder my mother was curious of the usurper of Glorall but she had never had the chance to flush this mole from his hideout. She never had a chance because a snake had seen fit to rip out her throat and my family had been deserted. All that was left was Vesper, my aunt, and I wonder if she will be affected by this meeting. I hope not.

When he stops, I stop. My eyes fasten to his, noting the derision there hidden in his tones, and my ears flick back at the way his use of my honorary title is spoken so derogatorily. It almost makes my lips twitch. He is unlike Elohim and yet I can see it in the way he tests me. Eden does not do it out of friendship or care - he is an unknown. "Do not label yourself with a word even you do not know the meaning to." There is a cold tone in my voice, a haughty tilt of my muzzle that is unlike my mother. Where this brazeness comes from I'm not sure - perhaps somewhere farther back on my lineage.

"A friend does not abandon one even after death. All those things you say you did, they were out of necessity for your appearance as a ruler. You do the minimum to keep the peace and I guess that is fine, if that is the life you wish to lead, but make no mistake. You were no friend to my family before for when she died it was the children of Iromar left to defend it." I don't know why I find some anger, some blame in my voice. This is foolish, I recognize it, and suddenly I blink hard to remind myself to stop my foolishness.

"That is neither here nor there anyways," I say. "I wished to meet you Eden for you are the father of a dear friend." My eyes had slid away from him but now they push back because I want to see - does he know? Does he care? "Besides, I wished to see how you felt of the plains now that me and my mate have taken it over." These are questions I truly want answers to but also a test, I guess, to see how Eden reacts. After all I did come in here claiming he was no friend of my mother and then switch to diplomacy - but when one is dealing with a shadow they must be careful of lies and deceit.
