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.
A bit of poison, a bit of powder: starfall IP: 174.196.134.19 Posted on July 18, 2017 at 02:02:58 PM by Arace
The little Queen turns a vicious snarl upon her but Arace's stoic face does not flicker. To her this trial of puerile - the outcome is clear and defined. Although perhaps she is a bit base in thinking it will be the same as Taviora. A deep hole wherein she is left to wither albeit given food and and hydrated but refused exercise and entertainment. The punishment here would be far worse but as her face shutters closed she prepares herself. A sardonic lift of her brow is given to Pine as if to say "I heard you and you have answers, what now?" She tried to speak to Arace's compassion but is met with only steely yellow eyes. What can be said to fix a wrong? Eleanor was a marked woman and Arace simply did as she was bid to pay back debts incurred. It seemed, for now, she was abandoned to this disgusting land and she felt a flicker of self-fury that she should be caught. Except alarm suddenly peeks through her eyes as Pine metes out her punishment and Arace is quick to use her only hope - she presses into that bond she shares with Starfall, opening herself inward in a way she has learned that might draw his attention and letting her alarm ratchet up so that he might feel it.
The male is ignored for only a moment as she tenses, fight lining each muscle as she prepares to retaliate should they attack: she senses his movement and spins towards him with teeth flashing but he is swift and brutal and she is taken down by two beasts from different directions. A yelp is let loose as Curiass snatched her scruff and Despoina assaults her body. She twists beneath those teeth, feeling the pop as they puncture her thick skin, and snarls and scratches at the dirt as something akin to fear alights in her blood. He drags her inexorably closer to that water as blood begins to run hot through her fur from Despoinas ripping and scratching. And while she yelps, she does not scream out. She does not beg.
Then her face is trust beneath the stinking, putrid water and algae fills her nostrils as she gasps on instinct and water floods her throat. The large paws of Despoina press her head down and she feels her skin ripping and tear around her cheeks as the beast attacks mercilessly. This is not like what she had done - she had killed quickly and humanely - this was torture and viciousness. Fear beats hard on the heels of intense pain, her lungs burning as they drown in liquid, as she struggles beneath their combined weight. Tantalizing gasps of air, spurts of coughing, then water once more until her vision swims and dims and darkness takes over.
Even on the throes of unconsciousness her body reacts to their torture. As they drag her out and water leaks from her mouth, her face tattered and shoulders slashed. Each bite of Curiass is met with a twitch of muscle and when she begins to stir Despoina's savaging of her paw makes her cry out and pass out once more even as the beast scars each paw, her forepaw limp and twisted in an odd angle. She is nothing but dirt, mud, blood, and tears, and they drain her of blood and will do that her breaths become so shallow as to almost skip in time, heart stuttering. Replies:
