News - 6/19/21
Summer is here and Fall is short around the corner. There is unrest as it stands but, perhaps it is to our advantage. Let no one question our strength. Those who wish to speak on rank, seek me out. If anyone wishes to put a hunt together inform me. Adults or others who wish to rise in rank may seek me out.

It was a steady struggle of time and healing as I watched, day after day, while Halcyon valiantly fought to grow stronger. Then, it seemed, he would relapse and I would curse the gods and the skies above if only to heal him completely. I had even told Solstice to come to the den and see him, hoping their bond could hearten him or maybe do some magical healing thing. She had proven her innocence to me with the word of Jinx and her own sweet sort of caring and besides, I could no longer fret over such foolish things when I had found my own imprint, one just quite a bit more complicated than his. I had no desire to be with him other than to ascertain his wellness and THAT was a subject for debate because the man basically said he heard voices (which he also spoke). It was concerning that HE was my soul half but I suppose the soul doesn't know better than the heart or head anyways.

Another reason I kept my troubles from Halcyon is because he so longed to get back into the fold of leadership, to be able to trot across the fields beneath the warm autumn sun. It wouldn't do to burden him anymore and yet it was eating at me. This malice in my heart had begun to grow and I was changing, in a state of chrysalis. This is why my mother was so hard at times, the softness so rare about her that those memories shine bright in my minds eye. I would protect the pack with my last breath even if I longed for the simplistic days of childhood.

I'm here, he says, and I sigh in relief although I try to smother the sound into my fore leg. To me, I'm here means that he was alive still, that he was fighting still. His voice sounds weak today and I fidget for a moment, trying to decide if I should have gone to fetch him food. But as he comes to the edge of the den I ignore my thought - he still had a hard time eating and sometimes I felt almost guilty bullying him into it when I knew he would throw most back up later anyways. I didn't want to be the bad guy today, even if Hal told me I wasn't. He presses his nose into my scruff and I follow suit, head dipping down to his smaller figure. When I was a pup he was a grand figure - mighty and strong. Now I was bigger but I never thought him fragile until this moment when I feel the press of his bones against tight skin. The lackluster quality to his fur. Yet I press in anyways because I am desperate to keep him here with me in the realm of the living.

As he lies down I follow suit, knowing his legs probably ache from tiredness. The sickness has sapped him deep and when he finally is ready to start venturing it will be a hard task. His muscles are weakened by their continual rest and need rebuilding. Viserys had told me as much. I still as Hal asks me the question, eyes widening for a fraction of a moment. How did he know? Yet he has always been more keen than me, more observant and in touch with others. I was selfish.

Slowly I let out a breath and look out the den as darkness begins to dim everything. "I've shut out Glorall." I was blunt, almost emotionless, to start. "One of their wolves was scared off by your brother the other night sniffing around Faolans den." I almost wince as I mention Mugen. "I've doubled the border patrol." For a moment I fall silent, then I speak with a bit more nakedness To my voice. "I think it is Eden getting back at me. But he failed, Halcyon!" Now my voice grows quicker, fury lining my shoulders and grief settling over me. "He told me Vesper has been gone for SEASONS. That he has no idea where she was. I found her Hal! I found her and she was dead and forgotten. By the alpha she chose! And I didn't even know! What does that make me?" The last words are almost quiet, my internal pain lingering on my voice. "I buried her." And I told no one.
