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.

How shameful I have become as I let loose a barrage of my torments upon my mate. I expose myself like a flower opening to the sun so that he can see the darkness as it toils within me, desperate for a foothold, and when he turns those eyes upon me it is as if they scatter from fear. He burns it out of me as he speaks, as he listens, his labored breathing a balm to my ears if only because it means he still breaths. He lives. I am not alone - never have been if the truth was to be told. My mother had succeeded in surrounding me with those who both loved and protected me fiercely. They gave me time to grow, I realized as Halcyon defends my inaction in youth. Time to become a stronger, better wolf. I had failed them in that only because it took my so long to do so but I keep that thought tucked in the corner of my mouth. It tasted like ash.

Yet hope flares within my chest as he defends me. As he takes his own blame and lays it bare before me and I look at him with watery eyes, emotions swirling in the green that is so like my mothers and the blue that is reminiscent of a grandmother I would never know. I do not interrupt him as he admits his own faults but I don't feel.... I don't feel any ill will towards him. Perhaps mother knew he would fail if only so he could rise again. Sometimes I thought her omniscient or just very perceptive of things, like the time she drug a screaming boy to Iromar who would grow to be her most faithful follower. I had heard that story countless times and I knew she would approve of my choice in mates. She had loved Halcyon like a son.

"I think... maybe we were both where we were supposed to be." The words feel almost traitorous as they leave my mouth and yet they absolve me slowly. I stare at him with frank weakness in my eyes but I feel a sort of understanding dawning on me. If I had been in Iromar then it is true - I probably would be dead. My father had died and saved me, I think, even if he hadn't known what sacrifice he was making. "You didn't steal me. I chose this. I chose you. I think I chose right," I say with a conviction that laces my voice. That gaping abyss within me has begun to heal and mend, our broken eulogies revealing the truth of things.

"Together, to the end," I whisper in response to him, eyes locked on his as I rise with him. We uncoil like great snakes, stretching our heads to the skies and releasing a most beautiful song of strength, courage, and a never ending faith in one another. I am happy to have unburdened myself. Happy to be here, beneath the open sky with my mate. And I know he will be alright... just as I will be.
