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 is almost like a kick in my chest to spy him. He is dark and gray and a shadow that writhes across the blinding snow. For a moment I can see it - the Eden that stains the length of his jaw, the cunning of his movements, meant with each reveal to have the topmost effect. I hated that cunning in Eden, the way his yellow eyes had been able to see beneath the barrier of my skin and soul to target the weakness within me. To flush it out like a fox in a rabbit warren so that I was left shaking and bare to the world. Elohim had tried once and I had wounded him for it - with him I felt powerful and it led me to my fiery response. With his father I had only felt small and broken, a child in the clothes of a Queen.

But I had been burned and forged and my tail rises as I turn to steel before him, a molten Queen, my caution both of my own making and his. At least, I suppose, I had learned. At least I was becoming better, wiser, perhaps crueler. At least Elohim could look at me now and see not a scared girl, lost as I once had been, but a burgeoning Queen and Phoenix with an ember in my heart.

He looks at me with those sly eyes and I feel a sort of thrill as well as an intense longing. Once he had been one of my closest friends and here I stand, unable to decide if he still was. Begging him, inside, to just tell me. To just let me know if that was still the case. I think for him I would be foolish once more - I would open my pack to him, I would bring him to my side as my Chancellor like I had once promised. Yet the look in his eyes isn't that of an enemy but neither one of just a friend and I wonder, with a start, if I had been wrong all along.

Are you scared of me?

"No," I say and that iron laces my voice as I stare at the scar across his shoulders. He had not struck back, not physically at least, and yet his words are wounding. They are twofold and so like Eden that my ears snap back, temper flaring, but I remain silent for a moment. And then I blaze forward with my firm steps so that we are close once more. A... thing of trust with the bodies growing within me. "Why should you fear me if you are here as my friend? Is that why you've come?" Was this to be the same argument every time? "Where do you stand, Elohim? With blood that you, yourself, has told me does not stand with you. Or with me." I had failed him before, I know, but to admit it in this moment would undermine my Queenly demands of him. My head has found its way to his scar and then I turn so my eyes meet his, our faces close. "You were my Chancellor. You still are, if you want it. What is it that YOU want?" Not Eden. Not me. HIM.
