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.
Speak only if you have something to say IP: 174.59.211.44 Posted on December 31, 2017 at 10:01:55 PM by Aspen
Being deaf, one had to be resourceful. Aspen was nothing if not resourceful. He’d never been bitter about his difference, never begrudged his siblings their hearing. Even without that critical sense, he’d learned to use his other senses to make up for his shortcomings. He used the vibrations in the ground and the air, he used the minute changes in scents and body language to read situations. It was because of this that he knew something was transpiring within the den. He couldn’t make out what she was saying but it seemed that she was planning something.
Tucked into his corner of the den, Aspen watched as things progressed, his eyes partially closed to feign ignorance. A quick glance told him that Lock was paying attention as well. His brother was another reason he never complained about his deafness. It was hard to say which was worse, being deaf or mute, but he would never force his brother to contemplate that. Brushing the thought aside however, he turned his attention to his siblings. No sooner had both of their parents left than Metzli darted out of the den, Whisper and Hemlock not far behind her.
With a sigh, the remarkably mellow pup hesitated for a moment before deciding that it would be best if he went with. Metzli and Whisper could be a handful and as big as he was, Lock might not be able to handle them both on his own. Aspen emerged from the den just as his brother slipped ahead of Whisper to forge a trail; clever thinking. Shaking out his mahogany speckled coat, he rolled his shoulders then trotted after the others to take up the rear post. Wouldn’t do to have something sneak up on his siblings, not that he’d be able to do much more than warn them to run. He was far too young to do serious damage to anyone or anything that was out to do them harm.
As they slowed on their trek, Aspen saw his brother’s ears twitch and honed in on his body language. They had found something and sure enough, as Whisper pressed forward, her breathing interrupted by what he was sure were words spoken to Metzli that he couldn’t make out. Metzli, being a silly little creature, was bouncing around in the snow, seemingly having the time of his life but the fact remained; none of them were supposed to be out here. A snowflake landed on his nose and for a brief moment, Aspen went cross-eyed as it melted. Blinking, he turned his green speckled eyes up to the sky and sighed softly.
It was snowing and given how harsh this winter was, not that he’d known any other, it would probably be best to head back to the den before their father came home and found them all missing. A thud vibrated through the ground, faint but still there and Aspen lowered his gaze from the hazy sky to the scene before him. Hemlock had gone after Metzli and was now on the ground. A faint grunt of concern escaped him as he pushed forward, coming to stand beside Whisper. He didn’t go further, however, as Hemlock pulled himself to his paws, one of which he seemed to be favoring. ”What was the point of this little excursion exactly?” He spoke carefully, making sure that his voice carried; Aspen tended to speak softly, finding it hard to regulate his volume and tone when he couldn’t hear his own voice.
