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.

do not go gentle into that good night
Blood. The very word thrilled him. The taste exalted him. The smell burned within him. It was the thing that Thorne had shed almost every single day to get where he was. At this moment no blood was spilled - he counted it a rather poignant, glorious thing. Blackthorne, the Darkbringer, who was so prone to fighting and snarling, winning a pack without even a scratch. Later he would laugh about it. Cackle with glee and tell those around him about how merciful he was. How benevolent he was to these little Queens and their little wolfies. It would all be a joke. His wolves knew him - they understood the core heart beating within him.
As the wolves turned to leave, their tears leaving a salty imprint on the air behind them, a smaller figure dashes forward. Thorne's head spins in the direction of this furious male, his silver cowlick on his crown standing to attention, backed by the obsidian of his fur. "Come closer an--" He begins to say with a hissing threat, violence flashing in those charcoal eyes, but the male is so caught up in the moment there is no reason.
Halcyon dashes forward and Thorne rocks back onto his haunches so that when Halcyon leaps up at his throat, which he tucks away with his jaw, the male barrels them both end over end. Oh, he does get a good bite along the jaw of Thorne. Blood runs freely down that silver fur but Thorne allows the smaller wolf to fall atop him for only a moment, letting gravity and velocity do the work. The moment that Halycon is atop him and they are belly to belly, his back paws press, along with his front, and he throws the wolf over his head. If his claws leave behind a gash in that tender underbelly, well, so be it!
Abruptly he flips over, his body honed from fighting and training, and he slowly rises with a snarl. "Natiya. Show the male that my threats are not idle." His words are sharp, cutting, and the silver female at his side turns gracefully towards the children. Aspis lays crouched, Whisper ducked down, but the boy is closer. Swift as an adder she is at the side of Zharko and bites down on the scruff of the boy, causing him to yelp in sudden pain. She has been trained her entire life to obey. Zharko told her how much pressure to apply, how to do her work, and she does now, leaving her fangs dug into the boy with him pressed to the ground, those eyes firmly rooted on Thorne as if he is the center of the world.
