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.
I'll turn into a monster for you, if you pay me enough IP: 108.55.67.229 Posted on March 13, 2018 at 02:49:01 AM by Hartrender
Silence was almost like a mask that the young boy wore. He’d learned long ago that protesting his fate got him nowhere. That combined with his supposedly unnatural appearance tended to get people to leave him alone far more quickly than asking them to. A bit of silence and an unblinking stare went much further than a plea. Some days he was almost certain that he’d forgotten how to use his voice, it had been so long. Very, very young he’d begun to retreat within himself. So when the Darkbringer snaps at him, startling the boy, not a single sound is heard though his black eyes widen like gaping pools of oil. Gaze fixed firmly on the black and silver wolf before him, the boy’s brow furrowed as he willed himself to keep his gaze still.
It wasn’t that he looked to Gazmala for any sort of comfort or reassurance, really. There was no one in all of the world that would give it to him. Even after spending only a single year upon the earth he’d come to that conclusion. He was on his own and would succeed or fail by his own merit. He would just as soon succeed rather than fail so he supposed he ought to pay more attention to the Darkbringer and his words.
The terms for his training were fair. A meal a day was more than he was guaranteed on his own. He fully intended to bring in more once he could hunt properly. His thoughts of greatness were far more intangible than thoughts of one day perhaps not being hungry. That was currently his motive and quite frankly he would do just about anything to find himself in a position where he did not always have the claws of hunger raking at his belly. However, talk of a name...the boy wasn’t sure what to make of that. The rather deadpan nature of his expression seemed to crack and genuine confusion and something akin to awe seeped through the fissures. A name!
Not even his own parents had bothered giving him a name once his eyes had opened and they’d realized he’d been cursed. You didn’t give curses names, it only made them stronger. But as the Darkbringer bestowed a name upon the cursed waif, it was almost as though it were true. His ears twitched at the sound of the name and his head lifted just a little. He didn’t particularly know what breaking hearts or causing chaos entailed but the way the Darkbringer said it made it seem as though it was something he should want to do.
He had a name…
From Thorne’s side, Gaz was fairly beaming, her tongue darting out and raking across her teeth as the Darkbringer glanced at her. Her eyes lit up at the offer of a boon. Oh how she adored favors. She cherished them and hoarded them like winter rations, only more precious. What would she ask for? Would he let her ferret away her boon for later? Did he expect her to act impulsively and demand some silly little thing or another? ”Must I decide now, my sweet?” She couldn’t help but tease with pet names, trying to discover which got the best reaction out of him. Perhaps it was foolish and a bit dangerous, but what was life without a bit of danger?
Meanwhile the newly dubbed Hartrender watched the interaction before fixing his gaze on the one who would train him. He wasn’t sure what the relationship was between the two of them and quite frankly he didn’t care. Though at the mention that he would be training with another by the name of Aspis, Hart couldn’t help but wonder himself if he might be able to learn faster and earn a permanent place with Gazmala and the Darkbringer. It hadn’t occurred to him before but unless the wolves before him were entirely full of shit, they were his best bet to learn everything he would ever need to know to keep himself fed and defend himself against assault from supersiticious assholes. Determined to put everything he had into his training, Hart narrowed his eyes and huffed softly, barely a sound really.
