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.
So open up my eyes IP: 108.55.68.63 Posted on April 30, 2018 at 11:44:38 PM by Alyse
The sights, sounds and smells of the swampier parts of Iromar were proving to be suitably distracting for Alyse. Her dour mood lifted and once more her imagination ran away from her. As she sniffed here or poked her nose there her mind painted a rather fantastic and, of course, romantic tale. Visions of daring chases through the swamp, avoiding snakes and those strange things that looked like logs but weren’t. Trotting from one point of interest to the next, Alyse plotted a course in her mind. On nimble, gilded feet she jumped up onto a moss covered log, golden eyes taking in the sights around her without actually seeing them. ”Yes, we could run there! But what would we run from? Do the log monsters even come out of the water? Maybe another wolf? A rival!”
Bouncing excitedly at how her scenario had evolved, Alyse’s paw slipped and she tumbled gracelessly from her perch, landing on her back in the mud and gaining herself an unintentional dorsal stripe. Unharmed by the fall, Alyse laughed and scrambled to her feet, tail wagging as she scampered along the path she’d imagined. Yes, this was perhaps how it would go. How exciting would that be if two wolves were enamored with her? Of course she would love only one of them, but perhaps the other wouldn’t accept losing her to his rival. There would be a chase and perhaps a fight! Of course she wouldn’t want the wolf she loved to be injured but wouldn’t it be exciting?
Lost in her latest imagining of the future, Alyse wasn’t exactly paying much attention to the present. It wasn’t until her ears picked up the sound of something large crashing through the tangled undergrowth and cypress trees that she realized that she’d probably wandered a bit far from Zharko’s den. Still fear was not her immediate response; it never seemed to be. Instead as Alyse swung her head around, curiosity shaped her features. Though as a massive black form lurched into view, her expression changed from one of startled curiosity to outright awe. Never before in her life had she seen a wolf so massive. Many of her relatives were on the smaller side. Even those who were tall tended toward lean muscle.
”It’s a bear.”
Her words came out as an awed whisper. The male looked like a wolf but she wasn’t entirely sure it wasn’t just some strange long-tailed bear. She’d never seen one before, but she’d heard stories of them. They were massive and bulky with broad shoulders and...well this wolf was all of those things. Were there bear wolves? Never having had to fear the world around her or those in it, Alyse took first one step then another, closing some of the distance between herself and the massive, dark beast even as his paw--which she was half convinced was as big as her face--was lowered. Tail still swaying slightly behind her, she stretched out her neck to try and catch his scent, the pale silver touched fur on the back of her neck rippling in a damp breeze that cut through the swamplands, making it shimmer in the light that filtered through the trees and the mist. She wasn’t sure what he smelled like, but it wasn’t the swamp, at least not entirely. It was like a crisp, cool breeze was trapped in his dark fur. Smiling, she tipped her head back until she could peer up at the male. Definitely a wolf though she was still suspicious his sire might be a bear. ”Hello. Are you new to Iromar?”
