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 IP: 108.55.68.68 Posted on May 17, 2018 at 10:04:06 PM by Hartrender
At first the sound hadn’t raised any suspicion. Hart knew that he was near the boneyard, a place where he was warned not to venture into. Apparently one of the keepers of the place had a strong disliking of white wolves. No matter, he was used to being despised for his appearance one way or another. In any case the faint clattering was probably just a shifting of bones or maybe the keeper was rearranging things. Whatever the case, the yearling had decided that it wasn’t anything to worry about. He had more to worry about from the swamps and bending branches of the trees than a mound of death. Still, he did find the practice to be an interesting one. Would his bones one day sit in that heap? As far as he was concerned, Iromar was home for as long as they would have him.
The length of his stay was always on Hart’s mind, motivating him to learn and train and become as indispensable as he was able. If he could do that then there was a chance he might find himself a permanent place with the wolves of Iromar. Again his eyes skittered to the swamp and the creatures he knew lurked there. In his lurking he’d heard tales of the rites of passage from long before the Darkbringer. Whispers of bringing these rites of passage back. Would he have what it took to pass the test? He doubted Gazmala would help him any more than she was now. She seemed just as keen as Blackthorne to see him train and grow strong. Neither adult seemed particularly prone to coddling, not that he’d know what to do with such behavior.
While Hart was pondering his fate with Iromar, he was pulled from his contemplation by a considerably louder ruckus from up above. There was a rise to his left and he knew the boneyard to be in that general direction. The clattering continued and was followed by the rustling and thudding of something breaking through the underbrush. Another sound broke through it all, though. A sound that he’d only heard from a distance but never uttered himself. Laughter. Blinking, his void-like eyes scanned the slope and spotted the ball of fur just as she broke free of the incline and tumbled to a halt at his feet. Eyes of gold stared up at him from a small, fluffy face. She couldn’t have even been a year old, that was for certain. Her coat was predominantly grey but as he stared there was almost a reddish tint to the fur in certain spots that shifted with the breeze. Overall she seemed a fairly normal pup, certainly not cursed or blighted like he was. Still, normal-looking as she was, it was still odd for a pup her age to be wandering boneyards and tumbling down hills. From what he understood, the pack--his pack--zealously guarded the swamps and borders of Iromar as someplace almost sacred.
Returning his gaze back to the pup, Hart slowly blinked the colorless pools, realizing that she was staring. Instinctively his ears folded and his eyes narrowed, expecting some sort of caustic remark. Despite his time in Iromar, the majority of his life had been spent expecting such words and treatment. When all she did was to roll over and stand, still staring, Hart tilted his head in confusion. He stood there for several seconds, unmoving, waiting for something to happen but the younger pup seemed just as hesitant to move. Frowning, Hart slowly lowered his rump to the ground, the long fur on his tail trailing through the leaf litter and catching bits and pieces as he tucked it around his paws. Silent as he ever was, his ears relaxed and perked forward as he lowered his head and sniffed at the pup. She didn’t smell like the swamp; she smelled like salty air and...some weird and green-smelling.
