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.

The alligator flops to the ground at her feet and I offer her a suave smile, the swish of my tail a sign of respect and friendship. I wasn't overly noble, that was entirely certain, but she was of a brave stock and her ending of Aranck proved to me her worthiness. Despite how impressively tiny she is along with her youthful age. Youth could be a good thing though as the mind was fresh and the body spry, so I do not judge. She comes to me with a friendly demeanor and I offer up my knowledge and gift with poise, watching as her mood tumbles down with a slight tilt of my handsome muzzle. "They will be set to rights before too long, Pine." I want to say Queen Pine but my mouth stumbles over the word and I have a hard time saying it. I have been a loner my whole life so it would take some time to accustom myself with it.
"With you ruling, I believe it," I say calmly, assured in her beliefs. Her perseverance is what saved the day and I had little doubt she would be a progressive leader. Iromar seemed beyond tainted in memories and yet there were redeeming leaders who tried to thrust it forward in time. "Certainly, little Queen," I say with a brazen grin. My title for her is no derogatory, indeed there is respect in my voice, but I also test her slightly. To see how she would react to such a statement - was she insecure about her size? Proud of it? Stern to disrespect?
Centaur. My blue-silver eyes gleam as I grin and puff my chest up proudly. Pride is a vice of my family and I knew I was a dashing fellow. "Thank you." There is a deep respect in my voice as I dip my head and then my smile slides away and I look a little ill. Uneasiness sits with me as I look back at her with weary eyes. "Actually there is something I need to... get off my chest." I shift a little as I feel a heat kicking up within me. The cowardly part of me wants to run from this again. The story only left my lips once and that was to the calm Sleekwing, because Israfel had wanted us to meet. Even my favorite child friend was out casted from me for a time.
"I... oh damn it," I curse as I try to say the words, ears flipping back. "You see.... before... all this stuff Aithne found me and asked me to help her. Help her catch Aranck that is. I did that in exchange for fresh food and a warm den because I was... am still I guess... a mercenary tracker of sorts. Anyways I was the one that found him and brought him here to face justice." Now I growled in the back of my throat before fixing steely eyes on her - I had to fortify myself lest she went off on me. "I was there when he killed her. It happened so fast she didn't even have a chance really. I think it was when her mate died because suddenly she just.. I don't know... gasped and stumbled and he was like a buzzard on a carcass. It was too late by the time I even realized what was happening."
I pause to let it sink in because she would also realize no one else knew this which mean I hadn't done anything. Said anything. "Look, I'm not a big wolf either and I've no skill with fighting, little Queen. He threatened to kill me then and there and I took whatever chance I had and fled. It's eaten at me every day and night and I regret not doing anything but I also am okay with it because there was nothing I could have done. I haven't your courage. I just thought you needed to know that and it might be some.. closure or something for her family." I looked ashamed of myself but also indignant as well because I had to defend myself. Just in case.
