Welcome, Guest!

[Athena Nike]

Hello, hello!

This is a pack meeting, so your character is technically required to attend. If you can't make it, or if you don't want to, just PM me and you'll be fine.

In a nutshell, Korinth was demoted to a band because packs require 7 members (I made this call myself, it only seemed fair). I have full confidence we'll be a pack again in a few weeks, with even more members.

Immediately, I could use wolves who are willing to be students and teachers. If you're curious, take a look at our Band Roster.

This thread is open for all wolves, whether Korinth (now Demetrius), potential member, or potential student. No post order. Next round Feb 1st at the latest.

As Athena's paws, looking more like ugly hooves than things to walk on, paced back and forth on the rocky mountainside of Carpathean Mountains, there was only one doubt in her mind. Would they hear? She knew she had already rounded up the broken hearted who roamed the Northern Plains in desperation, and felt that she had secured their hearts and loyalty; and for good reason: they were starving. All the lot of them. It was difficult to eat properly as a loner, one simply couldn't walk up to an elk and as for a drumstick. Having slowly tamed her inner urges to maul everything and everyone simply for the fun of it, her thoughts had turned to planning. It seemed the old girl's mind hadn't actually gotten any slower over the years, just her body. At least, for now. It had taken her a while to work up the nerve to challenge the seemingly absent alpha, Birkaneu. And now that he hadn't shown up, she felt that the place was officially hers. But not the plains, it wasn't safe there. But it wasn't growing testicles that had taken her so long, but rather, plotting and planning the world's conquest. And how to keep her brainless alternate personality from screwing it all up. At last, Athena felt she had all the answers. Not long ago, they had hunted. Now, it was time to begin. Athena lifted her head to the sky and filled her lungs to capacity. A moment or two ticked by, her eyes watering, but her heart savoring the delicious anxiety and throbbing of her heart with the effort. "Cooooome! I have neeeews!", she sang with all her might.

[DeCaff Lyra]

It came as no surprise that the female had been issued into a pack that was prepared for constant change. While the time came for her to make up her mind, stay or sneak away in the night, DeCaff had found her new found affection for the crazed lady a hold on her. Secretly, she resented the notion that she had liked Athena - why would she like a female so powerful, so old and knowledgable while she laced and twisted her words around in such an elegant format that it proved tricky? The female had found refuge under the crazed lady, and for that DeCaff felt content to stick around. To indulge and to explore while life taunted and tempted her forward. So when the howl broke the air, the female who had wandered off and on had went straight for the call that had not been of the valley, but had been of the one who she had accepted as her superior, her leader.

The problem with having a leader, meant that the leader would choose who was worthy of a higher position. While the female surged forward obediently, long imprints remaining on the ground, she considered what had become of this. Would she be pleased in some lowly, ill-begotten position after Athena had woven temptation into her ears? Not at all, she would not be steadily pleased with herself for accepting some inferior position simply because another had arrived first. Tension slipped through her muscles as she moved, but considered what was to become of this. Home - what a silly notion that such was, but she forced herself onward into the mountains. Eyes reverently slipped over the inclines, and she considered what was necessary. Somehow, finding her place lingered on her mind. That meant making such grand shows of effort, however.

When her eyes finally landed on the female, after her long travels to each where the echoing howl had been birthed from, she observed the mountains with caution. The scents were littered here and there with the thought of bodies. The female’s heart lunged in her chest, wanting to explore, but held herself in place. Eyes swept over the older female, warmth in the calm expression like that of an easy old friend. She knew the expression was unwarranted, but it was not in her nature to look unfriendly, or cordial. She liked to warm her way into situations, no matter the opportunity that presented herself to her. Something about these mountains purred to her, quietly filling her up and she swallowed down the notion that that nibbled away at her attention span. She was explore soon enough. Pleasant expression firmed up as she called, "My lovely woman, your summons is the most beautified call that these mountains have heard in quite some time I may think..." Yet it was clear the female was enamored with it, the liveliness filled her up and, she pushed the air from her lungs with pleasure. Such loveliness.

Were they to stay here? Eager eyes swept back to Athena, notion luring her into thoughts she had tried to refrain from in the past. History. It was covered in these mountains, but she was still such a stranger; would the mountains open up to her? Hopeful eyes waited, waited for the answers of her leader and the songs of the mountain itself to open as she pulled herself to finally rest.

[Harriet]

H a r r i e t

The sabre sharp eyes, rolled in tint of golden brown piked the silvering gray coloring of the small stones, ironically, she is colorblind and all she could see is black scale, the vision of Harriet's. Affinity for stones is just hereditary passed, she is like a small pup around the little pieces of rocks all around, it is enjoyment for her to push them around and even crush them, they are weak and small, only big boulders are almighty, capable to roll and aim at her and crush.

Harriet didn't know why she was roaming here, around these mountains, probably absent minded side of her swept again, and isolate feeling was wrapping dearly around her legs and prevent her from traveling from places to places around. Oh it was time for some good walk. It felt like those loner days again in her birth land which she suffered most lonely and terrible years.

She was so glad that everything seems to be a lot better as she moved here to Torva, she will remember these grounds as her home when someday final destruction, even if she dies, she would still remember it, as something where sadness and happiness was there.

As she heard familiar voice, well, singing voice here. Echo away, and find it's way to weep inside Harriet's sensitive ears.

She was sure it was the old Athena, and as fast as her legs could, Harriet ran the whole field trough, leading her voice, until she saw her frame from the distance, clearly it was her!

The white firefly quickly came to her and smiled dearly at her, "Greetings dearest gray heart!" ever since she met her past time, she didn't change much besides missing her face that even seemed that it was long time ago.

[Solaris]

Solaris walked down the stone littered path of the mountains range the Demetrius pack called their home, she had set of down the mountains to explore and to memorize the paths, nooks and crannies of the mountains so she, would be better suited to help guard the pack and fight of potential intruders, she had every intent not to allow anyone else to feel the pain she had felt when she lost everything, she would lose her new pack like she had lost her own and even if no one knew and most likely would never know, her past was what drove her to, do her best to aid her new pack and their leader Athena, even old as the lady was, Solaris was sure she was a good leader, age to her did not make a leader, a leader was judged by their decisions and their ability to still fight for their pack.

As Solaris continued down the mountain path she heard the singing voice of Athena calling to the pack to come and gather for she had news and with that Solaris turned in direction the call had come from and went into a run to get to the meeting place as fast as she possibly could.

Once arriving from where Athena`s call had come, Solaris spotted two other wolves there all ready and she figured these two where her other pack members but for the moment she ignored them as she walked up to Athena and bowed her head in respect for old lady, “my lady, you have summoned and I have heard the call. What news do you have for us?” she questioned her voice soft as she rested her one good eye on Athena

[Athena Nike]

Ranks updated; small shuffle. I'm aiming for another pack activity soon.

There are 2 special mission outlined in Athena's post. DeCaff has a mission already, would anyone like to take it up?

Mission 1 : Explore Renatio's old home, the Crimson Caves
Mission 2 : Meet Alyxio and try to form an alliance

Meeting officially adjourned but feel free to stick around. You can monetize this thread for points if your character posts an exit.

As only 3 of her 4 soldiers filed in, one by one, Athena's face was lit in a warm smirk as she nodded a greeting to each in turn. How good it felt to be admired. Why had that old fool Athena ever bothered to try to create that Simul pack only to hand it over to another who soon disbanded it? Such a stupid hag that other personality was. Soldiers, warriors, family, these were the wolves who would change the world, unite the wolves, and feed the hungry. Could any other pack claim that? In Athena's mind, they were gods. "Excellent news, Solaris. The sun has set on a lonely man of old who once claimed an empty pack and empty Northern Valley, merely to sulk in them. He has left, he is gone. That valley is vulnerable, though food is slightly more plentiful. Our new home will be these mountains, sought after for centuries, a fortress of great kings. We model ourselves after the first wolf to ever walk these lands, Demetrius, and continue in his old home, in his stead. His spirit watches over us as long as we watch over his legacy: to prevent the rise of evil, to feed the hungry, to teach those who yearn for knowledge. Unlike other packs, we are ambitious, and our purpose is more than just a family. " "What I ask of each of you is simple: be a family, be wary, and do not dig. It is not wise to unearth the bones of those who were slaughtered in this place of bloodshed. As your leader, but more importantly, as your friend, I regret to inform you that I have a slight medical condition. If another Athena should walk amongst you, tell her who she is : a Demetrius. If she cries, let her alone, she is far too old to throw childish tantrums. " Oh, how long it had taken to come up with the right words to say, the right things to call themselves. While continuing Demetrius' legacy was a noble deed, it was all a front. There were only two real motivations for it. The first to squeeze the stupid Athena's bleeding heart - the woman who still cared and felt sure she would have married him. Incapacitated by grief and pain that she was incapable of dealing with, part of the very pain that had created the split personalities, she would be unable to meddle. The second was simpler: merely to attach their name to someone more famous. "To the west, a pack lead by Azren roams about. They are unafraid to trample on our territory and treat us like vermin. They are like stubborn cockroaches, and we will stomp on those who seek to pollute what we have worked so hard for. If we stand up for ourselves, they will go away. Kill them on sight. " "To the south, a great horror once lived in the Crimson Caves. That pack has long since been quiet as the grave, but swore to rose again. It is time to patrol it to make sure that no evil is breeding. Will anyone go?" "Lastly, a pack to the east is led by a family man and simply seeks to give a home to those who have none. They do little else, but their hearts are noble. It would be wise to seek an alliance, but I am sour with words and meetings bore me. Will anyone go as a politician? " "To continue Demetrius' legacy, we teach. We will be gracious and allow students to roam freely while they are being taught, as long as they are respectful. But we must be wise and not let our guard down against those who wish to harm us or take our lands. Lessons will begin soon."

[Solaris]

Solaris listened intently as her Alpha spoke, telling her pack of the news , that mountains Athena had called them to was now to bet their packs home, and if not for the fact Solaris did not want to be seen as slightly crazy she might have howled with joy, she had a new home now and a family, a family who needed her like her old one had, the family whom she had failed, but she would not fail again, she would not fail her new family, not now ever, she would have to die before she failed again, nothing else would stop her now, absolutely nothing.

She listened on as Athena spoke of two missions she needed them to do, a mission of patrol and a mission to go and seek and alliance with another pack and listened as she spoke of how they would teach others, Solaris made a note to offer herself as a teacher later on but first she would go on one of the missions Athena offered, “my lady, I will go immediately and patrol the crimson caves, as you have requested, I swear to you I will bring you news of my findings as soon as my patrol has finished, but I will patrol as long as needed” she said with a voice full of determination before she bowed her head to Athena and turned around, walking away from where the pack meeting had been held and headed towards the south and the Crimson Caves.
