"You left me on one knee at your doorstep
When days weren't enough time with you,
You left me broken and cold,
no ice-breaker can ignore,
This undying fascination that began before time.."

For Cour des Miracles, the year began with a friendly tournament between Casa and the Court. Members participated in races, archery, and other knightly competitions. The event was wrapped up in a ball for all, to solidify the friendship between the two unallied packs.
This year, the Court celebrated it's fourth birthday and experienced a very quiet year. Very little happened in the pack by way of invasion and death, but was not completely uneventful. A betrayal by Skoll's companion Belmonte causes trouble for the pack. The tension culminates in Belmonte attacking Pascal Sadira. However, he is rescued by Silvano Sadira and Skoll Haskel, who kills Belmonte and ends his aggression. A Salsola spy, Artemesia, entered the ranks to get information about the Court but walked away with little of true value.
Life, however, frequently bloomed. Several litters were born into the pack (and outside of it as well). Aoves and Harvey Butler welcomed two litters; Estella, Samuel, Basil, Silvia, and Vivienne. Rio Marino and Liam Catori had two litters: Valencia and Aithne. Silvano Sadira had a litter born out of the Court, to Shiloh in Vinatta; they had Abigail and Alessan. .

"There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. There will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment." -- Yamamoto Tsunetomo
