2016 Yearbook

Krokar

Ichika no Ho-en It's been another busy year in Krokar! 2016 started off with a lot of puppies: two born to Semini with Sapien, Nikita Volkov, followed closely by four to Lucille and Gus Cormier! Rounding out the year's litters were two born to Eliza Cormier and Milos Parhelion in August.

But not all was rosy in the months between the births. Hardship and tragedy struck in mid-March when Milos' past caught up with him. After destroying Krokar's Depot in the south, a group of mercenaries known as the Austringer Cartel arrived at the pack's borders in search of Milos and his friend, Sorcha. Demanding the two former slaves as ransom, the cartel promised Krokar horses and the return of Eliza's friend, Peony. The pack's refusal to give into the Austringer Cartel's demands resulted in a brief, but fierce, battle and the ensuing confrontation ended in Sorcha's death, along with several of the Austringers. Two of the survivors joined Krokar as Flotsam and began to make up for their misdeeds.

While the pack was still reeling from the Austringer Hostility, a meteor dubbed the Red Star fell into the ocean, and the resulting shockwaves damaged a lot of the pack lands while causing flooding and terrifying earthquakes. The pack came together, with the welcome assistance to their allies in Sapient, to help each other and make all the repairs they could.

With the unwelcome excitement during the beginning of the year, the pack enjoyed the relative calm that followed. New buildings were built, including watch towers at various sites along the border and they held the Celebration of Achievements with caribou races featured prominently. Malina, sponsored by Semini, won this year's race! Other achievements included promotions throughout the ranks, notably the promotion of Milos Parhelion to Quartermaster.

September saw an increase in members, and, as a result, leadership decided to expand the lands and shift their borders to include more of the Miramichi river. Trade continued as well, including acquiring a llama and other goods from one of Vinatta's members in return for a young caribou. During ongoing talks for another livestock agreement with AniWaya, the tribal pack disbanded, and Krokar acquired a large amount of livestock in the process. After the loss of the Krokar Depot, the pack started a new venture in an attempt to increase trade: the Old Ironsides Depot on the way to Portland.

With all the new animals settled in, the pack began to tuck in for the winter, looking forward to the new year.

She considered Storm's translated gestures with some thought, her golden eyes distant with displeasure. "Ach, ne," she agreed. "But dinnae ye think it might save someone else from yer fate?" Ailie paused, her eyes shifting from Storm to the sky. "Ah know things from m' antaidh," she continued, glancing sidelong at the Cormier. "Tha' would stop yon bawbag from hevin' other bairns." After a brief, amused pause, the woman grinned. "Ne pun intended, bu' it's appropriate."

"She remembers that there was once a time in her life that she believed the best of the world. And though it is but a lock of hair, she knows that once the Devil takes it, she can never feel that way again."

Lotan

(Favorite Thread) (Mature)

He plunged through the air, smelling of secret trails and fresh wind, of sunshine and all the best parts of the world where boys like to roam. It was a mighty leap, and the spectacular spray of water could not wash the whole of this from him. Too much of it had stained his fur steely black-blue in the sunlight, and where grass dyed his white the same endless color of the trees around them.

(Favorite Thread)

He loved Eliza more with every setting moon and every rising sun. He wanted to share all of her desires and all her worries and all her joys. He wanted to know her fears and her passions. He wanted to know her saddest memory and her happiest moment.

And in turn, he wanted share all of those pieces of himself with her too.

To resist a compulsion with willpower alone is to hold back an avalanche by melting the snow with a candle. It just keeps coming and coming and coming.

Her eyes stung this time when the wind came back. It was strange how an absence could make a person whole, and then in another moment, make them empty again.

"Blue is boring," she challenged, waving her swatch of leaves at Ailie. "Everyone likes blue. How about a nice honey yellow? Or yellow like wildflowers in the spring, or the gold when the sun falls on the river in the morning." That, she thought, reminded her of her brother Lotan and her chest felt tight with sadness.
