Inferni
The fifteenth year of Inferni was one of war.
A terrible enemy long thought defeated resurfaced after several years: the Boreas wolves, who sought to wipe out the coyotes and their heathen neighbors. Inferni and Salsola allied once more against the religious fanatics and successfully killed their leaders and drove them out -- though the war was not without its casualties, as some newcomers and innocents perished.
Following war came pestilence: a sickness swept throughout the land, taking the life of longtime member and medic Harosheth Kimaris. As our other trained healers fought to fill the hole Harosheth left, livestock and even some of the clan's new children were taken by the disease.
While Inferni shook off the sickness, however, a different sort of poison was spreading from within. The crimes of Basilio Lykoi -- one of Inferni's head warriors -- came to light, and the man was exiled for his betrayal (and died alone in the wilderness some weeks later). Taking advantage of Basilio's absence, Izual Massacre assaulted a clan mate and fled justice. Inferni would feel the loss of two of its strongest warriors soon...
As Inferni's fifteenth anniversary neared, tension brewed in Drifter Bay A freak attack against her friend Virue led the Aquila, Vesper, to retaliate against the first Salsolan she saw. Weeks later the first casualty emerged: a yearling Infernian was (allegedly) killed by Salsola's second-in-command. Though they were allies against the Boreas just seasons prior, the two packs declared war.
Skirmishes and raids drew blood and led to the Battle of Drifter Bay, a full assault on Salsola that ended in disaster when Vesper was crushed beneath the Salsola Boss's horse. Inferni retreated to lick their wounds, but their enemies did not sleep: on one cold night the D'Neville Mansion -- home to generations of coyotes -- was razed to the ground. Their territory was no longer safe.
By the light of the embers, Vicira Tears assumed leadership of the fire clan from the broken Vesper. Her first act as Aquila was to surrender to Salsola -- but her second was to bring Inferni back to their ancestral homeland: the territories of Bleeding Souls where the fire clan first formed fifteen years prior. The coyotes crossed the mountains once again, and settled in a land that had begun to recover from fires of its own -- beginning the newest chapter in clan history.
Can Inferni rise once more from the ashes? Or will the burned stay burned?

(Favorite Thread)Bronx’s body trembled. Had he the strength, he would have shook his head. “‘Koba…I’m…I’m scared…” He wanted to fight the darkness. He didn’t want it to take him away. It was so hard though, and he was so tired.

God did not want them to be happy, she reflected, opening the door and stepping into the dimly lit space. God wanted them to be strong.

(Favorite Thread)Her multicolored eyes narrowed, oh did they narrow, at the threat of being haunted. Ghosts were a very real thing in the life of the dark-furred female, and Redtooth's flippant commentary caused her to bristle unhappily. So naturally, she hid behind someone else.
