High Summer, Year 10

Year 3 of Ákiljöf's Reign

High Summer. It's hard to believe it's been two years now. Time passes by so quickly and yet I feel too young to have been leading the pack this long. Today seems the best day to reflect on that time . . . My father prepared me well, I think. Certainly as well as he could have--I can think of nothing he didn't teach me that I wish he had, nor anything else I needed but find myself short--save my father himself. My heart grows heavy as I watch my older siblings, Miki and Myrkur, grow old as he did. They are gracious in their age as both my parents were, but time is unforgiving. I wanted my family to stay together when the pups came of age, but I didn't consider that time would tear it apart anyway. Ah . . . it's probably unfit of me to dwell on the sorrows that are a part of life.

Sága has taken a bad injury on a hunt today, but we've gotten through bad injuries before. I can only be hopeful. In truth, our pack has been fortunate thus far; we have lost no one to injury or illness, our five pups grew up healthy and strong, we are able to feed ourselves without worry, even through the winter. There is so much to be grateful for. Should I live to be as old as my father I will have another four years with the pack. I will see my older siblings pass, but it will be in peace and comfort if I have any say in it at all. I may even live long enough to see my littermates pass on. Or perhaps they, or the pups will get some itch to see the world for themselves. Hah . . . just now it's hard to imagine the pups even being able to feed themselves but there will come a time. Certainly they try hard enough.

One day I will grow old, but it will not be for a while yet. We are a strong pack with strong pups and they will carry on long after us. My focus for this third year as Alpha will be to strengthen our pups closer to their full potential.

Late Summer, Year 10

Year 3 of Ákiljöf's Reign

Oh, I know what you're thinking; 'Way to go, Sága. Go get injured on Ákiljöf's big anniversary.' Well it wasn't on purpose and my track record is impeccable. Just so everyone is aware. It wasn't even that bad of an injury. The knock to the head was worse than the wound. Honestly. The only reason I couldn't hunt anymore was because I couldn't see straight. Ákiljöf was all ready to pack up and leave for the Hollow again this morning--I was barely able to catch him to stop him from going! All I needed was a good night's rest. Everybody worries too much. I'm actually pretty annoyed the wound scarred; you may not have noticed but I was the only one of my siblings that didn't have the mark of some old injury. *sigh* At least it's only a small one . . . You might be wondering what the pack's stalker was doing to get a knock in the head. Well as it turns out the details are a little fuzzy . . . Ahem. Carry on, then!

End of Summer, Year 10

Year 3 of Ákiljöf's Reign

Miki'lorka and Myrkur have passed on. We all knew they were growing older and that their time was coming but we really weren't prepared to loose them so soon; nor did we expect that they would both go at once. I try to look at it positively--at least they are together as they make the journey beyond--but it is a sudden blow to our hearts. Poor quiet Myrkur . . . perhaps it makes sense that they went together. Myrkur was never happy unless he was by the side of one of his litter mates. In the end all he had left was Miki'lorka.

Reva is taking Miki's loss particularly hard. It is no secret that she was Reva's favorite aunt. In truth they were so alike I think Reva found as much kinship with her aunt as with her own litter mates. She is doing her best to continue hunting with the other pups--as a chaser the success of the hunt is not as weighted on her role--but it is clear she is distracted and that her heart is not in it.

Khushi was wounded on a hunt today and none of the pups are being very clear about exactly what happened. They did manage to bring home their prey, a beaver, but it gives us little hints about how exactly Khushi was hurt. It certainly doesn't look like a bite. Judging from their attitudes it seems to have involved Reva. We can only hope they are not fighting among each other, especially after the loss of Miki and Myrkur. Ákiljöf is preparing to set out to the Hollow--no doubt he's kicking himself for not going when I was wounded--and Ákveðni is providing Khushi with some clear boundaries regarding resting and not going out to hunt more.

I feel for her--she's upset about missing out on the experience and her litter mates are to eager to stay behind with her. She'll lose her position as lead chaser for certain. I imagine that hurts as much as the wound does. We're all worried for her though; I may have recovered quickly from my injury but wounds can be life-threatening if they do not heal quickly on their own.

Mid-Autumn, Year 10

Year 3 of Ákiljöf's Reign

Khushi has recovered from her wound and I believe everyone is breathing a sigh of relief. Ákiljöf is not back yet and with the way Khushi was throwing herself into the hunts, despite Ákveðni's efforts, we wondered whether he would be too late. By some miracle Khushi's youthful quick healing seems to be what saved her, and now that the wound is healed up a bit more we can see how close she came to losing one or both of her eyes. This news appears to have spooked Khushi as well--maybe she herself didn't realize how bad it was. She requested a transfer to her aunt's hunting team but wouldn't tell me why. I suspect it has something to do with the bickering that continues between her and Reva but until I have the full story, or at the very least, her reason, I've denied her request. She simply does more good on a team with her litter mates than I believe she would do with her aunts who, thanks to the pups' enthusiasm, don't get out to hunt that much anyway.
