Earthlight (Moonbell Pack)

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────

❝Ah, look at them all. Simple creatures relying on emotions and their needs for survival. Unaware of their surroundings, unaware of the roots beneath the ground. I am similar to them, but not entirely.❞

Opinions/Relations ───────────────────────────────

Rhysand

She is an... interesting subject. Like a fire, if she isn't given fuel she will quickly burn out. But it isn't her tongue that unnerves me, since any ryrick can be disciplined with harshness, it's the way she seems to pick up on my very feelings. I can only hope it was a coincidence, a lucky guess, or she could become a larger threat than I thought. Hopefully becoming an instructor will distract the ryrick, or I might have to resort to less-than-favorable actions.

Cai

We seem to be able to form a symbiotic relationship, although I doubt they respect me all the much. However, I seem to hold a motivator for them. Water, that is. If they are clueless about their own hydrokenesis, I could readily take advantage of this power dynamic. I'm not sure when it will come in handy, however.

Hopper

He's a good lad, I'll give him that. I do find his distractable nature to be unpleasant, but it is a better alternative to being overly observant. As long as he stays off in his own little flower world, I have nothing to worry about. However, I am concerned that they won't get their job done. I didn't lose one of my tails just to have ryricks slacking off.

Mabuz

I don't know how to feel about him. He doesn't seem argumentative or unwilling to take orders, which is a good thing. Just the... snakes on his tails freak me out. I don't like them. But I am fond of his work ethic, so I am willing to put away my traumatic bias.

Thunder

I haven't seen any of my family in a while. I wasn't even aware if she was alive or not until now. Whatever it takes, I'm going to keep her safe. Both from the pack, the world and me. I can't lose the last bit of family I have. And I know it is awfully inconvenient that I must depart right after our reunion. But right now... my research is going to take precedence. I just won't tell her that.

History ───────────────────────────────

11 Months (January)

Earthlight met Hopper on January 2nd when he wandered into the Alpha's new pack. They seemed to get along decently, and the two-tailed ryrick learned about his comrade's love of flowers. Eventually Earthlight offered to let Hopper join Moonbell Pack, and the stormy ryrick agreed to become a merchant. Earthlight then taught him to climb a water bridge and the two got ready for bed. Before sleeping, the Alpha assigned Hopper to find a dispersal to sell his wares to.

The next day a wicked blizzard raged through Region A, but Earthlight recklessly went out to find fallen ryricks. They met Cai, who was exhausting their air bubble. The merle ryrick lead him to Shadow Cavern and they fought off some duck serpents. It was presumed that Cai ended up joining the pack, although it was out of roleplay.

Earthlight stumbled on Rhysand, who had heard of his new pack. Her distasteful mood caught him at guard, but he soon learned to deal with it. The two journeyed to Shadow Cavern to talk and also fought off more duck serpents. At this point, Earthlight realized Rhysand was a good fighter. But she was not good at following orders, as she killed one of the serpents against Earthlight's command. He had a small breakdown over the ecosystem before getting bit on the snoot by a gloweel. This amused Rhysand and she ended up joining the pack as a falconer and soldier.

Earthlight met Mabuz by Talem's Statue and was immediately irritated by his snake tails. The hissing sound reminded him of the time they were attacked as a pupin. However, they managed to bring Mabuz to Shadow Cavern and give them some orders. They told Mabuz to go on a journey with Rhysand to find wendimers. They would be needed for creating more dens in the canyon walls.

The Alpha soon got sick from being out in the cold and got a mild case of hypothermia and frostbite. Once they had collected enough pack members, they retired to their den for almost a full week to recover. In this time, they were quite snappy but met Jendi after finding an amethyst in a brook. They weren't too fond of Jendi but let them join as a rookie, since they were kind of young to be out on their own. The frostbite ended up causing them to lose one of their tails, which weakens their balance, strength and hydrokensis. They found themselves kind of cranky but eventually found the strength to get up and resume Alpha duties.

Earthlight conducted a pack meeting, where he conversed with many of his pack members and reunited with his long lost sister. They announced Mabuz and Thunder as temporary proxies, since they would be going on a mission that would last for awhile. They also assigned Rhysand to be Jendi's instructor, which is mostly because Earthlight could sense Jendi's sass and wanted an instructor that would keep their tongue in check. They also met Saxifrax, a deaf glacier ryrick, and tried to develop a way to speak with them. Finally they met Baie, who kind of disturbed them but for the most part they have a neutral opinion on her. Saxifrax chose to become a caretaker and Cai accepted Earthlight's offer to build him a lake.

The Alpha then began to set off on the mission before saying goodbye to their proxies. The mission was comprised of Earthlight, Rhysand, Jendi, Castor and Raphael.
