another chapter begins

Well, it looked like Fireside was coming to a close. What a great long series that was! It had been a wild ride, but Ares wasn't quite ready to call it quits. He had hoped someone would step up to keep the fire going, but nobody did. He didn't really have an interest in leading a pack, and even if he had taken up leading Fireside, he didn't feel like he'd be able to do a good a job as those in the past had. Nah, leadership wasn't for him. Second in command maybe, but even that was a long shot. He enjoyed being able to do what he wanted and boss around the lower ranks, sure. But he was always somewhat content in his role in the world, whatever that was.

So when dear cousin(?) sparrow came and called, Ares headed to meet her to see what was up. He was aware of her pirate-style pack, and quite frankly, it sounded like fun. Maybe if Fireside really was going down, he could just move on over to a new chapter and a pirates life.
