It had been about a week, perhaps a week and a half since the maiming challenge had taken place in his Kingdom. He had been working with the healers and his Queen to speed up the process of healing, but of course nothing could be rushed. His body was helping in the healing process, and even though things were going slow, they were progressing. The scabbing along his spine and cheek were going good, from what he'd been told, which had to be a good sign. Taurig wasn't about to give up that easily. Just because he was blind and couldn't procreate didn't mean that he had throw in the towel and give up just like that. Isardis wanted to make him suffer, to make him miserable for the rest of his life. But he had failed. Sure, life wouldn't be nearly as easy as it was before with his sight lost, but that didn't mean that he couldn't adjust. Warriors were resilient and the cobalt Re was no different. He would move forward with this new adjustment. He would work with it, master it and overcome it; just to show the pale bastard that he hadn't won. Only a few members were aware of the events that had transpired the day of the maim, but not all where aware of how it actually came to be. And the Re thought it fair that he share it with his packmates; they had a right to know why he was the way he was now. And there were a few other things he wanted to discuss as well; like taking Maija as his mate and possibly moving Tortuga. Maija had been there for him since he had basically set up his own Tortuga. And though she had been quiet and rather distant in the beginning, he had quickly found himself warming up to her and it seemed that the feeling was mutual. And she was here now, helping him cope with the curve ball life had thrown at him and he couldn't be more grateful to her. Plus, she was going to be the mother to his last litter ever. How did that not merit making her his wife? But with the coming of children came the consideration of their current living situation. They were sitting on a volcano that one day could decide to become active once again and he didn't want his family to suffer through that. With his luck, it was bound to happen. Not only that, but there was now the threat from Glaciem. He had no doubt that Isardis would try to ally with other packs and maybe one day he would decide to come and try to rip Tortuga down. Taurig couldn't have that. He wouldn't let his pack suffer that fate if he could help it. And it would be with these thoughts in mind that the titan would awake from his peaceful slumber beside his Queen, crown raising to bump against her muzzle gently, tongue swiping across her nose. Time to wake my treasure. We have important matters to discuss with our pack. He would croon softly at her, lifting himself up to stretch, waiting for the familiar brush of her fur before he began to walk outside, always mindful of the entrance. The titan would take in a huge gulp of air, allowing his darker and larger mass to press against Maija's for reassurance before he would begin moving off away from his den, intent on heading to the clearing he had first used for his very first meeting. It was only when he arrived, the familiar scents of his pack swirling around him, his Queen seated beside him that the Re would allow his scarred muzzle to tip backwards, baritones rising up from his vocals to summon his people to him. His call would ring out powerfully, even as he allowed his skull to return back to its normal position, torn ears attentive as he waited for the first of his packmates to arrive. Talk like this |
