Important milestone for Pilot! Considering your schedule, short posts are fine. Warily Phoenix stood at the edge of the avalanche, close to where his daughter had been pulled from the snow. She would most likely have died if the entire pack hadn’t mobilized to her rescue. For that, the alpha was grateful. But it also put some things into perspective for him. While this tragedy had brought the entire pack together and shown him that he could be a decent leader when not plagued by his own self-doubts, he still didn’t believe he could do this alone. He had asked Phasma to be his Gamma and help him get adjusted to the job, but instead she’d gone behind his back and refused to support him. Pilot though… Pilot was a good wolf at heart. He had minimal leadership experience, but Phoenix had even less when Gibraltar had promoted him to that rank. The wolf raised by squirrels had already helped him out once or twice in an authoritative nature. More importantly, though, he had a good heart and cared about Storm and the wolves who composed it. An idea had formed in Phoenix’s head some weeks ago, and the event of the avalanche had finally cemented it into place. Wanting to speak to Pilot but being unable to find him, Phoenix had instructed Moon or Deirdre (whoever found him first) to tell Pilot to meet him here. He didn’t know when Pilot would show up but the peace and quiet was a nice change from the norm. Fully shifted, Phoenix crossed his arms and took another look at the tattoo that now adorned his arm since last month: Storm’s symbol, a stylized lightning bolt. It was a symbol of pride for his pack, and love for each and every member within. He wanted to do what was best for his family, and he truly believed this was it. |
