Fool's Gold Chasm yeah i would kill for you, that's right

Backdated to 3/20, Woya is howling to announce that she has stepped up to co-lead alongside @Adelard (also info about Walrus being kicked). It's not required to reply to this, but everyone is certainly welcome!
@Rhaegara @Enera @Marrah @Caelyn

Woya stood outside of the Chasm's stone shelter, and took a breath. Yesterday had been a mess, that fire-eyed loner unexpectedly returning only to attempt to wreak havoc before they'd chased her out. She was still sore from her scrap with the woman, but felt energized nonetheless. The damage had already been repaired, virtually erased by their combined efforts. With two at the helm, even assholes like Walrus wouldn't be able to stop the pack from thriving.

For her and Rhaegara's children, both already born and soon to enter the world, it was time they started moving forward once again.

She raised her muzzle to the twilight sky and called out to the others, communicating a message that twisted gracefully through the air. The Chasm had returned to a two-leader hierarchy, where she stood at Adelard's side as his equal.

Marrah's only post, please skip her going forward!

I’m Done Putting Out The Fires You Start

The girl had become more reserved than ever since her mother had taken off to continue searching for her brother. Not even her sister-friend Enera (who as far as Marrah knew was indeed her sister) could get her out of her funk. The dark chubby teen was isolating herself from everyone and when spoken to was giving as few word answers as was possible to get them to leave her alone.

When Auntie Woya’s song went through the air and her message was loud and clear, she was stepping up next to Adelard, Marrah stared up towards the sky. For a long time after the voice faded the girl continued to look unblinkingly, then a single tear slid down her cheek. The Maceio-Tainn knew her mother had never really been the leader, but her aunt stepping up felt like, well, it felt like the pack moving on.

Marrah wasn’t ready for this. She covered her eyes with her paws and stifled a sob, she wanted to be alone.

When The Cranberry Vodkas Hit A Little Too Hard

Leviticus was in the infirmary, storing away some of his latest gains from foraging. Each time he went out, he was able to find more and more verdant life. It was his hope that they were looking forward to a strong spring that gave way to a plentiful summer. Still, he wasn't sure he felt optimistic quite yet. It seemed like with every gain, another of his pack mates were taking a loss simultaneously.

His ears picked up as Woya's call entered them, a surprise that left him focusing fully on how exactly he felt. Was this good, should he be nervous? Levi pulled himself out of the earth-bound den and listened for @Adelard. Hearing no dissent or challenge from the reigning king, he could only assume that this was what his friend wanted. That left the tawny healer with only one truly viable option; he would give the Macieo woman a chance, because he trusted the other man's judgment.

Levi tipped back his head and sent out his own howl, acknowledging and congratulating the spritely woman's ascension.

This will probably be Enera's only post unless there's further interaction from the others.

had a dream so big and loud

JUMPED SO HIGH I TOUCHED THE CLOUDS

Enera hadn't ever really paid much attention to the pack hierarchy; she just knew that Ad led them and Marrah's mama was next, until Huddy returned. The young Rayvne girl was slowly growing more certain her friend's dad would never come back, and with how long Saga had been gone she wondered if she wouldn't either. It made her worry all the more for Aweho, who was so young when he vanished. Still, when Woya's announcement met her ears they pricked with interest. She was leader now too? Things were already so strange right now; what did this mean for the rest of them? She'd been the Scary Lady for most of Enera's puppyhood, though as she got older the woman seemed to grow kinder. More accepting? Either way, she wasn't nearly as scary. Maybe that's because Enera was growing larger, too.

Hearing Levi's return howl, Enera herself tilted her head back and gave her own short howl of congratulations. She wondered how her mama felt about this.

She was answered only by Leviticus and Enera, their reciprocating howls parting the silence briefly before allowing it to reign once more. Her ears pressed forward, waiting for @Rhaegara, but neither her voice nor her presence came. Woya frowned, sighed, and ceased waiting. She turned and left to find @Adelard, repeatedly telling herself that at least no one had argued the claim. Still, so much about it just felt... hollow without the hearty approval of her family and friend.
