toc =Blackriver= Blackriver is the most beautiful creature on earth. Even more beautiful than Misty, or Black, or Muntjack.


 * Important directives from Blackriver:**

//' [You are] not a Silver Fang, but you have the blood of Silver Fangs in you, and can be one if the spirits let you. (9-2-06)//

//"Only some Garou stayed pure and the same and remembered how all things were in the beginning. Because they remembered, they lead the other tribes and soon took a name of their own: the Silver Fangs. Because we are pure like silver. That's us."(9-2-06)//

//"You are a Gibbous moon, you must remember everything."(9-2-06)//

//"we are the first tribe. We are the leaders of the Garou, the ones the others look towards to guide them. We must always try to be pure and honorable in heart, mind and action. It is what Falcon and our ancestors demand."(9-3-06)//

//"There is nothing to do but to try, harder and harder and as many ways as you can. She pauses for a moment. We are dying. She continues. The Garou, the Silver Fangs. Other tribes laugh at us, the Shadow Lords mock our ways because they think it is easy to lead, that is it a boon to lead. The Weaver chokes the world and the Wyrm devours it because the other tribes fight with each other too much, and do not listen to us. But we must push forward, there is no other way but to die."(9-8-06)//

//"when you talk, do not whimper so much. You are a Silver Fang, you should be submissive but sure. A pause, and the she tries to justify that: I have seen others fail because they would not believe they could succeed. But not you. You will be called Always-Walks-Ahead."(9-8-06)//

//"First of the Kill to the Greatest in Station"(9-11-06)//

//"~I do not lie.~ She replies in an icy tone, lips curling back into a snarl. ~I am a good Philodox. I. Do. Not. Lie.~"(9-16-06)//

// ~Falcon will not decide when your rite comes. I will decide when you are ready to be tested. Then I will do a rite to call to falcon and have him watch and judge you. I will start you on your rite, and Falcon will decide if you finish a Silver Fang.~(9-16-06)//

//"When we were first bound together as a tribe, the world we knew was small. But we soon discovered it was large, and filled with Wyrm. We had to spread out to help the other tribes, and spread so thin many forgot about us, as we were not there to always watch them. It is true that some of us have been bad leaders, changed from when Falcon accepted them into the tribe, but they are few. The other tribes are jealous of us and prideful, mostly."//(9-20-06)

//"The end times are coming, and it will be the greatest test of the Garou - and our tribe - yet. But with Falcon's will we will prevail. But the other tribes forget that Gaia made us the leading tribe. They think they can lead better. They are wrong, they are stupid, so we must fight to prove them wrong and show them that Gaia made us the leading tribe, because they were stupid and forgot."//(9-20-06)

//'Learn Much about the other tribes, so you can lead them better' 9-25-06//

//"It is not something you understand by thinking about. You must keep living and learning. See the world of the spirits, learn the stories of our tribe, and feel the blood and voices of our ancestors in you. Then, after a long time, you will understand. Maybe. But it is not something you think. It is something you are. It is something you feel."//(9-26-06) //~ Glory is fighting the Wyrm, but not just that, it is strength, it is eagerness, it is getting things done. It is fighting, but it is fighting the right things, for the right reasons. It goes: I shall be valorous. I shall be dependable. I shall protect the weak. I shall slay the Wyrm.~//(10-1-06)

//~We have spoken of Honor before, and how our tribe holds it most high. Honor is being trustworthy, someone others can follow. Honor is doing the right thing even if it is bad for you. It is going ahead even when the path is not clear. It goes: I shall be respectful. I shall be loyal. I shall be just. I shall live by my word. I shall accept all fair challenges.~// (10-1-06)

//"Wisdom is knowing things, but more importantly knowing how to use the things one knows. To respect ones elders, to keep us from simply charging into the Wyrm and dyeing trying to fight it. It goes: I shall be calm. I shall be prudent. I shell be temperate. I shall be merciful. I shall think before I act and listen before I think.~ (10-1-06)// =Cole= //"Don't remember word for word, alright? I'm pleased you realize how important it is...but to only remember things exactly as you’re told stifle stories. A little variation is what gives things spice, and keeps them from getting stale." 9-3-06//

//"As for being a Galliard? It means that I'm -that we- are the past in a very literal sense. We hold the tales of great warriors, sages, mystics and fools. We make sure stories aren't forgotten. You've heard the saying 'Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it', right?"(9-3-06)//

//"Learn from us all, because the best leaders -listen- to those they lead. That's the one thing I'd ask of you if you get to a point where you lead. Just listen before you make decisions. Blackriver does, and I've never been closer to a pack because of it."(9-3-06)//

//"don't let your family go. Tribe, pack, whatever. You make sure you're there for them, and protect them however you can,"(9-16-06)//

=Dillen= //"The wyrm takes no prisoners. It can get to you too." Dillen says as he looks right into the cubs eyes. "I won't shit you. This is a rough world..."//(9-21-06)

=Cedric= //"The First Tribe cannot defeat the Wyrm by itself. But with the others at our shoulders, then we will. he turns to Walks-Ahead. And even the youngest garou will play their part in its defeat."(9-23-06)//

//All we have is guesswork and old stories. The stories are passed down over generations, and every time they're altered a little, until you end up like the guy in the story with his grandfather's axe -- it's had two new heads and three new handles but it's still his grandfather's axe. And that's why galliards need to tell stories carefully. The more we change, the more we get away from the truth."//(9-25-06)

// "As a Silver Fang, your regard for truth must be higher than any others'. But also, you must know when to lie -- sometimes we must -- and be prepared to do it well and convincingly."//(9-25-06)

=Erika= //" My father taught me when I was barely five years old how to fire a gun to kill a deer, or put down an old horse. That buck and that old mare, they didn't do anything wrong. People were hunting them and that's just the way of things. And when Pete Jervis died driving drunk, that's just the way of things too. Alchohol was hunting him and it caught up to him and killed him."//(9-3-06)

//"I know how to take down a buck from a hundred yards. There's this spot on his chest right in front of his arm muscles and if you adjust for the wind and have a clean bore, you can take him clean through the heart, and that's gentle. When I screw up, I have a chase on my hands, and I sometimes have to track the poor thing for five or six hours before I finish it off. "//(9-3-06)

//"Well, I may be a tomboy but I'm not a dyke. No offense to those who are. Second of all, I can't dance...I think I intimidate most of them. Sandra says it's cuz I never had any good woman role models, and by God she sure doesn't fit the bill. From what I remember of my mom, she was tough as nails anyways. Besides, weren't none of the boys at my school as who I'd give a second glance to."//(9-21-06)

//"one cannot do everything. One just has to try, and try ones best, and do the most important things first. You cannot do it all on your own, and you do not have to. Others have their duty, let us do our appointed task, however small. Someday I too will know what my small task will be. And if a small person should fall doing their small duty, for us there is still full honor."//(9-25-06)

//"Blackriver, you have been patient with me, but everything since leaving my father and following you into the forest has been very, very strange. Many nights when sleep does not come, one lays awake and ponders what it is to be Garou. It still seems very new. Sometimes, when the only thing out here is the stars, one spends hours and hours just shifting back and forth, wolf and human, trying to believe it is not a dream. One remembers everything Blackriver says about the spirits, even though one does not understand, and after going to the caern one knows that there are many mysterious things and understanding comes slowly. My human family made decisions because we had to eat, or because we had to stay warm, or because other men would come and take our horses away if we did not work hard. Being chosen to be leader because one belongs to the tribe of a Falcon-Spirit still seems strange. Very, very strange."//(9-26-06)
