⁺⭒°⸼ ⸢ I did it! I cleaned off my desk, it's been  a year and a half since I could sit down here and work on things! I'm so happy. My table is still a grody storm, but I'm not doing anything tomorrow, so I'll clean it then.

I had a glimpse of my adult life. I lived with my human mate, something that aligns with this reality almost perfectly - I lived closer to the park that, in my correct reality, the pack I was close with lived in. It was much bigger (which is saying a lot, because this life's park is basically like a foot highway through town) and very overgrown in places, the overgrowth nurtured by other mythicals to keep it a safe place for animals and shifters. A lot of the offtrail areas were almost impassable to humans.

I spent a lot of time as a human with my human friends during the day, but at night (and during the day sometimes too) I would go do wolf things sometimes, but other times, I would visit and guide young shifters or witches. A few others did the same thing, very begrudgingly, because they didn't like kids and most of the ones we were guiding were from 8 to 12. I liked kids, though, so I kinda felt like a camp counselor guiding the young shifters in the pack, and most of them decided I was their guide instead of the others because I wasn't a grumpy butt about having to teach a bunch of 10 year olds how to wolf! I wasn't really an official pack member, more a friend of the pack, so I had a lot of time on my hands to guide, gather and explore. As a result, I ended up guiding more than just little shifters - I remember one girl in particular. I don't remember her name, but I think it might have been something like Ariel or Ariana? She was one of those "horse girls", she tracked me down after seeing me and following me one night. I think she was 9 or 10. She was a human, but deeply interested in magic and the supernatural, so I taught her some of the things I knew and showed her some of my life as a wolf. She was very good with magic, so good that she was able to use concealment magic to help keep me and others safe from hunters on the rare occasion than she caught wind of suspicious activity. I can't remember when i met her... I might have been around 16-18? I think I was still in high school.

 I've learned that I can get into the wolf mindset by playing world or warcraft, So now that I have a tidy desk space, I think I'll do that now! Faolan, signing off!⸥⭒⸼⁺⭑
