March 19, 2024 A momentary lull has overtaken the lands of Amaryllis as its inhabitants attempt to find their footing and rebuild after a string of challenges. How long it will last, however, nobody can be quite sure.

February 11, 2024 The Mire has fallen from the Stärke family and is now held by Luther Rike. The change has stirred but the fighting nature of those on the island. The Brook finds a new leader with Icefang and Isla takes over the Lagoon after a storm pushes out the old leader. Reti finds himself the leader of the Hollows after Alexander is hurt. The Oasis finds a new leader in Léonie who is soon tested by Harou.

January 8, 2024 The snow has finally begun to melt anew, which means that the world is slowly returning to the much-anticipated summer season. With the various holiday activities and the other jests put on by Nafasi also coming to a close, it is safe to say that winter is finally over.

December 5th, 2023 Nafasi had pulled a cruel trick and has sent Amaryllis back into a renewed winter season! But it's not all bad, because the lands will also see a handful of holiday-themed events popping up as a result. To make things more interesting, a wayward trio of travlers have also arrived and are facilitating a mass competition between the prides, bands, and rogues -- formally dubbed the Amaryllis Winter Games.

December 2nd, 2023 The spring air brings forth a number of pride challenges. A familiar challenger for the Cove and the Oasis arrive to try to earn what they want. The new leader of the Lagoon is tested in battle as well. What changes will come from the challenges? Who will remain standing and who will find their world turned upside down?

November 27th, 2023 In a challenge between mother and daughter, the leadership of Wolfbron Bluff changes for the first time in 5 IC years.

November 22nd, 2023 Two death matches, one resurrection, and an almost-war later, the lands find themselves in a constant state of turmoil and calamity. Families have been torn apart and endless blood has been spilt; but how is it all going to end?

November 3rd, 2023 The lands stir violently as a death match rages on between Aeistrios Saxe and Morrigan Greyflood. Observers spill into the pit in droves to witness what will no doubt be a historic battle -- and it is clear that this familial fued is far from over, no matter who wins and who dies.

October 12th, 2023 With winter comes the surge of more pride challenges; Ludivine challenges Ryker for Firnen Rainforest and is victorious in her endeavors, meanwhile an outcropping of maims breaks out on the sidelines. In a shocking turn of events Luther returns to challenge Bruno for Ecrosia Mire, will the former heir prove victorious or has Bruno got what it takes to keep his brother's ambitions at bay? This has undoubtedly shaken things up as Bruno declares war against Andal Oasis and Allies in the process!

September 26th, 2023 A series of pride challenges spark up across the peninsula, while warring families face-off as tensions reach their boiling points. Anthonius Savante barely manages to escape the clutches of Apollinaire Dieudonne with his life, while death looms over the broken truce between the Valour-Greyflood and Saxe families.

September 4th, 2023 After Tinúviel collapsed at the Wolfbron Bluff's challenge, she was unable to make it back to the Lagoon to take up her leadership position again and the pride disbands. Diomedeidae & Cirilla fight for the pride.

August 28th, 2023 Both Amara and Morrigan keep their prides. Lachesis doesn't show to defend the Brook and Renfri takes over. The Wolfbron Bluffs challenge seems to be setting off fireworks already.

August 15th, 2023 The two longest standing female leaders are both fighting for their prides once again. Anthonius challenges Amara for the Bluffs. Amaroq challenges Morrigan for the Summit. A new leader faces his first challenge as Renfri challenges Lachesis for the Brook. Did anyone think that peace was something the island was able to have?

August 1st, 2023 Conflict, drama, love, and loss - the lands are never free from any of it for more than a fleeting moment. As the summer months wane on and the season nears its end, there is no telling what is coming next upon the horizon.

June 19th, 2023 With the rains leaving and spring upon the island, things are heating up among the lions. Bruno seeks to unseat his father in the Mire. Helah looks to dethrone Scorpius in the Oasis and keep the fire between the Bluffs and the Oasis alive. The Plains have raided the Brook and allies on both sides showed up to help.

May 23rd, 2023 All is fair in love and war - moments of chaos and peace lull in a cyclical nature across the lands of Amaryllis, though most are wise enough to know that the quiet never lasts quite long enough.

April 20th, 2023 Alexander manages to win the Hollows and Tiamat keeps the Lagoon. Vághan challenges Amara for the Bluffs but Amara is able to hold off another challenger and keeps the Bluffs. The Cove was hit by a storm that washed away it's leader leaving the lands open to be claimed by Nephthys and Keligan who both are attached to the land. Cirilla attempts to take the Oasis from Scorpius who seems driven to keep the land.

April 5th, 2023 It doesn't take long for the dust to kick up as the Hollows is challenged for by Alexander once again and the Lagoon is challenged for by Fernweh.

March 31st, 2023 As wars and challenges continue to break out across the lands, Amaryllis is certainly keeping up with its turbulent reputation. One can only hope that the dust will settle soon enough - for everyone's sake.

March 10th, 2023 The turbulance of the prides never ceases for very long, as a violent landslide forces the members of Firnen Rainforest to evacuate and disband. Who will step up for the throne this time around?

March 1st, 2023 While Gauthier manages to retain control of Caladan Cove, Lorien Plains' fate is not so simple. With Aeistrios overthrowing Violarum and taking the pride's throne, how will things unravel from here?

The coldest part of winter is now afoot, with heavy snowfall spreading across the north and crisp winds overtaking the majority of the lands.

IT'S NOT WHO I AM UNDERNEATH

His assailant finally fell between the combined attacks of Dero and his son, and thankfully, the strange woman decided to leave immediately which left less opportunity for the Hodari's mind to pursue the fight further. His pulse still hammered in his brain while his senses kicked into overdrive. The world was growing fuzzy at the edges, darker even, once his opponent had left his sight. @Reti ♔, though, now stood opposite the dark knight, their mutual target now gone. It was the sight of his swirled son that helped anchor Dero to the present. The mental fogginess started to thin as the events of what had taken place around him slowly started to settle in. "Reti?" the father barely whispered the question to himself as things started to shift before his very eyes. Yes, this was a jungle, but it was not his jungle. The scents here, overpowered by the scent of blood at the moment, were not the scents of his home. Something had happened, but it was not the invasion from before.

The realization that so much had been a mirage in his mind caused the adrenaline to quickly fade from the man's veins. Dero stood in a near daze for a moment, claws gripping desperately at the blood soaked earth beneath him, seemingly the only thing to keep him standing in one spot. Worry and panic swiftly filled his head, barely remembered what had just happened, who he had been fighting at all before his head finally turned to find the bronze form of his wife. @Hanneth was still here. She was all he could focus on while Dero took very difficult and shaky steps towards her. "Hanneth," the dark man's voice was low and hollow in calling for her. With @Copree and Reti to either side of the healer, her husband would simply approach from behind, for the moment shielded from seeing the state of his other sons while the scarred lion's head hung low. "I... What.... What happened?" Dero was visibly shaking as he looked to his wife for an answer; something, anything, that would explain this lapse in his memory.

As the battle raged on, he shifted, weaving through the trees and lingering spectators. There were other fights continuing around him, but most were ignored in favor of waiting for the outcome of the one he'd been more responsible for. The longer he watched, the less likely it seemed she would win, but that wasn't really the point of all this. He'd meant to incite a little extra violence, and he'd done that. Quite successfully.

He kept himself out of her direct line of sight, and slipped into the shadows when it seemed the final blow was ready to fall. Could he have jumped in and assisted? Sure. But this was slightly more fun at the moment. If they met again, he could easily create an excuse as to why he'd failed to jump in. For now, he watched her go, and would leave in the opposite direction.

Limbs firmly planted and breaths remain rhythmic and steady, slow inhalations and exhalations as she watched both Reti and Dero's fight as well as Roan's battle carefully. Copree stood a bastion amidst the chaos, purposely aiming to provide stability and some semblance of security for Hanneth.

Roan's combat resolved and the lion moved towards Hanneth, inquiring about Furia. Copree hoped that having one of the two battles ending well would soothe a portion of Hanneth's stress, although with the second battle still ongoing she knew better than to think the bronze healer would calm entirely.

Flame hued eyes flicked upwards as the pink lion, apparently now finished tearing into one family member...now sought to rend the flesh of another. Affronted fury flared as the beast barreled in to attack the already worn out Roan. Bastard.

Swiftly Copree sidestepped a couple paces as Hanneth screamed and pressed into her in order to try and avoid the erupting violence. -Copree- the whisper barely registered in her flattened ears above the violence, but register it did. "It will be alright." it would. Things might not be 'ok' at the moment, but it would be alright. As long as the battles did not end in death things could be mended, wounds heal, the scales of karma balanced.

Carefully she tried to steer Hanneth away a short distance, not too far, she knew there was no way the bronze feline would be alright with departing as long as any family was still in combat. Hellfire glaze flicked over as the chaos Reti was involved with came to a resolution, the two males still standing strong as the female brute slunk away.

"Reti." She snapped loudly, not a command by any means but certainly a call for attention. A certain... request...unspoken in the single word as Copree lightly gestured towards @Hanneth with her crown as soon as Reti's mismatched gaze lifted her direction and the lion headed off

Copree glanced at the furious crescendo of combat between Roan and the pink lion as things start to wind down, and to an experienced eye it did not look great for the Hodari as Roan broke away and started to head over. "Hanneth, head back to the Mire with Reti, Dero and Roan ok? I will be not far behind. It will be alright. I will be alright."

Go on home. Don't look back. Her voice was calm, certain...even as fury burned in hellfire eyes and the blood in her body screamed for violence and release. But she didn't want Hanneth to see what was about to happen. Copree wanted her safe and far from here.

Leaving Haneth to the safety of Reti and the little group to hopefully start heading home...Copree would swiftly approach the pink brute, her defenses lifting and settling into practiced place. Did he think he could attack and maim not one, but two members of the family and have it be done with and over? No. No. She was Shakti. She was Dieudonne. She was Celestine. And none of those lines settled well with harm to family.

Copree would -attempt- to approach Zoticus's right side from slightly behind and at slight angle. As she tried to approach her target and shortly before she hoped to make impact Copree rolled her left shoulder forward slightly and led with it a bit, Copree -attempted- to slam and drive the forward portion of her left shoulder up into Zoticus's right flank directly behind where the ribs terminated and the flesh of the side began.

Copree was -attempting- to aim to drive her shoulder, backed by her large statured bulk, to into the lions flank and forwards into the last rib. Her jaws would open and -attempt- slice across the flesh riding atop the right side of his ribs up near his back, not aiming for a hold but -trying- to quickly scissor into and across fur, fat, and flesh.

For the moment all four paws remained grounded, claws extended to grip the earth and for balance. Her ears were slicked flat, eyes narrowed in deadly fury and the short main along her nape stood stiffly as a silent violent flag. Her tail was tucked, lips lifted in a silent snarl as she employed fang and whole form to display her .... displeasure...at the actions which had been taken. And the distress it had caused Hanneth.

[OOC: I thought I had exited this aaaaaaaaaages ago. Whups.]

She watched the carnage, the lives irrevocably changed, as well as the lands of Amaryllis itself. The ebony lady noted when @Keir stepped away to help the Vermedans with their fallen friend, and she noted when the other Caladan yearlings were told to listen to her. She would chuff, the sound soft before she would try to herd said yearlings and children back to the Cove.

They were no longer needed here - this wasn't a place for them.. and though she longed to leap into the fighting, now was certainly not the time. "Let's get back home." Her tones were soft as she spoke to those that remained, making her way away from the rainforest to the south.

Flesh was torn from his shoulder, but this time, Roan knew it was something more than just a simple bite. Zoticus had bitten down the muscle as pain seared in all directions from the injury. When they finally broke free of one another, a gaping wound bled profusely from the mauve lion's shoulder. His coat, already draped in the evidence of injuries from two fights now grew even darker in color, thick fur becoming matted as the blood seeped through. Roan staggered upon that limb, posture imbalanced as his weight crumpled onto his left side. The pink bastard had effectively maimed both of the mauve brothers. Yet, Roan could take away the knowledge that Zoticus seemed to be the only Wolfbron lion who was winning anything as the other fights came to an end around them.

Despite his own injuries, Roan was stubborn, not wanting to leave here until he knew every member of the Mire was leaving as well. Still, he'd head back towards @Hanneth once more, finding her with @Copree and @Reti ♔. His father, as well, came up behind the small group. At least his brother and father seemed to have won their fight, but Dero... something was not right about the man. Roan made his way slowly towards the group, his head hung a little lower than before. He'd catch Copree's look towards the swirled lion, though couldn't guess what the Shakti would next. Instead, all Roan could do was agree with her words, though he wasn't going anywhere just yet. "Hanneth, Copree is right. It will be alright. Go back with Reti and Dad. I'll stay and make sure everyone else leaves as well." Beneath his bloodied face, the step-son would do his best to offer a reassuring smile before turning his minty gaze towards his brother. "Reti, the Mire is north of here," he'd instruct, unsure if his brother had been to Ecrosia yet or not. "Get them back safe, yeah? I'll stay with---" Well, he was going to say Copree, but then the Shakti took off towards Zoticus. Fuck yeah! Get him, Copree! The thought instantly sprang to the masked lion's mind, but Roan didn't want to seem like he was encouraging more violence. "Copree." He'd finally finish the sentence after his gaze had followed the flame licked woman into her own battle. Maybe Zoticus wouldn't get so lucky after a third fight.

As their bodies twisted together and snarls were ripped through the air, Jafar was prepared to end this. As Maia's fight pulled to a close near him he knew he needed to end this and retreat. So Jafar made for his last move -- reaching for the nearest ear (your choice, Vasilia!) and aiming to take one last grab at it before he pulled away. A small remembrance of what war felt like as well as what it tasted like, caught up in the moment of adrenaline as he took what he felt was earned through the fight that they had done. No doubt he would leave with his own scars but this would be forever, just as he fought to protect those that he cared about. Even if @Zaynab had not quite asked for it, war was war -- so when he pulled back and held a piece of ear in his mouth, he swallowed. Chest heaving out and in, looking at her with a numb expression as the set wore down on him. In another world, she was a lioness worth knowing but right now she was only the enemy. So he slowly backed away from the Wolfbron Bluffs crowd without turning his back to them. Eyes occasionally looking to @Maia to make sure she was alright and not being blindsided.

There was a deep satisfaction for Zoticus as victory reigned upon him over @Roan . Jaws tore to his shoulder- ripping flesh and muscle, and causing permanent damage just as he had done to @Kiton . Savage as he was, the King was feeling the exhaustion from both fights- his body weakening from the loss of blood, and the pain catching up to him. He had little energy left, so when Roan pulled away, Zoticus stumbled to find his balance.

A glare was shot forth in his direction, but his focus didn't last long on the defeated male. Instead, he was pulled to focus on the sound of approaching paws. Able to turn himself in time to face the attacking lioness head on, Zoticus felt the impact of her attack to his chest. The king skidded back on the ground, feeling deep bruising flare across his body. Her jaws didn't reach his ribs, but rather his shoulder due to him facing her head on. Jaws would splay, finding the lioness rather disgusting- at least his fights with Roan and Kiton had been fair ones, both of them having already battled. This woman sought an easy win on a lion who already fought twice- Zoticus would find his revenge to her when he was healed properly.

Attempting to bite down by her neck, Zoticus would hope to cause damage to her frame- his back legs struggling to keep him standing with the force of her body against his own.

The large male responded to her approach and turned with, if she were to be honest, truly impressive speed and agility considering the situation. A fact which was noted and Copree would keep this factor in mind as combat between the pair began in earnest. Ears remained flat against her head, mane ruff lifted and bristling, lips lifted and eyes narrowed with an intense and cold focus.

Copree felt the forward portion of her left shoulder strike Zoticus's chest, the reverb causing light bruising across the striking portion of black lioness's left shoulder as consequence of recoil. Copree's neck scrunched a bit in response to the impact and shudder that passed down her frame, due to the impact and recoil Copree's body slid back a couple inches in the soft loamy soil before extended claws arresting further backwards motion. Her tail lashed briefly to help establish balance before seeking to tuck once more.

Seeking jaws did not find his back as intended due to the shifting of position but scored a blow to the larger brute's shoulder. Swiftly Copree's jaws would attempt to open once more as the seasoned fighter -attempted- to take a sidestep to her own left.

His teeth would slice across the forward top most portion of her right shoulder, slicing two moderately deep three and a half inch long twin gouges through the fur and deuce muscle tissue beneath.

Copree's head sought to turn a bit towards to her own right, parted jaws
-attempting- to find the flesh of the left side of her opponent's face. She would
-attempt- to sink her teeth into the flesh and fat of his left cheek. Top canines
-attempting- to drive down just beneath the left eye, lower canines -attempting- to scoop upwards and sandwich flesh between.

Copree's right front leg would -attempt- to lift, she would -attempt- to sink claws into the tissue of the male's left 'armpit' area, aiming to -attempt- to strike the lower portion of the seam where the left limb joined the torso, -attempting- to flex her toes inwards with claws fully extended. Her other three limbs would remain firmly planted, claws grasping the ground for traction and the best stability she could manage.

kiton hodari.

The frenzy of battle proved too much for Kiton to keep his senses in check. Bodies blurred past him, his members locked in their own battles as others wailed with grief over the assumed death of loved ones. It made him slower than he needed to be--slower than was required to win. He felt red hot magma against his shoulder when his enemy hit it, more than the usual sting of claws. Kiton cried out in agony as he felt something acutely wrong with the fibers of muscle there in the mound of his shoulderblade, knocking him out of the fight and marking his loss against Zoticus and against Wolfbron.
He stood there with shaky breaths, glaring through narrowed eyes at the blush-pink sovereign as he shouted his gloating words. Only a few moments passed before he flung himself upon another mire lion, first ripping past Roan and then launching himself at another of their members.
"Ecrosia, fall back!" He called out then, not wanting to risk anyone else getting caught in the fray when it seemed to be a battle against Zoticus alone. He flung accusations in the air that made no sense to Kiton--surely mere slander at such a public scene. He stood in a guardian's stance as Roan fought back against him and waited to observe what would become of his people before he dared leave himself.

Zoticus managed to feel his fangs slice into her shoulder, drawing blood forth from his new opponent. While he didn’t feel like he had the energy or health to win this fight- at least he would be able to try and wound the lioness in the process. She wouldn’t bring him down easily.

Her fangs sought his face and Zoticus managed to angle his head away just in time to feel her teeth slice along his cheek, up to his ear. Likewise, her claws sliced into his shoulder and Zoticus felt pain flare from where she obtained a grip. Growling, Zoticus attempted to lower his head to her raised forelimb at his shoulder and attempted to try and bite down on the appendage.
