October 11, 2024 Something is happening in the Scorched Wilds. There is a battle raging between a familiar force and an unfamiliar one. What will you do? Help or hinder?

October 1, 2024 Spooky things are happening as the afterlife start walking among the living once again.

September 30, 2024 Louve Dieudonné manages to keep Wolfbron Bluffs in the family. What will happen between the Bluffs and the otherwise peaceful pride of Lorien Plains?

September 20, 2024 Ilarion Rurik challenges for Wolfbron, will the Dieudonné lead pride fall?

September 8, 2024War broke out once again in the Lagoon when a wedding had some uninvited guest arrive. The war results in the most death matches the island has seen at once. The Summit was challenged by Brighid with Talisa answering the call. After many years of the Summit have the same two leaders, the Summit changes hands. What will this mean for the balance of Amaryllis? A witch hunt has started by Luther and Miaran which seems to be turning things on an island that is full of magic.

August 25, 2024 War broke out in the challenge for the Lagoon after Cassius tries to take the Lagoon from Isla. The Cove remains with Miaran. The leadership of the Mire switches from Sigrún hold to Rike when Luther comes back to take his birthland back. Elephants push into the Rainforest and push out the lions there. Soon after Lucifer lays claim to his birthland and takes over the Rainforest.

June 27, 2024 Conflict and tensions rise as prides come head-to-head with one another across Amaryllis - just as Pyrrha and Cassius take the leap to try and claim (or reclaim) their own thrones.

May 24, 2024 Rulers continue to shift, family strife ensues, and, per usual, tensions seems taunt and always lingering on the horizon.

April 24, 2024 Things are rocky within Amaryllis as the Dieudonne clash result in three deaths and forces a shift in the rulership of Firnen Rainforest. With Caladan Cove freshly overturned as well, what will the consequenecss of these events be?

March 30, 2024 The lull has ended as a long standing family, the Dieudonné, launch death matches against their own. The Plains sees a challenge from a new comer, Aphrodite, and the quite pride is pushed into the spotlight.

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!

Spring
The rain is slowly peetering out across the lands, though it is still heaviest in the east and lightest in the west. Thankfully, however, the temperature is steadly rising and the sun no longer hides behind the clouds. In celebration of the new season, the vegetation is alive and lush and plants are growing wildly across the valley. Spring is in the air!

Warmhearted Clear Night Dusk Winter

Something was happening. It started with one Brook lion racing past the border, and then another, until a steady stream of faces Aneistri had yet to memorize left the pride land toward the south. For a while, she stared on in confusion, uncertain what the fuss was about—but she couldn’t very well stay behind and miss out on something her pride deemed important.

The plum lioness followed the trails of those who had gone before her, racing further south than she was typically comfortable traveling, toward the very edge of the earth as she knew it—and then beyond that. Across a small land bridge that felt too slippery, too slim, with energetic water on either side just ready to sweep her away into deeper and darker depths.

Her relief upon reaching the island in one piece was short lived. The sounds of fights, numerous and growing, greeted her ears before she came within sight of the mess. She hadn’t the slightest idea what had brought it on (or the peaceful, joyous celebration it had been before this) and she could barely differentiate sides. Scents—so many scents—bombarded her nose, the vaguely familiar faces of her pride mates blending with those of so many more strangers.

Overwhelmed, she dug her claws into the sand and gritted her teeth, ears pinning as her tail lashed. She needed to do something. This wasn’t her fight, not personally, but she wanted to contribute and show her pride she was worth something.

But who was friend and who was foe?

( I haven't updated her dice, but Aneistri is open to things :') )

Khadija had rushed behind Miaran, whom she saw as a sister and would fight for no matter what. Leaving her cubs on someone's watch she went with all her medic equipment. Ready to asist her friend and anyone who might need her.

Sge arrived finding already quite the mess, sighing she wasn't able to locate her queen amongst the crowd. "Where is she?.." She asked herself as she looked around but also paying attention for anything, knowing anyone could go for her.

She sat down with her pouch firmly tied to her aide as paws rested with flexed toes ready for a fight.

Roaring. Snarling. The raging bellows of warriors calling for reinforcements. The commotion was nearly impossible to ignore, but while one might think someone like Genesis awould try to distance herself from it all, the girl was in fact running straight toward it...with the fear that her siblings might be caught up in the chaos. Exactly what she would accomplish when she arrived she had no clue; she could not fight--not well--and she had few resources at her disposal with which to patch anybody up. All she knew was that she needed to see for herself that danger was not the reason her kin had been eluding her.

The sight that greeted her was not one she was prepared to witness. Her breath hitched at the thick stench of blood, and her eyes widened at the sheer number of lions that were entangled with one another. Genesis did her best to scan for any familiar faces from the perimeter but very quickly realized this would not provide the best vantage point. After what felt like an eternity of silent negotiations with herself, the girl decided there was only one way forward: through.

With a grimace she wormed her way into the crowd, peeking through squinting lids in an attempt to spot a brother or sister without risking a claw or tooth to her eyes. At first she felt overwhelming relief that none of them had gotten pulled into this mess--ironic, given how she had condemned herself in the process of this discovery--but that relief was quickly soured by the sight of @Isildur among the sea of beasts. Suddenly, she found herself rushing toward him, calling out to him in a desperate attempt to grab his attention before his blood joined everybody else's on the ground.

"Isildur!" Her voice felt so meek compared to the sounds of battle, but she persisted nonetheless. "Isildur!" The skin of her cheeks paled, then, at the sight of another--a mere child--trying to catch up to him as well. If not for the fact that she was calling out for her brother, she might have stepped in to shield her eyes from the horrors around them. However, Genesis feared one simple misstep might land her among the wounded--when her goal now needed to be damage control. For Isildur, for the cub, and for whoever else here meant something to them.

More fights break out, but none of them close enough or his place to get in the way of. He wants to. Dragos strains against the invisible leash around his throat. The sound of battle fills his head, white-noise that drowns out everything else. He waits, and waits, looking for a place in the fight that fits him.

"An easy innocent."

The Savante’s head snaps to the side, and close by the cub is alone, unguarded - and a predator lurks nearby, already drooling.

Their chilling words cut the leash.

Dragos lurches forward, picking up speed as he moves, runs, trying to barrel between @Novana and her attacker before those teeth snap shut around her body. She’s just a child - a baby - and that white-noise turns red when he sees just how deadly that attack would have been for her.

No. Not again.

This isn’t a lion, no sane beast - this is a monster that needs to be put down. This is every cannibal, every Black, every villain that’s taken from him and his kin. Dragos attempts to clamp his open jaws around that extended neck and bite down, the full force of his moving body behind him. If they both go crashing to the ground, so be it. There’s no reasonable thought in his head, no logic, just a need to end. To kill.

Winter's encroach claimed cold buds at the roots of her whiskers. She inhaled then exhaled chiefly through her nostrils, all the better naught to disturb any crystal frost, though nothing burdened the weight of her whiskers. "Only cold," she grumble-sighed and flopped from one soft side onto her paws. Out of the stone den, sheltered from the wind and heights but nothing else. "Not cold enough." She traveled with one side smudged against the usual wall, all gait and manner associating this dawn with nothing unusual. "Just disappointment."

From far south, distinct from the gurgling of waves that never ceased (the waves she heard emanated from the sea to the north, though the southern sea claimed its identical twin), arrived with most blessed clarion call the summons for "AHH. WAR season!" with triumph she squeaked, drawn up chest high and poised like squawking squirrel.

Down the familiar paths from the Bluff she loped with the confidence of sight; outside, winding south, she traveled nose-to-ground and whiskers braced. Heart pounded heavy, fast; by the hour of arrival, multiple prides already flooding this theatre floor, her heart scooped shallow and with many flutters. Tail pointed high, she stalked through the chaos until fights thundered on all sides of her. "Enemies of Wolfbron Bluffs! Spill blood against me and gods bring rain to the victor!"

The Viper arrives and this time she is here to cause pain and render flesh asunder. So many targets, pickings for her to punish. Wondering how many of these were witches. Even if they weren't she was happy with violence and don't talk to her about attacking somone unprovoked. She lost morals long ago.

There amongst the clashing bodies she searched for any who she might could bring pain to.

Yet instead of simply announcing her wish she stood there wanting to pick wisely. To have an smart approach in this. Whoever crossed her line of fire was going to pay with. their blood.

Surprise flits to her expression as @Louve ♔ emerges from the line of palm trees and marches her way straight for them. Thus far, it is only their small company that has arrived, and the soldiers of Caladan collectively hold their breath as they await the command of their Queen. Just as she does now, her gaze intent upon the Dieudonné Matriarch as she halts just beside them.

Was she here to support them, she wonders? To aid in their cause? Would Avril get to witness the full might of Wolfbron's strength?

Surely this is a mistake?

She blinks, purses her lips.

Tell me you do not stand with the ones that berate and torture women?

Oh?

She exchanges a brief, curious glance with her aunt, but beyond the gentle raise of her brows nothing else would suggest Avril was shocked or bewildered at all. She needs not wait for an answer long, however, as @Miaran quickly justifies their course of action. A temporary alliance, choosing the lesser evil. It was simple, instinctual. It makes sense.

At least to Avril.

She opens her mouth to speak, but is quickly overcome by her own choked cry as she's suddenly shoved away from her Queen. She did not see @Khal coming from the throng of the crowd, and had been too distracted by Louve's sudden appearance to notice his ambush in enough time to defend herself. She takes the full brunt of his attack, staggering a few steps away from Miaran and clutching her bruised shoulder.

A pained hissed seethes through clenched teeth, eyes quickly falling upon her opponent. Much larger, much older, much stronger. She bites back the heart that threatens to sink into her belly, and quickly recoups, before attempting to surge herself forward and upward. With forepaws and claws extended, she attempts to hook them into either side of his shoulders.

TRIGGER WARNING!
This content might touch on topics that are sensitive or triggering for some readers. Trigger Warning for mentions of attempted violence toward a cub

Within the skin, the unshielded legions of organs. Guts to read and futures to plunder. Prophecy for the queen. Jaws stretched with jowls quivering, the maned neck in scraggly coils of humidity mixed with new sand mixed with drool. Foaming, stressed.

At dawn the waves rolled with foam in their creases, in little still pools, collecting debris from the tide.

Bare grimed moss-hued fingers with their ancient daggers striving, advancing the final stride with greed. The unshielded scruff jiggled. Bare, crusted crests of skin. Furrows of fuzzy fur. A barbed wire fence against a nuclear bomb? Shrapnel fangs bludgeon through skin, through fat, through a stretched gristle layer resembling muscle and there cut under the pelt. Imago may well hang on a meat hook. Gravity inverts this possibility. Downward the half's own stumbling tendencies, and the drive of a colossal dumb beast, pressing Imago's heaving chest into sand. Sand grains compress, form a floor, crack ribs between the base of the chest and the elbows. Fury heaves within. A scream. Limbs spread, thrashing, impossible to orient. Front wrists fling toward that dark bulk of weight, as though their unnatural number of claws may match his might. Maw pinned sideways, fangs attempt to scrape fur from the underside of the giant beast's chest with a chittering motion.

Keep a swift pace.. don't slow down.. keep your breaths even. Daedric had done so much endurance training up to this point that the brief run between the Cove to here would have been easy, but he had come from much further than that. The burn he felt in his muscles in the effort was welcomed and familiar.

He would arrive at the Lagoon, taking a moment to catch his breath before looking critically at the goings on. It was hard not to get swept up in the overwhelming energy that swept through the lions, it made his paws itch and set his jaw to clenching. How he reveled in the idea of throwing himself into the fray, not to aid his pride, only to test himself once again in battle.

For now, he would simply sit, pallid tail lashing around behind him. He would focus his attention on the pallid Mire king and the oversized dark blue lioness that challenged him. If he was to learn anything of value, perhaps it would be from this lion, one who clearly was no stranger to battle.

The collision of meat against meat, the heavy slap of it. Dragos grunts, pain shooting through his body, but the other one gives. Something cracks and he feels it, but it isn’t in him, it’s not his pain. Claws grapple, rip into his thick fur and flesh underneath. The beast snarls, trying to keep his grip on the throat in his jaws and squeezing more and more, unwilling to give up his position even as teeth tear into him. Everything is numb, he is untouchable in the red bubble of his mind. Nothing matters but ending this - protect the girl, his family, all of them. He has to end this.
