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!

Summer is in full swing now, with clear skies, warm nights, and ample sunshine! As such, the deserts begin to grow dry, the shores remain a blissful escape, the north is spared with cooling winds, and humidity continues to rise in the jungle. Rain and storms are long forgotten troubles by now, which is both a virtue and a vice during the heat of the season.

*Vague on pride affiliation, but Ava would be lingering nearby regardless.

Avaneira quietly meandered along the Hollow's borders. @Morrigan's offer to let her stay had been met with little resistance; in fact, Ava had felt some sense of relief being close to her sister once more, and trying to find a foothold in Amaryllis that was not quite so chaotic and cruel. But as it were, Morrigan's warning of this place had rung true, and there was little time between the peace of their reunion to the disruption of stranger men knocking on the doors of their hallowed lands. She could hear the scuffle from afar, and as she neared, began to recognize Morrigan's scent betwixt the metallic tinge of blood. Her pace hastened, and as she emerged from the undergrowth, she could see her sister there fighting against @Fenrir, a man of similar stature, not quite his full height given his youth. She was too late to intervene, but watched carefully from the sidelines, desperate to see her sister succeed and prepared to defend against the Hollows should this intruder overpower her.

Her heart raced furiously against her chest, nerves staying her paws; she was visibly distressed, but perhaps the two opponents would be far too involved in their own fight to notice the internal battle Avaneira struggled with herself.

If only Fenrir would have been slightly older, weathered by time and experienced in keeping tabs of his surroundings then perhaps he might have noticed the stark pale figure of a lioness approach with haste and intent. But instead, the wolf focused all his energy, focus and strength on the battle that raged between him and this vicious Pride Lioness.

Her fangs had dug deeply into his shoulder... something he had not even noticed until she released and he felt the blood well from the wounds and begin it's decent down his own leg. She then did something he had not anticipated! She threw her head back and to her left, smashing her skull into his own. He had been blindsided by this particular attack, and pain radiated in waves through his skull. The pain began at the back upon the impact site and rippled, as though his brain had bounced, to just behind his eyes... erupting into a massive migraine.

He was dazed, dizzy and a bit disoriented at this successful strike... and finally his grip upon her shoulder slipped, along with the contact he had made to her ribcage. She was free. She continued pushing at him, her claws digging deep where they rested as he moved where she desired him to, still too dazed to retaliate. All he could do was attempt two swipes at her forehead with his clawed forepaws as he reared upon his hind legs. He did not stand tall but simply shifted his weight to his hocks as she pushed him, sitting and using his tail as a prop while he rose his front half from the ground to attempt a strike.

Gods... his head was pounding. So much so, the pain was bringing tears to his eyes!

Fenrir wasn't the only one to suffer from Morrigan's brutality, as she saw a flash of white when her strike made sound contact against the yearlings skull. He had anticipated it and so it had been a full-force impact it seemed. As he staggered away, pushed back by her claws and defeated, it was all she could do to shake her own head clear, feeling the impending headache already starting to come on. She slowed as his face came a bit more into focus, realizing any trace of his own charade had fallen away and was now replaced with pain and confusion.

@Avaneira's pale figure was caught finally and Morrigan turned to give her a reassuring look that she was fine mostly, all a part of the trade after all. She hated to do anything so brutal in front of her rather shell-shocked sister, but at the same time, Morrigan hoped it might reassure her that she was well and truly protected here. Her attention turned back to the trespassing yearling for the moment then.

There was no point in punishing him further really and given he hadn't posed a threat beyond trespassing, Morrigan decided to speak with him a bit further, but if he preferred to turn tail and flee she would be okay with that, too. She wouldn't pursue him. "You fought well and if you need help I can find you a healer. Otherwise, if you ever change your mind about being a sneak thief... or at least be one in our favor, there could be a place for you here," she said to @Fenrir around the steady pounding in her skull and the bleeding of her shoulder.

@Morrigan had won the battle outright, and Avaneira swiftly understood why Magnus had made her the commander of his army. There was something about her that was unrelenting yet refined, a controlled chaos that seemed like a blazing inferno focused into a single ceaseless flame. The violence of it had only unsettled Ava when it was unclear who the winner would be, but to see Morrigan could out victorious only fed into her reassurance. She knew not all battles would be won, but to see such an easy victory reassured Ava of not only her sister's strength, but hers as well.

She'd almost been half-tempted to ask if @Fenrir would fight her, too.

But she'd kept quiet. Such a proposal would be inappropriate, and had only been the idle wonderings of a girl desperately trying to be as strong her mother, and her mother before her. She approached quietly, coming to stand near her sister as she wordlessly peered at the boyish intruder, wondering how he would remark to Morrigan's offer.

He had lost... again. How many fights was this now? What good is a lion if he is unable to fight?! *POUND* She was talking to him... the other female watching with a look of satisfaction! *POUND* He lifted a paw up to his head where the pounding was most intense, grimacing. Finally the words of the victor registered in his mind and he scowled. She was offering him her PITY! Was it not enough for her to have won... but now she must insult him! *POUND*POUND* The pain diminished his resolve, and his lips quivered, a lump in his throat. It was because of the pain in his head! That's all... he wasn't crying!

Without a word to the female victor, without giving her the satisfaction of a 'THANK YOU' after she had beaten him, Fenrir turned to leave. He saw the pale female look at him with eagerness where there had once been fear. It was as though he could almost hear her thoughts - 'Pff what was I afraid of? He's not so tough! If she can do it, so can I! I wanna fight him now too! He's nothing! This'll be quick!'

*POUND*

A tear slipped down his cheek as he passed her. He wiped it away with his wrist as he left the way he had come.

~Exit Fenrir~

As she watched the misguided yearling sway against the pain she'd caused him, she felt only a small twinge of guilt at having hurt him. Better she put him in his place than someone less kind. She had certainly made him regret his trespassing but she'd also been willing to help him... something it seemed his pride would not allow. He could only manage to shake his head at her before turning to leave. Morrigan sighed at the loss of a potentially good future fighter but she could only hope she'd toughened him up a bit if nothing else. Once she was sure he had well and truly departed the territory she would follow after her sister. exit morrigan
