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.

His attention had been distracted between the two fights going on and escaping the water. His continuous movement did allow for him to see more of the pride lands than the others were seeing with their entire focus being on the fights instead. Of course what he was seeing was a lot a lot of water. It was way more water than he ever wanted to see.

And then the fights were concluding. First Manes last and then Ambrosine's brother. The new Lagoon King didn't seem so bad though. Time was given to heal instead of being immediately chased out. And he didn't seem intent on forcing anyone to remain either. If not for the water then this didn't seem as if it would be too bad a place to stay. But because of that....

The maneless male skirted himself around until he could reach the borders of the pride's land so that he could make his escape. He got a name at least. And maybe he could learn more about the other later, once on safer ground.

She stood far to the back, somewhere behind Ambrosine and her commanding form, not knowing which outcome she feared more. The dragon as a king would be... frightening. She'd have no clout to deny his wishes, and maybe even the evil queen herself may demand she follow his sickening orders. If he lost, however, she doubt the beast would be cowed. Enraged in fact, to the point where she thought she should leave now before she was noticed, he had a habit of taking her anger out on her. She sat still however, looking under torn strands of mane from their last little bout.

The little voice in her head that told her to run at every opportunity was faded a whisper in the back of her mind that she could hardly hear. It was pointless to listen to it, she'd realize. She could only hope that someone would come to her and come soon.

Battle, while a song to his kin, to his blood, was not always as glorious as he wished. This one was doomed to a length that would not satisfy the demon, not that he knew that. He was far too focused on the battle, the attacks that the other made. He catches the paw, the back of the other's elbow, and the stranger attempt to pivot them back to their previous T shape with the Casimir's flank exposed. He counters this by pivoting his hinquarters himself, covering a greater part of the circle so he rotates 60 degrees to his left. Making them all the more head on. As the male attempts to grab his muzzle, the demon drops the paw. Unknowing that the action would upset the attempt to get gwyn with both paws. As muzzle streaked towards him, the brute twists his skull, tilting the muzzle upward. Skimming along the right side of his opponents face before abruptly jerking his skull to his right. Attempting to latch on to the man's cheek and ruff where it joined with the neck. Hoping to dig into the thick muscle there(hi scar for Manes). The teeth did leave a series of cuts on his right cheek and muzzle. Not too deep, but not exactly superficial. It would also pull to Gwyn's left to work in concert with his following move. Meanwhile and simultaneously with his pivot and bite, his paw that had been latched onto the other man's left elbow lingered for a moment before that lefthand forelimb began to move. Using the momentum from his own turn, his left forelimb digging into the earth, the man lifts his right foreleg. It causes the drag of claws to glance off, leaving only shallow scrapes that broke and restarted after the curve of his ribcage ended and his shoulderblade began. It comes up, and then down, sacrificing his grip to apply a hammer blow to Manes' left side of his skull. Claws are out, but not seeking purchase, the drop of weight and the last motion of his pivot the main damage causing apparatus's. The dropping of the man's paw, as well as the bite and battering ram of the blow all worked with the pivot and reared up position of his opponent to knock him down. To end it with a finality that other's could not ignore. Hoping make his point.

One couldn't let their kids go wild. One shouldn't yell at those who provided aid, who tried to keep their foolish offspring safe. One should not mistake a warning as a threat and overreact. Gwyn did not start things but he sure as hell finished them. """"

Sorry this is kinda crappy, I had a hell of a time coming up with a response.

Gwyn is rated M for Mature for sexual content, violence, gore, and occasionally language. May show up in any thread with his mates, regardless of tag.

and the final angel perished,
OOC: What a difficult post to respond to ;;

Some of Manes' attacks hit Gwyn, others didn't. But what Manes did know was that Gwyn's claws had latched against his cheek, causing a laceration that would certainly maim and scar. The beast's weight hit hard against Manes' head, which caused the brute to release his grip and stagger backwards. Concussion would slowly form, and Manes bared his teeth at the brute as blood dripped from his form.

"You might be victorious this time, but take this as a warning," Manes breathes, his azure gaze focusing back onto Gwyn. "If you threaten my child, wife, or family again, it will not be your face I'll come for." Now -- this was a threat, and one Manes sure as hell would honour if the Casimir was to come after his family again.

But for now, the Talgrim man stepped backwards and retreated to his wife, standing by her side and over his son. Attention turned to Vermier and Vasilis: it appeared as though Vasilis had emerged victorious, much to Vermier's dismay. It left the gargoyle wondering what the future would hold for his family.
      |   #65

And then it was over. His blow to the skull finished things, the man he had been fighting choosing smartly not the continue to battle with a concussion. Gwyn, while full of lust for battle, could respect that for the most part. Despite his inclination to continue. Still, as the other backed away, lashed out verbally the man scoffed. Standing tall, victorious, disdainful. "I warned you fool and only threatened when you all showed your ears were closed to common sense" he states, a snarl in his measured, quiet tones, blood still pumping hard within his veins. The threat flowed off him like water on a ducks back. "Control your errant child and do not threaten my own for offering aid and you will find you will not have the opportunity to carry out your promise. Nor will my warning become a prophecy" he continues, sneer following his words. The man would try to carry it out, but Gwyn was not one to be caught unaware or at fault. This all was because the others could not accept the truth. Their boy was a fool, a dangerous one, and would end up dead if he continued as he was. Without a firm hand, children would end up in trouble.

The man watched the other join his family, then, and only then, did he walk towards his mate. Despite the disapproval shown to him, he needed her expertise. His tail flicked at those on his side, Siofra and Zagan, to follow him over. However, the man who had made eyes at his wife what seemed like long ago called to him before he could reach her. He looks up, halfway between his own battle ground and his mate, burning eyes meeting the newly crowned king's.

"Pistis and I will be heading home. You may find us there at your earliest convenience" he said, voice flat. He wasn't a huge fan of the man, but, right now? Right now he wanted to make the journey back to the caves before the adrenaline faded and his energy faltered. Wanted to lavish in Pistis's care in the quiet of his den. If he was to attempt to try and talk with the man now it would end poorly. Not that... it would necessarily work out even if he had time to rest. Then again, he had not missed the warmth offered to the queen of the bay. So perhaps his worries were unfounded... but he was possessive over his mate and he had been too interested in her. There would always been a little bit of friction between them.

Anyway, right now, his goal was to reach the pale woman. So forward he walked, burning eyes searching for her mismatched ones. Hoping that now that the fight had ended and the reason clear she would rush to his aid. Would comfort him, and walk with him home.

Pistis hummed at Jewel’s words, lost in her own thoughts and watching nervously after her husband. Though she stayed tucked close at her side, not too worried if anyone saw. They were both high ranks, and friends. But, before Gwyn’s battle was done, Vasilis was claimed victor of the Lagoon. She turned, listening to his words. His home sounded idyllic, somewhere she’d want to live if she did not already have her own home. She glanced around the area once again, wistfully. Before she was pointed out amongst two of her acquaintances and a pride mate. It seemed to her, that they would all have good, close relations for their prides. Glad Vasilis had won for multiple reasons. She glanced back to Gwyn and Manes, realizing her husband had won, glancing back to Vasilis, she dipped her head in congratulations, pressing a cheek to Jewel’s quickly in goodbye.

She walked quickly but regally to her husband’s side. Making it over to him after he’d finished speaking. Hoping she’d be included in the discussion of their prides. Seeing as she was friends with Vasilis. The pale woman pressed into her husband, closely. Giving him silent acknowledgment of her pride for his win. His challenger was going to have a permanent, nasty mark of how the Casimir reacted to knee-jerk violence. Though she was left somewhat unsatisfied. This could’ve all been avoided if that cub would have just watched, as he should have. That mother, too... ah well. Now was time for her to help patch up Gwyn’s wounds.

Eventually, both fights would end. One seeming to last a little longer than the other. The main priority was the pride challenge anyway, so Roan paid little mind to the Casimir king and the Talgrim. Instead, his minty gaze focused on the would-be new leader as the golden male stepped away victorious. The man gave his speech, claiming these lands would be a safe haven. The words resonated with the mauve lion, having always lived under the same kind of leadership. A leadership that sought not to simply grow in numbers and strength, but become a place where all were equally welcomed and where all could feel safe. With the splintered state of his family at the moment, Roan longed for such a home again. However, he was adamant with himself against joining any pride without first talking to the family. For now, he would just tuck away this new information and likely return at a later date for further investigation. The more he knew, the better. And thus, the masked lion slipped out the crowd as uneventfully as he had arrived.

mature — slight profanity

this man was so blind his own arrogance that it nearly seethed from his pores — a walking contradiction of self-righteousness and false bravado. she supposed she could not expect too much from these rogueish men, even as @Manes opts to pull away and forfeit the fight in favour of future retaliation. her eyes are sharp, narrowed slits as she watches @Gwyn retreat, continuing to spew all those words that no one cared to hear more of. "bon putain de débarras," the woman nearly groaned, relieved when he finally turned tail to save them from enduring any more of the dramatics.

and it was then that the results of the other fight — the challenge for the lagoon — became clear, attention flickering to the shape of @Vermier as he removes himself from the arena without the victory that he had oh so deserved. there is a small thrum within her chest, a thread of disappointment that slithers beneath her surface, for the fact that they had suffered two losses this day. but still, it does not prevent her from taking a step closer to her brother, hoping to press her shoulder against his, should he allow it. it was done less in an effort to pitu and coddle, and more in reassurance that this was far from over — whether or not he had clued into the other spat occurring the sidelines, if it continued to spiral as it had, vermier would have blood, one way or another.

shooting a quick glance down towards @Tripfire, having attempted to keep him close to her shadow throughout this whole ordeal, ambrosine would look to make her way back towards her husband’s side, letting the new king’s words settle in the back of her mind. what he offered was generous and was not something to be flippantly overlooked or disregarded. with the dust having more or less settled, the parisian would shift finally to @Vasilis, her shoulders rolled as she prepares to speak upon even, confirming tones. "congratulations; we will take you up on your offer." she noted his direct mention of @Amra, which was a curious thing that ambrosine would keep tucked away in the back of the mind; for, if they new each other already, perhaps some more divulging was in order. any other pleasantries and discussions could happen beyond the peering eyes of the crowd, however, as the dieudonne woman intended.

turning a final time to @Manes, the woman studied to gnarled gash upon his face momentarily before her eyes settled upon his of cerulean blue. "let me go take a look at that, hm? et vermier?" hoping that her kin would also allow her to tend to his wounds, at least to the best of her limited ability. pausing a moment to ensure that all of her family members were properly in tow, finally, conclusively, would her limbs coil and look to propel the woman further down the beach, thoughts swarming with unspoken desires and brewing contempt all the while.exit.

Tripfire only ever fell silent in the presence of his parents, he was excited to watch his dad fight until he saw the other male got the upper hand. Then Vermier was retreating to join Ambrosine too, he lost too? Ears flicked back annoyed at the turn of events, he also felt a small bit of guilt pull in his stomach that his dad got hurt because of him. Burning yellow eyes watched a woman join Gwyn's side and he licked his lips, he knew right now that girls were gross but inwardly he made a vow. One day she was gonna be his and he would pay back Gwyn that way, or take his eye. Whichever came first. Claws were gripping the soil beneath them heatedly, he wanted to speak but resisted at the urge of his parents. Tripfire had crossed a line and he wouldn't cross it again.

Ambrosine looked down at him and he looked up at her refusing to leave her shadow, she moved and so did he. He looked startled at her announcement to stay with the king, Tripfire would frown but then move follow his mother. Once they were a distance away he would break away to allow privacy for his mother and uncle.

It suffices that he is not pursued by the challenger to whom he had submitted. Vermier didn't understand the flowery language with which the stranger introduced himself. As soon as he recognized it as grandiose and eloquent he ignored it; this was politics for his sister to parse and relay the meaning to him. He readily takes his weight and shoulder against hers, the comfort which is offered so rarely and which is so dear to him. His place in her affections had been long surpassed by his brother-in-law. He set out a paw to steady himself as she focused instead on replying to the stranger - congratulations, he understood, she was making temporary peace. He had no opinion on this. He focused on holding down the pain and trying not to snarl worse when he finally lifted his head, squinted, and saw that Manes had been injured as well. At this moment he was not a competitor for his sister's affections but a fellow combatant. Servant in arms. Brother. Jean-Claude had vanished and Vermier felt the void suddenly. To that ache, compounded the need for revenge - a sudden tilt of his head and a bloody hiss to the backside of the retreating king! Revenge! Brotherhood!

For now he gave the appearance of being soothed, lilting his ears and departing alongside his sister to be tended however she saw fit. She had brought Mishio for him, at least.
