December 13, 2024 After winning the challenge for Wolfbron Bluffs and becoming the fourth Dieudonné to hold the crown, Lazare releases all the members and ends the longest standing pride's reign over the island. After seven years of the Bluffs being held by the same family, it now sits empty, waiting for the next chapter of it's leadership.

December 6, 2024 Death came to a witch hunter after she called for the death of Karsa, with Kvare answering it causing Miaran to fall. Lazare Dieudonné challenges Louve Dieudonné for Wolfbron Bluffs. Snow seems to be falling in the middle of the summer as strange animals show up and offer a tempting meal for those brave enough to jump in.

November 8, 2024 Scorpius has gone missing and in his place Zaahir steps up to take the throne of Andal Oasis. How this change of leadership will shake things up in the lands, only time will tell.

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
The summer season has finally reached its peak. The sunshine is plentiful, the days are long and the air is hot and humid - but the evenings do not seem to provide the same relief that they once had, and remain somewhat stuffy. Thunderstorms have also began appearing more frequently, particularly in the rainforest and eastern region, though the rain is welcomed after a relatively dry season thus far.

Ooc all is fine


So you have no desire to think for yourself?

Maybe if she was still a child in the yearling ward that would have ruffled her, but as Dobromira watched @Alexander ♔ harvest what he sought, she could only offer another roll of her inky shoulders. I can function without active orders, but I know I am a pawn above all else.

There was a moment of contemplative silence between them that she was fine letting stretch, neither of them appeared to be the particularly chatty type. Rich brown eyes followed the motions of the man's massive paw, taking in the size of his claws as they flexed. He would have been a promising prospect to the pack had he been born where she was, surely those daggers could have carved many a throat and garnered much glory at the circle. Then again, who knew, the hound had seen both big and small fall to each other.

His other question was met with a few seconds of considering silence, one of her own paws lifting to scrape idly at the bark of the tree next to her, sliding the lighter blades along the natural grooves in the wood as she closed a single eye in thought, keeping the other fixed on Alexander. I only caught the name of one, but I'm a good mongrel and don't bark until told to. Tsk, tsk. But good try.

Dobromira decided to be bold, anchoring her claws into the tree as she flicked a chipped ear at the autumnal giant. And what about you? Are you a hound or a master? Does someone hold your leash?
LION, CODE BY LARS

Alexander couldn't deny that this lioness was - to put it simply, fascinating. Brows raise as she speaks, so willingly calling herself a pawn. He could only assume this had been drilled into her head from a young age, or perhaps she simply preferred it that way. Curiosity was well eating at him now.

A paw raises the small branch of berries to settle behind his ear, giving him an added splash of red within the canvas of white. Blue eyes narrow as he speaks, "Have you never wanted to be more?" Daringly the beast turns to face her.

He does not move to approach immediately, however, he allows a moment to pass for her to access his next move - as it was obvious from the ripple of muscle and shift on limbs. Even the curl of toes indicated her would step forward soon. The Savante made no comment toward her comment - a mongrel she might be, but he wondered how truly loyal she was.

The next question causes a hint of amusement to flash within the pale of his eyes.

Dark lips curve into another smile as his massive form finally takes a step forward, closing the distance between them as that skull of his tilts down to peer at her. "Perhaps you would like to find out?" He teases, nose wrinkling in an almost playful manner. The idea of being called master did seem appealing, but he had a feeling getting @Dobromira to utter those words would not be an easy task.

      |   #13
Just as the giant's body shifted and tensed with intent, Dobromira's made its own gentle adjustments; hinds readjusting her weight against her shins, preparing the flow of power that would keep her at the ready, body lilting toward her left ever so slightly of the man who wore a crown of poison. Like a pair of dancers waiting for their cue. Dobromira had never been a beast of elegance but she liked to think she was nimble enough to keep a beat going, breaking a leg and all that, no one ever specified whose it had to be.

As Alexander steps forward, so too does the hound, her approaching step being angled so that their contrasting shoulders were nearly brushing as she looked up at him with through long, dark lashes that should have belonged to something much prettier and sweeter than she. What I think is what I am told to think, what I want is what I am told to want, Dobromira reiterated casually, nubby wedge of a tail flicking slowly like a metronome. I am a void that can be filled...or spilled, but empty space nonetheless.

He asked a question that made a single brow quirk, twitching at the edge as she took in the unspoken implications it could mean. Interesting indeed.

I think you're offering your lead to the wrong mistress, @Alexander ♔, she teased right back, speaking his name in that same syllabic way that she had before. Did I not say that I was a follower, not a leader?

Bold, but as far as she was concerned they were equals in this moment. There was no gauge on the man's feats or strength, and she wouldn't let the brute power of bulk speak entirely for him. A little tease was allowed, if she was willing to eat whatever the cost of it was. I think you're barking up the wrong tree, busfrö. There's a balance to these things and I'm not the one that tips the scales.

@Dobromira boldly moves forward, meeting his approach and daringly bringing their bodies to a near touch. Jaws clench softly, lips quivering briefly as those pale eyes cast down to watch those lashes flutter up at him - meeting the intensity of a brown that reminded him of a deep amber. A favorite of his. Ears dance upon his skull, listening to every word she spoke. Intrigued, mildly bemused, the Savante takes this information and stores it in the back of his mind for later use.

The next words that slip from those daring lips of hers made him laugh, the sound vibrates his entire chest cavity. The deep, baritone sound of it fills the air and he shakes his head slowly, the thick tresses of his mane falling about his face in loose strands. "You would not be able to handle my leash." He realizes then he still does not know her name. Toes dig into the earth then, talons slicing through the soft, pliable dirt of the jungle.

"I am a curious beast, that is all. You intrigue me, but I am sure you leave most you meet with a similar feeling." It was then he feels embolden and presses his shoulder fully against the warmth of her own. Turning his head, he looks out before them, studying the jungle as it came alive. The blossoming warmth growing in the land was a sign for him.

"One day I will be the master that holds your leash." The words were spoken quietly, perhaps too low for their audience to hear as it was brushed near her ear in a low tone. Though it would not be impossible if @Bruno ♔ was truly curious. The promise, however, was set - and Alexander would not forget it.

He hoped, too, she would not. With that, the beast turns to continue quietly scouting the jungle, letting her think on those words.

The edge of a lip twitches as he pressed their shoulders, instincts reeling with an expected bite or strike but she keeps herself grounded. Unyielding as the split second passes to leave the two of them like a pair of familiar allies pressed close.

She has no doubt that she could not hold @Alexander ♔'s leash, it was easy to slip free when someone kept their grip loose after all. But her light taunt had earned her some laughter from the giant, and he admitted his curiosity. Perhaps she had no desire to hold a lead, but she could hold his attention. He certainly had hers being as close as he was, though their game of holding back information didn't hurt.

It is what he speaks next that snaps her focus sharply upon him, her ear flicking as warm breath tickled the velvety appendage to carry his words, the promise. Dobromira did not immediately react, giving herself a second or two to let the words settle and process before she again closes a single eye, shifting her skull sideways in thought. Interesting. Very interesting. He hardly knew her. Intentions, affiliations, skills, health... none of it was forthcoming from the hound, and yet the man declared his intentions of reaching for her collar.

Is that right? she began, voice smoothed even and lilting neither one way or the other. Well then, I await the attempt with curiosity.

Brushing past Alexander's bulk with wave of her nubby tail, Dobromira cast her gaze over her shoulder as she took testing steps away from him. Keep this in mind, though; reaching paws may get bitten claws. Until next time, Alexander.

Turning her head and finally breaking her line of sight with the autumnal man, Dobromira made to slip away into the green.


Exit unless stopped
LION, CODE BY LARS

The more he witnessed, the less interested Bruno became. Perhaps he should have felt enraged at someone encroaching on his property Dobromira, but more than anything Bruno felt the twist of unease in his guts. Their proximity, their tone, their banter – it was sickening, frankly. The boy found that, more than anything, he wished to dive away from it all and pretend he had heard nothing – pretend he had not seen the hound in that light.

Full of disdain for whoever this lion was who ruined his fun, this Alexander of unknown relevance, Bruno recoiled from his treetop perch. He could just see Dobromira making an exit of her own, so with confirmation of her self-preservation, the prince turned to make a silent getaway. Best to dispel this scene from his mind as quickly as possible.
