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!

One of the plants you used was a poison. Dio stared hard at Kireena a few times- blinking rapidly. Excuse me what? She waited a second for the joke or punch line. It wasn't a very funny joke but it had to be one... right?

Time slowed, Dio could feel her heartbeat in her ears and each thump drove down into her chest a sharp pain. It wasn't a joke was it? Immediately her heart began to race, and whether the toxin was growing stronger in power or it was the fear now making her throat close further could not be said. But even talking was now impossible- and Dio gasped loudly for as much air as she could get. Finding very little relief.

With lack of hesitation and a face growing freshly damp with frightened tears, Dio began to chew and mash the plant matter in her mouth. She tried to sit back up, but found herself growing dizzy and laid down instead. Circling it around from left to right, tearing and further crushing the plants between her sharp teeth.

(This post was last modified: 08-29-2023, 01:07 PM by Kireena.)
Kireena worked another batch of herbs into a mash, knowing that @Diomedeidae likely wouldn't be able to take both sets in and not choke on them. So she opted to break the antidote into two easier to chew parts. The bark made it so that it would help to grind against her teeth - and small micro cuts into the membranes of her cheeks.. cuts that wouldn't be felt or cause problem.. but would help the juice of the herbs work faster into her bloodstream.

"It's called Manichineel in this land.. but what you're eating is part of what will help. When you can breathe again - I'll show you what to look for so you don't accidentally happen upon it again...and I'll show you how to make an antidote in case someone you know runs afoul of it." She wasn't sure how much the girl was absorbing, but she took the second half of the mash and scooped it onto another small piece of bark, nudging it towards her.

"When you're done - eat this one.." She offered a smile, taking a chance and stepping close enough that she could try to nudge her skull against the younger females shoulder. "You'll be just fine.." She hoped to help the girl with her panic with a steady, soft voice and reassurances.

She only half hears now what Kireena is saying. There's really no evidence that what she is chewing on and being asked to do is helping, not yet anyways. The toxin has a headstart after all. And as panic begins to settle into Dio's heart it only serves to speed things along and make everything else worse. While on the ground her vision begins to blacken and her head tilts to the side a bit- she's still not entirely unconscious but there is a distinct glazed look in what can still be seen of her half closed eyes that is both fearful and absent of thought.

And then, more gradually than Dio would have preferred, the blackness creeps away and it feels a bit easier to breath. At least it wasn't the toxin restricting her throat anymore and it was more just old fashioned panic doing that now. eat this one. The instructions float into her consciousness and, somewhat weak and sloppy, she turns her head to find the second piece of bark and consume the second half of the mixture. With it came more relief, and came the reality of what had almost happened. Dio trembled, wanted nothing more than to curl into a small ball and disappear right there on the ground.

Seeing that the effort of breathing was better, Kireena stood nearby, offering a soft purr as she hoped the younger female would slowly calm when things got a little easier. "You're all right... You're doing just fine.". The druid spoke softly, hoping that @Diomedeidae would be more responsive. She was watching carefully as she noted the listing to the side, the glazed, glassy look.

Still, having experienced it herself, she knew what the other was feeling and did her best to make sure she wouldn't come to full awareness by being alone. Just in case the younger feline had questions about what had been happening. But more than that, she reminded Kireena of her own daughter and knew that she'd never leave Etain until she was sure she would be okay either. "Count your breaths..breathe slow and deep... Inhale for three, exhale for three. Focus only on counting and breathing.". It was something she often did to her own self when panic rose to grip her heart.

Breath, breath. Each scared breath at least feels like it's doing something more than the last. But's a painful, scary, process all the way. I could have ... She can't think the word. It's enough to start having visions of herself alone, on the floor of the jungle scared and still unable to breath. The word will make it too real.

She starts following Kireena's advice and counts her breaths. One. Two. She tries to make each a little longer, really focusing on her own body and the air moving through it. Shaking still Dio rises and moves a little away from Kireena, back to the plants. She pushes further away the one that had been identified as poison and she looks back at the others. With her paws this time, not fully trusting she hadn't plucked a second dangerous toxic plant to microdose herself with over and over, she begins once more to shift the plants around into a new shape vaguely like a leaf. It's less precise than the first few she had done. But the motions seem to work as well, if not better, to calm Dio's breathing.

Thank you. Her eyes, not her skull, turn to Kireena. There's thanks to be given to Maua but there was no denying the bulk of the work was done by this woman here.

Kireena smiled, nodding her head towards @Diomedeidae. "You're welcome.. If you want to learn more about what plants are not so healthy - you can always find me within Firnen.. I've come to call that place my home." The red giant grinned, stepping back and watching the girl as she worked her way through the motions of her ritual.

"Perhaps next time - you can tell me more about Maua? I'd like to learn." And perhaps - she supposed - spend that time to check on Diomedeidae and make sure that the young lioness was doing well. "Are you going to be able to make it home on your own or would you like an escort?" The red woman was sure that not everyone would want others to know where they lived - and her pelt had a distinct lack of any pride scents.. so she wondered if she was a rogue hiding within the lands.

There would be no hard feelings if the woman chose to take the trip on her own.

Thanks. Maybe someday Dio would take Kireena up on that offer. For today however? Dio wanted nothing more to do with any plant, good or bad. And she couldn't exactly think of when that might change. Nevertheless, the offer itself is appreciated even if Dio isn't in the position to truly accept it whole heartedly. The tired girl smiles, fear hasn't fully left her yet but at least Dio feels safe right now.

The cleric nods. Someday, yes. Dio would need to go give proper thanks to Maua eventually anyways, if she was going to thank the god for Kireena's well timed arrival then may as well have Kireena with her no? I move around a bit with my father, we're usually in the fields though. I would no refuse some company. Dio, although on the right side of life and death now, did not feel she could stand up to any trouble that came her way if that so happened twice in one day. The escort was welcome. She'd begin to lead the way at a steady, but slower, pace.

The red druid nodded and moved away from the site of the ritual with the younger female. As they walked, she kept an eye on her for signs of further panic - making sure that as they went, she was moving better and better.. and would hopefully remember to breathe as things went on.

Kireena hoped that the young woman would come see her again -or that they would meet up. She hadn't enjoyed being poisoned herself.. but was glad that it was one of the first antidotes she had had to make at the time. Thankfully that knowledge would come in handy...
