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!

Resurrection
      |   #111
He sits far, far back from the borders where the fight is to be. Out of sight, out of mind. The gathered crowd is overwhelmingly the enemies of his father, and therefore his own. Not by choice; his blood is enough to damn him, as he’s seen already. No matter. His father will come and destroy this challenger, and they will remain in power.

And then, he doesn’t come. He doesn’t even show his face.

Valtyr is used to being overwhelmingly disappointed. This is no exception. His expression remains unchanged as the new king claims the Oasis as his own, casting out the adults and keeping the children. No. He will not stay. His half-siblings mean little to him, worthless while they’re so young - just deadweights. Quietly, the once-again exile slips from Andal and into the shadows.

his expression is stone-like and unwelcoming as magdalena questions him, though she had not expected a warm acceptance of her almost too-harsh words. a muttered reply that answers none of her questions is heard, evidenced by the flick of an ear as the girl turns towards @Melusina, eyes inquisitive and expectant. surely, if he wouldn't answer the question, her sister would.

however, the main fight has failed to start and the two girls still brawl some distance away. clearly, this wasn't going to be the "burning downfall of the saxe" show that magdalena had come here for. "we should go." she says, trying to press her side against her sister's in a comforting gesture as magdalena herself turns to leave. for now, it seemed that lingering here would bring about nothing positive or useful or entertaining, with only the usual post-challenge politics going on. with a flick of the tail, she starts towards home, expecting melusina to be following.

She isn't sure what she expects, but it is not this. Growing nervousness makes itself more apparent in her rigid frame, her trembling lips. Ears cup forward as if desperate to drown out the chatter surrounding them and focus instead on every little thing he gave: the drawl of his sigh, the tightening of his jaws. Melusina hinges on every tempestuous second that lingers between them, watches as the walls are built all around him—and she a trojan horse, threatening to spill the blight that lived inside her.

She feels @Magdalena hasten after her, harsh and skeptical eyes attempting to tear away the bricks that Dominic tried to lay. In quiet horror she watched that silent battle unfold: A sister determined to scrutinize every lion that crossed her path, and a boy who'd been ruined through and through by the thing that had almost done the very same to Melusina. But she'd been lucky where Dominic was not, and her mother had been there to give herself up in exchange for her daughter. She was helpless to protect the boy, but her heart still wrenched as if the entire ordeal was within her hands.

Who are you? Magdalena asks.

No one, he replies.

Melusina chokes out a sob.

N—No... she begins, reaching a hand out for him. You're Dom... But he was already gone.

The uproar caused by Aeistrios' disappearance quickly steals away her attention, however. She could not hasten after Dominic's retreating form with so many lions already blocking the path. Melusina hears Magdalena's voice, but it sounds muffled, struggling to reach higher than the already fervent pace of her heart. It is only when she feels the soft push of her sister against her flank that she finally does stir, sparing her companion a soft glance, before following her from the battlefield. Her sister would not get her shot at revenge this day, and Melusina left equally empty-handed and heartbroken.




Exit Melusina.

{I know!} Siofera yelled back as her sister protested their father had divided the family. Of course he had. He'd turned all the lands against them, and then killed their mother. And yet... she couldn't bring herself to fully hate him. It should have been simple, and yet it wasn't. Nothing like that was ever simple.

She was pushed back by her younger sister, who was close enough to her size despite their age difference it was infuriating. Her teeth once more sank into her face, deepening the first wounds, and Siofera finally snarled in frustration bordering on full anger. She reached up with a front paw, attempting to hook it over the top of Leiah's muzzle, this time baring her claws and attempting to sink them into the soft flesh of her lips, just wanting her to let go.

With things winding down, Amandil glanced towards those in attendance, and slipped away. There was much to think about and he had a few changes he would likely need to make in his own future.. Still, the silver Casales would watched those in attendance to ensure that his family would be mostly untroubled. He was pleased that his brother in law took the Saxe children under his wing.. It sounded like they would certainly need such protections.

The lion would make his way out of the space, intending to do some thinking before he would make any decisions on what to do. Long term choices on short term emotions and all that....

There wasn't a fight, as much as Frosé had wanted to see a fight, it hadn't happened. This was a first for the yearling, she'd never seen a challenger not even show up to defend their pride. It made her wonder what the point was anyways. Why even hold a pride if you weren't going to defend it? The girls squabbling on the sidelines earn a small glance from Frosé but otherwise go ignored. They looked to be siblings and surely they'd end up working things out amongst each other. She would rise from her hiding place, stretching once before she'd slink back the way she came. Still mulling over the lack of entertainment here today.

be careful what you ignite; you wanted a spark but honey you got a wildfire
"I know!" Comes her sister's voice and Leiah wants nothing more than to drown it out. To ignore the pain and hurt that was circulating through her veins like barbed wire. The only way she could feel, was to bring pain to others. It was what she was bred to do, it was all that she could do. She doesn't mend fences, she breaks them. Her sister's claws dig into her muzzle which causes an alarmed snarl to bubble up her throat. Instinctively Leiah lashes out once more, this time aiming for Siofera's left eye in an attempt to clip the organ.

Others from Wolfbron arrived, he noted, but Sébastien kept his hidden place. One could learn a great many things from simply observing, unseen. While ears strained to catch what snippets of conversation the wind chose to bring his way, he continued to watch the mouths of others, trying to puzzle out what was being discussed on the sidelines.

He could pick out certain words. Enough to gather the opinion of the Oasis ruler was generally negative. And, ultimately, the whole event would be rather anticlimactic, with the current ruler ignoring the call to fight for his home. Hm. He could see enough to work out the challenger was voicing his claim, his victory. Something about banishing adults, and keeping the youth.

And so things resolved without a fight. Well. Aside from the small sideline scuffles that were less important than a battle over the Oasis itself. Sébastien would extract himself from his hiding place with the same stealth as his arrival, now content to return to his den and retire for the day.

Saladin stays attentive as he is fed the tea, learning that this purple dude was not a good guy - nor was his family, too. The Svend-Tollaire would store all this information, giving a nod here and there to show he was paying attention while scanning the group to see if he was showing. "Sounds like he needs his ass kicked and then some," comes his muttered response at the mentions of how he had killed @Asbjørn's grandmother. Saladin knew that if anyone killed his brothers that he wouldn't stop until that lion themself were dead.

A gruff grunt is given in agreement to @Evren's words. "Yeah. He seems like a waste of space, anyways. Don't need any lions like him taking our air." His attention shifts to glance over to @Daneri, listening to her as it was shown that this Aeistrios wasn't going to show his face. Probably for the best. "And I was looking forward to choosing yours," he says to the girl in a teasing manner, giving her a wink. But it was time for them all to skadaddle out of the Oasis; Saladin knew he wasn't going to rejoin - he was over the sand and memories. "Guess I'll see you all at the next challenge." Humor laces his words and he gives Evren a playful shove before taking his leave.

exit Saladin.

She shouldn't have, but as soon as she heard the alarm in her sister's voice Siofera immediately let go. She wasn't trying to scare her, or hurt her, she just wanted her to stop. Which she didn't seem inclined to do as once again she attacked, her claws coming dangerously close to Siofera's eye.

Son of- an asshole, because she wasn't going to disrespect their mother like that at the moment. Siofera whipped her head to the side just enough for her sister's claws to sink in around her eye instead of directly into it, though she had to move her head further into Leiah's jaws to do it, which was really only giving her a better hold on her cheek.

I get it, I'm a piece of shit, now get. Off! We. gotta. go! Siofera insisted, because she hadn't heard their father, or another fight beginning nearby, and that could only mean something bad was happening, right? Shit. Why did she keep ending up in these situations? Once again she attempted to shift her weight into her sister, attempting to push her back or maybe off, or maybe cause her to trip, something so that they could both get away from here.
