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!

Had Hiccup not passed by the prairie himself on his way to the pond, he might’ve mistaken his memories for a fuzzy dream he’d slipped into while Faevyre had carried him home. Before, he had simply passed through — today, however, he had decided to actively explore the colorful field, to see if there was anything hidden there among the blossoms. But the only thing he had found were more flowers — nothing exciting, nor seemingly useful. He supposed they were kind of pretty though. They were much nicer to look at than the rock walls of home— oh!

That was when it hit him.
He could take some back with him!

There in the middle of the bright prairie, the boy threw himself into the task of picking as many flowers as he could carry back in his teeth. Red ones, yellow ones, white ones — all colors that would stand out in the darkness of the caverns. But he plucked a few purple and orange flowers too, and a blue one to bring to Faevyre. Maybe blue was her favorite color. And if not, he would have plenty more to offer her. She deserved something nice!

With pollen clinging to his fur and insects buzzing around him, the young boy buried his head down in the grass again and nibbled at the stalk of another white flower to add to his growing bouquet.

The gardens had become a place he usually avoided, considering that last time he curiously went to check them out Bhas ended up sneezing all the way back. Today, though, he had an important task at hand that required him to cross the fields. He had come to terms with the fact that crossing the big meadow was impossible while holding your breath, therefore he will be sneezing for the rest of time the day.

And so there he was, one paw after another taking him down a vibrant carpet, his sense of smell hijacked by the heavy amount of different scents. It felt like the perfect calm before a storm. Bees and all sorts of insects buzzed around, many jumping or flying out of his way once the gargantuan shadow cast over them.

Movement nearby alerted him and quickly made him halt and peek around in search of any dangers. Instead, he found what seemed like the rump of a child waving above the flowers. He approached without much notice. "What are you doing?" The hefty young adult towered over a small, red child with ivory paws. His dull eyes narrowing down on the babe as if judging.

@Hiccup


      |   #3
The flower bed he’d buried his head in swished around him and his movement, its whispering loud enough in his ears that he completely missed the sound of oncoming paws — so naturally, the sudden voice that came down on him gave him quite the fright. His own voice squeaked out as a bolt of fear cracked through him, sending him leaping forward a stride or two with every inch of fur sticking out and his silver eyes widened. Behind him was his abandoned bouquet, thoughtlessly dropped in his panic.

As he landed, his little rump swung around and he spun on his paws to face— oo- oh. Oh, GEEZ. The child’s already uneasy gaze crawled up the long legs of a giant, slowly lifting until their eyes met. Swallowing, his ears instinctively curled back while his much, much smaller body sank into the flowers around him, tail wrapping tightly against himself. Maybe if he looked as insignificant as a dandelion, the giant wouldn’t step on him with his massive feet.

… or maybe he had just made it easier to.

He hiccuped.

From way up there in the sky, the huge lion bore down on him with what seemed a very unimpressed gaze and asked what he was doing. Hiccup realized that “picking flowers” probably wasn’t the answer he wanted to hear. Something in the giant’s expression seemed … critical. Another hiccup squeaked out of his chest before he managed to reply, “Ff- finding soft stuff to ss- sleep on.” It wasn’t a complete lie. He did need soft material to line his den with, and since he was too small to do any real hunting for pelts and skins, he had to rely on the only thing that he could gather on his own: grass.

As per usual, his unannounced approach startled the flower gatherer and pulled a surprised squeak. Bhas's expression was left unchanged, solid as a stone, as he watched the red-and-white boy trip over his paws and fall on his rump in a frenzy of flying petals and pollen. The kid's grey eyes (very similar to those of the man), met the sulking gaze soon after @Hiccup had calmed down. The thought that he might be intimidating to the cub didn't even cross the unaware (and quite honestly lacking in the social skill department) young adult's mind.

He expected to hear a response. Instead, he was met with a hiccup that made his brow arch in mild surprise, which on the outside looked more like criticism. Hiccup. Was that kid mute? He struggled to find something else that can remedy the situation before the boy stuttered out a reply. Oh, that's actually a neat idea. He imagined lining down his very uncomfortable log with some soft things. Then giving out the rest to his gang. "You sleep on that?" Baritone voice inquired. Maybe he should pick out some as well.

Oh, no. The cowering boy saw the way the male arched his brow over his nervous noises and hiccuped again — which he only did whenever he was anxious. And given how critical the towering goliath looked, there was nothing he could do except hiccup more, knowing he was probably annoying him. What if the lion decided to eat him just so he would stop hiccuping? More and more bubbled up from his chest, his flattened body twitching with each involuntary sound.

If he was considering it, he wasn’t going to right away. He’d apparently decided to ask him if he slept on those flowers, much to Hiccup’s confusion. What did it matter if he did or didn’t when he was going to be permanently napping in the goliath’s stomach in a matter of minutes? What was he trying to accomplish?

But Hiccup wasn’t in any rush to meet his end just yet — so when the lion gave him a few more seconds to live, even if only long enough to answer his inquiry, he took it. “Yy- yeah, it’s— hic! .. it’s soft. And— hic!— smells nice, especially if- if you live in— hic!— a dusty hole like— hic!— I do.” Unable to get his hiccups under control, and now more worried than ever that he’d ticked off the bigger cat, the child pressed himself even lower into the grass. I’m just a dandelion, please ignore me.

Albeit his strange hiccuping (which Bhas chose to disregard as just a physical oddity), the tiny boy was a genius! His idea with the soft things covering the places where they sleep was amazing! "Why do you live in a dusty hole?" Who chose to live in such a dreadful place? The cub seemed to enjoy beautiful things, he didn't seem like the type to crawl in dirty places and live in them because he chose so.

While the red-maned goliath was not even remotely good at reading body language, the cowering pose that @Hiccup took in front of him seemed odd. Curious, he arched his head down to peer closer at the striped boy, his critical look remaining plastered across his face. "Are you okay down here? You seem uncomfortable. Did something sting you?" Maybe Bhaskar could aid the poor kid.

The nervous child had no idea what the behemoth wanted. He had no idea why he was speaking with him. He was convinced the male would pounce and sink his teeth into him any second now, so what was he doing? Playing with his food before he gobbled him down?

He asked him why he lived in a dusty hole, and before he answered, the boy had to swallow and clear the know in his throat. “Mm- my pride lives there.” Oh, maybe that would make him think twice about eating him! Having a whole pride on him for munching on one of their cubs would surely discourage him! ... but he was so BIG that he could easily eat him whole and leave no evidence for his pride to even find ...

He hiccuped.

The unexpected followed: the male asked if he was okay. He even inquired if he’d been hurt because he seemed h comfortable. That had the boy blinking. “Nn- no, I ... Hic! Are you ... going to— hic!— eat me?” he finally murmured, cowering in the grass — afraid that the answer would be a ‘yes’, if not a dozen teeth in his backside.

Even if the tiny cub was hurt, Bhas wouldn't be able to heal him. At least he can bring him to one of the prides, right? They must have healers. But the boy didn't seem to be hurt, nor did Bhaskar sniff out any blood when he lowered down at the height of the trembling, hiccuping babe.

It all made sense now to the older man when @Hiccup explained why exactly he lived in a "dusty hole". His brow quirked up in confusion as more questions arose. "That's weird. Why would a pride live in a dusty hole?" As if there aren't far more hospitable unclaimed territories scattered across Amaryllis. These pride lions must be insane or just plain stupid.

The boy explained his discomfort. So he wasn't stung. Wait... eat him? His confusion grew. "What? I won't." He offered, stepping away from the intimidated kid. The red-maned man was shocked to find that all that shivering and hiccuping was because of him. How did he scare the boy? Bhas wasn't even that intimidating! At least in his perception. "Hey, listen, I don't eat kids, okay? I don't eat lions. Period." The gruff man explained as if it wasn't evident.

The behemoth inquired as to why a pride would live in a dusty hole, making Hiccup swallow nervously. As long as they were talking, maybe he could continue to delay becoming an appetizer, so he answered, “Well … it’s protected from— hic!— from storms and it’s— hic!— cool inside when the ss- sun’s out.” The Hollow provided shelter from the elements, which Hiccup liked. He didn’t like his fur being wet, so having a dry, cool place to hide during the rain was nice. He wondered if that was why Úlla had made it her home too.

To his surprise and immense relief, the male answered him, explaining that he didn’t eat kids — or any lion, for that matter. The boy exhaled deeply, his entire body deflating as the tension drained from him. Somehow, it made him look flatter, almost deathlike in how limp he went — especially when he closed his eyes. But after a brief moment, they opened again and his ears slowly relaxed on his head. Pushing himself up, he still seemed a bit small and shy, but not nearly as afraid as he had been before.

“Ss- sorry,” he said in an embarrassed murmur. “You just got— hic!— really big teeth.” He was enormous, and for a hairball of a child, the size difference was terrifying. The boy felt like a mouse before the goliath, powerless and frail. But at least he wasn’t going to be eaten.

The hiccuping boy had a point: safe from disasters, cool in the summer, and most likely warm in the winter. However, the behemoth was still unsure about their location choice. His mind continued to display an actual dusty hole in the middle of nowhere whenever he thought about the kid's home. "Well, you've got a point... but that's still weird, kiddo." The man thought outloud.

He watched closely as @Hiccup's tension slowly unraveled upon Bhas' reassurance. The flame-haired lion's surprise still remained as he questioned how on earth the cub had assumed that Bhas could be even remotely malicious towards him. Despite the man's best attempts to be friendly, he often found himself in this situation. He was starting to believe it must be something stemming from him... or his face. "Teeth?" A paw lifted up to pull on his lip, revealing yellowed fangs and a quirky expression. "Really?" He genuinely wondered. Bhaskar hadn't thought about looking at his teeth because... well, there wasn't really any reason to do that, was there?

The man then decided to put an end to this or at least make the boy more at ease as he flopped down on the ground, flattening his body against the flowerbeds beneath. His gargantuan head landed in front of the boy's feet. Of course, he was still a boulder compared to the hairball of a kid, but that was as low as he could go. "Y'know, you'll have big teeth like mine when you grow up, too." The man mumbled, making the flowers that grew in front of his mouth sway with every word.
