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
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.

Aphrodite


Goddess of the Dead

This content might touch on topics that are sensitive or triggering for some readers. Trigger Warning for mentions of [birth and everything else that goes with it]


This night was a night that Aphrodite had found herself restless. Much more restless than normal and therefore, the Cove Queen had left the borders in search of a more suitable area to relax in. She had gone to the black shores of the beach and found nothing to help her, and soon she had found herself traveling to the only other place that she felt she might find some comfort in her situation. Aphrodite had brought her pouch full of things she might need in case she had gone into labor. Which, that was what had her barely stopping at the border of the Plains and calling out for @Reti ♔.

At first, Aphrodite would sit there but when she felt a sudden kick and a shot of pain going through her stomach and up into her back end, she groaned and nearly toppled over. Claws dug into the ground as she gritted her teeth and growled furiously as another wave of pain crept up her spine and down into the pit of her stomach. This was new. This was different. Aphrodite had gotten used to feeling their children moving about in her sides or when she was laying down in her den, but this - this was much different and very painful.

Another wave hit her and Aphrodite stood up suddenly, finding her stepping over the Plains border and calling for Reti once again, or perhaps even the woman who had welcomed him in her home and crowned him. In truth, she wouldn't care if both or just one of them showed up but she knew the time for their children to enter the world was here, and it was happening now. Hurriedly she would shrug off her pouch and begin to dig for a herb. A herb she had taught herself, learning about what she might need for childbirth and the pain. Another wave of pain hit her and Aphrodite groaned. She was not going to be able to stay out here much longer and she refused to be in the open like this.

Violet jewels looked around, and she felt like she had no choice but to trespass into the Plains, all the while calling for Reti as she grabbed her pouch and found the nears shelter but keeping close to the border in case she needed to run. A growl formed once again as she found herself in a small makeshift shelter, settled down and began to chew up the leaves of the Gnetum she had brought with her, just as another wave of labor pains raked her body. Claws dug into the ground as she felt the rush of liquid running down between her thighs and began to smell iron in her shelter.

Aphrodite would close her jewels tightly as she felt her stomach tighten up and the urge to push came to her and by instinct alone, she pushed and pushed until she would not only feel but hear the slurp of something sliding between her thick thighs. Shifting, moving so that she could bring the babe - a male, her firstborn - she cradled him to her chest and began to lick away all of the after birth and give him life. It wasn't long that he made his first cry and she was pushing him to her stomach to take his first drink of milk. He was quick to begin suckling away and it was just a matter of minutes before another pushing sensation came to her and she groaned, claws digging into the ground as she pushed and another arrived. This time it was a female, one much smaller than her brother but once Aphrodite brought her to her chest and licked her clean and set her beside her bigger brother, she was feisty to get her first drink.

There was a pause and for a brief moment, Aphrodite thought that there would only be two arriving to the world but that ended when pain shot through her body and she was pushing out yet another female - another daughter - but also a son. Once both had been cleaned, squealing with life and suckling at her side Aphrodite began to search for another herb, one that she knew would help ease the pain of the after birth and any labor pains that lingered. Finding the fruits of the Clove, she would take a bite out of one whole and would let out a small sigh as she curled inward around her children. The only indication that she was aware of the outside world was her ears twitching on top of her head as she breathed in her children and even admired them. Two were gray but her first born and one of the girls were black, the boy was massive compared to the other three but he wore the black coat of both of his parents. There were markings here, faint beneath the baby fuzz, but she could see them. She could see each of the markings on each child. But she wouldn't name them until Reti arrived.

OOC: I understand that Aphrodite is trespassing but unless you have been tagged in this thread or asked me to join, please do not drop in. You will risk Aphrodite biting your head off regardless of who you are. Her motherly instincts and vampirism is on a high at this moment. Thank you <3
