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!

Fall
Though the air is still warm and the sun is bright, the summer is beginning to wane and, with it, the humidity has started to die down. It is a welcomed relief for the inhabitants of the jungle, as more moderate weather will mean that the rainforest will not feel quite as stifling, as well as those from the desert, who's early autumn will see calm winds and mild nights. For the rest of the peninsula, the change in seasons will be gradual, hinting towards the colder months that are soon to come.

It had been a few days since the reckoning, the horrid day where they had clashed so violently. It has left her with old wounds opening and much to think about. It had ended in a way that was hopeful. They could mend things if they could find the barriers that neither should cross. How to communicate properly with one another so what happened there never did again. Because that was a breakdown in every way it mattered and she had tumbles further than she had ever before with him. She could not have that happening again so it was time to reach out. Time to try.

So after a couple days where she had toughed it on her own, letting them both breathe, she felt ready. Pan was by no means happy or confident how this would go. She felt small and stupid because she should have caught this sooner.
Should have stopped it before it begun.

Anyway she has been hiding out in the tangle of red rock at the edge of the desert and the badlands. Now she emerged and chuffed, her voice ringing against the rock and stone. Calling for her Mate? Lover? Whatever they were now.

It was difficult to earn his trust and easy to lose it.
Crixus had thought himself an impenetrable fortress of steel, but one measly woman had managed to worm her way through trap after trap and now was standing inside the walls ready to wreck things. She had already wounded him and he was infuriated he'd allowed her to do so, yet the batting of her eyelashes and the heat between his loins had made her irresistible. Pandora wanted to try again, and so Crixus had resigned himself to a relationship where he did not trust. He wanted her within sight at all time, wanted her to drenched in his scent. Crixus knew of one way to do so, and as she called for him the lion's attitude shifted to one of possessiveness. His. His woman. She would not touch another man, another man would not touch her.

Never one to be shy, Crixus strode towards her with a growl on his lips and made to bite gently at her scruff, promptly coating her with his scent.. and drool, sorry. "I want you," he murmured, puffing out a huff as he made to nibble along her shoulder and spine.
      |   #3
She had never meant to hurt him. That was the main thing here, what she hoped gave him reason enough to try. To let her in again. She just didn't know if he saw her that way or if she had fucked up too badly for his trust to ever recover. While they hadn't parted on a good note, it hadn't been a full disaster. So she waits, damsel watching the horizon. Hoping that he would come to her call. Hoping they could forge things anew.

He comes in like storm, suddenly all at once, sweeping up to her. Nipping at her ruff in a way that almost has her melting. Gods above the things his attentions did to her. However she caught sight of the drool and managed to prevent herself from simply becoming putty. His to claim body and soul. Drool was never sexy.

"I want to be... but we should talk... so we don't hurt each other again." she states, leaning into his jaws but holding unto herself with rigid control. Not yet. Talk. Then fuck. Bleeding hell that felt good.

Crixus was, naturally, quite disappointed. He was very much like a child who was not getting his way and considering all they had just gone through, he felt like some good ole fashioned fun was just the cure. Still, she resisted despite her body saying quite the opposite and he grunted in annoyance. "You expect me to sit here and talk while trying not to think of all the things I want to do to you? Hardly fair." Crixus scoffed and jerked abruptly away, marching a few strides away to promptly slump onto his haunches. Fine, she didn't want to fuck? He was going to sit over here and pout.

"Talk, then." He'd not try one bit to listen unless it was more interesting than the back of her head.
      |   #5
Oh he was being such a such a child. He takes away his distracting actions and there is a whimper when they disappear. Well that was both embarrassing and not very helpful. Fuck her, she wanted him. "No no, argh." she states, looking at him. Naked need in her gaze, his actions, his words holding far too much sway over her after everything. Gods above this was complicated. She shakes her head after a moment, biting her lip, and sighing. Nothing she said would get through to him now would it? Might as well have some make up sex and then talk so well, those things he wanted to do to her would not be so distracting to them both. "You Crixus are entirely frustrating." she tells him, sauntering over to his little corner. Laying before him like a banquet, she looks over her shoulder with a smile. "Do your worst please. I know nothing I say will sink in if we don't fuck first. I'm yours." she states. Willing, accepting, longing. It hadn't been long since that first time, even shorter since things had fallen apart. However, she still wants him... she just needs to talk to him after. When he was feeling better about them, after he had reasserted his claim upon her.

Crixus scoffed. Really, after all that? He almost didn't want to fuck now, just because she was acting like it was a chore. He was a child? She was a child! Crixus' lip curled in annoyance at the abrupt change. "I'm frustrating? I want you to want to fuck me, and only me, and not look at other men like you want them to fuck you as well. Hardly complicated." And with that, he leaned forward to bite at her haunches without moving to cover her. Instead, he nipped her and moved away to settle down elsewhere. "No, no, we're talking," he snorted, claws digging into the earth with some pent-up aggression. "So talk." And maybe, at the end, he would feel like doing something else. Maybe.
      |   #7
Well this was going swimmingly wasn't it? He misread her, she him, and they were back to the same song and dance where they pissed each other off. She sighed, rather heavily, head bowing before snapping up as he bit her haunches and left her wanting. Behind. "Okay I can do that." she states, staring at him, nay glaring at him. Damn it, why was this so hard?

"So that's the first step, setting boundaries. I am yours, and yours alone. What else do you need?" she clarifies as he settles on the other side of the cave where she had made herself at home for the last couple days. Claws digging into the earth with pent up aggression, perhaps frustration. She stays where she is, stays low. Not risking angering him further. "I've some requests, but, I would like to know yours first. I don't, can't deal with something like what happened earlier. So help me avoid it by telling me what you need." she adds on after a moment. Gaze softening, lingering on her disgruntled lover. Try to get him to open up. To talk. Letting him speak and set the pace since he seemed to need that.
      |   #8
He was agitated and it showed. Why couldn't they simply go back to being mind numbingly oblivious to everything? Crixus had absolutely no desire to sit there and discuss things when it should have been so easy to understand. It was black and white to him, so he just didn't understand where the disconnect was between his assumptions and her brain. Didn't understand it one bit.

"For you to act like it," he said with a snort. "You should be flirting with me and me alone, not the first man you see after we finally fuck." Crixus was hiding his hurt behind anger and so far, he assumed it was working. "That's literally it. All I did earlier was protect what is mine, and I'd slaughter that fuck in a heartbeat to do it again." Crixus was a dangerous man, if she wasn't aware of that, and his true colors were showing boldly.
      |   #9
He is not one to mince words and save her from his fury. However, he is talking and explaining and she is able to endure the anger. She needs him to speak, to talk and even if it hurts, even if his fury directed at her is terrifying she will listen. "Okay." she agrees, voice small, but firm. Holding onto herself by the barest of threads because she knows she messed up. That some part of her probably deserves this. Didn't make it easy or anything like that.

There is a pause between when he finishes speaking and when she speaks again. Her fluttering heart, her past making it hard for her to speak after all that. Its a long few moments before she wrestles control and some modicum of calm. "That I understand." she begins finally, a waver in her tone that she frowns at, but pushes on. "I do not mind that sort of attitude. Its in part what made you attractive in the first place." she continues quietly. She had a thing for bad boys. For dangerous men. The little thrill they gave her was delightful; it just was not fun when they directed it at her. "I just.. need you to tell me when I upset you, to talk to me... You aren't the easiest to read." she states, softly, but her voice is firming now. Defining her limits is something that she learned early on to empower her. To allow her to function. "I need to not be told what to do like you did back there. I did not.. have much choice growing up. " she tells him, trying to explain. Why she had behaved the way she did, the way she was now as he yelled at her. She sighs, watching his tethered rage and looks at him hopefully. Hoping he would give her the chance, would allow her to explain what she needed for this to work.
      |   #10
Despite her acceptance of everything, Crixus was angry. He was angry that he had allowed her to get underneath his skin in such a fashion, angry that he was so eager to keep trying. He had his limits, of course, and would only entertain the notion of a relationship for so long if she continued to pursue other men.

She spoke of him needing to speak with her, and his brows knitted together in an annoyed confusion. "I'm not having a heart to heart with you in front of someone. He was trying to lead you into his territory, why am I not allowed to be pissed off at that?" Crixus' face wrinkled in irritation. Truly, he didn't see the crime here.

And then she went on to explain why he was in the wrong and his lips pressed into a thin line. "Then do what you want. If you want to walk right back to that man and throw yourself at his feet, do it." Crixus scoffed. "When have I ever told you what to do except for right then? Never. I've kept you from freezing to death multiple times, I've kept you fed and protected all without expecting a single thing in return. I slip up once and you mock me in front of someone?" Go on. Explain.
