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!

"OOC: She's officially a part of VB, joining thread hasn't wrapped up yet."



Her shoulder was mostly healed since it had been a few months since she challenged for the crown of the Mire and the Sigrun had lost another enemy during the fight. A Rike had been killed, and Saga had nearly been lost herself had it not been for Calypso saving her magically. Ever since her and Myrkvi’s arrival within the Brook, they’d mainly kept to themselves. Aside from the few healers and visit from her mothers and occasional visit from her siblings, they’d been left alone. And the young girl was glad of it honestly. She wanted them to have their time to themselves, to heal and bond with each other as a newly mated pair needed to.

For the moment, Cassandra was lounging outside their shared den in a sunbeam. A yawn escaped her as she situated herself more comfortably on the ground. Dark ears were pushed back lazily as she relaxed. It was a moment of rare peace for her at the moment. She wasn’t super comfortable in the Brook as she had been in her youth, but it would take time for her to truly feel comfortable within her birthplace again.

Wandering around the Brook had become a pasttime of hers, trying to familiarize herself with the territory and also just attempting to get to know others. She hadn't been here for terribly long, but she still longed to recapture that feeling of having friends around her that she'd had in the Bluffs. She did still wonder where her friends had wound up, and hoped they were okay.

She spotted someone lounging nearby and immediately turned and padded over, a broad smile on her features. "Hi! I'm Spiritus! How're you?" she asked with delight, happy that she'd found someone to talk to that she hadn't met before.

@Cassandra

Spiritus is genderfluid. The pronouns used in each thread are the pronouns they feel at the time. Unless told otherwise, other lions are likely to consider them male. In OOC, "He/They" is perfectly fine!

She had been comfortable in the quiet that surrounded her in the Brook. It was... nice to not hear lots of noise and commotion around her for now, and she had almost started to doze off in her sunbeam. If she had been feeling more up to it, the fluffy girl would've been patrolling the borders as she was inclined to do whenever she felt like she had nothing to do. But rest was important for her, especially with a still-healing shoulder. Since it had been her worst wound from her challenge for the Mire, it was taking its sweet time healing up completely.

Since Cassandra's eye had been closed, she hadn't noticed the approach of a pride member until she was spoken to. Duotoned eyes opened and her head jerked up at the other's greeting. ""Oh.. hello there."" Cassandra said softly. ""I'm Cassandra."" She said, flicking her tail as she briefly glance down at her shoulder. Part of her wanted to hide back in her den, hide her wounds and weakness from others... But she couldn't be rude. Not to a fellow pride member at the least, especially not when her mother was Sovereign and she should at least try to get to know some of her pridemates. ""I've... been better.."" Cassandra said, her reply guarded as she spoke. There was no need to air her discomfort at being in the Brook or her weakness with her shoulder... not with someone who wasn't family at least.

The woman looked up at Spiritus and she was immediately struck by the colors of her eyes. Now that was something that she didn't see every day! "Ooh, your eyes are really pretty!" Spiritus exclaimed. So, her name was Cassandra, well she could remember that!

Spiritus immediately took a seat when she said she'd been doing better, though. Well that was no good! She didn't want anyone to be unhappy if there was something she could do about it! "Oh, I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do to help? Get you some food or... I dunno, do a funny dance?" she asked sincerely.

A dark ear pushed back at the compliment of her eyes. She wasn't used to others noticing her eyes so openly, and it threw her for a loop for a few moments. The young girl was stunned into silence for a moment, trying to figure how what to say before responding. ""Oh... thank you."" She said softly, curling her tail around her hindquarters as she did so.

She also wasn't used to those who weren't family being so open and talkative as well as being so open to helping. ""I'm just healing from a battle I got into to - nothing more than rest and time can heal now."" It was getting healed, that was for sure. But with the help of the skilled healers in the Brook it was healing up nicely. ""I've just been trying to not strain my shoulder too much, even as much as I want to do more for my mom and uncle."" Cassandra admitted, a glance being thrown past the other towards the depths of the Brook.

+5 Meet a new member of your pride (no previous interactions)

Spiritus grinned in response to the thanks, not really having expected any if she was being honest. She guessed that was the expected response whenever someone gave you a compliment though. "Oh, I see," she said when Talisa mentioned she'd been in a fight. "I don't know how to heal, sorry. But I guess there's a lot of healers in the Brook?" She thought so, anyway.

"Is your mom Talisa? Oh, is your uncle Aquila?! He and Caligula are my daddies," she said excitedly. That meant Cassandra was her... cousin? Half cousin? No, cousin. She could figure out a family tree, sure she could! It hadn't really sunk in for her that with Aquila being her father she was suddenly part of the very large Valour family, not until just now at least.

""My mom and my aunt have me covered - its just time that I need now to completely recover from my fight."" Cassandra said, flicking an ear as she spoke. She was covered on the herbal side of things - her family was full of healers and her mom was very attentive to her healing and treatment especially. It was still hard to deal with being back home sometimes - but she was slowly getting more comfortable with it the more days she spent back in the Brook.

""My husband helps make sure I relax and take time to rest - I prefer to be a busybody more often than not as well."" Cassandra added in, her tail flicking as she spoke. Myrkvi and her both were making sure each other were taking rests and relaxing - though that was easier said than done for both of them. At the query from @Spiritus to if Talisa was her mom, and if her uncle was Aquila, Cassandra would nod in response. ""She's one of my moms anyways - Morrigan is the other one."" She said. Who was Caligula though...? She wasn't familiar with many of the going-ons of the Brook.. ""I'm afraid I'm not familiar with who Caligula is - I haven't been in the Brook since I was a yearling."" The fluffy lioness said, wondering if the other would be disappointed by her lack of knowledge of this Caligula.
