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!

On the fifth day, Lachesis was shaken.

Encountering those dreaded eyes had that effect on him, but it was one he sought to mitigate. Amaryllis would be full of them, he was certain, but that was no excuse to run like a coward. He was not a coward. Peithos were not cowards. Those who were met their rightful ends at the teeth and claws of their betters. But he was a better, a more-than, and he could not very well continue to call himself such if he hid. It was what fate wanted of him, he was certain.

Not today, bitch.

As he climbed down into the crater, he sought out the first opponent he saw — purple eyes or not. A large eyes with mismatched eyes, neither of which were the color he despised.

Good.

You! he called, Let us use this crater for its purpose!

A favored land this was becoming to be. Even more favored than the boneyard- and that was saying a thing or two. He couldn't help that he was finding more enjoyment here, and it wasn't because of the battles he was in- no, it was from the ones he watched. Another battle was no doubt ready to commence, and Aeistrios strode forward with a relaxed gait. Coming to settle himself down, his heavy frame flops to the sands under him, stretching out underneath the sun as he bathes in the warmth of it. Relaxed by the feel of the rays on his pelt, he then turns his attention to the center of the pit, ready to see a show.

Leander is acutely aware that it is near time to put his plan into action. Soon, he will return the Miroslav's to the desert once more. But he still yearns to be battle ready, to be prepared mentally and physically -- it is a welcome distraction, considering he has been alone for many months. He strolls through the Pit, looking for a readied opponent.

Though on this occasion, it is the opponent that has sought him out first.

A male, that did not look too dissimilar in himself, strides down the Crater, yelling and carrying about how they were to use this spot for its purpose. The patched male is all too happy to oblige. The Miroslav charges forward, aiming to rapidly close the distance between himself and @Lachesis.

He focusses on his opponent's left-side, teeth aiming to latch onto his spine and Leander's right forepaw, claws unsheathed, aiming to swipe down along the stranger's ribs.

It was good that this male sought to get right to the point. Snappiness was always appreciated, and beyond that, he did not have all day. There were wounds that were bleeding and muscles that were sore. If his opponent intended to lollygag, he would simply move on, but that was not the case. His foe charges forward, closing the space between them quickly.

Lachesis flattens his ears and narrows his eyes as Leander come closer, attacking his left side. He is too slow to move out of the way, and for that, suffers a bite on his spine as the other's right forepaw rakes down his ribs. Screaming, Lachesis attempts to buck like a mad zebra, hoping to dislodge this opponent.

His teeth make their mark, sinking into the spine of his opponent. Simultaneously, his right forepaw swipes down the length of @Lachesis' ribs. As quick as he can, Leander attempts to return his right limb back to the ground for much needed balance. His opponent begins to writhe, jumping about like a bronco in an attempt to dislodge his hold. His jaws release but Leander attempts to move the bulk of his body as quickly as he can. With his right shoulder, the patched male attempts to ram himself into his opponent's ribs -- forceful and with no remorse or restraint.

There is a great deal of pain that he suffers through as he tries to dislodge his opponent, and though it pays off, it is not without consequence. But then, was anything? He could feel the trickle of blood leaking down his side from where claw had cut into the side of his ribs. He cannot even begin to enjoy the sensation of being free of oppressive jaws before Leander's right shoulder slammed into his already injured ribs.

The contact sent him staggering to his side, so much so that he almost fell. More than that, it winded him and he found he needed time to cough harshly and suck more air into his lungs.

His shoulder hits, sending a jolt down Leander's body and winding him in the process. Leander is successful however, what with @Lachesis staggering away and releasing a hoarse cough that would demonstrate the exhaustion that was beginning to set in. While he could admire his opponent's gusto in engaging in battle, Leander wondered just how much training he had had prior to this moment in time.

With an air of finality, Leander lunges forward once more -- his right forepaw lifting with the motion and attempting to swat Lachesis square in the face. His claws are unsheathed, hoping to prick and leave tiny flecks of open wounds on his opponent's cheek.

Really, it was clear he would need to do some endurance training when this concluded and he was healed up. To be winded so quickly was...insulting...in more ways that one. He should have been stronger, more proficient and yet, he found himself winded, leaving himself vulnerable.

And his opponent noticed.

Not sooner did he somewhat catch his breath did he see Leander charging for him. Too tired to try and run out of the way, Lachesis did it best to rear up as his opponent swatted him in the face in attempts to protect his narrowed eyes. Hades, he was exhausted and if it were not for a need to see this battle to completion, he would have collapsed on the ground.

His claws make impact somewhere on his opponent's face and as @Lachesis dodges once more, it is clear to Leander that the battle is over. Though he has physically exerted himself, it is not to the same extent that he expects from a fight -- let alone from a male that had actively sought out the battle. Fitness appears to be the male's biggest problem, his opponent's sides heaving with exhaustion and his movements sluggish. Leander knows that the only way to overcome such a barrier is to persist.

"Come find me again when you are ready," the Miroslav remarks coolly as he determines their encounter finished. With that, he sets off to depart The Pit, wary of his surroundings lest another beast come barrelling his way yet again

Exit Leander
