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!

September 26th, 2023 A series of pride challenges spark up across the peninsula, while warring families face-off as tensions reach their boiling points. Anthonius Savante barely manages to escape the clutches of Apollinaire Dieudonne with his life, while death looms over the broken truce between the Valour-Greyflood and Saxe families.

September 4th, 2023 After Tinúviel collapsed at the Wolfbron Bluff's challenge, she was unable to make it back to the Lagoon to take up her leadership position again and the pride disbands. Diomedeidae & Cirilla fight for the pride.

August 28th, 2023 Both Amara and Morrigan keep their prides. Lachesis doesn't show to defend the Brook and Renfri takes over. The Wolfbron Bluffs challenge seems to be setting off fireworks already.

August 15th, 2023 The two longest standing female leaders are both fighting for their prides once again. Anthonius challenges Amara for the Bluffs. Amaroq challenges Morrigan for the Summit. A new leader faces his first challenge as Renfri challenges Lachesis for the Brook. Did anyone think that peace was something the island was able to have?

August 1st, 2023 Conflict, drama, love, and loss - the lands are never free from any of it for more than a fleeting moment. As the summer months wane on and the season nears its end, there is no telling what is coming next upon the horizon.

June 19th, 2023 With the rains leaving and spring upon the island, things are heating up among the lions. Bruno seeks to unseat his father in the Mire. Helah looks to dethrone Scorpius in the Oasis and keep the fire between the Bluffs and the Oasis alive. The Plains have raided the Brook and allies on both sides showed up to help.

May 23rd, 2023 All is fair in love and war - moments of chaos and peace lull in a cyclical nature across the lands of Amaryllis, though most are wise enough to know that the quiet never lasts quite long enough.

April 20th, 2023 Alexander manages to win the Hollows and Tiamat keeps the Lagoon. Vághan challenges Amara for the Bluffs but Amara is able to hold off another challenger and keeps the Bluffs. The Cove was hit by a storm that washed away it's leader leaving the lands open to be claimed by Nephthys and Keligan who both are attached to the land. Cirilla attempts to take the Oasis from Scorpius who seems driven to keep the land.

April 5th, 2023 It doesn't take long for the dust to kick up as the Hollows is challenged for by Alexander once again and the Lagoon is challenged for by Fernweh.

March 31st, 2023 As wars and challenges continue to break out across the lands, Amaryllis is certainly keeping up with its turbulent reputation. One can only hope that the dust will settle soon enough - for everyone's sake.

March 10th, 2023 The turbulance of the prides never ceases for very long, as a violent landslide forces the members of Firnen Rainforest to evacuate and disband. Who will step up for the throne this time around?

March 1st, 2023 While Gauthier manages to retain control of Caladan Cove, Lorien Plains' fate is not so simple. With Aeistrios overthrowing Violarum and taking the pride's throne, how will things unravel from here?

Summer
The summer season has finally reached its peak. The sunshine is plentiful, the days are long and the air is hot and humid - but the evenings do not seem to provide the same relief that they once had, and remain somewhat stuffy. Thunderstorms have also began appearing more frequently, particularly in the rainforest and eastern region, though the rain is welcomed after a relatively dry season thus far.

The air is cool where it meets the warm blood that seeps through her body at the rips where his teeth score into her flesh. She cackles again, her laugh nothing short of insane as she connects with his flesh- and as the pain he draws from her comes to a climax of exhaustion.

The pain is all there is, all that matters.

The pain is all this was about. Her need for it, the way she craves the way her flesh tears from her body, the way he pushes her- attempts to dominate her. The way she fights back- attempting to show that she cannot be broken, cannot buckle beneath such a male.

In her finale move, as his bite into her neck and spine, pinches and aches, she aims to release her grasp that she's maintained on him, and she merely aims to shift her head- to aim to bite into him again- to spread out the damage and pain, all the while aiming to thrash her head. Not that she wishes to maim him, but she wishes to taste as much of him as she is able- to leave a mark upon his flesh.

The wolves come out
to see the end
from the flames of the fire
i feel you crawl into my bed

throwing shapes at the sky,
i watch you crying into me

His breath becomes a tangle of need and desperation, of an aching so carnal and fierce, he could barely contain his snarling passions. He bares his fangs at her, against her; flashing menacing canines, as she spills his blood across the earth. Her skin wrapped against his teeth feels like religion, like being swept away at sea - like falling into an abyss of want and need and holy p r a y e r.

Blood drips, drips, drips from his wounds. The aroma surrounding him is intoxicating. It is mingled with the fragrance of her blood and her arousal. He feels dizzy at the thought of her; his heady vermillion gaze, fixating against her curvaceous form as she writhes and thrashes like a tease, beneath. His own flesh is riddled with wounds caused by her teeth; each wound oozing with so much blood, it coats them both.

Suddenly, he stills, hard male muscles flexing above her form; barely containing his wrath. A lustful breath pools into her ear - if she will hear him - and his whisper is both hoarse and breathy with masculine need.

"Well, you won," Came the toe-curling whisper, as his lips press (almost lovingly) against the curve of her ear. "What games shall we play next?" Even as she had won, he doesn't relinquish his hold upon her - if anything, he seeks to grasp her even closer to him.

Her own fur is wet with blood, a mix of his and hers. The sinful liquid does nothing to cease her ferocity, and instead eggs it on. Yet, somehow she finds herself in the winning position this time, and his breath is close to her ear as he speaks- granting her that victory, but proposing an interesting question that she cannot fathom to walk away from.

"I could think of a few...more things... " After all, violence was nothing more than the prelude before any act of wanton desire. "We could do together." She said with a grin that she wasn't sure he could see with their positions but was evident in her voice. "A mutually beneficial sort of thing." A breathy whisper, as she aimed to move- to press into his tight hold.

"Violence is the best art of desire, after all," A flat out offer, that if he wanted... she was ripe for the taking. "And the best way to get started."

we all feed on tragedy,
it's like blood to a vampire


She is there - readied. Ripe for the taking. Their bodies were aligned, and he is still panting from their fresh fight, his hot breath pooling against her skin. He is almost tempted to, to lower his muscular form against her curvaceous one; to bury his hips into her, with a wrathful and passionate need. But Harou doesn't. Something wild and cruel in him surfaces to meet her playfully sadistic tones, something cold and effortlessly masculine.

Perhaps, it wasn't enough that she was asking him. Perhaps, he wanted to hear her beg. Wordlessly, he would let go of her scruff, a wicked teasing smirk curling his lips as he drops a soft kiss into the side of her neck. Hot and cold. His affections were hot and cold. "Oh," He sighs, almost playful, almost cruel. The tone of his voice dark and arrogant and gracefully masculine. The blood continues to drip from his wounds, as he now stands behind her, allowing the arid breeze of the desert to crawl upon her spine. He is not hovering above her anymore, but standing behind her.

"You'll have to be a little more specific than that," He jests wickedly, devilishly, his voice laced in hush-laughter.

"Maybe a little more show, less tell," He presses her with words and a heady gaze, his eyes devouring the view of her luscious backside; wanting to get under @Helah ♔'s skin.

@Harou ♔

There is a shiver of delight at the closeness of him, the feeling of his body pressed against hers. There is a deep, wanting need within her, beginning at the core of her- begging him silently to take what he wishes. It is everything that she wants, and everything she needs in this moment. His breath, against her neck and ear, she chuckles softly.

Yet, he pulls away, and she knows this because of the sudden air that dances along her spine. She frowns slightly and turns her head, tilting it sideways and back exposing her delicate neck, while glancing over her shoulder.

His teasing and taunting words, make her smirk as she lifts her own hips in response to his teasing, and in response to the need that pulses through her- aiming to bring herself up in a bit of a luxurious bow, making sure he gets ample view of her curvy hips, and best asset.

Her words are raspy, breathy, as she speaks. "Mmm, do you want me to beg?" She teases. "Want me to say please?" The words are paired with a smirk, and she's decided that this is a game she's willing to play.

And so she steps forward, away from him- daring him to make some sort of move.

Trigger Warning: Lust

Hunger, burns within him. A deep wrathful thing. A wild and poisonous heat. As her hips shift gracefully from side to side, his eyes will watch the rise of fall of her sensuous muscles. She begs, now. Soft and teasing. Light and fluttering. His heart begins to race at the sight of her so open, so vulnerable. Laid out bare, for all to see. Here, she stands atlast; all curvy fullness of her, twisting into something gracefully delicious as she dances and plays to a rhythmic cadence.

Harou steps closer to @Helah ♔, just as she stands, brushing his jaws against her lower spine, attempting to draw his fangs across her voluptuous hips. The whisper that leaves his mouth is dark and lustful, a heady purr, as the wolfish need bristles against his lean flesh. Desire, hot enough to drown out the sun, now lingers in his thick, masculine voice.

"Yes, that's better."

She was not a stranger to the many masks one could don to navigate the world, and she wondered what mask she should wear for him. Yet, as she stands, and his breath tickles her body, his words dark and approving- she decides what she should say. She puts on a saccharine sort of smile, as she turns her head back to look him dead in the eye, attempting to be innocent in her expression.

"Please," She whispered, her voice husky, desire clearly evident in her tone. She moved to step back into him, and invitation in her movements, "Please." She added, whispering darkly to him, with the same sweet expression she so carefully donned. After all, she only preferred such things when blood was involved. She would aim arch her back into his mouth, hoping his teeth were the next thing to touch into her flesh. Along with some.. other things.

This time she begs. Her voice is soft, melodic. Her voice fills his mind, a lulling croon weaving gently against the desert heat. Arousal begins to burn within him. A ravenous flame builds and builds, throbbing down his lower body, eager to devour her flesh. He can feel his heart beginning to race. A steady thud, thud, thud pulsing against the muscular surface of his chest. Despite the scars covering his body and the blood dripping down his skin, Harou feels revitalised. Alive. Once she arches her back into him, he finally succumbs to her carnal pleas. His mouth grips the back of her neck, tightly. He mounts her smaller frame, pressing her down into their earthen mattress. Rocking forward, he takes her roughly, allowing his violent hunger to fill her.

This content might touch on topics that are sensitive or triggering for some readers. Trigger Warning for mentions of sexual content

There is nothing like violence to be the thing to lull her after a fight. Nothing like a violent, sexual encounter, to bring her to her knees both literally and figuratively. Helah lets go, caving to her wanton desires, as he brings them together- glad that she no longer must beg for this, glad to have her needs met. Blood stains her body, and his warmth pools against her flesh- saturating her fur as they come together and she lets her mind go to that place of ecstasy and pleasure. And always, mixed with a little bit of ferocious pain.
