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.

His paw is able to slam into her ribs, even causing the maned girl to stumble. Teeth close around her snout, but her head thrashes; and her own jaws seem to bite down as hard as they can onto his leg. Again. He attempts to return the favor by biting down as hard as he can, too, and to trash his head in a similar fashion to her own so he could try and retain his grip. She lashes out with her opposite leg, slashing at his other forelimb, tender skin tearing and ripping in her wake. A growl, and Aeistrios tries one last time to shove he weight forward and hopefully make her fall completely over with her hips already down.

Had she been aware, she may have hesitated to ambush him knowing cubs were present. Who their parents were, weren’t of consequence. Eisa was a Valour. A Greyflood. A Sigrun. She had honor and would do her best to never harm a cub. When he moves forward, his taunting name for her brandished like a weapon to intercept her- she inhales sharply- and then they collide.

The breath is knocked out of her, and as her teeth find his leg, she aims to clamp down, with a punishing bite into his leg and then aims to jerk her head up- almost unwittingly into the bite he now has. She feels teeth along the sides of her skull- as if her head is in fact large enough that she doesn’t think he can truly get a crushing grip. Yet the pain is nearly deafening, but Eisa doesn’t yield, doesn’t aim to give up the position she hopes she is in. She hopes by some stroke of luck, she can jerk his leg upright- and by doing this, she can make him stumble, to bring that leg off the ground in an effort to perhaps make him fall

LEIAH
She watches the fights despite the rush of rain against her skin. Leiah was determined to stay and see it all through, especially considering that both Papa and her sister were not done fighting just yet. Renfri fails to keep the land, and the scowl that normally is fixated on her muzzle seems to be etched there permanently. They would be without a home again it seemed, and Leiah could not help the immediate hatred that bubbled within her. Hatred at the fact that she was so small and unable to protect their home herself. The day she could fight and truly defend others would be the day she stopped losing things. That much she was certain. That ever-watchful gaze shifts from one fight to the other, rooted in place until they were finished.

Her orange gaze shifts to the fight on the sidelines, watching as the woman is knocked unconscious and then carried off by the dark man. Her brows knit together with unease before returning back to @Cassandra, that would have to be her main concern now. Thankfully her family is successful in her quest to be victorious and Reine releases the breath she hadn't realized she had been holding onto. She rises, but instead of dispersing amongst the crowd she moves forward, closer. "Cassandra I'd like to stay if you'll have me." She says to her directly, pausing to wait for her answer and hoping in the least that she may recognize her after all of this time.

The pines, they often whisper
They whisper what no tongue can tell
So much was happening all around her, but none of it matter. All she wanted to be was small. Small enough to disappear from it all unseen, untouched. She didn't want or like any of this.

The two cubs chomped and tugged on her body, clawing at her, but she didn't care. All she sought to do was simply extract herself from the situation as gently as possible. And so she did. Just in time to witness the end of it all. But she found no satisfaction in witnessing anyone win. Floppy ears laced back as she slowly moved away. They may have seen weakness, but she saw no weakness in refusing to harm children. There was no honor in that. Not bothered with whatever little damage the children had done, she stood tall as she nudged @Kireena with her nose. She didn't say anything, but she wanted to at least let her mother know that she was leaving.

Merely a glare and bared fangs were shown to the horde of Saxe before she stalked off, snarling at anyone who'd get close enough, be it intentional or not.

"Of course, of course...what a silly question," the Herald hummed as she slowly lowered her front. Large paws slowly moved, one in front of the other as if she were moving in some form of a dance.

That unsettling smile once again showed on her lips as she followed the boy, so very, very intrigued. Fluid movements brought her closer to both @Angelo and @Razvan and she didn't quite settle at first, still moving beside them in that odd prowling dance, tail and pointed ears twitching. Her entire body seemed to practically vibrate with excitement, as if all the bloodshed around them was what she lived for. And live for it she did.

Dark eyes closed as she settled on the other side of the huge male. A humming purr slipped past dark lips. Her eyes didn't stay closed for too long though and she found herself staring at his pointed ears. So there were others with such ears...interesting. For the moment she managed to at least silently sit beside them as she committed their scent to memory. One day. One day she'd go and find wherever they lived, to see what other manner of intriguing looks were bred in such a territory.

The most important fight ended and still, more chaos raged around them. A strange sound that seemed partially a trilling noise and partially a purr slipped past her lips as she pushed herself to stand again. "And so the song of battle comes to an end. Perhaps we will meet again, very soon," she purred before slipping away into the shadows.

His son did as he requested, and Angelo felt slightly better about the situation with the strange woman. Though he still kept an eye on her because he didn't know her in the slightest. He could easily protect his son from here though, and so he tolerated her presence without complaint. He did flick one of his ears at her as she stared at them, amused even though he had no idea why she was so preoccupied with them considering she had similar ones.

He turned his attention back to the fights as she settled in beside them, watching their conclusions. It seemed the Brook was back to its proper owners, or at least that was how the lions of this land would think. He watched the fight between the cubs finish up, and unsurprisingly the male won his own maim match. Well, seemed like things were winding down.

She offered a farewell that he at least managed a polite enough grunt in response to her before he turned to leave. "We should go," he said softly to Razvan, not wanting to hang around.
