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!

Thankfully, however, the temperature is steadly rising and the sun no longer hides behind the clouds. In celebration of the new season, the vegetation is alive and lush and plants are growing wildly across the valley. Spring is in the air!

Hunt Luck Roll:
Rolling 5d20: 15 + 4 + 16 + 18 + 20


The little snow leopard had never made an attempt to lead a hunt before, not was that her original intent now. She was simply out here for a quick run in the snow, an activity she never seemed to tire of. The cold air did not phase her, even as the sun began its descent and a curtain of steel grey clouds began swiftly rolling in, bringing a dusting of more snow along with it.

Despite not being out here with the intent to hunt, her steps would slow as she came upon some fresh tracks not yet covered by the new storm cloud. She was curious to know who the tracks belonged to, moving more stealthily, eyes searching and ears perked. She had to admit, all the running around had made her hungry.

A need for food allowed the ability to look past alliances, at least for Henrik. Personally, he didn't know half the reasons behind each enemy that they even had. So as the scent of a pride that they were not on so friendly terms with hit his nose, he paused to give it a thought before he carried forward.

Hopefully, the source would hold the same view. A job was a job, they could do their bickering at a later point. When he found her he fell off to the side with a dip of his cranium in his silent manner as he trailed along with her in hopes of finding the prey she seemed to be on the path of as his own nose aided as a backup.

Swiftly traveling through the fields away from his beloved sands, working his way into making sure that he stayed at the ready. Working his body just as well as his mind as he tried to get used to the different territories built within this land. Already he was becoming accustomed to living here but it still did not yet feel like any home of his. Perhaps in time he would find it comforting but for now, it still felt like he was simply passing through. A nomad built to sample but never flavor and savor.

When he spotted two creatures ahead of him (both clearly feline, but one of a different kind than his own) he began to slow his exercise until he was but a yard away. Eventually lowering himself to an acceptable height and looking to both @Mosrael (albeit with curiosity and buried jealousy for its beauty) and to @Henrik whose stature was large and athletic, a bit older than himself but all the more fit for a hunt. Good morrow. He greeted them as quietly as he could while being silent so the hunt would not be disturbed by his dark tones.

Promptly setting to moving a few inches to his right and bringing a stone close to his body, rolling his claws over it carefully. Slow and methodical, sharpening the tools that he intended to use in this hunt on whatever it was the snow leopard had tracked down. Not at all using his good sense to look at the tracks or scent the air more than he already had. Putting trust in her as a leader and hoping for the best. He wasn't here for the food, but moreover a chance to find the answers that he sought in those that called this place home.

To her surprise, two lions would eventually fall in behind her as she carefully began tracking the unknown creatures. Knowing that she was leading a hunt made her incredibly nervous, wondering if she was going to make a fool of herself, or perhaps she would sustain injury from whatever creatures they were about to spook. "Hello.." She murmured to them, visibly shy and awkward.

Eventually, they would find prey, Mosrael doing her best to keep pace, even jumping incredibly high, tail flailing both comically and impressively behind her. It served its purpose, she kept her balance even as it jumped and bucked, claws sinking into its backside, fangs seeking its neck.

The one she fought would trip over a collection of strange orange plants, crashing into the ground and dislodging her. She would look to @Henrik and @Chaeton then. She had been so caught up in the moment that she hadn't realized not one, but two of the creatures had been taken down successfully.

Attention would shift to the pumpkins then, wondering what they were. Perhaps if neither of the others seemed surprised by them she could ask them.

It would seem that they would be joined by another, a brute who smelled of no particular place that Henrik could pinpoint. He seemed civil enough as he greeted them. Henrik looked from the femme to the brute but happily gave a nod of his own in return to the pair.

In due time they had found what would eventually become their prey. The female was hard at work on one already as Henrik aimed to herd the other into the hopefully waiting bulk of the younger brute. Between the two, a carcass would eventually fall in success. When his gaze left their catch, his tongue swiped his blood-stained lips, as his eyes drifted back to the Mosrael.

It is then, on the other side of her fallen prey, that he took note of what had captured her attention. The round orange plants seemed to sprout up randomly all over. His eyes narrowed on them as he left the kill where it lay and moved toward them as well.

Their hunt was surprisingly successful as he took that moment they were downed to stop and catch his breath in the light blanket of snow. It had fallen upon all three of them in turn but thankfully they were marching right into Spring and it was beginning to fade. With both of the prey down on the ground and their last breaths having been taken, it took a moment to trail @Mosrael's eyes as well as @Henrik to the pumpkins. Oh no, not this again. Came his breathy words as he gave a prolonged sigh, not wishing to explain the game to them but also wanting to keep his distance from them. Let them figure out what they were and what they had in them... Chaeton didn't want to experience yet another one of "Nafasi's" tricks. Supposedly they were good things, too, but he hadn't seen those yet.

One seemed intrigued and the other one bothered by the appearance of the pumpkins standing all in a row. Mosrael thus did not know what to think of them herself. She would look to @Chaeton questioningly for a moment before following @Henrik's lead and moving towards the objects.

As she drew near, her steps would slow and she would sink into a crouch. One front limb would be raised up, hovering over the top of the 8th pumpkin in the line-up, bringing it down in a few careful swatting motions, touching the top of it as though toying with a coiled snake.

When it did not retaliate against she touch, she smacked down much harder, breaking the thing clean open.

double, double toil and trouble;
fire burn, and cauldron bubble...

Nafasi watches from the bushes, never once letting herself be seen by those huddled around her perfectly-placed pumpkins. They really were a curious bunch, weren't they? Well, fortunately for them, the sprite was feeling extra generous today, and had a treat for them that she has been wanting to share. And so, it was with a small smile that the being craned her head, watching the lions for a few more moments, before giving a quick stomp of her paw against the earth.

Hm...

Without warning, the pumpkin suddenly splits down the middle, right in front of your eyes! And...oh? It looks like there is something tucked inside! Weird, but you might as well check it out. Investigating further, you find a collection of trinkets, feathers, gems, fruit, and other curious things hidden within the pumpkin, ripe for the taking! Looks like you got lucky today.

It looks like luck was on your side, he casually admitted once he had caught his breath from the hunt. Craning his head to see that there were goodies inside, as Cassandra had predicted there would be. Gems and trinkets, feathers and wares... they weren't his thing. Chaeton had never been a materialistic lion and thus would allow the other two to let their hearts go crazy on divvying up the rewards. Instead, he turned to the two deceased bongo's and allowed himself a nice feast. Not at all concerned for competition since he had forgone the pumpkin's goods and there were three lions for two rather hefty prey.

Once he was done with his fill he bowed his head to the tiny, lithe snow leopard (appreciating the differences of her species to his own) and a glance to @Henrik. Pleased to have had their company and hoped that their days would be good following. Rushing his claws against the rock he had found earlier, he trailed his claws back and forth along its jagged surface. Sharpening them up one by one though he hardly needed to. Digging into the flesh of the bongo had been enough to show him that they were quite pointed but he grinded them against the stone anyway.

Once he knew they were good enough he got himself to a stand and pushed off with his back legs, sending a small cloud of dirt from where he had been. Racing his way back off towards the ocean where he felt the call to Nature the loudest. Legs bracing themselves with each stroke he made against the ground, mane whipping backwards as he allowed his body to simple soar across the land. Full and satiated, running was an easy task to complete. exit chaeton
