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.

Carnivore and voyeur


blood, of ancient sorcery, weaves their violent magic against the black earth.  sirenic whispers, the after-thought of autumnal rain, all linger against that ebbing lifeforce.  blood; pools of blood - all coats the breathing earth.  it soaks it up - the hungry earth - drinking the vermillion filthiness, as the black soil toils rich in its sanguine addictions. 

dregs of moonlight, peel against his wraith-like flesh, thus. lending haunting beauty to angular, male features. he is here, again - an eidolon, a thirsty behemoth; to sate his bloodlust against the living. the condemned. to fill his mouth with their blood and feast upon their withered spirits. without sound, houndish steps bring the feral warrior into the centerfold. a coliseum, for a hunter's promise, a vampire's needs. with a guttural snarl, harou's rage, unfurls. it's sharp, his hunger. an elegant manifestation of ruin.

he wants blood, he wants flesh. he wants you.

(This post was last modified: 02-07-2024, 03:22 PM by Sersie.)


When the world tries to break and bend her, Sersie throws herself into the pit. A month to flame, an addict.of adrenaline and pain..It's the fleeting moments in battle that bring the woman true, unbridled joy. She has nothing, and that is what makes her a formidable foe.

The limestone brings back comforting memories, blood spilled in the name of violence. It's tangy iron smell mixed with sweat, tears, and shattered earth. The belly of the beast drags softly, quietly, encroaching upon her supposed unsuspecting prey-- sore, tender jaw ignored. As was the healing would upon her head. Sersie holds her breath, for fear a cough would give her away. Damn the infection, damn the wounds.

She wants to feel alive again.

Green finds black, white and red. Prey on the form of a stranger. Bigger, stronger, someone worthy. The ground devours her body as she flies into action, hind legs propelling her in a leap at the hulking beast before her. With luck, perhaps her attack takes the creature by surprise--forcing her stiffened jaw to try and snag some of his flesh at the hind end, as her singular forepaw tries to drag along his left hip.

Sersie never feared death, but oh how she missed it's company each time it left her. Aside from the fox, the entity was probably her only friend.

The witchling had never been to the pits. She'd never seen the stony hollow with a lingering scent of blood and fate in the air and ground. It drew her in. It had the girl marveling at the rocks wondering what color they would glow if painted with fresh new blood. Oh and how her fur prickled at the roar that echoed from the depths of the pit. A monster coming to life, a promise of blood and fate splayed for all to see.

Meisia dropped low. Her chartreux frame pressed against the stony ground as she moved forward. Abdul had taught her some of his tricks, his skills for how to hide and move unseen. She was not a master but she was learning and practice would make perfect.

So the witchling moved to peer at the monster in the depths of the pit. Her mismatched orbs landed on the large creature that loomed. Her gaze drifted to see another charging at the larger lion, the lioness's sandy three-legged frame familiar. The former Scilla queen lived, @Sersie lived, and the sea had not claimed her. The sea had not been painted with her blood that night when the Lagoon was washed clean. Fate had other plans, fate had a plan. And perhaps the witchling was now even more interested in the fight. To see how this three-legged lioness would fight. How she could think herself able to rule, a queen. She was but half a lion.

The witchling waited a smile creeping onto inky lips as her tongue darted over them. "Let blood paint the rocks, let blood spill and run, let their fate be painted in red." she'd whisper quietly, mismatched gaze never leaving the carnage about to unfold. Her prayer is quiet and holding no favor for either. Blood would flow, and blood would decide who won. She just had to wait, wait and see.

Part vampire Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur


in the barely-there moonlight, the wintry leviathan paces; restless, eager, passionate - hungering to drink from the fleshly chalice of mortal vessels. and darkness has many forms, many faces, many shapes. his mortal cup, tonight, comes in the curvaceous figure of @Sersie, whose golden bodice he only catches glimpses off, as ears violently serve backwards to pinpoint the sudden, lunging commotion. darkness envelopes the arena, envelopes the charging form of the smaller lioness, as harou hears her - then first feels, the opposition's fangs and claws draw against his hind-flesh.

blooded rivulets rise to the surface of icy, male flesh; just as he turns around to face her - a shudder of heat and adrenaline to rush down his muscular back. opening his jaws wide, harou retaliates, swiftly; seeking to cleave apart the female's face, as he turns around. attempting to bite her cheek, with his wide jaws, agape, salivating. his left paw comes up, too, talons splaying with murderous intention; attempting to grasp at her shoulder-flesh. attempting to drag her into him, if he can manage it.

the fight ends as soon as it begins. it would be anticlimactic, not exciting. harou removes himself from the golden banshee and paces a few steps ahead. there is no emotion on his face, no sense of victory touching his features, despite having won. he would make his way towards the exit of the coliseum, licking his blood-stained lips. an eerie sense of yearning washes over him, silent in his ghostly wrath. he feels the needle-pricks of wanderlust touching his muscles, sinking their relentless hunger into his mind. he would have to sate his bloodlust elsewhere, but there is a part of him that wishes to encounter @Sersie again in the future.
