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!

Summer is in full swing now, with clear skies, warm nights, and ample sunshine! As such, the deserts begin to grow dry, the shores remain a blissful escape, the north is spared with cooling winds, and humidity continues to rise in the jungle. Rain and storms are long forgotten troubles by now, which is both a virtue and a vice during the heat of the season.

For the past few weeks, Cathán had been focusing on his hunting technique. Hunt, after hunt, after hunt - he persisted. The cheetah stopped, and stared at the tracks in the snow before him. He slowed his pace, and smelled the air ahead of him. The scent trail was still fresh, so Cathán knew his target must be near. Eyes glued to the path worn into the snow, he stalked cautiously. The footprints were solitary, yet they were intimidating. The cheetah reasoned that if he garnered enough support he could take down the beast; after all, there was only one. Strength came in numbers, which it certainly did not possess - judging by the tracks alone. Cathán, as he advanced along the path, could smell the trail strengthening furthermore. He raised his head, and paused to stare onwards. Finally, he had found what he was looking for. The boy would signal for more to join, and then wait patiently.

With a very loud and proud stretch of her shoulders and her legs, she whipped her mane to the side so she could aptly see. Moving along through the glade until she spotted the calf as well as the creature that was chasing it. Not familiar with a cheetah, her first thought was that it was a leopard but there was just something not accurate about it if it were a leopard. Nonetheless she moved to investigate and ran nearby to the creature and it became very clear in the way that it moved its body that it was different. It ran a hell of a lot faster than that of a leopard and even a lion, so this was a new discovery. Trying to focus, though, she moved in to take a hit or two to the young prey.

Hot plumes of air fell from parted lips as Delphine wove her way through the depths of the grove, down the narrow dirt-ridden paths and the shadow-lined trails – consider it a way to expel a bit of energy, lest she find something more tangible to sink her teeth into. Her morning had been uneventful, leading the yearling into a terrible bout of boredom —which had then, subsequently, led her here, training for the impending reign of chaos that seemed to constantly hang over her head.

But, alas! It would appear that her prayers would be answered only moments later, ears pricking atop her crown as she skidded to an abrupt halt, registering the sound of another feline, momentarily, before she set her body back into motion. Heading down the slope towards the glade, she was rather content to indulge in a hunt – not only would this fill her belly, but it would be a good way to train and to get rid of some of that well-preserved frustration. or so she hoped, at least.

Emerging from the treeline, bright eyes flashed across the small group already gathered before she honed in on their chosen target – parfait. Without wasting a moment more, the Dieudonne lunged forward into the thralls of the others, focused and intentional as she approached parallel to the calf and aimed to wrap her jaws around one of its long, lanky-looking forelimbs. And though she did not hesitate in her advances, she cautiously remained aware of those dangerous, galloping hooves – because the last thing she wanted to do was get hit in the head with one of them.

There seemed to be a patch of the forest that had forgotten to actually grow trees. Jóhanna had been confused for a moment, when she'd first emerged from the pines to be met with rolling hills, wondering if she'd turned herself right back around towards Celosia without even realizing it. But no - this glade was a different place, she could smell it.

It was also the most interesting place she'd encountered all day. Mostly because of the spotted blurs racing towards the crest of a nearby hill. A giraffe in miniature, and an...exceptionally skinny lion? Whatever it was, the feline was incredibly speedy, and before she knew it, Jóhanna's own limbs were flying across the snow to join in on the hunt she'd stumbled across. Gripped by the need to test her own agility against the fleeing calf and not-quite-lion both, even when her muscles began to burn.

Chances were that she would come out of this stronger than the calf would, even if pushed herself a smidge too hard, perhaps.

I am the killer

He was moving, a wraith on the prowl. The Andal prince was neither hurried nor was he lounging. He was hunting. Silvered gaze spotted movement in the distance, and as if drawn to the motion like a moth to flame did he siddle closer. The giraffe was being persued by others, and at first, the pale horseman debated simply lounging upon the grasses, watching them work their tails off and then riding in with fangs flashing and talons slashing to take what would rightfully be his.

They were.. after all nothing when it came to the war hounds of his fathers kingdom. Still, the youth was learning something. He was not yet full grown - at his full strength. He would need to exercise restraint. Besides - if he could get along with the creatures that lived here, then perhaps.. his net would be ever wider when the time came to cast it. So, the demon would join the battle, rushing down the grasses and coming to snap at the limbs of the frightened beast.

While he was not in the habit of taking too much time away from the eastern side of Amaryllis as he did not wish to stray in case they were in danger, he had found his way toward the Glade. Finding a very fast cat, a cheetah, chasing after a giraffe calf and then some lions circling it and going in. So Chaeton rolled his shoulders and pushed towards them, carrying himself as quickly as he could into their masses as he attempted to hunt alongside them. Prepared to have one of them maybe snap at him for interrupting a planned grouping but from their scents he predicted that this was just a random situation where help was necessary.

He had been watching the thrilling scene from a distance, stormy eyes shimmering with intrigue over what he was witnessing: a cheetah overseeing a hunting party. The dark rogue had never encountered such teamwork between predators, and he had to wonder: once the hunt was over, if the lions would turn on their leader, or share the bounty.

Hungry for his own piece, he stood and with a shake of his dark mane, moved to join the chase. He loped toward the party and its price, and waited patiently for an opportunity. Then, once he saw his chance, he launched himself at the young giraffe’s shoulder, trying to use his size to knock it over so that the younger hunters could swarm it.

The presence of blood was strong in the winter wind, but it was not the only scent that filled his nose. Each predator carried a distinctive scent, and he could only assume that they were each from individual prides. It seemed the land he’d journeyed to was much bigger than he had anticipated …

They are here again, a creature driven by wrath. Hunger is naïve to the desire of pestilent gluttony, uncaring, unwavering within its ways. Infectious is the disease that runs rampant throughout their bones, it brings the wraith forth like a circling vulture. No. A nosey crow. They descend upon the pillars of the earth with an arid croon upon their wings, eyes drawn forth to the shiny prize that gleams like a golden beam of hours within the horizon lines. A child. It is always that, something so defenseless, so abhorrent. A cruelty that is bore upon the world for the sake of establishing some sort of legacy, she begins to detest such things. Though – they cannot help but admit they make for an easy meal. Gardez l'enfant léger et sa détermination forte.(keep the child light and their determination strong) Ixora would pray, casting their blessing unto the quall of faces familiar and strange before falling in line with their arrangements.

He hears the noise in his soul, he can feel the pulse of the land change and shift. The peaceful forest tilts like a flat plane being twisted round an axis. The quiet was gone and Fearne's beloved domain has guests seeking a meal. As he meanders along to join them, to protect the forest, he lingers back and finds a particularly large evergreen tree that he's not noticed before. Within its trunk is a deep, seemingly carved, wound. A nest of some animal from seasons before maybe? Either way it is empty now and the cavern is void of all but air. A good hiding spot for some herbs or to stash anything he did not want to carry around all day. And the tree is tall enough it reaches over all around it. An easy landmark. Nice.

Oh yeah hunt. Fearne darts off quickly getting back on track. Following the sounds of foot fall he races up towards the ground, towards the lions running along, and took his time to wait for an opening and leap in for an attack of his own.

He would continue to chase, enjoying the burn of his lungs, the feel of the acid building up within his limbs. Rhesk was a pale horseman riding down his prey in the land of the living. Jaws would part as if raising a standard of war before he attempted once again to sink fang into the creatures haunch.

Talons would snake out, flashing in the dim light as he attempted to trip the beast up. Trying to bring it to the ground unceremoniously - and perhaps obtain enough food to fill his belly.. and a prize to return home with to prove his worth to father.
