December 13, 2024 After winning the challenge for Wolfbron Bluffs and becoming the fourth Dieudonné to hold the crown, Lazare releases all the members and ends the longest standing pride's reign over the island. After seven years of the Bluffs being held by the same family, it now sits empty, waiting for the next chapter of it's leadership.

December 6, 2024 Death came to a witch hunter after she called for the death of Karsa, with Kvare answering it causing Miaran to fall. Lazare Dieudonné challenges Louve Dieudonné for Wolfbron Bluffs. Snow seems to be falling in the middle of the summer as strange animals show up and offer a tempting meal for those brave enough to jump in.

November 8, 2024 Scorpius has gone missing and in his place Zaahir steps up to take the throne of Andal Oasis. How this change of leadership will shake things up in the lands, only time will tell.

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!

Fall
Though the air is still warm and the sun is bright, the summer is beginning to wane and, with it, the humidity has started to die down. It is a welcomed relief for the inhabitants of the jungle, as more moderate weather will mean that the rainforest will not feel quite as stifling, as well as those from the desert, who's early autumn will see calm winds and mild nights. For the rest of the peninsula, the change in seasons will be gradual, hinting towards the colder months that are soon to come.

he holds onto her for longer than magdalena had thought. her skin tears under the firm grip of dominic’s jaws, a hiss that’s equal parts anger and pain whooshing from between gritted and bared teeth. despite it, she doesn’t stop, determined to try and wrench herself free, no matter the cost.

his question lights those embers because dominic doesn’t understand, he would never understand those complex ties that held alaric’s youngest children together. “she didn’t have to ask me.” magdalena spits, they were sisters after all. is that not what family did for one another - sacrifice without being told so that those who were shackled the closest to each other could be happy? after everything melusina had gone through, magdalena had thought perhaps her sister deserved one thing that wasn’t spoiled by one of her family members. had hoped for such happiness and harmony upon mel’s return as a result of her own sacrifice. “i loved her,” i would have given up anything for her. magdalena had thought giving one love up for another was a fair trade, but now they both laid withered in her hands.

regret tastes more bitter than she remembers.

dominic’s teeth are bared in her face and magdalena doesn’t so much as flinch as his body surges towards hers. a part of magdalena hopes maybe that those massive jaws of his might finally wrap around her throat and free her from this torment. dominic’s body slams into her again and his larger size means that it hurts. magdalena stumbles as she is shoved back, trying to keep her balance and trying at the same time to create some distance between herself and dominic. “i thought you were hers.” the thought has always been irrational, but it doesn’t matter because dominic will never be magdalena’s. “i thought my sister would be upset if she found out...” and now?

“but if her new queen has done so much for her, let melusina call icefang mother,” she lunges again for the sliver of opening that has been created between dominic and magdalena’s target, the claws on her foreleg already swiping downwards with bloody intent. for she is no longer a sister of mine.

there is a madness, here. it nearly breaks him to see it. what had gone so wrong to lead them here? to split them so severely that he begins to think there is no way back together?

tracing it back he knows the source of their ruin, and the burden that rests entirely on his shoulders. bruno was not ready. alaric should have stayed the challenge, warned his son of the struggles that would come with the crown. perhaps the boy would have listened and all of this would have been avoided -- at least if the ending had been the same the patriarch could have rested easy knowing he had done what was best.

he should have known better.

"father"

it's the only word that truly matters, the only one that breaks through his spiraling thoughts and returns his focus to the fight at hand. if one could even call it that. "täubchen*," he murmurs, an almost instinctive reply, a gentle caress of a word that softens his gaze.

he might have stopped, then. might have set down his claws and backed off, opening up a space for discussion and reunion rather than ruin. then melusina slams a stone up beneath his jaw, the sharp edge of it as dangerous as a tooth or claw. alaric snarls as the stone slices deep, blood pouring down his front and turning his mane crimson. it is deep but not deadly, though certainly the appearance of so much red would shock any onlookers.

in him it sparks a fury born of grief, throwing his weight forward as he lunges, baring his teeth and attempting to grab hold of the back of her neck and force her down once and for all. as vicious as his attack might seem he takes care not to pierce her with his teeth, to apply only enough pressure to hold her down (and perhaps to bruise) should he be successful.

The dark imp knew how dangerous war was. She preferred to spectate than anything else, given her predilection for collecting information over carving flesh, but on occasion, she could be convinced to bare her teeth.

Her focus moved between the violence and her son, then @Rhea as she joined them. “Léonie,” the dark imp introduced herself with a nod, “Me too.” She had hoped to soon visit her son in peace, not in the middle of a siege on the Lagoon.

Their relatively quiet bubble would not last, and the speckled lioness soon arrived to attack none other than @Güelle. The dark skin of her nose bridge wrinkled as she whirled, ready to intercept. She was not quick enough to protect her boy though — a realization that forced her back, reluctantly giving her son the opportunity to defend himself and leave his mark on his enemy.

Léonie could not intervene, but that certainly did not stop her from snarling from the side in a quiet, seething voice, “You fucking cunt.” No one — no one — was going to touch a hair on her golden boy’s head and escape unscathed.

The enraged mother bristled where she stood, her tail snapping behind her while she watched, spotted ears twisted back in her fury. It was the only thing she could do — until finally, it became obvious that her son could not overpower his opponent.

Her snarl renewed and eyes narrowed, the dark imp lunged forward, trying to rush in from behind @Cressida and bring her teeth together on the base of her tail — attempting to either pull and remove her from Güelle, or remove it entirely in the process. Her paw attempted to reach out in the same motion, in an attempt to viciously rake it down the back of the lioness’ hock and heel. Her intention: to hamstring her.

Due to her colorful (vulgar and offensive) language, Léonie is rated MATURE. She is open to dominance and minor maim matches, but please DM me to discuss any maims beforehand!

icefang

Blue orbs dart to the familiar form of @Cassius ♔ near @Freja. Ah, so that's where he went. Looking as if it's just another typical Tuesday and lacking any expression or body language to indicate he had failed her. How infuriating. He was always great at that. Making her body prickle in ways she did not desire. @Colsun and @Isla ♔ seem to be spitting words at her lead huntress and Icefang feels her dark lips pull back into a sneer. She has a bad feeling about this, but in a second the Scilla queen has taken notice of her and the fury that unleashes from her has Icefang forgetting all about Freja. She would find out what she needed to know after she won this battle and conquered both sisters.

Bracing for the charge, Icefang shifts onto her hind legs a few seconds before Isla is barreling into her. The shoulder smacks her hard in the chest, a rough gasp pushing past her lips as the air is shocked out of her for a long second. Jaws miss her face, but instead latch by her right front limb between the armpit and chest. The sensation of needle sharp fangs by a delicate area has the figure of a former opponent conjuring into her mind and she wonders if the lioness was winning her challenge. Or would she turn around to see her beaten and dead on the ground? Never mind that. She snarls, her left front limb attempting to hook talons on the valley between Isla's shoulders in an attempt to keep her balance as Icefang's ivory crown plunges forward and downwards in an attempt to wrap her jaws on the back of Isla's muscular neck. Right paw would also swing out and forward in an attempt to rake talons at Isla's face, hoping that her overzealous third attack does not accidently strike herself (Icefang) in the chest.

This was the first true pain the girl had ever known. The sear of his claws through her dark flesh made her scream ring out, bloodied and conclave as they touched the very structure of her body.

As @Everick tossed her aside, pushing away from their entanglement, the girl would hold the side of her face with a glare. Quickly as she could, Nazara memorized the features of his face--colorless, even his eyes were demonic--reddish pink. He smelled of the jungle. He smelled of the earth. Her gaze had not faltered, not once. Even as he turned to look back in her direction, the glare the princess gave him was unwavering.

A chunk of fur was picked up off the ground. One she had torn from his body. This would make a wonderful adornment in ritual. Perhaps she could, one day, get her revenge on a different path. Strength was never her strong suit.

Bleeding along the right side of her face, she made her way back to the border in bitter defeat. Just one more thing her Mother would use against her. One more thing making her imperfect in the eyes of the pale X'uekai

She sees the way Icefang moves, how she rears as her shoulder slams into its target. The Queen can feel a bruise begin to blossom where impact landed, a dull ache blooming through her shoulder. Her jaws don't clench the other's maw but instead the tender area where limb meets arm pit. It makes Isla release a muffled snarl in irritation; this wasn't what she wanted in her mouth but she would have to make due. Her jaws attempt to tighten, to press her fangs in deeper into the tender flesh, to gnaw and chew as though she were working on a tough piece of carcass.

She can feel claws cut through her thick fur, sinking into her skin where her shoulder blade was. It's a white hot sensation paired with the feeling of the other grabbing a hold of her neck. This action brings a kneejerk reaction from the warforged woman, Isla attempt to slam her head up and into Icefang's lower jaw. She knew this would cause for her teeth to dig in deeper but she knew that you had to sacrifice some to win in the end. Her movement causes for her body to shift, claws that were once intended to slash across her face hit a shoulder instead. Isla's left forepaw rises and strikes forward in an attempt to hook it around the other armpit area, to attempt to pull backward toward herself while claws dig deep wounds in their wake.
