IC News

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!

The rain is slowly peetering out across the lands, though it is still heaviest in the east and lightest in the west. 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!

To Be Touched By Dragon Fire
Clear Spring

ooc:


It excited him within to see so many of his kin crawl out of the woodwork. Although his facial expressions were neutral and almost unamused. A lion he had only ever heard of in the stories his mother told him growing up, he studied @Drakon with interest. So this was his grandfather? God what Banazir wouldn’t give to be here… and he felt his stomach twist uncomfortably at his brothers absence. A lioness approached Narsil, and he half expected his mother to strike. Instead she accepted the kisses from her without argument which made his eyes widened slightly. Staring at @Hecuba in shock, it was clear that Vesemir had never witnessed such affection from Narsil except when he was a cub.

Pompeii bristled beside him and Vesemir paid him hardly any mind, finding his brother as cuddly as a cactus but moody like a honey badger. No stranger to his irritating ways. And Livyatan arrived but had made a straight line for Drakon, as if he was confirming he wasn’t seeing a ghost. Had they been close? Livyatan didn’t really talk much, nevermind about the past, so Vesemir was curious on this interaction.

And then Cove king arrived and Vesemir turned to face the lion. Was he uncomfortable with the knowledge that he had some patriarch that he had never met? Yeah, but it wasn’t his place to argue. Was it? Oh, no that would he Pompeii’s apparently!? Bewildered Vesemir began to move, more in earnest when Pompeii snarled at Narsil. Who the fuck!? But his mothers rough shove made him halt, looking to her with a pleading gaze to pull Pompeii’s idiot ass back.

Narsil was firm in her decision and even seemed to give this Drauhir a silent permission to do as he see fit. Tensing his claws into the sand beneath his paws he felt his jaws tighten uncomfortably. However Vesemir remained beside Narsil nervously watching what might unfold.

m-rated post for excessive cussing.



I think it's more a first introduction party.

An introduction, maybe. But hardly a party. In fact, Hanneth's speech is so dreadfully dull that Thaïs finds herself incapable of quashing the loud, dramatic yawn that parts her lips and closes her eyes. She had never known dragons to be so prim and proper, as if they may chafe their claws on the very ground they walked lest their step be featherlight and cautious.

She cares little for who they were and how they were all connected. If they are all fucking Tollaire, does it matter?

Yet, in a rare show of deference, Thaïs remains quiet as Pyrrha first responds to Hanneth, and then as the king makes his appearance shortly thereafter. And yet, as they wait in anticipatory silence for those who would step forward and make themselves a home of the Cove, she cannot help but feel a particular pair of eyes lingering, for just a moment, entirely on her.

But before she can make any sort of comment, the boy is rising to his feet, lodging accusations at Drauhir as if it was as easy as breathing. The din of their gathering is swallowed by his cavalier prattling.

Pyrrha is the cooler, calmer head. Thaïs is the unrelenting blaze.

What do you expect him to be, fucking omnipotent? she hisses, wholly unafraid of the ass she's making of herself, either. Learn your place, pet.

Under me, she recalls her brother saying.

And gods forbid she would ever find herself beneath more than one man. Especially one who has not earned it.

At least Drauhir fought the french bitch and won.

There was a call on the beach and Neeha was late for the family gathering. Not that it mattered, not that anyone would know. She had made her decision to be their shadow, her assassin. And that meant leaving the light behind, the glamorous pampered life of a princess cast aside in favor of poisons and cloaks.

The assassin moves in low to the ground body pressed against the sand as she watches the gathered lions. Fourteen lions stood at their borders, most unknown to the woman as her eyes drifted over the many frames. At least they seemed mostly friendly. Or at least they did until one dragon set the gather a blaze.

The pale lion, the one she'd seen and talked to before seemed to have taken offence to her brother. He yells something and charges at the other and Neeha watches. From @Pyrrha ♔'s words, Neeha puts together pieces of information. The age of her dear brother had for some reason upset the young lion. The assassin assumed it was about her younger brother being king while the other was not. Egos oversized and annoying. It was proving a theme among young men in their familiy apparently.

Another speaks and the Assassin's eyes are drawn to her younger sister, loud and challenging. Maybe it wasn't just the men, at least her pink sister seemed reasonable, seemed the queen she was always meant to be.

Despite the growing turmoil, the assassin remains where she is, hidden and listening. Unless Pyrrha called for her or the queen was put in danger the assassin would remain out of sight, out of mind.

More faces, more names, all absorbed by the Viper. @Hanneth, the original caller and the one with perhaps the most information, lays it out with an attempt to connect all the dots. Victoria had a vague recollection that Smaug was Drakon's father and so slowly began to piece things together. Bit by bit, although there were a few unknowns - Sunder wasn't a name she could place but the strawberry daughter (@Pyrrha ♔) was reasonably grouchy enough that it brought a smile to her lips. Regardless of how this meeting ended, Victoria appreciated a strong female who was unafraid to call others out on their bullshit. She would have been equally pissed if a hoard of unknowns had shown up on her fathers borders once upon a time.

Drakon throws their lot in with Caladan, which is at least a bit of a relief for her. She had no idea where Perses was, but his father had made the decision for her. @Drauhir ♔ was young, but if the male who had been the head of her family unit for a long time now had decided then she could at least appreciate that as a direction to go in. "My youngest cubs, Helena and I will also join. My older sons, @Cato and @Zephirin -" Wherever the fuck they were right now "are free to make their own choices." But it would be in their best interests to do as mother days.

Naturally, it wasn't a family gathering without some kind of explosion and so while Pompeii launched himself at the young Sovereign, Victoria had directed her lot towards @Pyrrha ♔. It gave her a moment to try and absorb all she had learned - including the connections with the Hodari name which she had previously not known. It reminded her of her conversation with Arcania and the marbled woman turned to her father in law. "@Drakon - I caught up with an old friend in the desert recently - Arcania X'uekai. She seemed to think that an alliance between our families might be achievable." Sensible, but it was clear that her brain was ticking away. Drakon might not speak for the entire family any more, but surely he would be involved in negotiations.

His patience was unraveling, thread by thread, as @Pompeii lion spoke. Each word was a challenge, not just to his authority, but to the very order that had been passed down to him. This man—no, this insolent boy who dared to speak as if he held any claim to the power Drauhir now carried—did not understand. Could not understand. But the king would ensure that he learned.

You speak of the mantle, Drauhir began, his voice low and cold, rippling with the authority that had been his birthright. But you know nothing. It is simple. Father was patriarch, and now it falls to me. The words were like iron, unyielding and sharp.

You seem to think you’re in a position to question me. Allow me to re-educate you. The words was not meant to be answered. It was an accusation, a statement of fact. Your place is beneath me. Just as it was beneath Father, so it is now. And you will learn.

The air between them was thick with tension, the younger lion’s bristling defiance meeting Drauhir’s cold, steady resolve. It was almost amusing, the thought that this cub believed himself ready for a fight he could never win.

Drauhir did not wait any longer.

With a sudden, calculated movement, he surged forward, his body coiling with power as he aimed a single strike—claws extended, sharp and deliberate, seeking the other lion’s shoulder.

Everything else was forgotten.

ooc: excuse his potty mouth<3



“And you should learn yours wench!” he snarled at @Thaïs with a venom in his tone blending in with the fiery rage that was consuming him. Nostrils flared while he turned his attention back to the lion at hand and he scoffed so hard he almost coughed. “So daddy dearest didn’t bother test your ass then?” he snarled at him, who the fuck cared whoever this pricks father was?

“What? Was he handing out that title to each cub he pumped out? You get to be patriarch,  you get to – let’s go asshole!” his witty bantering cut off by the lion charging at him.

Pompeii braced for a impact that did not come, instead a paw was swinging towards him. Snarling at the way this male seemed to hold back, he would charge forwards. Allowing the claws meant for the front of his shoulder to hit a bit higher and rip the flesh there. Jaws snaking forth to attempt to seize the mans upper leg closer to his opponents shoulder. His eyes narrowed and his ears flat while he attempted to stomp on the other males toes on his front foot that had remained grounded. Tail lashing angrily behind him. If one was going to boast and act pompous only to hold back, well for Pompeii than all bets were off!

Though Roan felt himself rather late to the gathering, at least he was not the last one to arrive as the High Sovereign of the Cove made his appearance. A king could be late, however. Not only was @Drauhir ♔ the king, though, he was also the Tollaire patriarch, which gave the Hodari hope that this gathering might actually be fruitful. It was one thing to make an alliance with another family, but to have the leader of their clan be involved would make it all the stronger in the end. The Cove king's introduction didn't seem to sit well with everyone, though.

It was mere moments before one of their own turned on their "patriarch," which only made Roan thankful that their own family 'ranks' were not so aggressively enforced. Frankly, there weren't enough Hodaris around to have enough of them to fight for the title, which was actually a bit sad of a thought to ponder. Still, an internal dispute with the Tollaire would take attention away from why they were all called upon in the first place, leaving the mauve lion to simply sit back and be ignored. This was all just going... terribly. There was little else the masked lion could do but to wait out this act of dominance between the two males. It was not his place to intervene in the matters of another family. Perhaps this gathering could have been planned out a little better, but for now Roan kept his mouth shut and his expression neutral as he watched.

The king's gaze narrowed as the other's claws tore into his shoulder, pain flaring up like fire beneath his skin. The wound was sharp, deep, yet it brought no pause. Pain had long been an acquaintance, a companion even, one he could weaponize. His muscles held firm, the sting of torn flesh only fueling his patience as he assessed each reckless movement of his opponent.

The lion struck with fury that reeked of desperation. Pathetic. Unrefined as his jaws finding purchase at Drauhir’s leg. It was utterly beneath him and yet, the insult could not go unaddressed.

It never had.

Even as his toes were stomped on, forcing a snarl from his lips, the king seems calm. With calculated ease, that did not belie his rage, Drauhir aimed a paw at the side of the other's face, claws unsheathing as he swung.

The blow was not a hasty strike, but one meant to land with purpose—a mark to sear itself into memory, a lesson of pain that did not need rage to be felt. For all Pompeii’s snarling, his insults and thrashing, the Patriarch would leave his own brand of answer upon the him.

ooc: i am assuming his mouth attack hit?



Jaws sunk deeper into their attained target, his eyes narrowing up at the lion that deemed himself so much better than the rest. What foolishness. Blood filled his maw but then he felt claws scrape across his cheek forcing him to let go. Pain seared but he was quick to come back.

Lifting a paw up he attempted to INTERCEPT the retreating paw with his own, to claw at the inner foreleg and jerk it backwards. Pompeii would leave his own mark, the four claw marks across his right cheek wouldn’t serve the reminder that Drauhir hoped they would.

No, they would be the fan to the flames within him. The reminder that those given titles did not always deserve them as those who fought and bled for them. A mantle handed down wasn’t yours, not until you bled for it, and he would always fight on this belief.

Eyes narrowed while his jaws snapped forward and up attempting to seize the mans lower jaw. He would leave here with just as much blood of his opponent as he could take.

’Nice to see you Livyatan the words echoed to Livyatan, in fact it was like the world had fallen away and only he and his grandfather stood alone. A childish rage began to claw its way up through his chest, like acid slowly burning away at his stoic resolve. The only giveaway that he may be hurt was the way his yellow gaze flickered briefly. And the scowl of utter disgust curled on his maw, stretching the scar across his lip in a gruesome fashion.

Apparently, while Livyatan felt the absence of @Drakon as a crucial and even life impacting event, Drakon did not seem to think so. Or he didn’t let on that he did. And what would the point be in having a fit over it now? Drakon was old, perhaps senile now. A scoff left his lungs while he turned from his grandfather. Turning silently he approached Narsils side watching Pompeii express his own rage upon the self imposed Patriarch.

Livyatan nudged his mother to bring comfort to her silently while he looked on, he knew there was no point in attempting to stop his brother. Better to learn through blood and pain than to not listen to another speech.

“He has a point” he muttered dryly, facial features like stone and hard to read. He too was not comfortable with the idea of some guy he didn’t know claiming to overrule their family.
