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.

A call is made for his pride, one more hunt on the agenda for the month. He settles in just outside the entrance to the Hollows, his nostrils to the air as he attempts to scent and sort of prey that lingered nearby. He often liked to see if anything had accidentally made it's way into the tunnels of the territory, but today, he felt it might be nice to have a hunt outside, in the fresh spring air. The day was bright, the sun high, but the wind kept it just cool enough that a good chase wouldn't be suffocating. His body lowered to the ground, prepared to begin as soon as the others gathered.

Lyla was still very much unenthusiastic about her new living situation. She'd been trying to avoid the stuffy halls of the stinky hollows as much as possible, and thus found herself lingering just outside when @Alexander ♔ called for a hunt. Finally! Something fun to do here! She was nearly six moons old for crying out loud, it was time she got to hunt too!

Keeping herself low the girl crouched as she skittered her way towards the lion, awkward to watch, but feeling proud of herself for how well she moved while staying "hidden" as she approached him. It didn't take her long to spot the elephant that had ventured too near to the tunnel system and she nodded towards it as she slid up next to him. Ok, you go high, and I'll go low, but I get a tusk afterwards, ok? She attempted to instruct him, completely oblivious to the fact that any sane lion would not be allowing her to take part in an elephant hunt. A girl could dream though, right?

Ambrus hadn't been present for the other pride hunts, having been gone to explore his new home and what not. The beast didn't want to make a bad impression; he was a shit hunter, but everyone had to contribute. Chewing at the inside of his cheek, the dark Savante would join the patriarch in silence.

An amused glance was cast to @Lyla as she spoke of backing @Alexander ♔ up in the hunt. Soon she'd be old enough to learn. It was good to see the youth riled and ready to provide for the pride. Ambrus cleared his throat and nodded toward the child.

"Might be best to sit this one out, kid. Watch the maneuvers and practice. Elephants are tricky, and we wouldn't want our rising star huntress getting hurt." he was awkward with cubs, never knew how to best handle them. All the man knew was that a child her age (whatever that was) had no place taking on a beast like an elephant.

(This post was last modified: 10-25-2024, 03:50 AM by Genesis. Edited 1 time in total.)
Like @Ambrus, Genesis did not typically see herself as an asset where hunting was concerned. Between her meek stature and her stark white fur to give away her presence, she was hardly a force to be reckoned with. However, here, she was among plenty who shared similarly conspicuous features--if not in ways that dramatically foiled her own. Among them, and among the Hollow's vast numbers, the little healer actually felt like she stood a ghost of a chance against whatever it was the King was craving, leading her to follow the growing hunting party out from the confines of the tunnels.

Ah, but if only she had remembered that lots of lions--and lots of muscle--also meant the possibility of a larger target.

But an elephant? Gwynevere would have guffawed at the idea of her sister facing one of these.

Swallowing the lump of uncertainty in her throat, Genesis rolled her shoulders back in feigned confidence and continued forth to join forces with the Savante males, placing herself at a respectful distance from them while remaining well within earshot of any spoken instructions. Blue eyes flitted briefly, almost shyly, toward them both as her head dipped in greeting, all the while her conscience screamed at her to mind her nerves in @Alexander ♔'s presence.

This was the first time she had shared space with the King since the Lagoon, where she had only been enlightened to his status by word of @Isildur, whom at the same time she had learned was a prince. Knowing where she came from herself, Genesis normally would not have been unsteadied by such knowledge or connections...but this was different. The Hollow had given her a safe place to land and so many new faces she could proudly call friends, allies, and confidants. She had grown to care for them all so quickly and so deeply, but a side effect of that was a desire to please. Which she was prone to doing to her own detriment.

Hence why she was now face-to-face with an elephant.

An ear turned toward @Lyla, then, her mind thankful for the distraction as the child assumed her participation in the hunt. Despite the cub's already large size--and despite the fact it almost rivaled hers--Genesis' heart skipped a beat at the idea of her getting anywhere near the beast. Thankfully, Ambrus was swift to check her with a few gentle words. The pale healer chuckled at this before returning her attention to their lumbering target, racking her brain on what would be the best and safest strategy for her approach.

Well, this was a hell of a thing. It was good that he chose to come to these things so often, because this hunt in particular would be a difficult one even with all of the largest lions (and tigers, no bears, oh my) present. There was also a cub present, which gave him a great deal of concern, though she was quickly warned off by another. He didn't know who she belonged to, not having been paying attention during the war to see that she had come from the Cove pride, but he figured her parents would be along shortly. In the meantime, he preoccupied himself with drawing ever closer to their quarry, intent upon being one of the forerunners of the hunt in an effort to keep others safer.

Sometimes she regretted her choice of hunts to attend. This was one of them. But also not at the same time because she also wanted to help the pride in any way she could, and hunting was one of the (usually) easiest ways to do so. This was clearly an outlier. Luckily, there were many lions and other creatures that were of a size that made bringing down something that large easier, though far from easy. She was afraid her actual skills were going to be needed after this one, though she hoped not because she didn't want to have to patch anyone up due to elephant wounds. She was also terribly worried about the cub that she saw, and fortunately another was already warning her away. She just hoped the cub listened.

Surprisingly, the boy had actually been patrolling their borders and making sure that everything was where it was meant to be. Zoning in on any scents that may or may not be familiar to him and otherwise taking a different path to make sure that what he had scented was what it claimed to be and not a trick of his nose. Of course when an elephant's scent was tracked in he was immediately set off on a path to track it down and alert the others of its presence. Though, he seemed to have found the prey's path a bit late and others were already on it.

So of course he took a deep breath, put on a smile and bounded towards the group. Letting his body that had grown substantially in the past year do all of the work for him. Muscles that were taut and prepared to take on the more egregious tasks of a lion while most of his expressions and his personality still regarded much of the boy he still believed himself to be on the inside. So while he let his outward appearance put in the exercise and hard work, he allowed his face to be that of glee and freedom as he chased the elephant alongside his family and co-pride members.

As per usual Juliette was only here to lend a hand when it was necessary. Providing herself to her pride mates whenever they needed her and whenever they didn't. She wished to provide an ear when they required it or even just a presence if it was all that was necessary. Today it would seem that an elephant had crossed their borders and made a silly mistake to linger around so she was more than happy to teach a lasting lesson that it wasn't a good idea for prey to trespass where they were not welcome but also very welcome.

Storm was always happy to join in on a hunt for the pride, and was pleasantly surprised to find one occurring outside of the tunnels. She had not ventured beyond the stony halls for some time and it was a nice change.

She was concerned by the presence of a cub as she approached the lions gathered to hunt the elephant, but her worries were relieved when @Lyla was shooed to watch from a safe distance long before Storm arrived to the hunt. She ran to catch up to the hunters as they began their chase and assault on the prey, slowing down only when she reached them and keeping an even pace as they herded the great beast. She nipped at it's legs to keep it from leaving the formation that had gathered around it. Storm then looked to the more experienced hunters, and followed their example for how to take the beast down.

The others come to call and Alexander finds himself impressed by the will of his fellow pridemates. This massive creature wouldn't be a challenge for them, not if they could take it down quickly. Without hesitation does everyone rally together. A plan is formulated and the King is quick to move into place. To play his part. Long legs carry him quickly, his mane billowing in the wind, jaws snap toward whatever body part he could manage. When this was all said and down, it would be a fine feast and the pride could celebrate, and fill their caches.
