He’d seen her at the festival opening, but with so many wolves – and a huge glowing white creature mother had said was a horse – he’d forgotten to go say hi.
He bounced happily through the crowds, having watched some of the fights. There was a lull so guests could grab a snack and winners and losers could rest for their next bouts. Mother had said something about dubbul eeliminashion. His puzzled glance had been enough for her to explain that it meant losers of their fights would still have a chance to win in a next fight, and thus, if they won that, fight their way up the ranks until defeated a second time.
Pups wouldn’t be fighting until the next day in the morning so the pups who had traveled a ways could get some rest. Finally, he spotted a familiar, small form and bolted toward the Aerie girl. “Dantalian!”

Ardyn at first glance is as black as can be imagined with a raven sheen.
Closer inspection proves that he shimmers in fire tones in every hair on his hide right down to his lashes.
More obviously, he glows like a bed of coals and flames with every movement and brush of fur. His tail is usually wagging, so blazes like a torch.
His adult teeth are in and his saber canines have grown to their full length (see profile). His mane and tail hair have grown to full length, as well as being lightweight and easily buffeted by breezes.
A look at his front paws will give the impression of hands, with his dew claw dropped low and lengthened into a functioning thumb, and his toes elongated into fingers. He has retractable, solid black cat-like claws on every paw.
Ardyn has developed a glowing mast of intricate markings in fire and ice colors over his face, symmetrical over the last seasons of Year 17 (see profile for details). During hunts or raids/sieges, he will smudge them out with black soot to cover the glow, otherwise, they are bright enough to note at first direct glance at his face. Not all his artwork currently portrays the mask markings.
He is also often bedecked in beads, small bells, feathers in blues, ribbons and braids thanks to the Ooze Event of Halloween 2021, and the Coathanger item that he got. The accessories generally are seen most in his mane and tail hair. He removes the brighter items and bells for hunts or battle.
