By now, everyone’s cuts and bruises would be mostly healed from the Raid, and Ardyn made his circuit around the territories in search of each who had fought for the pack. Or at the very least for its dignity.
His parents were quite easy to track down, so he headed toward the hillock, wending his way through the woods at its base and down the Ravine.
He came upon his mother working his father over across the shoulders with her paws in a steady, deep massage, a low hum thrumming in her throat. He held back for a few moments, simply taking it in. He could only hope he’d find as strong a relationship and love as his parents had found in each other.
Finally he stepped up and sprawled out beside his parents, smiling in greeting.
“How are you two healing up after the brawl?”

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.
