Ardyn had been busy braiding cordage for snares and other projects when his mother sang for the pack. Oh! That was today? He dropped the cordage and bolted for the meeting boulder, tail whipping into a wagging torch as Lyr clucked and croaked, gliding after the boy.
Regulus came upon them, and Ardyn slowed to escort his grandfather the rest of the way, eyes bright and tongue lolling in excitement. He would be involved in the raid, fighting in the thick of it, and the excitement of it all burned in his belly and veins.
He wanted to lead the charge, but he knew his mother would likely have him hang back a bit until he found a good opponent. Of his siblings, he was most certain Coran and Aoife would be keenest to join in. As he padded to sit near his mother’s place on the boulder, he looked around at those gathered so far, waving a long-toed paw to Kati and Domari, tail tapping the ground.
Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Labhair an Sean-Teanga." ---- "Hear" ---- Think |
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.
