He managed, finally, to make the first few rows of net, tongue poking from between his teeth as he concentrated. If he didn't get it right, he was pretty sure the fish would break right through... if there even were fish in range.
A scuff of paws in sand sent his ears flicking forward, fiery light flaring in the downy fur about their bases as his mismatched eyes lifted from the fledgling fishing net to find a black and white wolf, tall and lightly built. She was a yearling, yet his quick glance took in her scars. Well, at least it wasn’t just him getting in brawls, though hers looked like it could have been other wolves instead of bears and mountain lions. She was cautious, visibly so, and he couldn't blame her one bit.
Her question brought a quick grin to his features, sabers glinting slightly, both in his own personal light and the moonlight as Lyr drifted down to land on the white sands beside him, head tipping to regard the girl with his blue eye, glowing plumage ruffling as he settled his wings.
“A fishing net.” Ardyn lifted the one-thirds completed project in his nimble-fingered front paws, displaying it and nodding toward the water.
“The fish don’t seem stupid enough or curious enough to investigate an odd light on the surface, so maybe I can catch them with this when it’s done.”
His tail torched, long hair whipping the sand in a flurry of fiery light, friction kindling the show as he added, “I’m Ardyn Adravendi, Destiny of Valhalla, a pack in the west of the content to the north of us.”
Lyr clucked and Ardyn added, "This is my friend, Lyr. We've been friends since we were quite young."

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.
