He’d just about spotted a good spot that he might be able to rig a blockage that the sheep would have to jump over when he heard pawsteps coming up the path behind him and twisted his head to look over his shoulder, tail sweeping into a wag, black fur torching with fiery light as he grinned at the smaller male, keeping his voice low as he responded, “H’loo, Áskell. I’m hopefully going to come away from here today with a sheep or two. There’s a flock somewhere up ahead, and if I can get one or two to jump off the cliff the wrong way, roast mutton is on the menu. How are you? Congratulations on your win, by the way.”
There was no sign of resentment, just a genuine grin as the Destiny moved forward, pulling large rocks and smaller stones toward himself to start a foundation of a stone wall, glancing for a few sapling firs that would be good cover for the drop he hoped to conceal from the sheep. If he got it right, it’d go as he’d said. If it failed, then he’d examine the outcome and break down how it went wrong for next time he tried.

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.
