Theory was swift to appear, and her surprise at seeing him brought a grin to the Heir’s features as he looked down at himself, quipping, “Maybe a short black bear.”
His tail beat gently at the ground, igniting flashes of fire in the inky hair as his mother greeted the Abaven alphess. A second figure arrived, a yearling about his own size, though slightly shorter. He met the boy’s eyes with a bright grin, ears perking as the other boy greeted and introduced himself.
His mother left the floor open to Ardyn, and he added his own introduction onto hers with a cheery nod, “Ardyn Adravendi, Destiny, or Heir, of Valhalla. Nice to meet you, Solo.”
His own accent was rich and lilting, heavily influenced by both parents, though with a faint extra something from his mother’s father. To Theory he added, lifting one of the bags, clutched in one long-fingered paw-hand, “We brought gifts!”
Many of the usual baubles and food-stuffs were packed away in those bags, as well as an herbal mead he and Paladin had been working on, with Cairo’s help. It didn’t have much of a ‘get-you-drunk-quick’ kick, which meant it was a good introductory mead for younger wolves, safe to sip during celebrations. Honey and meadowsweet, with mint included.
He set the bag down once more, ears perking with interest to see what Theory said in response to his mother’s question. How had Abaven fared through the past few strange seasons? Hopefully well.

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.
