| Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi |
Ardyn buzzed with excitement, but tamped it down as everyone agreed on a course of action and prepared. He settled into defenses and as Caelia launched toward him, he tensed briefly, then spotted that she was going after Cairo, at which point, he leapt toward Drachen, aiming to come head-to-head with the smaller man.
The yearling Heir sought to shift to his own right, to Drachen’s left and drop his own left shoulder, seeking to plant the armor-clad point of his shoulder into the middle portion of Drachen’s left shoulder, but not putting his full force into the blow to avoid doing real damage to his packmate and friend.
Simultaneously, his left foreleg, unlocked with the drop of his shoulder, lifted as his weight shifted smoothly to his other three limbs, and his long-toed left front paw swept out, seeking to snatch Drachen’s right front leg around the ankle, with hopes of gaining a grip to jerk the older wolf’s foreleg under himself and flip him onto his right side with the shove given from his shoulder.
Lyr, croaking in excitement, circled above the match, eyes flicking over the four wolves and, like Cairo’s owl and Mandrill friends, waited for a good opening in which to be useful.
Ardyn Adravendi and Cairo vs Caelia and Drachen for Spar
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.
