He was running a little late, but with all the pack had been through, including himself, he knew his mother wouldn’t punish anyone for lack of punctuality, or probably even outright absence at this time. Legacy was grieving with the Chapter and her mother, but Ime and Kayode had already conveyed to Aurielle that Legacy and her mother would be coming to stay with Valhalla, along with the woman’s remaining pups.
So, he walked with Coran toward his mother’s call. Was it normal to feel so old, when so young? Was the feeling going to fade or would he always feel aged?
The two brothers arrived to find only Drachen and Lee arrived so far, and Ardyn tucked against his sister’s side with a brotherly nuzzle to her cheek before nodding at his mother and Drachen, glancing over the wound the events had wrought on the man. With as bad as everything had been, perhaps Drachen had been too paranoid to let the lemur or mandrill at Paladin’s side suture the wound. Ardyn knew he’d been half wild with suspicions he’d never felt before through it all.
He sat, tail flipping to keep the long hair from under him as he turned his eyes to the plains, glancing to his mother now and then.
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.
