Spring was slowly creeping into the world, and the king breathed a sigh of pleasure as he padded through the red rocks. Valhalla had come through the winter with new members – though he wasn’t certain if Torben would be a permanent citizen or move on eventually – and no deaths.
Spring brought another year to his and his siblings’ lives in particular, and he’d made note to go on an herb gathering foray with Legacy and Noelle to seek out plants to help with the irritants brought by a woman’s birth season. After all, he had not one, but three sisters, and he preferred to keep his siblings happy and less likely to snap his ears off during a mood swing. Good thing they were all sweet-tempered in nature already.
A snuff, a snort, and he was stopped short by a hungry, irritable growl as a gaunt grizzly boar rounded the corner, fresh out of his den from hibernation, and pissy with hunger.
The bear was headed south, toward Valhalla and Aerie, and Ardyn settled into a ready stance, watching the bear and preparing to attack. He wasn’t left waiting long before the grizzly spotted him and charged.
The king twisted to the side as the bear bore down on him, and slashed with unsheathed claws, slicing the bear down to the bone across the right cheek before he bounded away, circling behind the bear as it barreled to a stop and snarled on its way around to face the flame-touched black wolf with his irritating bells tinkling and beads flashing in the weak early spring sunlight.

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.
