He padded to the boulder, stretching and yawning, shaking out the sleep from his limbs and his head. The two big cats shadowed him, and Lyr glided on the air above. It was a frosty, snow-draped morning, and a good day for some fight training.
He slowed to a stop in the gathering ground and went through his stretches and a few test moves, warming up before he tipped his head up and howled for the pack, leaving the invitation open ended, a playful note to the call. It was a nice butt-crack of dawn morning for a spar, maybe even a practice melee, or a mock raid between the pack members who were able to fight.
They’d just have to see how it went and who would show up. For all he knew, it’d devolve into a play-time session with racing and tag and tackling. It’d certainly be great for moods.

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.
