Lyr had been patrolling the skies and spotted the raiding party headed their way maybe thirty minutes prior to Sparrow’s call at the wall. The raven was quick, reporting to each of the flighted companions on his way to Ardyn.
Ardyn chose to not alarm quite yet, instead donning his armor and bracers, beads and bells and feathers removed and set aside for later on. Lyr had already sent the word on to the rest of the pack while Ardyn prepared and he could hear others getting ready to respond to the raiders. As he left the hillock, he sounded a short howl to battle.
For those who joined him on his way to meet the call, he stated firmly, “Meet their energy. No maims unless they attempt to maim you.”
Lyr rejoined him, messages delivered, while Lunira and Sädir flanked him at either side.
Once he arrived, Ardyn wasted no time on small-talk or greetings, instead aiming to barrel out of the grasses on Sparrow’s left at a controlled sprint, veering slightly to his own left and aiming to slam his right shoulder into Sparrow’s left side behind the shoulder-blade, taking note of her spiky bits as he sought to knock her off balance.
His defenses had slipped into place as he’d charged, and he kept a close watch on the woman as he aimed a snap of his jaws for the left side of her face, seeking to snag her left cheek in his front teeth without catching her with his sabers. It was also a ploy to get her to pull back.
He’d ordered the raid and she was delivering, but he had no desire to accidentally maim the woman, even though he was defending his home.

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.
