The woman’s smell hadn’t quite reached him, but it was her manner of speech that piqued his curiosity. She spoke of herself in the third person, and for a brief beat he almost thought she was someone sent ahead to tell Ardyn of the woman coming to see him.
So this was a new pack that had claimed land in the west? Had this been a takeover of the pack Cassiela had mentioned? Or a challenge he’d been unaware of and hadn’t watched?
“Welcome to leadership. Good neighbors are always pleasant. May I ask what your pack is like?”
He settled back to listen, giving the woman his full attention with a pleasant smile, curious to see what Valhalla might be dealing with from an alpha who spoke – and smelled… - so unconventionally.

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.
