Her eyes snapped open at his voice, but the skeletal-marked woman didn’t rise from her sprawl on the ground. Her contradictory explanation came out in her usual way of speaking, and he nodded seriously, humoring her, though his head tilted curiously as she added that she was practicing.
Well, he’d come here to practice, himself. Perhaps going up against Medusa would be a good test to get an idea of what she was like to fight, if ever their two packs were forced to come to blows and a war ensued. Although, given that she seemed to have worn herself out with prior fights, he didn’t know if it would be a fair assessment.
“Are you up for one more practice round? I came out to test myself against outside wolves.”

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.
