Ardyn flashed a grin at Medusa’s response, nodding in agreement. “I look forward to hearing word. Ours should be coming soon at some point.”
The talk turned to business, and Ardyn listened closely as Medusa spoke, nodding slowly in thought. “We have connections with several Chapters of elite healers known as the Nomads. They also deal in trade. I believe most of our healers would be happy to share their knowledge.”
A smile twitched across his lips as he added, “And my front paws make writing and drawing easy. My mother taught me to write, read, and draw, as well as architecture. I’m sure she’d be willing to teach others. She’d wanted to spread Valhalla’s script to other packs, in the event a message needed sent in written form.”
His head tipped in thought, then he added, “As an aside, I’m always looking for chances to keep our raiding skills polished. We recently defended in a practice raid against the Pirates, but have yet to embark on an offensive attack in return. If ever Insomnia wishes to see where the defenses need improved, and vise versa, I’m happy to help. I’d also be keen on interpack hunts for large prey, with each of the packs getting half of the bounty.”
He left off, letting her absorb, and her companions explain anything to her that she might have missed.

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.
