It wasn’t the wind that warned him of the wolf in the trees.
Lyr had dropped to perch in the branches of the willows, glowing plumage ruffling and settling as he folded his wings and cocked his head, peering down with one eye at the dark, snow-marked woman at the base.
The raven gave a soft clark-clark of warning and Ardyn turned his head away from the willow fronds he’d been about to reach of and snip with his claws and peer toward the woman, ears perked before he relaxed and nodded casually in greeting.
Her features suggested she was around his mother’s age, and her eyes told him she wasn’t looking for trouble, so he rose on his hind legs, front legs lifting to wrap the willow bough above him in one long-digited paw, the other paw lifting and unsheathing one claw to snick through the flexible wood.
The water coursing through his coat triggered a brilliant display of fiery-gold light, flaring beneath the surface of the water.
He tossed the first bough to the shore as he called pleasantly, “Good day, Lady.”

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.
