Valhalla had been falling flat on its face. Oftentimes, it felt as though he was the only one hunting, the only one patrolling. The only wolf trying, other than his mother, Cairo, Taliesyn, Eramaya, and Legacy. He’d have hoped the Pirates’ raid would have helped shake some energy into the pack.
He huffed a soft snort through his nose, shaking away the ember of anger as he leaped to the boulder, freshly cleaned armor creaking softly as he took a seat on the stone. It had to be some failing of his own that had the pack so dormant, and he’d try his best to remedy it.
He had something he hoped might kindle their interest and excitement, aside from the festival on the horizon. It was a late-autumn event, in the end, but it would happen soon.
He sent a long, loud howl into the sky, an unmistakable call to war, and let the call rattle the hills and plains grasses as he lowered his muzzle, scanning the plains. He and Medusa had made the agreement just last week, so she had enough time to rattle the hocks of her pack, and he could get Valhalla rolling.

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.
