With Coran’s agreement, Ardyn smiled and slid off into the grasses and underbrush, moving slowly and downwind of the stag, eyes flicking up now and then to track Lyr as he maneuvered into position. He was bare of his usual ornaments, thankfully, since those would have given him away in an instant with their clinking and tinkling noises.
It felt good to hunt with his family again. He hadn’t had many chances to hunt with his brother, mostly with his sisters. Where were they at? He hadn’t caught a scent of any of them since his return. Lyr had sent friends out to catch news of them, though, so it shouldn’t be long before they heard back. Ravens were excellent grapevine gossips.
Finally, he slid into position, peering through the bushes at the stag, and then beyond him to the faint glimpse of Coran’s pale coat across the clearing.
All was in place, so he glanced up at Lyr and nodded. Ready
The glowing raven croaked thrice.

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.
