Aurielle Adravendi |
With eight pups in the pack, it was time to hold a small puppy training session. While her own were half-grown and already into Promisehood in the pack, and Justice’s three were young, it would still be useful to have the mixture of ages and experience. Her pups knew plenty enough to guide their younger packmates and they’d be able to practice together.
Lee and Amorielle were down with a cold, but Aurielle would catch the two girls up on what they’d missed. With a hum of breath, she padded to a wide clearing, Ardyn ghosting her steps like a big, fiery black shadow. He’d been contrite since his brawls with the bears. She’d given the large boy a thorough dressing down for his recklessness. He possessed a streak of daring she wasn’t certain she’d had at his age.
On one paw, she was proud that he’d leapt to the defense of a fellow wolf. He’d brought the bear down, cut off a threat to Valhalla and local loners. On the other paw, her motherly instincts screeched and pulled at their manes, wailing that he could have been killed! He could have had his face swiped off with one swat of a bear-paw.
In the end, she could only give him the dressing down, and then a butchering lesson on bear anatomy. Again. She cast a glance over her shoulder at him, eyes touching over the fresh wounds over his shoulder, baring the dark skin under his black coat. His glowing blood was an enigma she’d never expected when she’d battled to bring him into the world. It was something she couldn’t explain, though she imagined religious fanatics might suggest he was a demigod or a god reborn.
He tripped over his own front paws, having been distracted by a dragonfly buzzing past his nose, and she hid a snort of amusement. God of sunlight, fire, and clumsiness. No. He was simply a wolf, a boy with a reckless streak of daredevil thrills. Like her, he was simply born differently, and he’d merely inherited her glowing and shimmering coat, though in different colors. His paws might have come from Red’s side, since Aoife had them too, and the canines were, of course both parents’ doing. The mane and tail hair were her mark, though.
Finally she settled in the clearing, haunches lowering as she lifted her muzzle and sang for the pups of Valhalla.

At first glance, Aurielle's coat is pure white.. Her fur has an iridescent quality (like moonstones) where the fur shimmers different colors under various angles of light: in this case, the colors shown by rainbow moonstones. Not one hair on her hide is a solid unnatural color, but, ya know, it's really hard to convey that in still art :P
Aurielle's English is heavily laden with an Irish, Swedish mixed accent.
Her family is allowed to crash all her threads, Private and Open.
As of Autumn Year 14, Aurielle glows with a bright blue-white bio-luminescence in her fur, and bears a marking over her left eye - see profile and reference.

Coran had stopped in his practiced fighting maneuvers when he heard mom’s call. This would be perfect! Coran was a cream blur as he rushed to try and be the first to reach mom. He found himself a bit behind Kaija who was also racing to get there. Coran tried to pick up his pace but he couldn’t manage it well enough. He arrived about 30 seconds after her. He wasn’t surprised to see Ardyn there and next to mom. |

Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi |
Ardyn had indeed been keeping his head down since his battle with the brown bear in Ulfr’s defense. He knew his mother was at least halfway proud that he’d thrown caution to the winds – all four of them – to defend a fellow wolf, but the other half would have preferred it if he’d sent Chrystal winging away as fast as the owl could go and kept his distance until the adults could come.
He tripped as a loudly buzzing insect zipped in front of his face, caught off guard with his deep thoughts, and he was pretty sure he caught the muffled snort from ahead as his mother led him to the activity of the day. Finally, he took a seat near his mother, waiting for the rest of the pups to arrive. He grinned as Kaija arrived first, fighting his own sudden wiggles as the younger child’s energy vibrated. She was clearly trying to sit still and be good.
“Hi Kaija! Wanna go exploring later?”
Coran was next, and Ardyn smiled a little ruefully at the honesty, “I’m healed enough to spar. We need a rematch, after all.” He finished with a poke of his pink tongue at his brother as his ink black tail bloomed with fire, blurring into a pattering wag against the ground.

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.

With that thought in mind he made his way towards the call, working as methodically to orient himself on it as ever, and arrived to see his sister, and a few who were all but strangers. Edging in silently and uncomfortably he seated himself beside Kaija and pressed his shoulder gently to hers for a moment in comfort - ostensibly for her comfort, but really for his own. He felt the weight of so many gazes like it was suffocating, and fixed his gaze off to the horizon so he could pretend otherwise.
