Blazehound

Canine creatures of ember-bright eyes and fur that glows with inner heat. Blazehounds run in packs across the volcanic plains, their pawprints leaving faint scorch marks on loose soil. Their howl carries for miles — a low, resonant sound that the Aries learned to read for warnings of incoming eruptions.

Helle found an orphaned pup in the Ashen Rim and carried it back to Hamal, where it became her constant shadow. Months later, the mother returned and reclaimed the pup. In Mesarthim, the mother brought the pup back — circling Helle, scenting her, then leaving the pup to choose. It chose Helle.

The bond between Helle and her Blazehound became one of the defining stories of the Aries — a reminder that loyalty cannot be forced, only earned.
