    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    History

    Partook in a quest which found her trapped in a stone tower with a shadow foal. The shadow foal possessed her body momentarily and she defeated it with her kindness and refusal to succumb to the spirit's efforts to bring her to despair. The shadow foal screeched so loudly when it was torn from her body that it left her partially deaf, however it left its wings behind as well. (http://www.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?action=read&id=1320973373&user=beqannaquest&page=2)

    Her parents are former rulers of the Dewdrop Deserts. Anleifr was groomed solely for the role of becoming king; Eiffel was an orphaned filly who befriended the young prince as they learned to fly together. Over the course of their lives together, Anny and Eiffel only had two children: Anleifr's firstborn son, Harking, who died in battle with Siegos, a stallion from the Chamber of Evil who presented the cardinal-colored wings of Harking to the evil ruler of the time; and Pond, a filly who was perhaps guarded too closely by her mother and yet not closely enough to wander off and encounter the questing fairies in her tender youth.

    Since then, she has simply been tended carefully by the magics of the land and returns now, still a filly and baffled by the changes and new faces of a world she once knew.

    Recently partook in another quest with Tir the Teacher concerning knowledge of history, health, and grammar. She was awarded the second winning grade of her class and was awarded the teacher's sympathy and a choice of solid wings or wingless flight. Despite the grim nature of her shadow wings (which she does not yet understand), she chose flight without wings. Somehow, parting with the intangible wings on her shoulders felt wrong but she longed for the ability of flight that the rest of her immediate family possessed.

    From the fairies of beqanna (and Elvin's birthday gift trait of 2018) she was also granted Immortality in order to preserve her childish joy and kindness forever as times around Beqanna had begun to grow somewhat more chaotic.

    During a foray with her friend Vulgaris, she and the viperus stallion encountered a group of foals playing near the river. A day or two later, Pond met with Vulgaris again only to discover the corpse of a colt that had been eaten...one of the foals from the group they had encountered before. Vulgaris managed to convince Pond it was her fault the colt had died and Pond, still naive with youth, believed him.

    As of now, Pond's shadow wings are visible and somewhat darkened, almost like the shadow of sunlight through thin white curtains. As Tir the Teacher said, her wings will likely never become tangible enough for her to use in real flight, however Vulgaris seems intent to prove that theory wrong. Pond fell ill with the Beqanna-wide Plague and expressed symptoms of coughing and general frailty. She encountered Rajanish who used his disease acceleration to further weaken her and took advantage of her overly-friendly nature and diminished health. The next spring, she gave birth to Oaks. However, the pregnancy was difficult on her due to the colt carrying the same disease acceleration as his father, though he had no control over the power. Even before his birth, the foal often caused Pond's health to deteriorate. As a result of this (and the fact that Oaks looks much like his sire), Pond tends to avoid spending much time with him. This saddens her, however, because of her tender heart and desire to bring happiness to everyone in her life. This has caused a mild depression in the young mare and has added a little more darkness to her shadow wings since she believes that she has caused her only son harm by neglecting him.
