    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

    There was a twinkle to her smile, a light trill to her voice, the naivety of youth. He'd been there once too, long ago, when his whole world was one big silly adventure, damn the consequences. All a...

    Like distant stars illuminating a cloudless night sky, the mountain began to twinkle. Tiny orbs of soft light flickering into existence. Their glow illuminating a dark path which wound up and up. It s...

    With each breath his costume tightened. Compressing and constricting and squishing. Uncomfortable at first, like a nagging itch, but then it built into something akin to fire. It burned. The materia...

    "No." He growled, gruff and guttural as he regarded her with his pupil-less orange eyes. Her spring and summer smile one he did not return. Instead she would find the opposite of those flowers threa...

    Under the blanket of darkness he woke, eyes snapping open as the riddle funnelled through his ears. And as the voice spoke his body acted. A strange sensation pulsing through him as he moved without...

    Once, a very long time ago Etojo would have shown more restraint. But the deepest parts of the forest had changed him wild. The change ran deeper than flesh, it was all of him, flesh and mind. He'd ...

    Etojo had spent the day in the shallows, trawling over mud, sticks and pebbles, where the icy water didn't surge so fierce. Below he watched on as little river fish pooled at his ankles, too small t...

    He hadn’t meant to fall into this game. But for a wonderful moment, so fleetingly brief, he thought he’d won. There was a shift in her expression, subtle, but gone was the mockery. He watched her...
