    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

    He had been acutely aware of the pain that came with his death - the way his own blood splattered against the walls of their forest cave and seeped into the wet stone - the way he gasped for air but c...

      Simple. But, even in his true form he was a man of few words (now a man of even fewer).  The curious glint in her eye stirs a longing in him - a desire to steal that shine to add to the halls...

        Simple as the raven may be, it is still a greedy, beady eyed creature. This one in particular has stolen the soul of a stallion. The bird took over slowly at first - feathers bursting through...
