    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

    The dream-horns atop his head are strange; their weight is foreign to him but not burdensome. He thinks he could get used to them, just like his mother did. She dreamt hers’ into existence then kept t...

    He thinks nothing of the sort! Not mad or daft; just odd and all the more lovely for it. It could be argued that oddities like herself were rare in this realm, and he’d argue so because for all the sh...

    Summer found them content and happy, falling out of war and into love. He could taste it all in the favor of their dreams. Sometimes, it evoked a pang of longing in him and roused the memory of dark a...

    He cannot shake the dark eyes that haunt him — Everywhere he looks, they wear her eyes - dark and mysterious. It no longer matters if the face is a mix of navy and moonlight; only that the shape is...
