    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

    Post: RE: drowning inside our hearts; shroud

    She is too tired to care that her antics elicit little in the way of a response from him beyond the pinch of his teeth at the nape of her neck. Maybe not that tired to feel the quick flare of pain and...

    Racked by palsy-like tremors, shortness of breath, nosebleeds and a cough that rattles her bones; the sabino is not fit for much. She exists; drifting through the forest like a thin plagued wraith wit...

    The quiet consumes her; eats at her from the inside out as she swallows back a bevy of coughs that threaten to ruin it. She’ll no disturb the quiet like so, though she is every inch a disturbance - a ...

    Post: RE: drowning inside our hearts; shroud

    Shroud expects no pity - only pain, the kind that he is so good at administering and the kind that she craves wantonly. She also knows that the plague will offend him but he will not cast her away; he...

    Snow and stars, snow and stars. Bits of breezes that tease of balmier days and flowers. Trickles of snowmelt and mud underfoot, that slide and suck at small hooves. She does not pull her legs higher f...

    Post: RE: drowning inside our hearts; shroud

    Shroud nestled into his side, as close as she could get without arousing his ire. She had learned his lessons fast but still felt a modicum of something for him as he’d gone from stranger to savior in...

    Blood has caked and crusted around her nostrils. She is wracked by cough and fatigue, and fever is hot on her heels. This is punishment in the form of plague - punishment for her part in unleashing th...

    Shroud knows that she must tiptoe a delicate line with him - too far to either side is to court punishment. The kind that is sure to be swift and violent. She remains meek enough between the press of ...

    Post: RE: they all go into the dark; ALL

    Shroud was sleeping beneath the tree when the dream changed to a god-made vision - - FIND HIM. KILL HIM. KILL HIM. KILL HIM. NOW. The urgency is not lost upon even her child’s brain that fire...

    Shroud is as grave and still as the dead.  Her eyes fail to leave him in their cautious perusal for signs of acceptance or expectation. The shuttering of lid over eye in a slow blink or the sudden ...

    Shroud has not been taught fear. Has not suffered a harsh bite or sharp kick. No ounce of meanness has been fostered inside her newborn heart. She knows what dead smells like though, and that somethin...

    The child shivers; She is an inelegant newborn thing that is all legs and sharp jutting angles. It will be a few years until she grows into a self that promises to be small and darting like a shadow. ...
