    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

    Oh, it was a day for a ‘venture. Kali could feel it in her bones, tickling underneath her skin, dancing in her belly like flutteries trapped inside and trying to get out. She’d felt it the first time Daddy had taken her across the water, teaching her how to walk on top like him and Khari could do, and Kylie too. They’d had such fun, and met a new friend and ever since, those happy little flutteries would tell her when it was time to go ‘sploring.

    Except most times she brought Daddy too, or Khari, or even both. But today, Daddy and Khari were off somewhere doing secret boy things, and Kali was too little and a girl so she didn’t get to go with. Which was just silly. Girls could do anything boys could do, Mommy said so, and Daddy even said she was right. So fine. If she didn’t get to go on their ‘venture, she’d go on her own!

    The water was too high to take Mommy or Papa Reilly with, and Kylie was sad about something and Kali didn’t want a sad ‘venture. So she sneaked away, telling Mommy she was gonna to play with Papa Reilly. Which she would! It wasn’t a lie! She just...um, would maybe take a while to GET there was all! Peeking over her shoulder to make sure nobody was looking, she bounced off the beach and onto the water, hopping from wave to wave and stealing away to the mainland.

    Hmm. If she went up, up, up and around the shore, she could probably find the pretty lake Daddy and Khari took her to, the one where her shiny new friend lived with the pretty colors and the pretty scales. But no, today was a day for a new ‘venture, so she went the other way, following the water into a funny, jaggedy little bay and then up a river. Oooh, and rivers were fun, but maybe more fun going the way they were flowing. Which meant going home was gonna be lots of fun, right? Right! Still, running upstream was hard work, and it wasn’t long ‘til Kali was huffing and puffing and angling toward shore. When she got there, she gasped for breath and flopped over, breathing hard and grinning up at the big blue sky.

    Probably she’d just need a minute or two to catch her breath, and then she’d see what that tingly fluttery feeling was about, yeah? Just a teensy minute of panting, of burning lungs and burning legs, and then she’d drag herself back to her feet to ‘splore.
