    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

Let go. Let me go!" I scream, kicking violently.  Gripping my flank it pulls me deeper into the darkness.  My efforts to go forward are met with pain and to no avail I am thrusted into a small nook in the cavern wall.  My hooves scrape on bare rock as I lift myself back up.  Eyes frantically shift to find what has captured me.  Seeing only darkness.  I see nothing but rock walls in all other directions.  I pause and look forward.  No iron clad bars contain me so upon seeing no reason to stay, I motion forward.  

    Met with a demonic tsk I stop.  Eyes straining to see beyond the shadows.  My gut screams for me to run but my mind overrides my natural instinct.  Onyx ears lay flat as I lash out, "What do you want from me?" It was a question anyone would ask in the given situation.  I glance about, awaiting an answer. Blood trickled down my hindquarters and pools at my hoof.  The pain was numbed by fear, three deep gashes ran across the length of my hip.  Whatever had dragged me in had left a permanent mark.  I twist my nape so I can view the injury.  As I look a cackle rises from the shadows.  Such a shame, it tsks to me again.  Returning my gaze , a beast emerges.  Canine like, its hunched on all fours. Blood stained fangs dripped froth from it's jaws.  It's smaller than me and looking to me with expressionless sockets.  Claws scraping along the rocks as it moves nearer.  I snort in protest, striking out at it with my forelimb.  "Get away from me!" I demand.  It seems to grin at my protest before it begins shifting...

    The scruffy grey fur slicks against it's body, claws become singular and cresent shaped.  It's begins to grow taller, straighter.  Legs lengthen, along with neck and soon it is canine no more.  Standing in my way is something much similar to myself. Taking a step back, my rump presses against the back wall.  Dynast, he calls to me.  I want to answer but my voice is stolen from me.  I am Carnage. Do you want to play a game with me? He asks.  My insides scream no but somewhere inside me, a hesitant yes escapes my lips.  He grins wickedly and leans into my ear... Run, he whispers in challenge. 

     With no thought process I leap forwards.  Brushing past the shape shifter and knocking into a wall.  My hooves scramble to gain momentum again.  I head in the direction I believe I entered.  The winding tunnel seemed longer than before, never ending.  Everything was a blur and just when a light came into view I heard a growl echo from behind me.  It was back, I thought, so I ran faster...

    The light was blinding, closing my eyes, I broke out from the darkness within the cave.  Upon reopening them, the world isn't how I had left it.  Laying before me was no longer a thick tangle of tree and brush, but a desolate wasteland.  The soil was grainy, unsustainable for most flora to survive.  It seemed to be a valley, long and narrow.  Cliffs of sand rose on either side, too steep to climb.  A small creek twisted along one side.  I hadn't realized I stood frozen in place until a voice coos from behind me, You do not know this place Dynast but it is very much a part of you, as it is of me.  The greyed stallion motions to the distance.  I match his gaze to the horizon.  Making out a gathering of equines, four two be exact.  Two adults, two children.  

    The pair teleport nearer and I can see now the finer details.  Two colts stand, watching as a dark dappled stallion rips flesh from the other.  Piece by piece until blood stains the sands.  I gasp in realization of who it is, "Mother!" I yell but my words fall on deaf ears.  I gather my limbs under me, rushing to her side. Again he rips into her flesh, What do you see boys? Will your mother bleed out? A satisfied grin cuts across his lips and my eyes - filled with rage - look into his face for the first time.  My eyes are met with the same blood red.  Again I gasp as I piece together what was happening.  My gaze shifts to the colts forced to watch their mother, my mother, being ripped apart.  They plead for him to stop.  One in particular catches her eye.  A colt similar to me in color and markings but with icey blue eyes and silver locks like the stallion.  My brother... I question myself but the voice of the grey stallion confirms my thoughts, Yes Dynast.  And that is your father.  I round the group, unaware that I exist.  It is nothing but a piece of a bigger puzzle.

    A single tear streams from my eye as all I can do is watch.  What do you wish to do Dynast? He taunts me.  All the emotions within me boil as my eyes lock onto the blood red of my Father's.  "End this," I nearly growl.  Teeth clenched as every muscle in my body tensed.  As you wish... He coos with a hint of amusement.  The ground shifts, cracking the entire length of the land.  Water seeps from the crack, gushing into the valley. "Wait! Whats happening?! What did you do?" I look to Carnage then to my family.  As more fills in, the turbulent force captures anything in it's path.  Watching in horror as my family scatters.  It doesn't take long before the water reaches them and is pulling them under.  The colts are easily succumbed to the depths as I cry out to them. "Stop. Please!" She pleads.  This is what you wished for Dynast. Come. Watch. He cackles, rising them above the waters.  Quickly the rushing waves capture the stallion then the mare.  For sometime they fight against the currents taking them under but the outcome is inevitable.  I watch as the land and everything in it is consumed to the depths.  My family, gone with it.  

    The water begins to drain into the crack in which it came.  I can do nothing but watch helplessly.  He returns me to the grey sands and disappears.  I am left to call to my family.  I know they are gone but I cry out to them anyways.  I had lost them before and now I had killed them all.  My front knees collapse as I tremble.  What have I done?  Exhausted I nearly fall over, but then a rumble comes from behind me.  I muster whatever strength I have left to stand again.  Scarlett eyes shift to see the canine from the cavern licking it's chops.  It snaps the air, mock lunging at me.  I jolt.  There was a burning inside me as I feel the tentacles sliding down my neck and hocks.  My eyes glow a burning red as I stare down the hellhound before me.  Ebony ears flattened atop my cranium.  "Not this time," I mutter under my breath.  Swinging my rump to the creature my tail of tentacles hit it in the face.  I hear a yelp as they send pulsating shocks of pain into it.  Pairing it with a swift kick to it's chest, I wasn't going down without a fight.  Not this time.

    The dog scrapes at it's face with it's claws.  Ridding itself of the few that had stuck into it's fur.  It was enough of a distraction to give me a head start.  In the valley there is only one way to go and I go it, as quickly as my legs will take me.  There is a glow ahead and I squint to shield my eyes.  A now distant howl echoes throughout the wasteland.  I snort in satisfaction as I now slow.  Looking out across a much different terrain now.  It's almost peaceful here... An oasis if you will</p></div><div class="dynast_name"></div> <div class="dynast_quote"></div> <img class="dynast_image" src="http://footage.framepool.com/shotimg/qf/960006557-bioluminescence-tentacle-animal-jellyfish-transparent.jpg"> </div> </center>

    Monsters: her past(father specifically) and Carnage-hound.
    Brand: three clawed gashes on her left flank

    Carnage presents himself as a wolf type creature and himself.  Using her family to emotionally torment her by killing them in the sinking of Pangea, making it seem as though she did it.
