    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

    One night, in the birth of winter, a dream is shared between the inhabitants of Beqanna:

    She stands before you, radiant and golden, a wreath of gilded laurels upon her crown, proud wings glowing warmly with an internal light. She is small, but seems to fill all existing space. Though her lips do not move, a voice echoes in your mind, clear as a bell. 
    "I am Nike, Goddess of Victory. I invite you to a great competition. Glory and gifts await those who are strong of Heart, Mind and Body. If you wish to be remembered in the halls of Olympus, convene on this place three days hence. I await you."
    She fades, leaving behind an image of a valley at the foot of the Mountain. Three arenas are arranged within the valley, festooned with banners and outlined with Corinthian columns. Between these stadiums stands a three leveled plinth, on which nine ghostly equine figures stand. They appear monumental and proud. You feel that you could be one of them. 

    Slowly, the dream transitions into pleasant sleep. The next morning you awaken, remembering it perfectly.
