    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

    - Are you thinking of me when you love him? -

    God, the sound of her voice is enough to have him apologizing for her mistakes. She was just being a sass; why did he always have to be so testy? “Because you’re a fucking jealous twit.” He reminds himself with a single thought, biting back a grimace when Wishbone gracefully compliments his abilities. The bay mare had every right to be surprised - she’d been groomed for her throne, Bane had stumbled into his.

    “I’m not sure your fragile heart could handle how high those prices get.” Bane chuckles waywardly, glancing over the white curve of one wing to see the Khaleesi flip her sun-kissed hair. He can’t help himself from reaching out to stroke her ribs with the very tips of his feathers, an immoral smirk painting itself onto his face. “Unless you’re ready for children.” The drake shrugs, glancing towards Wishbone with a look that belied he wasn’t entirely opposed.

    Before she can answer, Wolfbane darts ahead to take the lead and avoid any stray teeth. The sound of his chuckle follows behind, echoing against the solid wall of bedrock to their right side. Having passed the grassy knolls and wandered into the mesa of Loess, there seems to be nothing out this far - only the occasional scrub and this landmark, towering impossibly high above them. On his first flight he’d discovered the sky-high clump of spires (not that you could really miss it)  but it hadn’t been until his fifth or sixth that he’d found a way to approach it’s hidden secrets on foot.

    “Hope those volcano climbing days haven’t left you yet ...” The fanged stallion smiles, raising the wing nearest the wall before pushing himself flush against the rock. For a second the pegasus looks like he’s rising without flight but it’s not that at all - there’s a thin ledge jutting out from the wall, and Bane has started climbing the incline as if it were a staircase.

    The ascent isn’t really for the faint of heart or the clumsy sort, given that it could hardly be called a pathway. Every now and then there seems to be a break in the natural ramp, where they have to reach across an empty divide or even push themself to hop, but the stone holds without protest and before long only the wind whips at their eyes and a narrow passageway waits ahead. Bane leads the Leviathan Queen through, to the other side.

    From up here, Wishbone could finally see what he discovered that very first day: the spires that one could see from afar on the ground were clustered around and broken up by a myriad of rainbow-colored pools, levelling down to the center of the landmark where a black hole steamed angrily. “This is the source of all the Loessian springs.” Bane breaths heavily, a tinge of sulphur in the air around them. Steam coats him like beads of crystalline sweat, trickling down the subtle curves of his shoulders and chest as he steps into the nearest water.

    “The blueish ones are fine to touch, the rest I wouldn’t recommend.” He smiles eagerly, glancing back to hungrily watch Bone move. “I come here to escape and most nights, sleep.”
