    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

I am the blood of a dragon.</p><p class="drac3_message">“You will know what you ask for, seeking to trade protection for strength.”

    Dracarys remembers the @[Wysteria Fairy] telling her. The words are burned into her mind, a memory she cannot shake from. She is haunted by the words of the fairy.

    The world she had known, coming to the mountain for the first time, was no longer the same. She had known what it was to be ice and fire then, but now she is not quite sure what it means. The world had not offered her what she thought she was meant to have. It gave her something quite different.

    Her life had shifted in many ways after leaving the mountain. The blue mare had every intention of completing her quest to become a dragon. However, the hurdles of her life recently had troubled her. Dracarys had second guessed every aspect of the world and who she was becoming. She questioned the morals and values her parents had taught her as well. Learning to find her way in life was not a simple path—it was harder than she had imagined, and it tested her in many ways.

    Dracarys was determined though. Never did the blue splashed mare forget the reason why she had come to the mountain and the quest she was given to complete. She had risked her protection for something deep within her that she desired more than anything now. Though the strength she once had sought was different now.

    She climbs the familiar path of the mountain. Following along the trail that she remembers taking what felt almost a lifetime ago. The autumn winds are strong and brisker up here on the mountain top, but she pushes on remembering why she wanted to become a dragon.

    Eventually, the mountain path opens wider. The rocky surface becomes flatter, though with each step she can feel the ridged earth beneath her. Her silver-blue gaze flickers around the mountaintop, searching for a moment. She can feel her heart beating against her chest. For some reason she was feeling anxious to meet the fairy again.

    “Hello fairy,” she says in greeting into the windy mountaintop. “I hope you didn’t forget about me.” A soft smile touches her lips at the small bit of humor. Dracarys waits for the fairy to appear before continuing.

    “I have learned a lot since I last came here seeking strength.” She pauses for a moment remembering what she almost lost because of her greed to become something more powerful. The events of the last year also come to mind—her father losing the crown, leaving the only home she had, and almost losing her friend. “The protection I wanted to trade for strength was childish. Perhaps even downright foolish of me. I was naïve of the world when I first came here, but now I see the importance of protection. There is a price for everything. Every choice someone makes effects someone else.”

    Dracarys pauses and takes a deep breath. “I risked losing the only friend I have ever made so far in my life in order to find the strength I wanted. My choice effected my friend more than anything. I took away the most important thing to her. The very thing that protected her. However, despite my wrongdoings, my friend understood why I did it and forgave me.” She smiles softly at recalling the memory that happened only days ago. “I should have known all along that there is strength within protection. Dragons are not only strong and mighty, but they are protectors for those who they care for and what they believe in. With this, I have learned now why I truly seek in becoming like a dragon.” The young mare then falls silent, waiting to hear what the fairy would have to say.</p><p class="drac3_quote1"></p></div></div></center>
