    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

    In the umbral gloom of twilight, a strange creature cantered over the crest of a hill and into the Field proper.  Her baroque body was black as the coming night, the coat glistening back the icy color of the emerging stars.  Though only a yearling, she shows the promise of being a large horse.  Kladruby and Friesian lines have combined to make a nimble, if heavy bodied horse with a fluttering mane and tail.  Neck arching as she moves into a gallop, the long forelock flies away from her face to reveal a wide purple blaze that glows faintly in the gloom. 

    When she reaches near the center of the massive crossroads, her large limbs slow and she comes to a stop, snorting out a plume in the chill of the evening air.  Mist crept down from the Valley and coated the grass with a thin layer of amorphous white tendrils.  A thrill went through Lantern's body as she considered that they were like the grasping fingers of the dead.  Rather than frightened, she was intrigued and began lifting her heavy, feathered hooves only to drop them into the gathering mist.  As each hard hoof struck the damp grass, the mist would flee from her before swirling back into place, making her squeal with delight.  A teenager of sorts, she felt invincible as she called out into the darkness, "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

    Now she must only wait and see who or what might come.  Perhaps ghosts with tattered hides, or imps and demons, or maybe just another nocturnal horse with a spirit of adventure to match her own.  Her heart thudded in her breast as she gazed into the full dark of night, the sliver of moon reflected in her black eyes.
