    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

    All of it has slowly been washed away with the gentle caress of the tides. The spotted woman had grown fat in his absence. She had quietly suffered, the pain and contractions, alone in the darkness with only the pale moon to comfort her as she lay on the salty shores of Ischia.

    The mare, so bold, had believed she could find the ginger man but in the midst of that night, a small spotted boy lay at her side as the ocean's water gentle licked at his heels, small head raised silently as he wobbled to understand the very actions of his birth.

    Time passes willingly and unwillingly. The mare had remained in Ischia amongst the jungle and wildlings with her buckskin son. Dark eyes watch him grow strong like his father, beautiful and untouchable, the essence of their union. But in time, her faith is lost in the red man. He is gone, surely moved on to the next little pet to tease and toy with but in the end, Marlyn is better off. The boy, named Porter is growing more handsome and smart every day. Marlyn has learned he possess something very special.

    Beqanna works in mysterious ways.

    On this day, dark eyes watch as the boy learns to breathe beneath the water's surface. He is scared, golden amber eyes large and white ringed. His mother coos to calm him as she breathes slowly, speaking gently as she hold him with her mind to ease his discomfort and willing to bring him to the surface at a moment's notice. "In and out, Porter, in and out." He understands and trusts her and leaps without looking. At first he chokes and coughs before his body naturally begins to function as he is intended. Sea life scurry from the pair as the horses remain below the currents.

    Marlyn smiles wide and proud at her spotted boy. The sunlight ripples across them as the water laps gentle by the breeze. The darkness of Marlyn's mane extends like a banner as her child gains confidence in his abilities, smiling and laughing in a bellow of bubbles, but something catches his attention and he looks past his mother to see a creature drifting along the waters. "Hello?" The young boy's voice asks within the mind of the other. It had not taken long for Porter to discover his ability to speak with marine life. Marlyn twists her head over her shoulder to catch sight of a flashing red beast. What animal dared to happen upon the mare and her child now?

    ...a stupid one, surely.
