    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

    [complete]  Event 2 Task 2
    #2
    They are just beginning to get restless, waiting for their next task, when she reappears; and the tasks re-commence with no hesitation. The Goddess sends them onto an intricate map of their world, and sets them a task in the past.

    But this isn’t right - this isn’t the Beqanna of the past. Too much has changed. Belgaer remembers his father’s stories, his mother and father’s <i>world</I> of before, and he concentrates on what he remembers. The eight Kingdoms - but no, it would be even further back than that. Back to when Beqanna began, before Brennen and Galilee; back to when there were only a few Kingdoms, separated by how they felt about the world; this is the history he dives into, watching the stories of ancient myths unfold before his eyes like fairy tales told to children before bedtime. And here he finds his answers, and fights his way free of the history. It’s like swimming hard, upstream, but finally he stands before Nike again in the here-and-now.

    <b>“Lone Star and Banat er Rih were the first two,”</b> he says though he is exhausted almost past making words. <b>”And then Prelude was the third.”</b>
