    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


    hold me in this wild, wild world; Kylin
    #2
    Ischia now is busier than she had ever been since Kylin’s birth. Back then it has basically been just been their family, together with Queen Ea’s family, and a handful of others. Later, when Father claimed Ischia for them as home, it really had just been them. Father, Mother, uncle Reilly, both her siblings, and Badden, who had been adopted into the family.

    Things had instantly changed from the moment Circinae had set foot on the island. With her others came, and the wolf had inspired enough to make Ischia more active, more alive. Kylin had shied away from the navy-green she-wolf, and under Krone’s rule she had tentatively met some others. Met family too. Klaudius, and he had also introduced him to his twins. It had been both wonderful and confronting at once, her own twin, who should have still been at her side, was lacking.

    But now, under Brennen’s rule, Ischia seemed to have gotten even more populated. It is no longer the private island she once knew and although Ischia the island hadn’t changed, Ischia the kingdom has gone through massive changes. Kylin has met a couple of the Brotherhood’s brothers, Takei and Trekori – who ironically are blood brothers too – but she still did not know where she stood with the Brotherhood. Trekori had been right about one thing though; Kylin had not been fully devoted to Ischia’s prior habitants. Not since Circinae had first come. And he had also said there was room for female Brothers. Now all what was left was to make it official, by talking to Brennen.

    Something Kylin has been hesitant about. Something is holding her back. And that definitely is not her desire to leave for Tephra. Just thinking of that makes her heart ache, and her fins tighten against her sides, no longer able to hide the slight swell of her stomach. She misses him. And it crushes her heart that he still chose to leave her, for them. But who was she, to keep him from his family?

    You might expect to find her on the shore facing Tephra, but instead she stands on the shore at the total opposite of that. Her back to the jungle – no dangers coming from there, not in the form of prey hunters – and hooves just a little into the sea. Winter had set in elsewhere, but Ischia’s climate is still pleasant as ever. And thus the water has a nice temperature too. No cold or crisp.

    Her ears flick back towards the sound, then slowly her neck bends a little so she can glance across her shoulder. Just a matter of curiosity, because surely, who would seek out her presence? Surprise is all over her face when Brennen actually calls her name. In a short second, all kinds of different emotions are displayed upon her features; surprise, shock, fear, anxiety and even some levelled excitement. Kylin dips her head in silent greeting, her throat suddenly blocked by a lump. She turns her body around, to face him, as her hazel eyes study his features and body language. Had he come to send her away?

    “Can.. What.. What do I owe the pleasure of... your visit to?"
