    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

    Dawn has always dreamed of kingdom life, but who could imagine that she would eventually find her way to one? The golden girl—now blossoming into a pretty young woman—was raised on tales of the kingdoms of old and new, and though her mother no longer resides within a kingdom, Dawn has always felt that irresistible pull. Perhaps she is too much like a youthful version of her mother, who was always drawn back to the Valley where she was raised, but the little bear doesn’t mind being like her mother. Cress has taken care of herself all of these years—Dawn can only hope to be like her one day (if only she knew!).  
     
    She remembers her Sunny once telling her about the kingdom in which he lived, and it had all sounded just so wonderful to the girl. Hyaline, it’s called, and the way he described it (in jerking, halting words, but words all the same!) it had sounded like heaven. Besides, who wouldn’t want to live with their best friend? It is true that it had taken him a long time to speak around her, but the two have been fast friends since the day they met on the Playground. She had begged her mother to let her join the kingdom with him, but it had taken her until Cress had decided she was old enough to live on her own. Parents. 
     
    So now she is here, standing on the edge of a crystal-clear lake. Literally, it’s crystal clear—she can see right down to the lake floor. Deeper into the lake she can see the shapes of trees that sank years before her time and she can’t help but draw in an amazed breath as she takes it all in. 
     
    However, now is not the time to explore. She’ll explore later, once she has located Sunny. He had promised to meet her here once she was finally able to escape her mother’s clutches, and she’s going to take his word for it that this is where they’ll meet. “Oh, Sunny,” she calls in a singsong voice, knowing that he is the only one—aside from Clayton, who, unbeknownst to her, is also here—who will recognize the nickname. She is just so excited.

    I kept my hope just like i'd hoped to
    then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue

    Just as she bloomed into a pretty young woman, he blossomed into a handsome young man. In the consistent stability of his Hyaline home, the prince has found plenty of opportunity to grow and learn (though some might call his learning rather foolish and lovestruck). But aside from his childish dabbling in the realm of romance, he's been finding other ways to occupy himself, too - visiting the field and partaking in social events, clambering about with his siblings and gobbling up every teaching that mothers have to give.

    In spite of these busy proceedings, he always finds time to sneak away and visit Dawny.

    Ever since their first monumental meeting in the playgound nearly two years ago (incidentally, also when he met Clayton, a boyfriend of Will's), the two have remained fast friends. So fast in fact that Rhae has never thought of the polar-bear shifter the way he thinks of Ivy or Kensa or Chryseis (or others) - no, with Dawny, his sole focus is on how perfectly himself he can be with her. Because of the young age she found him in, the prince has grown up with a trust in the girl so profound that the two can speak freely with one another.

    The boy smells her before he hears her call - and he's racing around the bend of the mountain's base just as she sings his nickname. A triumphant whinny slips delicately from Rhae's grinning lips as his best friend comes into sight. It's like a dream come true! He'd told her practically everything there was to know about Hyaline twice, but seeing her materialized on the lake's edge makes that almost meaningless. He wants to show her EVERYTHING!

    Barely pulling up in time, the pegasus throws open his wings in such a way that his forelegs come off the earth, reaching eagerly to encircle Dawny's shoulders as he twists his neck to grab a mouthful of her ear and mane for no other reason than because he loves her. Too giddy to stay in such a precarious position for long, the buckskin boy dislodges himself from her just to bump into her with his chest again, totally and absolutely unable to contain himself. His BEST FRIEND is here!

    "Dawny, Dawny, Dawny, you're finally here!" He pauses with an air of melodrama that only a mute could muster, staring at her gravely, mouth partially opened to emphasize the importance of what he is about to say. "Are you.... staying? Please tell me you're staying! I have SO much to show you!"
