    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

    THE END
    The colt is the first to return, dropping the white flower on their mountain with a short apology. They admire his speed and his innocent recovery from the nightmare; perhaps he will remember it later, or perhaps he will choose to forget. It will probably be harder to forget if he claims the prize they offer him, but maybe it would be worth it. @[Nocturne], the first to return, can choose either Dryad Shapeshifting or Plant Manipulation.


    Four more are close on his heels. @[Rouhi] with the orange flower, @[Ferran] with the yellow, @[naia] with the pink, and @[luster] with the red. Rouhi is obviously affected by the dream-flower, but his joy at success is uplifting for all of them. The girl in her wolf form is bold with her challenging stare, but they would expect little else from a wolf; even a part-time wolf, and they are not offended. The black and gold filly is suffering from more than just the emotional pain of the dream; this pain and sacrifice is perhaps even more than they needed, and they soothe it temporarily with a brief touch. The twilight-touched girl is the calmest, though her heart beats fast within her chest, and she brings a sense of ease to the urgency that had led them all here. The flowers are swept into the breeze and vanish into the group of fairies who are once more there. In return, they are offered gifts as well. They may choose between Tactile Hypnosis, Flora Revival, or Dream Teleportationh.


    But the young fairy steps past the successful journeyers, and turns soft eyes to those who had not succeeded. @[Ruan], @[wander], @[GODBEAR], and @[Ilma] come to the mountain to see if the overall quest has succeeded, and she is aware of @[Y'Kira] far below in the meadow which is withered now, but will bloom again (less robust, but not less brilliant). "Nobody would have succeeded if all did not try," she says quietly, "Your sacrifices were important also." Gently, and so briefly, she touches each of them in turn and then the fae are gone as if they have never been, and all know that sometime soon they will be called again, to undertake some challenge in the last of the lands that had been brought back. These five participants are awarded the trait Flowers, or some other 0-space relevant appearance trait if approved by the officers. They may keep this trait or let it fade away after a year.
    fair winds & good luck

    My phone hates me and I’m sorry if anyone was super excited about it - it should be dream teleportation as a second place option not dream manipulation.
