    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

    so since the other thread was getting dated, I figured a new thread would be okay? let me know if you want me to continue the other one too. <33


    MUNROE.
    The wild child was a walking conundrum really. He had always been an independent child. He was oft times exploring the mysteries that the desert had to offer with an unconsciously bold and irrepressible spirit. On the other hand, he relied greatly upon one person. This person was a woman who he refused to relinquish from his hardened grip. Munroe’s spirit remained bolstered by his Ima, no matter what his supposed age dictated.

    But his clinginess wasn’t something he would ever regard as strange. His childhood was anything but normal and his interactions with outsiders remained minimal at most. The young stallion had never had the proper socialization skills to help him expand his fierce, almost possessive, affections onto to other people. Ima was the sole set of shoulders who had to bare the weight of his sometimes heavy emotions.

    Munroe knew he was not the only one whom Ima held close to her heart for she was a loving and giving soul. And so he was want to distance himself sometimes and watch her bestow her affection on others from afar. He found himself incapable of dealing with his sense of unsettledness and childish jealousy. The wild child never really knew how to express himself properly with others besides Ima.

    This explained why when Ima and the winged girl went off from the rest of the kingdom, the wild child trailed curiously after them. He longed to also walk beside them, but he was at a loss as to where his place in this new dynamic would be. He has yet to see the serious boy and the girl who talked to the desert animals. And this winged girl remained completely unknown to him.

    He could admit to himself that he disliked the fact that this girl shared a trait with Ima and it was one which he held dear - those wondrous billowy things which had once cradled and comforted him when he was but a ragged little boy. Munroe remembers their warmth from his recent homecoming and the peace he had found from their embrace. His mind and heart had been put at ease from his long and arduous journey. But it seems his was a troubled life for he never stayed untouched for long.

    The wild child still only remembered flashes of his time during his abduction, but he remained somewhat relieved that perhaps he would not remember it in full. The few flashes he did remember, he did not want to dwell upon. His coat had finally grown out and the garish colors had been replaced by his natural sandy color. All that remained to mark him were curious azure blue swirls which trailed across his hindquarters and rump.

    A couple of happy yips interrupt his current stalking of Ima and the winged girl and hazel eyes fall upon two little fennec foxes. He remembers them fondly; he often played and explored with the pair of mischievous foxes. He smiles freely and reaches down to nudge his foxy friends affectionately.

    Kabechet knew that Munroe had come before her into Mama Yael's heart, and she did not want him to think that she was somehow supplanting him in their adoptive mother's eyes. Thus, she tried not to exclude him from their tiny family gatherings, even as he in turn seemed to want to keep his distance from her. Did he not like her? Was he jealous or hurt that Yael would spend time with another foal? They had not gotten to know each other very well, and she wishes that they had a closer relationship. Maybe this was a good day to change that? When she sees him trailing after them on one of their desert-exploring walks, she offers the buckskin a welcoming smile, hoping he would come closer. Then she notices the pair of little foxes that bounce up to her adoptive brother as if they are old friends with him. She leaves the pegasus mare's side to creep closer to the unusual trio instead now, moving quietly and slowly, wings furled at her sides and each hoof set down carefully in hopes of not frightening any of them away. A bright smile graces her reddish muzzle. "Hello, Munroe. Are these pretty animals your friends? "

    She knows Munroe is following them, but instead of turning around and inviting her wild boy to join them, she waits to see what he will do. Eventually he will have to come to terms with the fact that she will continue to adopt children (there are no plans to have more biological children yet, and probably won’t be for a long time) who need her. They will need her, and Munroe and Kabe too, to give them a family. She nudges Kabe’s shoulder to indicate that she should take note of their tail, but continues their conversation. Yael could open her arms as wide as the world, but it would take her daughter to make her son feel welcome again.

    Munroe and Zilpah would have been the best of friends, she thinks wistfully. But Zilpah is off on her Great Adventure, so that leaves just the most recent addition, Gaza, and herself.

    But Kabechet, like the sweetheart that she is, sidles away from Yael and towards Munroe, and it makes the golden woman smile. And then, she has a wonderful idea. With just a little nudge of her magic on to the foxes, she gives them voices of their own. If her wild boy cannot stand much in the way of equine companionship, she wants him to have… someone to talk to. She pretends to busy herself a little ways off, though her ears swivel towards the pair every now and then.
