    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

    Malik had only ever returned to Tephra to look for his sister. There had been no use looking for Wishbone. She was dead. His father had told him so. Though he has deconstructed many of the lies tol...

    The shrill scream becomes a laugh, and at the laugh Malik frowns. He knows that laugh. It has been a long time since he had heard it, but he knows it. He recognizes the sound, the voice, the fa...

    The tails keep growing, she tells him, another one every few years. Though it seems a fairly innocuous ability, it also seems like something that is most easily explainable as: magic. And Malik cannot...

    He is not quite as still as a horse as he’d been as a hare. Malik looks around him, pivoting on his hindlegs to face the direction from which he thinks the sound had come. His head is turned to th...

    She looks rather silly hanging sideways like that, and the edges of Malik’s eyes crinkle in amusement as he takes a few steps closer. There seems little damage to her pink-furred hip despite the blood...

    The winter night is still and nearly silent. No wind disturbs the leafless black canopy overhead, and every crunch of Malik’s feet as he runs across the snow’s icy crust seems to echo off the trunks t...

    Malik takes in the odd number of tails as the kitsune races past, his bicolored eyes following the running creature until it is nothing more than the grass bent by its passage. He’d stopped to watch i...

    The cool wind is in her favor, and Malik relies on his sharp bicolored eyes to identify the dark shape that moves toward him. Even wilted by the cold, the pampas grass provides more than adequate cove...

    The wolf’s pace increases when the trail becomes visible to the naked eye, relying less on the keen sense of smell that has guided him this far. Early morning sunlight illuminates the grassy meadow...
