    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

    burn everything you love then burn the ashes

    Well.  Momma had been pissed.  She had yelled, and stomped, and shouted something fierce!  Which made sense really, since Anni had scared her.  Thing was?  Thing was, Anni loved the fire, the snarl and the glare and the just ENERGY in the air when Momma was good and angry.  It was kind of like Daddy’s fire, except it crackled along her skin and sent these fantastic little shivers down her spine, and she tried not to grin like an idiot while Momma was on a rampage, but it was HARD, okay?  Rampaging Mom was the funnest Mom.  It brought out the scary glow in her eyes that sucked the light out of the whole world and pulled it right into her, and how it radiated out of her like she was some kind of avenging angel or something was…well, it was fucking cool.  Just like Daddy’s fwoosh was fucking cool.

    Probably the point of the yelling and the way Momma tore her a new one and beat her ass was to keep her from doing what had scared her again, right?  But.  Well.  But see, it had been worth it.  To explore, to have an adventure, to see Daddy all growly, to see Momma all scary?  Totally worth being a little bit sore for a while.  And besides, there were sooooo many more adventures to have!  So.  “Mauly!”  Anni snuck up to her sister—well, as sneaky as she was capable of, which frankly was not very—“Mauly, I had sooooo much fun!”  She said it in a giddy little whisper, so Momma and Daddy wouldn’t hear.  Because before they got all growlish and ragey again, she should get to earn it.  Ooooh, and she had ideas, too!

    “Mauly, I have to tell you!  Aahhhh, I sneaked away and made it all the way to people!  And!  And there was this guy with red eyes like Uncle Hallows, but the kind of red that sends shivers down your spine!  And!  And!  He told me?  He told me he lives in the Chamber, which is this place where the land?  HAS A HEARTBEAT!  Like you can hear it and everything!  AND!  And there’s a tree?  And if you give it a present, it lights on FIRE!  And something something ravens that are probably super cool too, do you want to gooooo?  Let’s go!  You want to come, right?”

    Naturally, because Maul was the coolest sister in the history of ever, she wanted in on the fun.  Of course she did, because who wouldn’t want to go explore a cool new place with a heartbeat and fire and ravens and danger and burning and yessssss!  But!  But Momma and Daddy were kind of hovery and watching the pair of them like hawks.  Or like falcons, in Daddy’s case, but that was not the point.  Point was, how on earth were they going to get away?

    See, now this was why Maul was the coolest.  She was smart, and sneaky, and good at planning things where Anni was mostly just enthusiasm and charging into chaos.  And she?  Came up with the best idea ever!  One that was sure to lead to lots of growling and snarling and fwoosh and scary parents later, which really just made it even better.  Ooooh, but probably Maul should get to tell that part.

    Anyhow, when they’d finally managed to sneak away (to the tune of very much yelling and oh god, the shouting and the crackling of tempers vibrating in the air made Anni want to stay and watch because fun! but also provided pretty awesome cover for the sneaking part) they set out to find the Chamber.  Which, actually, Anni didn’t know how to get to, come to think of it. But probably they could find it anyhow.

    And even if they couldn’t, adventure!
