"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

It had been dark for a few days now and Laurelin did not mind one bit. Although he thinks the glow around him has diminished a little, it’s something born of fire and not tied to the dance of the moon and the sun. It’s just more obvious in the darkness. So, since the sun seems to be taking an extended vacation, that means it is literally his time to shine.
It helps too that he has discovered the ability to heat the air around him so he’s never actually cold. Which is extremely helpful in the winter - he grew a winter coat last year and it was not a good look for him. He rather preferred to remain sleek and shiny all year round and if that meant tiring himself out by tapping into this ability for an entire season then so be it.
Sometimes he considers just moving to one of the tropical areas, but it is a fleeting idea his mind cannot seem to settle on for long. As though there’s an instinct telling him to keep away from those waters.
Ridiculous.
Maybe when the sun comes back. Right now there’s not much point in being anywhere - it all looks the same anyway.
Except for right around him, where the snow is touched by Laurelin’s blue glow and the occasional spark floats up from his mane and tail as he wanders. Certain that if anything interesting was going to happen, it would find him.
