    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


    [private]  She's Just a Girl, and She's On Fire
    #2

    It was only a day or so ago that he watched them cross the water border of the neighboring kingdom.  Diplomatic visits were not his forte, so he hasn't ventured into the mountainous land.  He didn't care much for water either.  He is curious though of his offsprings guardian's plan.  Did they really think moving from the common lands would stop him from intruding on their happy little lives...

    As he patrols the adjoining border on his nightly rounds he sees a familiar glow dancing in the darkness.  He stops to watch silently, the red glow of his own eyes the only clue he is here.

    Within a few minutes the glow of their flames begin reflecting off the water and he can make out their outlines.  The one of living flame jumps about wildly, an obvious clue to it being his rebellious daughter.  The undead thing grins as he watches her play. He knows she has orchestrated this little adventure.

    On the far side he can see the orange glow of his son's mane and tail cautiously approaching the water.  Clearly the boy inherited his mother's genes.  A slight disappointment to say the least.

    Their antics are entertaining, but he decides to leave them to their trouble making.  He motions to continue on his guard duties of Pangea's border, that is until a cry lets out and again his attention is brought to the pair.  He does not approach though, not yet.

    His sooty ears perk forwards as he watches the pair work out the situation.  Eviction crosses the river now to help his sibling on the other side, the Pangea side.  He assists her as she limps favoring her hindleg.  Escence flames have all but disappeared and so he strains to see just what is happening.

    He steps from his hiding place.  Bringing himself a pace or two closer before stopping to see the twins standing together.  It is then Evictions head turns and looks directly at him.  Recognition comes across the boy's expression before a faint orange glow begins to encircle the siblings.  He watches in thought as it stretches farther from them, a light pulsing to its translucent form.  

    Escence stirs and is as bewilder as he is.  It is only when she looks past it that she too recognizes his presence.  Dad?  She questions and the undead thing smirks.  A step is taken closer by the fiery girl to him with limp-less ease but is quickly stopped by her brother's warning.  His eyes narrow on the boy before the situation turns once more.  Eviction falls forward and the glowing aura dissipates with him.

    He pauses momentarily before heeding his daughters cry for help.  Something has transpired here, and his brain tries to place the pieces together.  As he mulls it over, he comes to her side.  She has already lowered her brother to the ground where he lies still.  Daddy help him!  She pleads.  He already knows of the power within the boy, so he reassures her, "He'll be ok.  He just needs rest."  He reaches his mangled muzzle to draw her nearer to him as they watch and wait.  She sniffles back a tear as she looks down at her brother's motionless body.

    It is in their waiting that he mulls over again possibilities; the expandable orange glow, the sudden healing of Escence leg, the exhaustion that has overcome Eviction.  The child had healing abilities this he knew.  He could taste it the day the boy was born.  Perhaps his healing was evolving to include others.  It is the aura that has him perplexed more than anything.

    They stand protectively near Eviction as the night drags on.  He watches vigilantly as Escence drifts between wakefulness and sleep against his chest.  Her flames begin to flicker once more as she dries, and the mud is shed from her coat.  The clear starry skies begin to cover as clouds roll in.  His gaze lifts as static streaks of lightning cast an eerie glow within them.  Hopefully the boy awakens soon...
