    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

    FREJYA

    Blood calling to blood could be the only reasonable explanation the dragon had felt a pull towards the Chamber. She hadn't stepped a hoof in a kingdom since leaving hers to wither away. The crown she'd ripped from her father had proved too heavy for the girl. The past years had been spent as a black and gold dragon, skulky in the shadowy caves and mountains far away from anyone, especially anyone she could have considered family.

    Today she found herself meandering through shadowed pines and misty air with no purpose. The occasional scrape and prick she felt against her gold shimmering black hide helped to quiet the thoughts that tried to invade her mind at times. She took a deep breath of the heavy, cool air and stopped. Her ears flickered between her silvery mane at a noise. A squawk. A shriek. Frejya attempted to ignore the noises and thought about simply turning away, but something insisted she push on and find the source of the commotion.

    The trees broke to reveal a roan with spikes protruding and black birds impaled on them. Frejya stopped abruptly, her black eyes watching with intrigue as the spikes retracted back into the young girl and the dead birds flopped to the earth. She seemed upset by this, and again Frejya debated turning and leaving. Instead, her legs began moving, bringing her nearer to the girl surrounded by death.

    "Don't be upset." The words came out with less emotion than they probably should have. "You were defending yourself, it seems." She lowered her gaze to the birds lifeless on the ground. "There's nothing wrong with protecting yourself. You did ask them to stop, after all"

    She shifted her weight, swishing her silvery white tail against her hips as her head tilted just slightly to the side. "You were more polite than I'd have been." Frejya chuckled, shifting half into the black and gold dragon she loved so much, lowered her spiked head towards the bird. Fire burst from her throat scorching the birds to rid of evidence the best she could with a small stream of flame while trying her best to avoid the stranger - her half sister. Out of sight, out of mind, right? She shifted back quickly and admired the rising smoke. "There. All better."

    if i lead us all to ruin, we will burn in hell together
