    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

Lidell lolled in the grass, blowing puffs of air at the rigid green stalks. These little streams caught her forelock, sending the gold and silver hairs fluttering over her eyes. She was bored and restless, pressed into the earth and wishing she could melt into it. Something should happen, anything, they sat so still all the time. Mother was the worst, solemn in her ways now and it was slightly concerning to the young girl. Instinctively she lifted her head, watching Up as she had done so many times before.

    The stars twinkled over head, playing tricks on the moon as they winked. A midnight sky was only enhanced by their efforts, they brought a white light that swallowed the darkness where they sat. They made the sky playful and enchanting. Lidell liked to watch them, the stars, perhaps she had learned that from her Mother and Uncle. They always seemed to be entranced when the sun went down and the moon flew up. Their gold gilded heads rising to stare with eyes that mimicked that which they seemed to love so much.

    Sometimes Mother and Uncle seemed sad, tiny tears glittering in the corners of their bewitching eyes.

    She knew the stories, had begged them to be told again and again. Often they found her whispering the tale beneath her breath, knowing each word by heart. That didn’t make her love them less, in fact she adored each retelling, amused and excited for that which she had listened to a thousand times.

    <i> What are you thinking?</i> her black face turned to her Uncle Guthrie, a grin spreading on her charcoal lips.

    <b> “Who makes the stars?”</b> she asked, ears easing forward with eagerness.</div></div></div><div class="lidcredit">HTML by Call</div></center>
