    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

    Let's say sunshine for everyone, but as far as I can remember we've been migratory animals living under changing weather.

    The sunburnt mare is dreaming. She dreams mostly for others, but today she dreams for herself. She dreams of her past lives, of days on the plains, dancing under the stars. She dreams of her first and only love, a sky-speckled man the color of dark water at midnight. She dreams of the many foals she's helped cross into this world through the vessels of their dams. Four hooves pitter-patter closer and closer, until her brain realizes they are not a dream. Her jade eyes flutter open and she feels the earth beneath her. Little colt hooves bound closer, and as she judges their next trajectory, she blocks the path. She's greeted by a pair of twin boys, they have the beautiful stench of love hanging all over them.

    Now boys, where ya'll going with all that love your mama's dressed you in? She speaks jovially, looking up as a resplendent mare comes trailing behind them. She looks endearingly exhausted, and Jah-Lilah can't help but feel some type of way almost instantly. A genuine smile covers her pretty face as she greets the new mother. Hey mama. As if one wasn't enough, huh? Her tone is not mocking, and her head is tilted to meet the young mother's eyes. They swam like the ocean, with a purity to match. Jah-Lilah was officially intrigued. It had been years since she had seen equine this color, it reminded her of the plains from whence she had come. She sidles closer to the evergreen lady, herding the colts back to where they belong.

    Someday we will foresee obstacles through the blizzard. Today we will sell our uniforms and leave together.
