    Assailant -- Year 226

    "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

    [open quest]  Summer school 2019 - geography and music
    #4
    She follows behind her teammates, and there is amusement dancing in her blue grey eyes. Singing for her children is an everyday occurrence for the navy-haired mare, and while the assembled class is not her children, Lepis has never had a fear of crowds. Everyone watching them will be singing themselves sooner or later, Lepis reminds herself, and her team simply has the good fortune to go first.

    While not an exceptionally skilled aongstress, Lepis is still able to hit her notes. They picked a good song, at least, one with a catchy beat and words that are simple and easy to remember. Her team mates take their turn, singing the verses they’ve crafted on their own, and then they come together for a refrain:

    <b>”Yeah, I'm gonna take my self to an Eastern land.
    I'm gonna run 'til I can't no more
    I'm gonna take my self to an Eastern land.
    I'm gonna run 'til I can't no more.” </b>

    She takes a breath before launching into her own verse, the final verse,

    <b>”In moonlight, water’s bright, it’s shinin' like a new star
    Spend a lot of time by this salty reservoir
    Pony's got ta see it: sterling shore and those high mountains
    Soft hills, lush greens, too many rocks for countin’
    Cured the plague, when it tried to attack
    It’s the Eastern’s own lounge so they kick on back
    Wish I could go right back to that Eastern land
    I wanna run 'til I can't no more.”</b>

    Lepis continue to sing, but her navy striped hears turn toward Aoeleus and Bethlehem, knowwing that they are joining her for the final hook and refrain. Her alto voice lifts into a harmony with the colt and stallion’s carrying of the tune:

    <b>“Can't nobody tell me nothin'
    You can't tell me nothin'
    Can't nobody tell me nothin'
    You can't tell me nothin'
    Yeah, I'm gonna take my self to an Eastern land.
    I'm gonna run 'til I can't no more
    I'm gonna take my self to to an Eastern land.
    I'm gonna run 'til I can't no more.”</b>

    Their voices fade into silence and she glances over at her teammates with a satisfied smile, before turning to the assembled class.
