    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

    WATCH IT BURN, THE FIRE YOU STARTED IN ME


    Often, it had seemed, she would find herself wandering across the border of her home, Taiga, into Tephra. Ever since she had met Toivo she had been drawn here, to the warmth, to the smells, to the sights. It was such a vivid place, brighter than Taiga. The sun warmed her back and the fog stayed away. Her mother was not sarcastically scolding her and her brother was not stealing her time here. She found herself being completely herself. Here she found adventure, even as her sides grew wider and her walk became hindered. 

    She had sought out Toivo a few times between then and now, they did not - or at least she did not - worry about the life growing inside of her. She wanted to see and get to know everything about his home, though she had not asked to join she was beginning to feel apart of the jungle home.

    Instinct had kicked in when she began to feel that it was close to birthing her children - because she was a twin she assumed she would have two, why not? She had found a soft florishing spot hidden inside the jungles cover big enough for the three of them. She had brought trinkets from around the jungle land to help make the space more homey. She had a collection of sea shells from the beach and giant flowers that smelled like happiness. She had gems of all colors scattered around in a circle, it quite literally looked like a rainbow, at least she was happy though. 

    When the pains started she grimaced through a smile. She was ready. They were ready. 

    She made her way through the red wood forest in her horse form, slowly, her den was not far from the border into Tephra. She found it easily, just as the contractions grew closer and more intense. She layed down softly and breathed confidently through her labor. It was unlike anything she had experienced but she knew she could do it alone, or with Toivo by her side. She had not kept her den a secret, she had shown him many times over her progress she had made. A proud wolf tucked quietly away in her home away from home. 

    The first, a filly, pale golden like the sun - like her - with deep black tips, and hooves like honey and amber. Amber eyes peered up at her through thick black lashes. In the brief moment of relief Oectra planted a soft, velvety kiss to her daughters forehead, "Hello, Cordillia." and with that the next set of contractions broke through. It did not take as long for the next babe to slip from her body. It was a boy, pale blonde with a white splotch that took up the entirety of his underbelly, along with four white legs and face. It was as if someone had dunked her boy in the snowy caps on the mountain and it had just stuck. He peered up at her with hungry pale blue eyes, trying to wobble onto moonstone hooves. She smiled a wide lopsided grin, pleased with how she had done and the foals she had created. She nudged the boy, helping him to his feet, "Hello, Agramon." she whispered softly. Cordillia and Agramon smiled at each other and then at their mother before finding the soft spot beneath her belly.. food.
