    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


    [mature]  Despite the Overwhelming Odds, Tomorrow Came [Yanhua]

    despite the overwhelming odds, tomorrow came

    I had indeed come to know the Taigan lands fairly well these last few months. Without him, I had taken to exploring as much as possible. I had told him I loved these lands, and indeed, why would I shut myself away from something that I loved? No, I had scoured the lands from north to south and east to west, learning everything I could. One thing I had not done, however, was socialize. I found myself to be quite reclusive, waiting for Yanhua to return. I should change that, though, as I’ve never been the type to hide away. I was in a rush to show him what I had found and what I had done, though, so none of this is of any consequence to me as I leapt through the underbrush.

    When I had reached my destination, I chanced a glance back at him once more, an eager look on my face. I wanted to hide the eagerness, lest I give away the surprise, but it filled me so thoroughly that I found the task impossible. So instead, I let it bubble forth from me as I leaned in close to show him what I could do. As the small seedling grew, I broke concentration just enough to glance up at the stallion, admiring the way he stood so perfectly against the tree-line. He is devilishly handsome, I must admit.

    When he whispered my name, it sent a thrill through me. I wanted him whispering my name over and over in my ear for the rest of my life. I wanted to hear his voice, so soft and elegant, until the day I should return to the earth from which I’d come. I feel the urge to press myself into him, an urge that I follow, leaning my side against his, lifting my cheek to his. Just as he expresses his sentiment, I can’t help but feel that I am perfect, perfect for him. “Yanhua,” I whisper in return, my voice carrying the sentiment of love and adoration that I felt deep within me.

    As he presses his face into the crook of my neck, I press even closer into him. If I could, I would have melted into him, become one with him so that we would never have to be separated again. The last few months without him had been hard. I had been dreadfully sad and lonely. Now, however, I felt whole and alive and so not alone. “I am the lucky one,” I breathe out.

    When he looked into my eyes, I could feel the heat coming off of him. It is a heat that radiates right back from within me, a heat that comes from two things all at once, the love that I feel for this stallion and the natural rhythms of time and fertility. When he reaches out to brush the soft tendrils of mane from my forehead, I reach forward to brush my nose against his cheek. When he tells me that he wants me to stay here forever, have his children, and rebuild Taiga, I return with a whispered response, “Forever and always, I want to be here with you. I want to rebuild our home together, and I want to bear your children. I love you, too, Yanhua.”

    I shift my weight, moving slightly away from him and ahead of him, knowing that my scent would wash over him in a tantalizing and provocative way. I toss my head back at him, flirting, my blue mane sweeping back over my neck. I flick my tail so that it spreads my scent even further. I bump my hindquarters into his shoulder. I want him, and I know he wants me.
