    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

    It would seem that for all Yadigar is (unfortunately) scaled and dragonborn, he shares a similar mind with Tarian. The silver pegasus had started to formulate that a plan that he might find a way to be useful to both the Pangeans and Loessians. So long as Pangea didn't intend to use him as a tool against his home, Tarian wasn't averse to finding a way to turn his captivity into a benefit for the Southlands. And knowledge, in its own way, was a weapon.

    What he learned here - now - could be used against Pangea, should the need arise (if history was any indicator, there would be).

    "Tell me, @[yadigar]," asks the older stallion, truly curious. "What makes you think Pangea the best judge for Beqanna?" That statement had piqued the pegasus's interest. Clearly, the Kingdom of the East believed it because they had blazed 'judgement' on Loess, and supposedly, Nerine and Taiga. How had a den of dragons become the jurors for the Land of the Sunrise?

    "What gods," he wonders, "gave this blessing?"

    He doesn't mean to condone or ridicule. The winged stallion was raised with the belief that they were always watched by their ancestors. So long as they never forgot their roots and looked for guidance in the winds and gales, they could never be lead astray. But Tarian, who had been an Heir and who once had a whole realm intended for him, had learned otherwise. His 'gods' had blown through his home, taken what they had wanted, and left the others to aimlessly wander the realms not overtaken by the mists that seemed to claim so many worlds.

    Tarian has always believed that his fate will be entirely of his own making - no divine help needed - and at this moment, the fate he'd like to accomplish is returning to Loess no worse than he left it and acquiring information about the land that had left so many horses whispering about what really existed in that wild country. The buckskin takes another step closer to Tarian and he studies the stud, observing that there was no eye to get lost in on this side of his slashed face. An eye that the other horse has learned to make do without and learned other ways to see. Interesting.

    He can't imagine any of his siblings attempting to maim him - Liam was far too lazy and Kildare too sweet - but he does recognize the advice behind the words; Tarian of Paraiso and then Beyond and then Liridon and now Beqanna knows all too well the importance of adapting. He even laughs callously at the word, a chortle of laughter that shouldn't have a place in this conversation.

    "I would learn where you all bruise," he explains honestly. His sense of duty and a want to keep Loess safe is his most obvious wound. What is Yadigar's?
