    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

    Spring has arrived and still Altissima lingers in Loess. She will leave soon, but already knows it will not be for very long. There is still no desire to tie herself down and commit to a kingdom, but it is not for the land itself that she stays here. Even if the hot springs have endeared themselves to her through the long, chilly season.

    Today she has company in the form of her often-absent companion, Winter. The snowy owl houses a spirit more prone to wandering than her bonded and the two are not often found together. This morning, though, they reunite and before Winter goes to find somewhere to roost for the day she joins Altissima for her sunrise ritual.

    She does not need to absorb the light as she once did, but some habits are hard to break - and she finds an open spot in the rocky landscape of Loess to greet the sun. Her white wings are unfurled at her side, like she is frozen in the moment before taking off, and her eyes are a peaceful shade of indigo as the light begins to twinkle in the air around her and the owl resting on her withers.

    Altissima doesn't consider how standing in an open spot, forming shapes out of the soft morning sunlight, might be a beacon to anyone in the area to come over. She's long since forgotten what it was like to hold a conversation with anyone other than Tarian - and he had left to patrol or some other duty so she does not expect to be disturbed, not even when her companion gives a little hoot of warning that someone else is nearby.
