    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

    Whatever strange magic wraps Librette is the same magic that pushes Covet along, plucky and ageless. Until lately, anyways. That same magic made Covet a tiresome, evil beast. But that's gone, and all...

    Thorunn is more like her father - reserved. She watches her sister with careful consideration, noting the ways they are similar and the ways they are different. Natyl doesn't hesitate to speak, wherea...

    A lesser man (read: Covet of the past) would have been horrified by the turn of events with his children. The last few seasons were nothing but girls. They came crawling from the nooks and crannies...

    Mother was Queen too. The realization hits Thorunn like a ton of bricks, mostly because she never considered the possibility that both her parents were great. She'd spent much of her time following Co...

    Thorunn can almost sense her sister before she appears, if that makes any sense. It's that strange twin bond people are always talking about, and with Thorunn and Val it's particularly tight. See, whi...
