    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 should be impossible to dream in color. If he dreams, it is in apricot and indigo and always of her. How she looked as a lank-limbed youth or a ripened peach of a partner. But always her; as if no ...

    He can look back on prior years without a grim set to his face. Not that he does so much, just that he can’t imagine how he made it this far before she came into his life and lit it up brighter than a...

    If it is possible, he has grown wilder.  The points of his horns are unusually sharp and the shape of his face is rougher, older. Time has not been kind to him but neither has life been kind to him o...

    He is not there. Never there. But he recognizes the ache in him that arises when she is not there. Recognizes that she had become tangled up in him somehow, in ways that he cares not to untangle or ...

    His heart has become an onion. (Meat, vegetable - it is the one and the same to him.) But she starts to peel back the layers of him one by one; she becomes his undoing. It is beautiful how it hap...

    The condemnation in her gaze ought to burn him but it only chafes him in the slightest. He has been met by many a condemning eye and hers are not likely to be the last in his lifetime. It makes his l...

    Love, Deceitful and destructive. How it savaged him! Mandan’s heart had shrunk, shrivelled up. Or the part of it that could know love and hate so intimately that it could pine or ache for either....

    Love, sighs the heart. Never lasts, mutters the brain. It is cold, like the heart inside him that throbs slow and dull in the dead of winter. Each snowflake that kisses his fur, is like a memory ...

    The heart says be nice. The brain snaps back with a forceful no; all the niceness bled out of him long ago. He has misplaced his manners in a forgotten corner of lands as feral as he is. The land ...
