    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

    Blood is Thicker than Water

    He had waited, -patiently- through the heat and dust, rain and mud.  It was an ever changing world, spinning on a delicate axel, and it slowed for no one.  

    When a pinto equine showed, on the blood stained lands, he did not know her.  Never having laid eyes upon her, he is shocked when she spits accusations in his face as though she knew him. Deeming him not a Tephran.  He had called it home once, just as history will have it written of hers -theirs.  If she had been such a paragon of the word Tephran, then where had she been when family was disappearing.

    Dying.

    He allows her leave, clearly she had no more to say, and he had no malice for her.  Let her believe what she shall think to be truth, but there are none in her words.  

    Of him.

    Revealing that Warrick has fallen ill causes the slightest frown on his face.  The cobalt tinted stallion had been a friend, a mentor even.  Once upon a time.  He did not wish to rip a kingdom from beneath him, but perhaps he was not suited to rule any longer.  Maybe this was Warrick’s chance to heal and escape the burdens of which the title King bestows upon those who carry it.  If anything, he was doing him a favor.  It is their choice not to accept opportunity when it presents itself.  

    The world slows for no one.

    So, he had gathered his sisters from the forest of redwoods.  Told them of what happened and that they have a home again.  Though, they had always had a home, as long as they were together. Escorting them from Taiga to Tephra takes only a full day and by sundown they have reached their destination.

    They step back onto the land where earth meets sky, where fire and water live in an intricate balance.  The ashy soil clings to his wetted iron hooves, emerald gaze scans over the island.  The tropical flora lacing the edges of the rocky shores is bright, even as winter threatens to consume the other lands once again.  He was grateful to not have to spend another cold season in the Taiga.  His face outstretches to feel the warmth of a sulfur breeze.

    Home.
