There is something about the cool quiet of the night that speaks to me. My heart thrums with the closeness of it, like the seductive promise of a forbidden lover's embrace. I can feel Niklas somewhere off to my right; Set trails me to the left, both of them reluctant to return to a Beqanna they no longer know. I have only been here once before. Perhaps twice, long ago, before the memories of my life begin ... a sharp sting in my right flank snaps me out of my wistful reverie. I pin my ears, kicking out instinctively, eliciting a low hiss at the sharp pain of over-extension. A low chuckle hums in my left ear, tainted by the barest hint of malice, drifting off as he too, floats away, closely followed by the low panting of his hellhound companion. He cannot help himself. He is a demon, after all. My strained leg throbs with every step as we make our way to the myriad of scents that mark the Field, but I refuse to show my weakness. Though neither would truly hurt me, it had otherwise been kill or be killed my whole life. There is no choice but to live up to their expectations. |

"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
