    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

    Her head sang with the vibrancy of the surface land. Everywhere were bright colors and loud noises, much louder than she was used to below. She missed the melody of whale song and the chitchat of fish and other sea creatures. The parrots up here were so noisy, all of the time! Even at night they peeped and chirruped from their roosts. They were as bad as shrimp that way. 

    The main compensation for the noise the birds made was the bright picture they created. It seemed like there was a bird in every colour, though after a while she was able to group them into differing species. So far, the blue and gold ones were her favorite. They made her understand where parrotfish got their names from. 

    Today the parrots were as cheery as ever, adding their voices to the rich ambiance that played over the island scene. Aquaria watched them with mild fascination. So many things flew here. Two of the horses she'd met so far, even had wings. She wouldn't trade her oceanic ability for anything in the world, but it was still interesting to think about what the skyfarers saw. What was the world like from above instead of below? 

    One particular parrot seemed lost. It was a shimmering shade of blue, almost metallic where the sun hits it. Patches of gold shine out in places. It was like her favorite parrots, but more vibrant in every way. Maybe a bit larger, too. She observed as it made its way over the sand, seemingly searching for something. The strange creatures were almost dolphin like in their intelligence, so she wondered at what had gotten it's attention so thoroughly.
