    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


    Mother of monsters - Ripley and co.

    They do not tell their mother-master, rather they slowly reveal themselves in a series of images and emotions. It would be alarming if this will not well practiced between the trio. She can feel their excitement, smell the fresh blood, sense the places they wanted to investigate further.

    Even monsters can sense the promise in this place - the potential that lurks in the shadows and crevices cut in the dry earth.

    They also share memories with her - memories of a time when Beqanna was different. Memories of a time when Beqanna was perhaps more dangerous - more unpredictable than it currently is. Perhaps that’s what this place needs now - a reminder of what the world used to be like. A reminder of how it could so easily be tossed into chaos again.

    She would not be an observer.
    She would not doom those loyal to her to live as outcasts - restrained to the shadows.
    Her shadows.

    “Go on,” she spoke - both outwardly and into their minds. With the thought she granted her permission - freed them to nest in the canyons and caves. To feed. To feast. For she knew they would come if she called them. They always did. And she loved them for it.

    With that the shadowmare turned her gaze towards the heart of the quiet kingdom. The monsters were right. There was potential here.

    It was time for her to coax it from the shadows.
