    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

    He is alarmed to return to Tephra and find that not all was as he’d left it. The faint smell of burning yet hangs in the air. As dread worms its way through him, the maned wolf at his side lifts her s...

    He could feel the rush of his anger in his veins as she evades his pack, flicking in and out of sight while the sound of her laughter taunts him, just as she had taunted him once before – and Daemron ...

    He has been hunting. They move together. The red wolf is again at his side – once sleek and swift, now slowed and scarred – but the scent of their prey is finally thick in her nostrils, and their g...

    When they had first come upon the maned wolf’s battered body, Daemron hadn’t hesitated to send his wine-dark son across plague-ridden lands to find a healer. The thought disturbs him now more than he ...

    Sudden movement catches at the corner of his gaze. Faintly glowing grey eyes (wild with fright) flick to the sky. It is his windborne son, he realizes, flying straight as an arrow toward them. Daemron...

    At the border, the maned wolf limps forward. Patches of ruddy fur hang from bony prominences; once-bright eyes blink dully as the aching body sinks to the ground in exhaustion. Long ears hang listless...

    He comes at her call – always with the wolves – and moves silently to her side, stealing himself against the anxiety that takes root in his chest. As before, he is loath to witness Pyxis experiencing ...

    His children have been gone for too long. Pyxis tells him not to worry – she is heavy with child again, though by now they feel sure it is only one this time. This had sparked a moment of mirth betwee...
