    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

    Every moment she wants to break and remake herself anew. She wants thunderstorms, and the sleep of oak trees. She wants to be touched like something holy, and she wants to roll in filth. This is wha...

    "The moon once pulled blood from me. Now I pull silver." North does not feel at home in the forest. She needs room to run and the sun on her back. She needs salt water in her mane and sand in...
