    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

    There was a measure of entertainment in the interaction. Distinct from the thrill he got in pursuing prey, this felt like a similar game. One with more rules, maybe, but a familiar rhythm. At this poi...

    Is it wrong that his eyes gleamed with excitement when she whipped away? That the grunt of surprise as her hoof connected with his chest quickly gave way to a pleased short of chuckle? Cormorant grinn...

    Her eyes are like black liquid pools, and he feels them drink him down when they at last fall on him. Round as sand dollars, he smirked slightly as they took him in. Had he surprised her? It certainly...

    He is the raging sea. Water when the winds tease it into ever taller tidal waves, the briny deep where secret creatures live and die without ever knowing the sun. When he smiles, it is like jagged roc...

    If you were watching the slate dark waters off the edge of the frozen coast of Icicle Isle, you might see a dark shape cutting through the waves. You might not. Sleek as a waterborne missile, the figu...

    A grin as wide as the horizon was making Cormorant's mouth ache, but he couldn't stop. Not when his best friend and soul brother stood here at last. With a final snort, the young stallion at last came...

    Cormorant had been lazing in the bay. The water was cooler than the air above, and he found it easy to rest off shore on days like this. Far away from the chaos of the surface world. No, it was far ni...

    Cormorant smiled, and nodded agreeably. With slow, cautious steps he made his way to the pale girl's side, eyes cast down to the water. It was cold, snow melting off of the mountains, and it whirled p...

    Cormorant. Bird of the sea. His mother had given him the name because from his birth he'd not been able to stay quiet. Like the glossy black birds that dove in the water, he always had something to sa...

    There was a quiet moment where both boys examined the unfamiliar in each other. It wasn't terribly common to see someone so very darkly coloured on the island. Aunt Eva's newest babied were a deeper p...

    He was a son of saltwater and clear skies, every bit the islander his mother was, but perhaps with wider desires. Ma loved her home. He did too, but the world was so much bigger than that. She'd shown...
