    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

        Thread: Garden of Lucid Dreams
    Post: RE: Garden of Lucid Dreams

    What Avocet remembers of his own childhood is hazy, like the rumored woods of misty Taiga; eerie like the silence in Silver Cove. He had been born in the Pampas, into a world full of color, and yet wh...

    With the return of the sun, Avocet and Huglava had returned to resuming their quest. The bay stallion was on the hunt for a God - a dark entity that had manipulated his sister (though Avocet never...

    Officer Huglava stirs. There are only twitches from his two (you'd be surprised how many appendages xenobiology can have) webbed feet sticking out from amongst the rubble and I wait, wondering if ...

    "Well multi-thing shifter," Avocet jokes back, "nice to make your acquaintance." He grins a little - boyish and lopsided - before it stifled a little. It never had really bothered Avo that he had b...

    His shadowed brow furrows by the firelight. Avocet is looking at Popinjay and he knows he should feel hatred. He thinks of all the anger that he has lugged across Beqanna in a personal vendetta to...

    Onward, noble steed. Avocet snorted. The creature that rode upon his back was nearly hidden from view, thanks to his stocky neck and thick mane. The bay stallion plodded along a trail that took...

    The feathered creature in front of him is rather graceful. There is a certain elegance in the arc of its neck, a primness in the neat way that it has tucked away its pale feathers. It almost surprises...

    Where Avocet had fallen asleep, he couldn't quite recall. Manikin's brother could remember lying in the meadow grass down but beyond that, the rest evaded him. Lurching himself up and forward, the bay...

    He had no more luck than the day before in finding Popinjay. Why any horse would want to leave the Pampas is beyond him. The fields thrive with wildflowers for most of the year and even when winter dr...

    He thinks it odd that she smiles. Avocet looks up from the hooves-that-should-not-be-hooves and frowns slightly, questioning that familial grin with a fixed amber stare. Their mother is gone. She ...
