    Assailant -- Year 226

    "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

    [open]  the light of the sun is only a daydream
    #2
    Alkina's coming into the world was not that special. She has a father she never met and a mother who weaned her, but nothing much else is to be said. She is no special child when it comes to looks, either - not in a Beqanna that was liberated from the darkness just a few springs ago, where many who were alive at the time are glowing; her markings may be iridescent, but only if someone were to come close, they might notice.

    Her soft-golden skin is not illuminated in the night, even though the moon is bright enough to make out her shape and general color - bleak, she'd say - well enough. The blanket Appaloosa marking on her hind is just about discernible from the rest of her hide, but that's not the thing that's wrong with her.

    The problem is she has no clue about her Sorrow Aura trait, the one that keeps everyone at bay. It is that which makes her lonesome, seeking the company of the Ruins - a place as desolate as she. She is a blank slate in a blank space. It stays that way for hours, until she finally spots the sparkle on top of one of the pillars.

    To be up there sparkling like the stars is something she could only dream of. She sighs softly when she sees it, unaware of the fact that there's a whole person waiting up there. Looking up, looking past the shimmer into the dark night sky, she holds still and makes her silent wish.

    If only she wasn't so alone anymore.


    Still figuring her out as well (:
