    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

    Lillibet



    Lillibet would be pleased were she able to hear the stranger’s thoughts. That her presence reminds him of Liesma when she first approaches would have brought her mind back to the night that she'd met the star-wielder in the common lands. She’d been envious of the other woman, as she is with most other magical folk - to be able to hold the power of the stars so effortlessly seemed like a dream for a woman who could only glow. They’d spoken about Liesma’s power, about the depth of her strength and the way the stars burned. It had been magical to stand within the ring of stars her acquaintance had created, protected by the circle of light for the duration of their conversation.

    The glowing stallion does not seem off-put by her sudden presence; instead, there is a gentle grin that turns up the corners of his lips. Their mutual light glows against their ivory and champagne faces and despite their unfamiliarity with each other, it feels to Lillibet like something vulnerable and intimate. The stranger’s voice is smooth as he reassures her and when the question is returned, volleyed back to her as if she was meant to be here, Lillibet realizes that she may not have encountered a resident of Pangea on this night.

    Her smile matches his and her smile glints playfully as she tilts her gold-striped head to the side in query. ”You didn’t,” she offers in return as her honeyed gaze moves to the flames that lick across his speckled back. ”What are you doing here?” Lillibet presents another question to him, devoid of etiquette and lacking diplomacy just as she usually does. Oceane wouldn’t be pleased, and the young woman can nearly hear her mother’s gentle scolding that everyone should be treated with kindness until they have proven they don’t deserve it.

    But who says some light prodding isn’t kind?

    Her ivery tail flicks around her hinds as a shiver runs the course of her spine - Pangea was not quite as warm as the Meadow had been, and the winds of late night certainly weren’t warm as they navigated the open space of the canyon. ”Do you know where there’s a warm cave to hide in?” She’s asked it before she realizes her intentions could be mistaken, but instead of fumbling over herself she simply smiles up at the glowing man, his flames reflecting in the playful glint of her gold-flecked eyes.




    I do not want to move mountains;
    I want the mountains to see me coming
    and to crumble.
