    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

    He had made a promise the last time he had been here. A vow he fully intends to keep. So he has returned, older, more experienced. He likes to think wiser too, but that point may be debatable. That hardly matters though. Not when such iron resolve fills his chest. Others might be put off by their losses, ashamed of them. Reave chooses instead to learn from them. To grow. To become more skilled.

    His hoofsteps are muffled by the carpet of fallen leaves heralding winter. Some leaves still cling tenaciously to branches overhead, but they would not last much longer. The early morning air is crisp, a chilly mist still clinging where the sun had not yet burned it away. Rune glides silently overhead, occasionally visible through the spindly branches of the canopy overhead.

    His steps are steady, his shrouded features uncharacteristically serious for a change. There is a feverish gleam in the sharp blue of his gaze, a barely leashed tempest in each step he takes. The edges of bone and skin do not bleed as they once had, but a tenderness remains. He might have waited until that too was gone, but he had been too impatient.

    Reave doesn’t speak this time. Mazikeen would find him, of that he has little doubt. And if she did not remember why he had returned, he would remind her when she arrived. In any case, his path is unwavering and his target would soon be clear if it was not already. Craft and Anatomy.

    His mother had won their favor, and he fully intends to reclaim them. No matter how many times he must face a woman he considers a friend. Whether she still feels the same about their friendship, he doesn’t know, but it would not stop him. It hadn’t the first time he’d come, and it certainly would not now.
