    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

    Their journey from the Beach has been long but she has enjoyed their new found friendship that has evolved.  Through the challenges they faced together their bond has strengthened.  Aurora knows that good things are hard to come by, and even harder to hold onto...

    Alerted to the dangers of their world now they proceed with caution.  He seems confused at her explanation of where her magic came from.  She simply nods as if that would make it more understandable.  The precious lives that grow inside her stir more frequently now.  Jack had asked when abouts they will make their appearance and though she is unsure it cannot be long now.  Spring was a season of rebirth and renewal, often sparking the mass arrival of new life.  Birds were singing their love choruses in the treetop, squirrels chased each other through the bushes, and spotted fawns joined their mother's while browsing on the fresh green grasses of the Meadow.  It was a peaceful place with the best grazing of all the lands.

    Her pace has slowed since leaving the Beach.  The added weight she carries taking a toll on her strength.  She still questions how healing Jack hadn't caused her more weakness in her than it had.  Perhaps the adrenaline of the situation had something to do with it.  When he expresses his concern for her having helped him she shakes her head while replying, "Nonsense!  You saved me from being bitten.  It was the least I could do." 

    As they break from the treeline of the river and step into the large meadow, the cloudy skies hide the position of the sun.  They are dark and ominous today, threatening rain.  She pauses briefly to take in the area, making sure they are not close to any other groupings that gather here.  In her condition she'd rather keep her distance, for now.  "How does your leg feel Jack," she asks her companion.  "We can rest over there for a bit if you'd like," her eyes spot a lone tree not far from them and she points her muzzle to it after she makes the suggestion.  That may be a good shelter in case it should start raining as they rest she thinks.
