    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

    in the hushing dusk, under a swollen silver moon,
    I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom

    None of this makes sense to her; none of this triggers any form of self-protection or memory or anything to prepare herself for this meeting. She knows that she should do something—should perhaps leave before that bladed body and sharp teeth are turned against her—but she is powerless against her own curiosity. She is powerless to stop her fate from drawing her time and time again to the edge of a cliff, just waiting for the next breeze to push her over and into the abyss. She is fated to live so close to death, it would seem.

    “Cth,” she tries to mirror the half of its name it gives and shakes her head at its trilling. “I’m sorry. I’m trying,” she says in her silver bell voice. “Yesth,” she echoes again and this time, she manages it—at least a little—her tongue wrapping around the strangle syllables. “Did you have a family?” she asks, wondering what it meant, if it meant anything at all. If it was named or simply given the syllables to itself.

    When silence falls again, she takes another step toward it, forever bold in the face of danger, and although she is tempted to touch its flesh—fascinated with the way light reflected off of it—she refrains. Drawing a deep breath, she simply looks at it, questions unasked and forever unanswered hanging between them. “Cth, do you want to have a family?” She wonders if it even knows what that means.
