    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

    Any shock of magic, especially one following Camrynn’s disappearance into the world of the Gods, is one that is going to immediately attract Yael. The child is birthed from the Desert itself – or perhaps spit back out, as an owl regurgitates vole bones – wide eyed and blinking furiously in the harsh sun. It (no, she) reeks of magic, though Yael cannot tell if it was maliciously done (she surmises so) or not. Stranger things have happened in these sands; she no longer blinks twice at half of them. After all, the sands were once pink, and her husband was once dead. The apparition of this child is more of a boon than a curiosity.

    One by one their kingdom grows, but only if they can keep them alive.

    Yael could take away her hunger, or she could demand that her own body produce milk and feed the girl herself. Something feels off about that, though. The golden guardian cannot figure out what it is that sets her teeth on edge at that thought, but it does and so she comes up with an apt solution. While hovering protectively over the toddling filly, she draws a pregnant camel away from its herd. Its offspring bleats piteously and chases after her, and Yael is loathe to stop it from following. So the two hump-backed horses approach the girl and when they are nearby, the mother camel stops, allowing her child to nurse. It will stay there until Volcan decides to emulate the other newborn, and then Yael will just have to figure something out for the future.

    But for now, her needs will be taken care of until Vanquish arrives. Briefly she wonders how he feels about all the running around he must be doing. One crisis always follows the next, and it will never stop.
