"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
no matter what we breed we still are made of greed
It is truly spectacular the way they emerge in time of need. He isn’t speaking of only the magicians either, the residents of Beqanna had an ear for bloodshed it seemed. Why, even Kimber had managed to show her familiar blue face at the Kingdom meeting, even if she had some rag-tag children flanking her.
No, they all came out to play and he really couldn’t complain. If he had a penchant for men he could have kissed Eight just for showing- with or without his magical shield. They’ve only met once, briefly and Killdare brushes away his introduction, no time. There was not time to stand and exchange names or how do’s or how the kids? There was too much on their plates already and they’d barley begun their meal.
Evrae is a welcome addition, the Magician’s seemed to feed off each other’s presence- let them. In truth he had never fully trusted a Magician before perhaps that is wise, of course it was not entirely stupid However, he had learned that they were a welcome acquaintance and so he had begun to treat them as such.
“Fine timing, now if we might get to the meat of the matter…” He looks long at each before he begins, he knows they would like to know the plan.
“We’ll draw them out, we want them to come to us. Bring them with steals, take their young, their horses who hold high ranks. Challenge them…fuel the fire.” He could laugh at that little joke, the Chamber had once been turned to ash, and now like fire sometimes will- it rekindled the flames. “When they come for their revenge that’s when we hit them, hard, where it counts. Their precious Kingdoms, destroy them, see if they have what it takes to be born again from the ashes.”
He missed this in a way, the fighting, the battle and bloodshed. It had been a long time since he had sat down and hashed out the details but he recalled it like riding a bike- some things just come back to you like that.
