    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

    Everything has changed

    A startled breath is drawn in and as quickly as it's taken she chokes to expel it.  The feeling of drowning consumes her as frantic glances are given to her surroundings.  She was no longer on the sandy beaches of Tephra looking across the vast sea.  Nor was she accompanied by the blood bay stallion.  She was alone - in every sense of the word at this very moment.  

    Uneasiness grew within her as she stood deathly still gauging her situation.  Not only has her world changed in appearance but something in herself had changed.  She did not see through dull eyes but an awakened sense of her surroundings.  Distance was magnified as well as the contrast within the darkness.  Never before had she seen so much where there was little to be seen.

    "Hello..." A whispered word passes across her lips in a shaky tone. Her gown of emerald and gold cling tightly to her sides.  Ears swivel to capture an answer but they are only met with the stale darkness.  Nares flare to intercept a scent within the air - only which stagnant death is found.  Not again, she thinks.

    Not now

    Eyes fall upon the dreary forests ahead.  Ominous mists linger in the tangles of branches above.  A path seems to part through the trunks of the trees and she wonders where it leads.  A rapid pulsing within her chest interrupts her thoughts.  Her new and improved vision sweeps east, than west.  Another path presents itself.  Narrowing her eyes further down this path she notices a mountain with radiating clouds circling it's peak.  The fairies!  Maybe they could explain to her what has happened to their world.  Maybe she could help.

    Maybe...

    It creeps from up behind her, a rumble within it's throat and hiss through it's teeth - so she thinks - Run!  Without hesitation her legs gather under her, leading her up the western path.  Eyes focused on the destination making it appear closer than it is.  She wears quickly - gasping for breath - her legs weaken as she stumbles,

    Once, twice...
