    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

    Finally he was old enough they could travel to the playground, where he could meet foals from all over Beqanna.  To broaden his horizons.  So with a whicker she calls him to follow her and off they venture.

    Winter is fast approaching.  Which also means their first Christmas would come soon enough.  Her honey eyes look to Phoebus, who is happily prancing by her side with excitement.  Where are we going momma? He questions.  She sweetly replies, “On an adventure.”

    He is evermore curious as they cross into the playground.  Foals of all colors and sizes are running about.  Some he recognizes, others he does not.  She stops and looks out to the crop of young.  “Go gather your friends… I have a story to tell,” she whispers to him with a hint of mystery to her voice.  He quickly bounds off, calling to his friends to gather around his mother.

    Once they are seated around her, she quiets them.  They fidget and giggle as all children can't help but do. “Ok.  Quiet now.  I have a story about Christmas to tell you all.” She grins as they look to her, eyes wide with wonder, “Each year, when the snow begins to fall, we celebrate Christmas.  It is a time for friends and family to gather.  To share gifts and stories.  Bring tasty treats to a friend… but most importantly, if each of you are good boys and girls, Santa will visit.” She emphasizes Santa with a raise in her voice and surprise in her features.  Her gown of feathers shuffle slightly before she continues, “Santa lives at the North Pole and he keeps a list of all the children of Beqanna.  He is also always watching, and he knows who has been naughty and who has been nice… Then… on Christmas Eve he visits all the good children to deliver the gift they wished for…” She pauses as a tiny hoof extends into the air, “Yes? Do you have a question?” She asks the springy foal.  

    “How does Santa know what we wish for?”

    She smiles, “Well that's a good question.  There are a few ways… Some wish very, very hard and Santa hears them.  Others go find Santa to tell him their wish…” Tiny faces turn to one another in thought.  She waits a moment before she interrupts their curious minds, “Well… What are you waiting for? Go on an adventure.  Find Santa and tell him your wish.” Honey eyes watch as they scramble to their feet.  Some head in a familiar direction, some to places they have never been.  Others form a group, perhaps with a sibling or friend.  They scamper off, one by one, in excitement on what is in store…
