    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


    Mother of monsters - Ripley and co.

    They came to her.
    She knew they would.

    They were magnificent creatures. Otherworldly, even though they had been born of mortal blood.  They were violent from the moment of their birth, coming into this world in a haze of blood that gore that never truly left them as they grew. 

    The bloodthirst could never truly be sated, and hunger had the potential to drive them insane. That is where she interfered - keeping them sated.  Keeping them safe. If allowed to rampage through Beqanna she feared that they would be hunted and butchered.  So instead, she ensured they were sated just enough not to be a threat - until the opportune moment when they would be unleashed.

    Their minds were not at all comparable to the equine mind. There was no mortality, no restraint, no moral foundation.  There was only hunger.  Bottomless, depthless, hunger.

    “What have you found?” She speaks to them mentally, in a way they will understand, hoping they can convey to her what it is they’ve discovered here - what force drew them out of the shadows and into the sun.
