    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

These treks have taught him to be honest with himself, though. He has learned that it is his fear of weakness that drives him up the slippery incline even as the slush of half-melted snow makes the journey more perilous. Loose rocks threaten to make him lose his footing several times and he stumbles, slamming his knees several times.

    But he simply sucks in a hissing breath between his teeth and carries on. The fire in his heart refuses to extinguish or surrender even as the icy wind begins to collect across his brows and along the edges of his eyelashes. His breath leaves him in delicate white puffs of air that disappear in the frigid mountain breeze. It almost hurts to inhale, up here, but what other choice does he have? Vulgaris snorts softly at his own childish complaining.

    When he arrives near the peak, he pauses a moment to catch his breath search the clouds for some sign that someone is listening. Perhaps they have always heard him, he suspects, but they have elected not to entertain his requests. Still, they had been kind enough to restore his youth so that he might continue this adventure in life. Not having aching joints had meant one less thing for Leliana to worry about while he tried to keep up with their children.

    “<I>You have been infinitely kind to me, in my life. All my children are strong and beautiful. My body is as powerful as ever,</i>” he calls out to anyone or no one at all. He feels guilty to keep pestering them but the roaring inferno of his soul demands it. “<I>My curse has been broken but.. I want to replace it with a blessing instead. I want to rise from my ashes. I told Leliana I would die for her and she asked me to live so.. I want to do just that.</i>”

    He keeps those sage green eyes trained on the clouds, brows furrowed as he remains hopeful.</div>
    <div style="font:10px cinzel Decorative;text-align:center;">In this shook-up, twisted world, I'm gradually growing transparent and vanishing
    Don’t look for me; don't look at me</div></div>
    Basically, Vulgaris used to have the equus viperus curse because his bloodline is full of people who used to be evil and cruel. Larva didn't learn his lesson so it passed to Vul and Shiya. Vul sacrificed himself in order to pay for his crimes against the people he loved most and Leliana resurrected him, telling him she wanted him to live for their family instead, so these threads are about him learning how to be good. I would like for him to have phoenix shifting because perfectly symbolizes his rising from the ashes of his old life.
