    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

    The light that meets the dark

    Words she knows are those handed down to her from the elder horses, and because there’s no method of writing for them (Cheri doesn’t know that word in particular anyways - writing) she can only parrot what she’s learned. Someday, she’ll leave these woods. Perhaps not permanently but she will leave them, and after that she might expand her thoughtful library of how others perceived their gifts. For now, Reave only confirmed her suspicions. In the same way, he simultaneously confirmed what Cheri thought she knew - that Pappa Yan had said they were ‘echoes’ and therefore, Pappa Yan was wise. Problem solved; Cheri considered herself smart.

    Reave doesn’t think to ask about her involvement (or lack thereof) with the echoes, he only studied her with familiar eyes. They were a blue Cheri knew well from looking up into the faces of her ancestors, and something about them felt homely. Even if the rest of him seemed wild and reminded her of Reynard.

    Yan had said she was more like her mother - like Amarine - which saddened the blanket-spotted filly now and then. She wondered why she was touched with velvet black and outlined in garish green when her twin and half-sibling carried on the burnt copper and gold that ran so strongly through Lilliana’s bloodline. She sighed.

    “Well I’m glad I caught you.” Cheri smiled. Reave had been about to escape, which was what Cheri had been looking for all along. “I was so bored with morning lessons. I’ll come with!” She admitted before inserting herself into Reave’s plans, not expecting a refusal given his smile and sudden animation over the matter. Once in a while she could convince Pappa or Ama to take her on a walk to the borders, and then on a singular occasion she and Rey had gone to the stony-gray beach to the West, but every excursion had been supervised, safe.

    This is more her style - taking off into the foggy day on an adventure with “cousin Reave”.

    “C’mon!” She flipped her tail in excitement, buzzed on the feeling of doing something she’d never done before. Cheri picked up her heels and pushed off the springy earth into a quick little canter, unsure of which direction they were headed but certain that they should be going somewhere, anywhere, rather than here.
