    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

     Slowly
    wounds mend
    time heals
    the seasons
     change.

    Lillex
    well she was not
    brand new
    she was scared
    imperfect.

    The scars were 
    more than just 
    physical.

    She would 
    shake
    sweat
    sometimes cry out
    in her sleep.

    A painted stud
    had stayed by her
    side the whole time.

    She did not know
    how to thank him
    she hoped he did
    not want a foal
    she was not equip
    to the motherly type.

    She stood strong
    and spotted in the 
    falls. Something made
    her feel like it was
    time to go
    she had used up
    all the kindness here

    the sun colored maiden 
    made that very clear
    while she laid on deaths
    door. 

    Lillex simply did not
    believe in cheating death
    if it was time to go
    you should not avoid 
    your destiny or death
    will chase you until it
    catches up and reaps
    your soul.

    She let a whinny
    escape from her 
    lips calling for 
    two toned stud
    that had stayed
    by her side so 
    long. 

    It was time to 
    say good bye,
    unless he wished
    to convince her to 
    stay. Most of all
    she needed to say 
    Thank you.

    It was mid day and the weather was cooling dramatically. Winter was upon them and so were harsh conditions. His attention turned from his day dreams to the Falls as he heard a whinny similar to that of Lillex. He broke into a jog and made his way over to the appaloosa mare. She was almost healed physically now. He was happy to see her on her feet and able to talk, well able to hold herself up even.

    As he reached the mare he stood before her "Good afternoon Lillex, how are you feeling today?" he asked curious to her health, surviving an attack like that could not have been easy to recover physically or mentally. Although something was odd about the mare, she did not seem happy about the conversation they would hold today.

     The warm fall
       sunshine felt 
         good against the pelt.

    Leaves slowly fell
       drifting downward
         to the ground which
           would soon freeze and
            winters death grip would soon
               envelop this beautiful place.

    Lillex looked up
    at the pinto's approach.
    Oddly enough
    she was happy to see him.
    This almost 
    made her feel uneasy.

      The spotted femme does not
      know how to recognize affection
      in her self or others.

    She could tell however
    that this soul was gentle,
    special, caring, and for that
    she did owe him but what
    she did not know.

    "I am doing much better now
    thanks to you. I do appreciate 
    all you have done. I hope your
    sunshine queen is not to angry
    with me for staying here. Though 
    I suppose I have stayed past my 
    welcome and should be leaving. I
    would not want to cause anymore 
    friction for you after all you
    have done for me."

    The stag turned from relieved to anger to sad in the short conversation they had. she was leaving?  she could not leave, she had just been healed. She has not even had the chance to explore the kingdom. Jedi knew Lillex would love a life at the Falls, he knew that Ashara and Ygritte spoke harsh words in the earlier weeks, but they just wanted to heal her. It was foolish to not accept the help, but it was a choice Lillex made for herself.

    "Lillex, please don't leave; you will love it at the Falls" he begged. He came to enjoy the mares company, aside from boarder patrol and the casual conversations with the herd he did not do much. He would love the company of Lillex from time to time, and he knew the kingdom would enjoy her as well. She may be damaged but she could always help the kingdom out. "Ashara and Ygritte just wanted to help, they are great woman, you would like them!" he spoke the truth, Ashara and Ygritte were amazing and anyone would be a fool to not converse with them. Jedi flicked his ears back showing his irritation with her desire to leave.

    Her ears flick
    atop her cranium
    as she listens to 
    him speaking.

    She has in some
    ways grown fond
    of his quiet 
    company. 

    Part of her 
    did want to 
    stay here with
    him.

    Part of her yelled
    she is a fool because
    others were not 
    capable of truly
    caring or loving
    her.

    It was sad to 
    think that maybe
    you are meant to 
    be alone forever. 

    It was sweet
    of him to offer
    and when he said 
    "Dont leave"
    she almost even 
    believed him
    enough to stay.

    "Lets be honest
    what do I have to 
    offer you all here?
    Nothing, I have no 
    skills. I am not one
    to thrive in social
    situations. I would
    only weigh you down 
    as I have since I 
    met you."

    The stag was irritated in the mares decision to leave, Jedi has been with here since he found her battered and mangled half dead. He never expected her to leave the kingdom, he has grown to know the mare and enjoyed her company. He listened as the mare said she was of no use to the kingdom. He shook his head in disbelief, he believe the mare could be useful. She could watch the foals while the other ventured off. There was always a position for others. The mare may be emotionally scarred but she could over come it. He could see the mare as a care taker of the herd, for the foals at least. They are easier to handle, they don't fuss as much.

    "Lillex, please don't leave. You haven't even seen the Kingdom in all its beauty. You will love the Falls, and we can always use an extra body regardless what you have to offer." he gave a last attempt to keep the mare in the Falls, he could not see another kingdom taking her in and treating her how she should be.

    Restless
      curious
        forward
        backward
    motion.

    Life is like
    a wave constantly
    ebbing and flowing
    back and forth.

    First is is sucked
    back, pulled into 
    the oceans body-
    then it starts to 
    gather and the moon
    pulls it up until
    it crashes back
    down on the sand.

    Up and down,
    sometimes
    gentle and
    sometimes 
    harsh.

    Which part of
    the motion was
    this?

    "Tell me, 
    honestly,
    why does it
    mean so 
    much to you
    if i stay?"

    The mare asked him why she wanted him to stay, he did not know what she wanted him to say. He was not interested in courting her, she was clearly not in the right mind to have a foal. He would not beg her to stay, if it was her wishes to depart the Falls than he would let her.

    "Lillex, the Falls can always benefit with you being around. There will always be something you can do around here." the truth seeped from his mouth. The mare could always have a job in the Falls, even if it was to watch the foals while the others went off. Alas he hesitated to finish his sentence "And....I have grown to enjoy your company" he said it. He had not intentions of courting, but he had cared for this mare while she was healing and over the time he has grown to enjoy her company, and it would be odd to not see her every day.

    Confusion
    Delusion
    lack of
    conclusion.

    Life is all an illusion.

    Lillex questioned
    herself.
    Anytime she was alone
    the flash backs start.
    It goes dark.

    There is a snarl
    ripping
    tearing
    aching
    bleeding
    flesh.

    What did his
    words mean?

    What did the
    awkward way
    she felt mean?
    (the awkward
    way he made her
    feel)

    It was like
    she had
    swallowed a
    bunch of butterflies.

    Her stomach
    a flutter.

    "Honestly I
    have nowhere
    to go. If it means
    that much to you
    I suppose I could
    stay here a bit longer
    until I figure out
    what I am going
    to do with my
    broken self anyway."

    The stag grew a smile as Lillex agreed to stay at the Falls. It was such a beautiful kingdom, the best option for sure. It would be odd to meet Lillex again as another Kingdoms member. "I'm glad to here you will be staying?" he gave a nicker and turned around trotting back towards the heart of the Falls. He stopped looking behind him to Lillex "The kingdom has really grown since you last interacted, there is always a horse around!" he knew this would be stressful to be around so many horses, but it could grow to be calming as most of the horses were friendly that he encountered. She could gain a friend other than Jedi if she chose too open up to them.
