    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

    Bound for trouble from the start
    I've been walking through this old world in the dark

    Taiga’s fall has now become common knowledge. He thinks of the wolf shifter, fresh from unknown torture. Does Taiga still stand? A pang of guilt, he could not have known that even as they spoke the land was being burned alive, swallowed by the sea. He hopes Crevan is not too crushed by the loss of his home. Remembering when he had been spit out from the confines of Carnage’s cave only to discover the Gates charred remains. The loss felt ten fold thanks to the haunting trauma he had endured.

    Since the last Diplomatic meeting, he had not heard much from the others. Nymph had been absent and Warrick busy with his family. However the time was ripe to meet again and with the new promotion and the other Ambassador missing, it seemed to fall on his shoulders. Quietly he saunters through the ashland, hooves crunching the thin layer of snow beneath him as he seeks out the two stallions. The one eyed stallion was much changed since the last time he had spoken to either of them, the new responsibility (fatherhood, love) that had fallen across his shoulder the easiest burden to carry thus far.

    He wastes no time in getting to his point, the reason why he has gathered them all together. ”With Taiga gone and not many showing up to the last meeting, perhaps it’s time to gather new information.” A pause as lanky flaxen tendrils flick lightly against his hocks. ”Maybe this would be a good time to take the children out with us, to see a little more of the world and a little more on kingdom life. ” Smoak, so eager to extend his leash, is on the forefront of his mind. Dahmer would be staying close to home as part of the Guard and he feels Ellyse will appreciate the gesture.

    The gold flecked eye looking to the dark Overseer. ”What do you think?” Ultimately it was up to him where they should go, what they should do. What the next step was. Either way the need to be proactive was making him restless. They should not be sitting ducks.

    like the sun swallowed up by the earth
    It is no secret that Carnage had come to Beqanna and with the faeries, joined in their destruction of Taiga. The glow of the fire from the great forest had been easily seen from Tephra’s many coasts, hauntingly lustrous in the distance. The destruction caused Warrick to remain on edge, to patrol the skies and make sure the fire and water came no further, and kept Tang and the twins close to him. He grows restless as the sight, sounds and smells from Taiga continue to diminish, answering quickly to the one he had met not too long ago.

    In one fell swoop, the blue-bay stallion lowers himself expertly before Ledger, his wings extending fully as he plants his hooves softly into the earth with grace and ease. He gives the giant wings a few shakes, rustling the ground beneath them, before folding them into his withers and letting the navy feathers fall smoothly against his russet sides.

    “Ledger,” he greets the stallion, his intense blue eyes meeting Ledger’s one. “It’s good to see you,” The two had only met once before, and Warrick is glad to see him taking responsibility in his new position despite the absence of Nymphetamine and Dahmer’s new role in the guard. Warrick’s tail flicks absentmindedly against his ankles, his blue lips pressing together thoughtfully. The idea is good, but his mind cannot let him forget the venom in Nayl’s voice and the precarious situation Tephra now has between Nerine and perhaps with Sylva now, too. He snorts sharply, tossing his head as he did so, as if to clear the many thoughts running throughout his mind, and to focus on the situation at hand.

    “The children are growing older,” he muses agreeably, a simple nod of his head to accompany his voice. “It is about time they begin to see and learn that there are responsibilities that come with living in a kingdom. It’s not a bad idea.”

    Warrick’s eyes shift to Offspring, lifting his chin slightly in the Overseer’s direction. “Can we agree that Nerine and Sylva are out of the question for visitation, for now? If a fire is to be set beneath Nayl to give her reason to begin something with us, I’d rather not have the children be a part of it.” He brings his chin to his chest, the folded wings at his sides shuffling slightly as he flexes them instinctually.
