    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


    [open]  a sky full of song
    #11

    Nash had only ever dreamed of endless clouds and sky and even that dream had been a conflicted one. It was a place that none of his family could follow and Nashua has never wanted to leave them stranded. But there was something in him that soared when he went up into that endless blue; it was wild and vast and ... open.

    It was something he recognized in his eldest.

    And as he watches her wander around Islandres, he realizes again how terrifying it is that soon he will have to let her go to chase her own sky. How have two years gone by so fast? One moment she and Lumi had been newborns struggling to find their legs and now they were both soon-to-be young mares.

    The revelation of how fast his children are growing is tempered by the (welcome) news of how close Gale will now be.

    Nashua turns his head towards the other pegasus, eager to learn to reason for his brother's move. Mazikeen, he tells him. Even as Nash watches his daughter moving away from him, it feels like something else is coming. That eternal balance that has been preached to him all through his life; a give for a take. Though he can't see (or sense) Gale's flush, he knows what it is like to be stuck for words where it concerned the heart. His have always gotten lodged in the back of his throat.

    There is much he wants to say to Gale now - how happy he is for him. He wants to ask about this Mazikeen. Nash knows that she is associated with the shifter pack that resides in Hyaline and if Beqanna gossip is correct (which it is, about half of the time), she is their new leader. "How'd you two meet?" he asks instead.
