    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 quest]  if you go down in the woods today...

    She runs headlong into the cave, so intent on outrunning the witches and the pine-cones they hurl like grenades that she does not pause to take in her surroundings. Breathless and panting, the cave echoes with the sound of her footsteps, and she does not even notice when the walls around her begin to glow. Without thinking she follows the glowing path that they create, but when everything around her begins to shake and tremble and the crystalline creatures peel themselves from the walls she stumbles to a startled stop, her bright blue eyes going wide.

    They would be beautiful if they weren’t terrifying—the glow of the fungi glinting off the amethyst surface, casting strange shadows on the walls as they move. But the closer she looks she sees that they are the most grotesque shapes; one that crawls like a giant ladybug, another that stands tall like a disgusting praying mantis. Bugs are fucking gross even in Beqanna, and scurrying quickly, she manages to dart past them. She continues through the cave, trying to ignore all the horrifying crystal-creatures: a group of amethyst pick-me girls in one corner, each one laughing louder than the other; another one shaped an awful lot like Donald Trump, yelling things like ‘covfefe’, ‘sad!’, and ‘stop the count!!!’; and then just before the exit there is everyone Colby went to high school with, but with a high-pitched rat screech Rare manages to send them scattering.

    She makes it out of the cave but only just barely, and thankfully the creepy crystals don’t seem intent on following her out here. Taking a moment to gather her surroundings she recognizes the red desert of Pangea, but with the thick fog rolling in she can only just barely make out her surroundings. “Hello?” she calls out tentatively, unsure of where to go from here.
