Eleshna stopped for a moment as she pulled out her blanket, watching the dragon's behavior closely. Something tugged at her mind, telling her there was something not right, but she was enjoying the feeling of freedom too much to pay the nagging feeling any heed.

Shrugging slightly, she brushed the thought from her mind, sitting down and laying back to stare towards the stars. But the nagging feeling returned and Eleshna's expression grew troubled as her thoughts wandered while her eyes roamed over the endless stars.

Jaden could tell Eleshna was troubled and he could guess why... "I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. I've never known Azher to know something that is worth worying about and not let me know in one way or another." Jaden asured her sitting down beside her and tacking her hand with his, his other arm wraping around her shoulders.

Eleshna smiled and gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "I suppose you're right, but I can't help the feeling that something might go wrong."

She chuckled slightly, smiling, "But I'm so deep in all this freedom and joy too much to be overly worried about anything..."

Scanning the land around for a moment with her gaze, Eleshna let out a quiet sigh, finally shrugging off the feeling fully and smiled, leaning her head sideways against Jaden's shoulder. "It has been the most relaxing travel I have ever encountered, and seems that nothing could ever spoil it, nothing could ever come between the time we're able to spend together." She pondered quietly, tilting her head slightly to look towards the stars.

"I hope that's true. I don't want anything to end it." He said thoughtfully and softly. "Just for good mesure what do say to having Azher stay watch tonight?" he asked.

Eleshna nodded her agreement and turned her head to kiss him gently on the cheek. "I think that would take a bit of pressure off our minds."

Her thoughts wandered for a moment, as she concidered what the feeling might have been, and why it was so strong at first, then nearly vanished. The Shadows... what of them... perhaps they have vanished, her thoughts ran silently, then faded as she relaxed, reminding herself that they often vanish for several years before ever returning.

"You better get some sleep. I'll go look around and tell Azher to set up watch." he said as he leaned over and kissed her on the cheak

Eleshna nodded with a smile, moving over to stretch on her side over the blanket she had laid out. She barely had a moment to think before she fell asleep, giving hardly any heed to her suroundings, her awareness well relaxed.

Jaden walked around the area, looking around for anything. Azher went with him as well to inform him of anything Jaden didn't notice. But everything seemed safe and in order so Jaden set Azher out to watch and found a good place to sleep for the night.

Eleshna awoke before the morning even began to dawn with a sense of foreboding, a chill wind suddenly picking up to stir her cloak and hair as she stood to glance around, hugging her arms to herself and shivering.

Looking intently into the darkness which still clung to the land, the moon cloaked by clouds, she took her time glancing over each shadowed area, then finally relaxed.

The dream wasn't real, the Shadows really hadn't come back, and Jaden was still asleep, safe, unharmed, the both of them. Eleshna sighed quietly, sitting down and resting her chin on her knees.

Dispite his own reasurance that everything would be alright, and that of Azher, Jaden had been put a bit on edge before going to sleep. Hearing Eleshna stir in her sleep and getting up was enough to wake him.

He opened his eyes slowly, not knowing what to expect the noise to be. Then he saw Eleshna. Jaden sat up. "Are you alright?" he asked her.

(by the way nice Avatar)

(*grins* Thanks, I drew it. Titled it Haunting of the Shadow... *points towards the barely visible figure in the background of it*)

Eleshna glanced over towards Jaden, giving a momentary smile. "I'm fine... just felt a bit uneasy... guess it was just the dream," she replied quietly. "Sorry for waking you.."

(cool. Nice drawing!)

"That's alright." Jaden replied standing to his feet. Walking over he placed his hand on her shoulder and asked, "Are you gona be able to get back to sleep?"

Eleshna shook her head with a slight sigh. "I don't think I could. Besides, I slept well enough until the dream... dreamt of the shadows," she murmured. "That they returned and found that I was no longer master of them because I lacked my sword, and they then turned on us."

She shook her head slightly as though to rid herself of the thougt. "Now it gives me a new fear, but I will refuse to listen to it, for it is in their nature to vanish for several years after a heavy battle."

"Hey, we got away once we can do it again if it comes down to it." he said giving her a reasuring hug.

"I woun't let anything happen to you."

Eleshna nodded with a smile, returning the hug. "And I would never let anything happen to you, Jaden, as long as I live."

"You want to get started traveling?" he asked her.

It was still dark but it would soon be light enought hat they could see well enough for travel.
