After some time Niko woke, he slowly opened his eyes and stretched his arms out, relaxing. His hand moved expecting to find Nienna, but it appeared she had left. He turned and saw her standing just outside, the moonlight shining on her giving her pale glow.
Truly an angel
He got up and walked towards her, putting his arms around her waist from behind. ''How did you sleep, love?'' he nuzzled her ear and kissed her cheek, happy.

"Mmmm." she smiled and leaned back into him. "I slept well, dearest, how about you?" her hands moved to cover his Raven came over and nudged Nienna's belly again, snorting and looking at Niko. Nienna laughed. "She been doing that. I think she knows I haven't eaten." she laid her head back against his chest, enjoying the feel of him close. "Any more pain yet?" her voice was soft and concerned.

''I slept soundly. Without snoring might I add. Why don't you heed her concern and eat, for the both of us.''
He stopped at her next words before speaking again, ''No, love, nothing so far.'' In truth, Niko was glad there had not yet been a time that the pain had struck when he was asleep, dreading the shock and pain that would bring him.
He kissed her neck, ''It is quite a sight'' gesturing at how the moon looked over the forest.

She let out a breath. There had not been pain. "Good." she looked out at the moon that was casting a pale glow on the trees. "Tis beautiful." and it very much was. She loved nights like this, when the moon was full it seemed that everything contained magic. The word hit her. Magic. She wondered how strong her powers were exactly. She wanted to test it, yet she was hesitant to do so. "It makes it even more beautiful since you are here." she decided to say instead.

He laughed as she spoke. ''Since we are here'' he corrected her. Raven snorted, as if reminding them of her presence. ''Yourself included Raven''
He turned Nienna to face him and put his hands on her hips and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

She chuckled at his words and Raven's antics. She was then turned around, and his lips were on hers, his hands on her hips. His lips moved over hers and she let out a soft moan as her arms found themselves around his neck. She returned his kiss with her own passion, and her body moved closer to his in her response

He smiled inwardly as she returned his kiss. Gently breaking the kiss, he rested his head on her shoulder, pulling her into a hug.
''Le Melon'' He would never tire of telling her. He sat down just on the inside of the cave, so they could still see the view around them. Niko pulled her down so she sat in his lap and smiled at her. He looked outwards, enjoying the view and the touch of his wife.

"Le melon." she whispered back, joybsurrounding her heart. She sat in his lap, an armed curving around his neck. It was beautiful. Not only the sight, but the moment. She missed her flute. Now would be the time she would play it. But she had left it at Minas Tirith.

Niko seemed to have similar thoughts. ''Your flute would be welcomed. Though your presence is all I need''
He rested his head back on the cave wall, at ease. He began to absent mindedly stroke her back once again being grateful she was void of pain.

"Yes. But I agree. I am completely happy just to be with you." he stroked her back, and she welcomed the touch. She closed her eyes and began humming an old elvish song. A mystical sounding song, adding mystery to the moment.

As she hummed Niko began to grow tired. It sounded like a lullaby, as his eyelids began to droop.
''Melmenya'' he took her hand. He was awake but extremely relaxed, savoring her humming, and her touch.

She turned the humming into soft singing. She noticed he got tired, and she placed her fingers over his eyelids. "Sleep..." she whispered and her eyes got gold, she felt a tingling run through her fingertips.

As she closed his eyes he no longer had any strength to stay awake. His hand fell and came to a rest on her lap, and smiled at her as sleep took him.
He dreamed once again of their wedding day. Finding himself opposite Nienna in the very place they had been wed. This time Elthor did not spoil the dream. A smile came to his sleeping face as he saw himself embracing Nienna, after they had been pronounced husband and wife. ''Angel'' he said in his sleep.

She smiled as he whispered the word "angel" in his sleep. She walked back inside the cave and grabbed a blanket. Tucking the blanket around him, she tried to make him more comfortable. When she was finished she walked outside the cave, and found herself surrounded by wind. Her eyes turned gold instantly. Let's give this a try, she thought and closed her eyes, focusing her energy. The wind blew harder and circled her. She held her arms out to the sides and the wind seemed to grab hold of them. She gasped as she was suddenly lifted off her feet. She was afraid. She didn't want to wake Niko, but..."Niko!" she cried against her will as the wind took her higher

Something was wrong. Niko woke to a cry, not entirely sure what was wrong. He sprang up, the blanket dropping off him and saw Nienna.
His mouth dropped open, she appeared to be floating in the air and rising still. Running towards her he grabbed her waist and pulled her back down. He gasped in pain as he fell back hard to the ground, Nienna landing on top of him.
''What happened?''

Her arms immediately went around him and she clung tight to him. "I wanted to see...I tried to...the wind..." she didn't exactly know how to go about telling him, she was out of breath.
