Niko did not dream while he slept, and for that he was grateful. He did not want to see the figure, who he still could not understand who it could be. He also feared he would return to hating Nienna, he didn't know how dreams could alter his feelings but he was worried he might harm her if in that state.
Niko rolled over and was conscious for a few moments, seeing Nienna he reached to her with his hand before falling back asleep.

She grasped his hand as he reached for her. She caressed his hand with her thumb, hoping his dreams were pleasant if he was having any. The blankets had slipped off his shoulders, and she pulled them back up. She was worried for him. She had never seen him in that state of mind before, and it broke her heart. Whatever had come over him? She had no clue. She watched him, tears filling her eyes. He still felt guilty about the whole thing, she knew. He had seemed horrified when he had realized what he had said to her. She knew she still loved him despite what had happened or what would happen. That would never change.

Niko slept soundly for a while before once again his dreams became troubled.
He found himself once again face to face with the figure,this time they were close to the edge of a cliff. The wind blew heavily and he heard thunder and saw lightening.
The figures hood fell and he saw Nienna.He began to tremble in his sleep. To his horror, he saw she was bleeding, from her nose and mouth. Niko dropped to his knees,as she looked down on him. It began to rain, but it was not water that fell.it was blood. She fell from the cliff as Niko woke with a cry, in a cold sweat and trembling uncontrollably.

She jumped as he cried out and awoke, then she gathered her trembling Niko in her arms, rocking him gently and stroking his hair "Shhh, love, it's alright. You had a nightmare, nothing more. I'm here, Niko." she tried to soothe him. He was trembling violently, and he was drenched in a cold sweat. She pulled the covers rights around him and reached for the water flask, then changed her mind and went straight for the bottle of ale. She uncorked it and held it to his lips "Drink, dearest..." she whispered, concern plainly evident in her voice and face.

He drank the ale, still trembling and spilling a little on his chest. He moved closer to her, unable to speak.
What did the dream mean? was it a premonition?
He was scared, for Nienna. Niko lay his head on her lap, tears began to leave his eyes.
What was happening to him? Where did they come from?

"niko?" she saw the tears and cupped his face "Niko, what is it? What happened?" she wiped the spilled ale from his chin and chest, and met his gaze "Tell me, love." she pressed a kiss to his forehead, worried for him. She could see from the haunted look in his eyes that the dream had been terrible, and real to him.

He paused, trying to collect himself.
"You......died.I couldn't... Help. All bloody"
He was still trembling, his tears were beginning to subside. Niko didn't know what to think or what to do. He needed to keep her safe.

Her face showed her shock, but only for a moment before she gathered him closer, cradling his head to her chest. "I am here, alive, and safe." she stroked his hair, and kissed his head. "Nothin happened, it was a dark dream you had. A dark nightmare, Niko. It didn't really happen, an it won't happen." she tried to reassure herself with her own words as well. A dream that terrifying....if it were her in his stead she knew she would have reacted the same way. Yet if it were her, the dream may have some roots in reality. She set her mouth in a grim line as she held him closer. What if his dreams held some meaning as well? She wouldn't let him see or feel what she was thinking, So she rocked him more as she held him, her lips still pressed to his head. She kept murmuring to him, hoping to ease his fears.

He began to calm down, though he still trembled
"I'm sorry.". He was scared for her, he had to protect her.
Niko breathed easier as she spoke to him, grateful for her words. He was too scared to fall asleep, would he have these dreams each time he slept?

"There is nothing to be sorry for, sweetheart." she touched her forehead to his, willing that peace enter his mind and body. He had woken up more tired than when he had fallen asleep. she felt her forehead grow warm against his, an she shut her eyes, willing the peace to keep flowing into him. If he had peace, he would not have nightmares.

As she brought her head to his, he began to feel better. "Angel" he could not tell her how thankful he was for her comfort.
His eyes began to close, he was calm now enjoying her touch. He fell into a peaceful sleep.

She breathed out when he had fallen asleep peacefully. She held his head in her lap as he slept, keeping watch over him. She knew they could not stay much longer, for morning's first light was just beginning the creep out over the horizon. She marveled at the beauty, then looked to her husband. She decided to wait and let him sleep until he woke up, he desperately needed it. She traced his cheek and jaw with her finger then set her hand gently upon the side of his face. How he had taken care of her, how he had loved her and accepted who she really was. She owed him her life. "Le melon." she whispered as a soft smile played on her lips. She would take care of him. When he cried she would wipe every tear from his eyes, and when he would scream she would fight away all of his fears. She would hold his hand for all the years to come that they had together, and he would have all of her.

It was just early morning as Niko woke. He opened his eyes to see Nienna looking down on him. Smiling, he kissed her and pulled her into a hug.
''I'm sorry I did not let you sleep'' He had slept soundly, without a bad dream as she had calmed him earlier.
Niko knew that they should keep moving.
''Shall we leave now?''

She returned his kiss and embraced him. "Shush, you needed it more than me." she smiled and kissed his nose. "Aye, we should keep going." she gathered her stuff and hopped on Raven first, and grinned down at him. "Better if we take turns." her look turned serious "I am glad you were able to sleep better."

He nodded and then stood up, packing away his things. He yawned and stretched before joining Nienna on Raven.
''I am happy as well. It was you that helped me sleep, thank you''
He put his arms around her waist and lay his head on her shoulder.
''To Rivendell then''

"I only did what I needed to." she smiled and leaned back against him. She set Raven at a steady pace through the fields. They would be there soon, she noted. She became nervous. What if they sent Niko and her away? Her brow furrowed. Well, she wouldn't know until they got there. Raven champed at the bit, pulling at the reins. Nienna chuckled "Alright girl, but only for a bit!" she loosened her grip, and Raven took off with a joyful whinny.
