Niko was preoccupied with his thoughts as they journeyed. His dreams were beginning to become more frequent, and to his dismay, more disturbing to him. He had seen his wife die before him, he had seen what led him to believe she was betraying him and he had been manipulated into despising her. Whatever force it was controlling the dreams, it seemed to want to split Niko from his wife. He grew worried as he thought of the last time he had been in a temper, he had almost let her die. Niko held her closer at the thought. He could only hope that the dreams and feelings would leave him.

She sighed as he gripped her a bit tighter and she relaxed into him. She soon spotted Rivendell ahead. She slowed Raven to a walk. The gates of Rivendell stood open, as though welcoming them. She ha only been to Rivendell once, as a child. She had not remembered to sheer beauty of the city. Once inside, the gates closed behind them. That could either be good or bad, Nienna thought.

They had reached and entered Rivendell. The gates had already been opened, as if they were expected. He marveled at the sight of the place. Never before had he seen such beauty. Looking around, there was no one yet to be seen. It seemed almost odd to him. As they moved further, Niko could only hope they wouldn't encounter too many problems.

Nienna swallowed. She stopped Raven . "Hello?" she called out, waiting. Soon a figure walked down some stone steps toward them. Nienna dropped off her horse and kneeled low before she could even see who it was.

Niko did the same as Nienna and got into a kneeling position as the figure approached. He chanced a glance to see it was an elven woman that moved towards them. Niko decided to remain silent and let Nienna speak as she was the one who had more right to be there, she was half elven and he himself had never been to Rivendell before. He bowed his head, waiting.

"My lady. We seek refuge here, we have---" she was cut off by the woman "I know what it is that happened. I have been watching you since the day you were born. Rivendell open's it's doors to the daughter of my sister. My name is Nearwen. I am queen of Rivendell since Elrond has left. We have a house prepared for you." she smiled and bent down, taking both Niko's and Nienna's hand, pulling them up. "Come."

Niko was slightly surprised at her words. That was Nienna's aunt? As she took their hands he realized that they were going to be shown to a house. He couldn't help but feel relieved that for now at the very least they were safe and could sleep easy. Though what would happen as he slept was a mystery to him.

Nienna was in shock as they walked. Her aunt? Queen? What? She shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose. House? There was so much going on here that she didn't understand. For the moment, she was too tired to understand. Yet she feared she wouldn't be able to sleep. Soon they came to a big house, sitting on a hill. It had spires that reflected the sun, and balconies that gracefully wrapped around it. Elves were now walking about, staring at the strangers curiously. After gasping at the beauty of the house, Nienna dipped her head to avoid the stares of the Elves.

As they walked he could see the stares they both got. He returned their looks, politely though resolutely. Niko then saw the house they were being led to, his eyes grew as he saw it. Never before had he seen such a house. Such is the work of the elves. They entered and turned to the elf. ''Le hannon'' Niko said, inclining his head in respect. This could very well be his aunt in law.

Nearwen nodded her welcome. "This is your new home, should you decide to live here. The kitchen is stocked, and there are clothes for both of you up in your rooms." she smiled and exited. Nienna was suddenly excited. "Niko! A house!" she laughed and began running around the house, exploring. She found her way to the kitchen. There was a large stone oven, a separate fireplace with a black kettle over it. She ran into the rooms that were stocked with furniture. The house was massive! She walked out onto the balcony, and went breathless at the sight. The balcony looked out over Rivendell, beautiful and gleaming inthe sunlight. Her hand went to cover her mouth.

Niko smiled at Nearwen and then took in the sight of the house. He was humbled by how big it was, he almost felt out of place. He followed Nienna as she ran through each room, clearly ecstatic. As she went out to the balcony he came and stood behind her, he took in the view and was stunned. They were truly blessed. Niko couldn't help but smile as he saw Nienna's expression.

She set both hands on the railing. "This is crazy." she turned to face him. "This is...absolutely crazy!" her eyes were wide as she looked at him. "This is our house, should we stay..." she looked at the marble floor or the balcony, still in shock.

Niko paused in thought before speaking. ''I would like to stay. For a while at least. It'll do us good to be able to both sleep without worrying about keeping watch for enemies.'' He turned and went back inside the house, sitting on the bed. Niko looked around the room, still taking everything in.

"I would like to stay as well." her eyes were twinkling as she followed him. She took one glance at him, then grabbed his shoulders and laid him down. "You are still tired. Sleep." she kissed him before leaning her forehead on his "Peace." she kissed him once more before throwing an extra blanket over him. Sitting by him, she stroked his hair back. "We are safe, love. We are safe."

As she laid him down on the bed he began to feel like he could relax.The bed itself was soft and warm, and he was now able to sleep without worry for the moment. Niko began to drift off to sleep as she sat with him. ''Le hannon, love''

"You're welcome." she smiled as he drifted off, then got his new clothes from the bed and set them on the chair next to him. She took her cloak off and hung it on a post next to the door, she didn't change her clothes yet. She walked down to the kitchen and made some tea for herself, and set a bottle of ale and a cup on the table for him when he awoke. She lost herself in cooking, and until she had a meal for him ready she didn't sit down. When she had fresh baked rolls, and a chicken, and the ale set up, she set a towel over the food to keep it warm. She sat at the table, looking out the window, sipping her tea. She could get use to this.
