A young night elf girl wakes with a start, sweating and trying to catch her breath from the nightmare she had seen. She looks around, seeing her human mate asleep in his armor beside her, she relaxes a bit.
"It was just a dream..." She whispers to herself, pulling her knees against her chest as she sits up, "Just a horrible dream."
After a few moments, she slips from the bed and wraps a blanket around her shoulders, deciding to wander outside to the garden. A soft breeze blew, causing the trees to rustle and lilies to sway along the banks of the pond. The elf girl sits in the grass, holding the blanket close as she stares at the water quietly.
A frown dances on her lip, "What was that supposed to mean?"
Silence fell before she placed her head in her hands, crying softly to herself as the sun peaks over the hills.
"Lucy?" A man's voice spoke from behind as the sound of footsteps could be heard squishing against the soft ground.
She sniffles and glances behind her, giving a weak smile through the tears, "Yes, Gus?"
The human sits next to her, setting the lantern down and pulling her into his arms, "What's wrong dear?"
"A nightmare.. It's nothing.." she rests her head against his shoulder.
"Want to talk about it?" He rubs her arm.
She whimpers, "It was terrible... The Ironside Battalion was lying in bloodied grass with swords in their backs and bullet wounds in their chest."
"You know that will never happen. I won't let it and neither will our friends." He plants a kiss on her forehead to calm her.
"Do you really think so?" She sniffs and glances up to meet his worried gaze.
"I know so, love. Our friends are always there for us.. Now come on, you need some sleep." Gustian says, giving a reassuring smile.
