I had a bad dream about the Deep Roads. again. I stood up, sweating and panting. My heart was beating fast but I was in my room, in my house not there.... I heard a knock at my door and went back in my bed and cover myself in my blanket, embarrassed by the fact that I'm still having these nightmares still after a year.
"Era?" a male voice said. a nice and low voice. Fenris? I pretended to be asleep, I don't want him to worry about me and these nightmares, he already has enough on his mind with Meredith and Orsino feud and the peace of Kirkwall all together. If I'm in the mix, he will explode and I won't hear the end it!
I heard the door turned and opened, light footsteps entered and ended at my side of the bed. I smelled his cologne and heard his armor cling while he reach out to stroke my arm.
"Era, you awake?" he moved closer to me. I didn't respond, still pretending that I'm asleep. He shook me a little "Era please wake up, I heard you screaming in the library!" I guess I may been a little bit too loud? I woke up slowly to him and ask him what's wrong.
"You started screaming in the middle of the night, I got scared and tried to wake you up princess" his face says it all, he look troubled and wondering why I was screaming. I had to tell him it was because of the deep roads.I know it must trouble him too, maybe talking about it will make my dreams better.hopefully.
" it was the deep roads,Fenris, I keep having dreams about it and I can't seem to shut them out. I tried to think of other things but it keeps coming back." A tear rolled down my cheek as I keep explaining it. Fenris lifted my chin up to him and placed a kiss on my cheek than my lips.
"I know the deep roads was both terrible and good for wealth I mean and bringing back your family estate was the only reason you would go into the deep roads but I do understand the nightmares you have for which I do have rarely but your here in my arms that what put me at ease" he kissed me again more passionate this time which put me at ease. After the kissing, I place my head on his chest and slowly fell back to sleep and dreamt of fenris and I going on many adventures which help me stay asleep for the rest of the night.
