Chapter 19
Travels and Wonder
They were all asleep, the fire warming the cold that sorounded their bodies. Ryken was the first to rise from his sleep. He took this chance ot search for any secrets that were open in Legolas' sleep.
But even Legolas' sleep left nothing open for prying eyes to unravel. This disappointed Ryken. He longed to know what Legolas was hiding from him, and from the others. He knew when secrets were kept, it was the feel of being near that person that let him know this. This was the only thing Legolas could not keep from him.
The next was Myian. Ryken pretended he was just staring into the fire. She looked at him, from the tree on which she slept, and covered his body with her staring eyes. He knew she was always attempting to seduce him, he enjoyed toying with her mind a little to much. It drove Myian crazy when he ignored her, making him her prey and him the victim of a needy predator.
Legolas was next, suprised to see others awake from their peaceful sleep. They basicly just waited for Rouge to come from her sleep, but she never did.
Ryken tried to inch next to her and gently shake her. She then started ti wimper, still asleep. She was having nightmares again, 'The Sight' she possessed was paying her a visit.
It gave her a dream about the pink haired girl Legolas saw in his visit to the puddle at the Realm of the Merfolk. It was once again a vision of the skin changer, changing into a bear and swiping at the girl with its longs, blood stained claws.
Right before it hit her she woke from the captivating dream. She screamed and lunged at the first person she saw, Ryken. Myian was outraged and hopped from the tree, screaming out in pain as she fell to the ground. Her back was stiff and sore from the way she slept the previous night.
She landed on the ground on her left side. Legolas stood up, but Ryken removed himself from Rouge's embrace and moved to her. He told her not to move and massaged her back, checking for any misplaced bone.
When he had finished, she rose with aching shoulders.
"Ow! Something told me not to sleep on the trees arm, but I stubbornly refused. I know feel the punishment of my thoughtless actions."
Ryken moved behind her and massged her shoulders. She couldn't feel much of it underneath the thick padding underneath her tunic. She pulled down the shoulders to her upper arm, giving him a easier target. She made sure that the tunic didn't fall to low, and enjoyed the feeling of his rubbing on her shoulders.
Legolas was watching the happenings, watching the Merman take advantage of the half-elf. Little did he have of knowledge, he didn't know that she enjoyed it, feeling the strong fingers of her companion in travels massage her shoulders, relieving some of the pain she was experiencing.
He then touched the marks on her neck. She clutched them in pain and looked at him from over her pale and bony shoulder.
She pulled up her tunic and stood up from his grasp. He was regretting his curiosity of the red mark and pretended to not mind. He instead looked at Legolas who was staring at him with his emotionless eyes. He felt a shiver go up his back, as he could feel the stare shooting through him.
Myian went to Rouge who was still fear striken from the vision she had. She hated the way the vision popped in and out of her dreams. The last one she had was the one she had of Legolas coming to her. That one was a vision of future happenings and semi-happiness. The one she just had was of fear and mystery, never know if the girl woke from her sleep befroe the deadly claw pierced her lovely skin.
Myian asked her if she was fine, and Rouge nodded. Legolas began to pick up his pouch and archery equipment. The other gathered up their little belongings and they continued their journey to Rivendell.
They travled on the road which was worn grass and light brown dirt. It was a easier travel than what most had experienced before hand, but Ryken wasn't used to long travels and began to lose his pace with the others. Byt Legolas was the only one who noticed and ignored it.
They continued, until nightfall. They were drawing ever so near to Rivendell, that Legolas was about to nominate the idea of traveling at night. But he knew the decision would be unanimous to set camp. He felt it a pity to sleep again, he felt no tire from his journey, and decided he would star gaze and think the entir night.
Rouge and Ryken lost most of their vitality and basicly passed out on the cool ground next onto a fire. But Myian star gazed next to Legolas, not bothering him once, giving him upmost peace. She knew that Legolas liked the quiet and respected that. She wished she could keep some of her emotions tucked away as he did, but she couldn't.
As they star gazed into the beautiful navy sky, Legolas pointed at a akward star. It was a shooting star that was being shot towards them, closer and closer. Myian stood up by instinct, trying ot cover for safety. But nothing could hide them from what was coming...
