I sighed in relaxation as my outstretched hands met the silk sheets of my bed. My cold body met warm arms in almost in an instance. I giggled as Orian jumped back from the cold.
"Ha! Ha! Thanks for the warning," he sarcastically thanked. "Geeze it's freezing out there." I could barely see his face buried in a mixture of his grass green and the light being only the strands of moon light filtering in between the tree branches and leaves into our bedroom. I pulled my hand up from my side and pushed all of the hair in Orian's face behind his ear. I snuggled up close to his body and closed my eyes.
Limply, my blood-soaked hands fell into the muddy puddle I was laying in. The lightening cackled as Sapphiron nudged my arm with his nose. I made no movements.
His body was so warm against my cold body that didn't seem to be warming up. He pulled me closer to his chest and said, "Wow, you're cold!"
"I don't know why," I mumbled. Even to myself I sounded distant. I frowned.
"Something is on your mind," he said, "You're making that face." I looked up from his chest into his eyes.
"You couldn't even see my face," I said with a laugh. He looked back down at me.
Ishanah summoned a great staff made entirely of light. She placed the tip against my chest and my body felt like it was on fire.
My body had a sudden burst of heat as he looked into my eyes.
"Yeah, I suppose that there's something on my mind," I shrugged.
"Like?"
"I've never seen or heard of a Night Elf dying of old age. Do we die of old age?" I asked. "You're older than me, and you've seen a lot more stuff than me; so I figured you'd know. So, do we?
Orian chuckled. "No," he said with a grin. "We don't die of old age. Is this why you feel so upset."
Another burst of heat shocked my body. "Yeah," I replied. "I was worried." I was sweating now, the heat was immense.
"What were you worried about?" he asked. I buried my face back in his chest.
Thrall and Magni were carrying me somewhere. I didn't know where, but I was lifeless and I wanted them to put me down. Though my chest was not moving, I was pretty sure I was fine and could walk on my own.
"You'll laugh at me," I muttered.
"Why would I do that? You can tell me anything," he comforted. Orian began to run his hands through my short teal hair.
"I…didn't want to live without you. I don't want to have to continue living when you die," I explained.
"You don't have to," Orian reassured again. "We'll ensure the safety of Azeroth and then we'll settle down and live forever. And when we get bored, we'll go fight some more or...whatever old people do." I laughed.
"Okay, you have to promise!" I demanded.
"I promise!!" he promised.
"You swear it?"
"As long as we live," he said with a chuckle. "I love you."
"I love you, too…g'night"
"Good night, my Eternus,"
And, I exhaled sharply.
