Walking around the Elysium forest had always been one of his favorite pastimes. Today, however, his walk ranked in his top 5 favorite experiences of his life. Today he had told Anaya he loved her. Today she had told him she loved him. Today they had walked together along the sun dappled paths until pain and hunger had called them back to camp. As he lay on his bed, fingers laced behind his head, he couldn’t seem to stop smiling. His mind replayed moments. Their lips brushing, her eyes sparkling, her hand in his. Sleep remained elusive for a long while as he basked in the glow he still felt. However, sleep did claim him eventually. Though not for as long as he would have thought. anaya isobel morne

Anaya was so tired. The past few days had been totally exhausting and today was no different. Percy made her face the fact that Illyana was gone. He told her he loved her and kissed her. Okay, that was definitely the highlight of her year. The only problem was that they couldn't just stay together all the time. A different day, she might have reached out to him telepathically and just talked until she was tired enough to fall asleep, but she was too tired to do that. Her eyes wouldn't stay open. However, even though she went to bed thinking of her wonderful day with Percy, her dreams were everything but. She started dreaming that she was flying with Illyana. It was so peaceful and nice, but then it shifted. They were under attack and the scene was extremely familiar. Anaya knew exactly what was going to happen, but she couldn't stop it. She watched Illyana die again and again and again. She was losing it. Somewhere in the middle of it all, she remembered Percy. "Percy!" she screamed to him in her dream, not realizing that she was actually yelling at him telepathically. She didn't wake up, she just shook in her bed, shaking, trembling and whimpering as she watched Illyana die over and over. PERSEUS CAREW

Ryluth was wearing bunny ears and dancing with Jankin around a fire while Percy clapped his hands together to the beat of the music. Weddings were a wonderful thing. He never thought he would be the best man at Jankin's-- "PERCY"The scream ripped him from his dream causing him to bolt upright in bed blinking furiously. He had been dreaming about... Jankin and he was getting married to... That wasn't important now. Anaya had screamed. And he was fairly certain that wasn't part of his dream. Grabbing a shirt from the side of his bed he stumbled out of his living quarters. Percy struggled to pull his shirt on as he staggered through the camp, trying to get to Anaya's tent. He was fairly certain he knew where it was. In the daytime he for sure knew where it was. He was just pulling his shirt down when he walked into what he thought was Anaya's tent. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Kate and her sister Kristin sat on the ground braiding each other's hair. Percy struggled to pull his shirt down the rest of the way, but it was stuck on his elbow and it took him several seconds before his well sculpted abdomen was covered. "I'm so sorry, I thought this was someone else's tent. You ladies just go back to... whatever you were doing." He turned and ran out of their tent, his bare feet cold against the dirt of the forest floor. Where on earth was Anaya's tent? He forced himself to calm down, and wake up, and take stock of his surroundings. Rolling his eyes, he realized he would have had the right tent if he had been two rows over. He quickly made his way over there and flung open the tent flap. Anaya was laying on her bed, completely asleep. She should have looked peaceful, but instead her face was contorted in pain and she was glistening with sweat. "Anaya!" He said as he rushed over to her, sitting on the side of her bed. He grasped her arm just below the shoulder and shook her gently. "Anaya, wake up. I'm here."anaya isobel morne

Illyana was falling and Anaya was falling with her yet again. She was starting to realize that this wasn't reality. She couldn't witness Illyana's death ten times and have them all be reality, could you? Unless there was such a thing as a time dragon who could manipulate ... no, that couldn't be true. Still, she couldn't wake herself up. She was stuck, until she started shaking. That ... that wasn't part of the dream, was it? She woke up hearing a familiar voice saying her name, telling her to wake up. "Percy?" she said, her cheeks tear-stained. It was him. Anaya sat up and wrapped her arms around him, holding him close. "Percy thank you. That- that was terrible," she breathed against him, resting her head on his shoulder, her body still trembling. She kept her eyes open, not wanting to see Illyana dying again. "How did you know?" Anaya asked curiously. PERSEUS CAREW

It took a few desperate moments of shaking but then Anaya was awake. She curled into him, resting her head on his shoulder. He held her tightly, not knowing what had been so terrible but believing her. "You called me. Telepathically. Woke me up actually. I got here as fast as I could."He kissed her head. "I'm only sorry I wasn't faster." He thought about asking her what the dream was about, but decided against it. She could talk about it if she wanted. Percy held her for a long time, not giving any indication that he wanted to let go, because he didn't. He wasn't about to leave unless she forced him too. anaya isobel morne

He held her close and Anaya felt her body relaxing in his arms. If Percy was here, everything would be okay. He couldn't stop her from having bad dreams, necessarily, but how could she have bad dreams when Percy was with her. She shook her head when he apologized for not coming faster. "You came. You woke me up." Anaya paused for a second. "I'm sorry I woke you up though. I didn't mean to, but ... I'm so glad you came." She scooted closer to him, breathing deeply. They sat together in silence for a long time. Anaya's heartbeat slowly retreating to a normal pace. After a while she spoke again, "I was dreaming about it. That day," she whispered, assuming he would know she was talking about the day she lost Illyana. "I don't want to go back to sleep." PERSEUS CAREW

Anaya seemed amazed that he came for her. After all the time she had saved him, comforted him, loved him when he didn't deserve it. He had a lot of ground to make up for. "I don't mind." He said even as he yawned. "Seriously, I think it is a good thing you woke me up, my dreams were getting bizarre." She scooted closer to him and he sifted so they could sit side by side with his arm around her shoulders. Percy thought about saying something else, about making a joke, telling her he loved her again. But nothing seemed right, so he just sat with her, resting his head on hers. It was a while before Anaya broke the silence. Her words chilled him. He knew what she was talking about. That day. He had one too. And he had dreams about it. Not often any more, thankfully, but still. "Then don't. We can just sit here, awake and comfortable. There isn't a rule that says you have to sleep at night." He adopted a slightly joking tone, hoping to put her at ease, erase the discomfort of remembering why she was awake in the middle of the night in the first place. anaya isobel morne

Percy insisted that he didn't mind she woke him up, that his dreams were weird. "What kind of bizarre dreams do you have?" she asked curiously, mostly just wanting to hear his voice. She smiled when he said that she didn't have to sleep. Anaya smiled, ready to try and lift the mood. She didn't want to sit here and think about her dream. She wanted to smile and laugh with him. "Okay, so what should we do?" she asked, turning to face him and crossing her legs up on the cot. "We should do something fun," Anaya suggested. She had no idea what they should do, but maybe Percy could help her come up with something good? PERSEUS CAREW

She wanted to know about his dream. Percy looked up in thought. "Well... Jankin was getting married. I remember that, and it was to someone totally unexpected.. who----oh. It was Ryluth!" a laugh burst out of his chest and he tried to quiet it, remembering that other people were sleeping. He chuckled softly, enjoying the feeling of his arm around her shoulders. And then she moved, turning to face him and crossing her legs in front of her, eager for a distraction. What should they do? Something fun... probably not that. He Turned toward her, one leg still hanging off the side of the bed. "Well, we could go for a walk. We could go out and stargaze. Maybe... uh, make pie?" His ideas were not the best this time of night. except apparently when he was asleep. Maybe Jankin should get married.... anaya isobel morne

Anaya laughed, covering her mouth to try and stifle it, when Percy explained more about his dream. It was hilarious! As much as she liked Jankin, she couldn't really imagine him with any of the dragons she knew, and Ryluth? Anaya couldn't imagine the Dragon Queen getting married. She was vicious. As she expected, Percy was down for a distraction. She giggled at his ideas, shaking her head a little bit. "I like the walk idea ... or the stargazing. We could bring blankets and pillows so we won't get too cold ..." She looked up at Percy with a sweet smile, hoping he actually liked his own idea. "What do you think?" PERSEUS CAREW

Percy stood up draping a blanket across his arm like butler with a towel. ”I think that sounds like a great idea. Shall we?” He asked extending his hand to her. A little while later, away from the glaring campfires and the trees, the two situated themselves on the top of a hill. This provided them with an uninterrupted view of the sky in all it’s nighttime glory. Percy spread a blanket out on the grass and sat down on it, arranging a pillow so he could lay down and look at the stars in comfort. ”Do You have a favorite constellation?” He asked, genuinely curious. It was a little chilly out tonight. It reminded him of cold nights when he slept next to Shenya under the protective cover of her wing. He smiled fondly at the memory. Jankin would have none of that when they weren’t on missions. He said he enjoyed not being poked and prodded all through the night by Percy’s elbows and knees. Percy was fairly certain he just wanted to sleep on his own, and that didn’t bother him at all. anaya isobel morne

Anaya took his hand when Percy offered it to her, smiling as she stood up next to him. She grabbed a blanket as well and before she knew it the two were wandering around together. She let Percy take the lead, not exactly sure if he had somewhere in mind or not. He seemed to, leading her to a hill where there was a great view of the sky. She smiled as she sat down beside him, pulling her blanket on top of her and offering a part of it to him. She glanced over at him when he asked about her favorite constellation. "Yeah, I do actually." Anaya looked up to the sky, searching for the three stars in a row, then she pointed up at them. "I like Orion's belt." It was one of the easier constellations to find, which was probably why she liked it so much. "Do you have a favorite?" she asked as she scooted a little closer to him. What? It was cold, and she just liked being close to him. PERSEUS CAREW

Percy took the offered blanket, settling down under the warmth it provided. Granted that warmth was greatly improved when Anaya snuggled a little closer to him. He moved his arm under her head, letting her use it as a pillow. Orion’s Belt. ”Did you know it is also called “The Three Kings” or “The Three Sisters” I wonder how they got Orion to stick...” He said as he looked up to the sky and found the constellation. It really was a beautiful night. Though that might be influenced by the company he was keeping. ”My favorite is Ursa Major. The Big Dipper” He said pointing it out to her with his other arm, even though she probably knew where it was. Most dragon riders, in fact most people, learned how to navigate using the stars. She should know where it was, he had taught her about it. He fingered a strand of her hair as they talked, twirling it gently in his fingers. anaya isobel morne

Lying here with Percy, looking up at the sky as she rested her head on his arm just felt right. After everything that happened the past year, she needed something like this. Something peaceful where she could feel wanted and special, without even really talking about it. Before, she thought that being on her own would help her the most, but now Anaya wasn't so sure. Being able to talk and just be with Percy was helping her more than she could ever have imagined. She smiled when he told her other names for her favorite constellation. "Oh, I've never heard those before. I like them." It was much more interesting to Anaya to think of those stars as people than as someone's belt. Of course. The second Percy explained which was his favorite, Anaya started to grin. It was no surprise to her that he liked that one best. He'd always loved it before. She remembered when she first became a Rider and he taught her to find it, checking up with her later to make sure she remembered which one it was. She chuckled softly, "I should have known. You always insisted I should know where that one was." She turned slightly so she could look up at him. "I thought of you every time I saw it during the last year," Anaya admitted in an even quieter voice as she felt Percy playing with her hair. Part of her could hardly believe this was happening, that he loved her and wanted to be with her, that he was holding her like this. She loved it. PERSEUS CAREW

They continued discussing stars, pointing out different constellations, making up names for others. "That one there," Percy said once, "The one that looks like a drunk cloud, I think we could name that one after that man. You know the guy who is always there at every party but no one knows where he comes from? It make sense!" He joked, laughing generously at his own joke. The hour was getting to him. He looked from the sky to Anaya. "Have I mentioned today that I love you?" He asked, kissing her nose. He knew that part of him, a very small part, protested getting together with Anaya. They had been friends for so long. Now if something were to happen, who would he turn to when things got difficult? But that was just the thing. He had always gone to her for everything. Why not go to her in love as well. It seemed a perfectly logical leap in their relationship. Granted they hadn't seen each other in a year, but what did that have to do with love? Nothing. Looking back at the sky, Percy signed contentedly, the let his head roll, resting on hers and closed his eyes. "I wish nights like this could last forever." He whispered, sleep seeming to catch up to him quickly now that his eyes were closed. anaya isobel morne
