Still Your Mind

Ashiel had been dealing with nightmares of his own. Fire, fire and more fire. There'd been a voice speaking to him but he could not make out what the voice had said, nor whether it was a man or woman that spoke. He remember the smell of blood burning in his nose but not the rest of the dream. He didn't think it was any sort of premonition, just a run of the mill nightmare but there were times when he wondered how exactly he was supposed to know the difference? He supposed if it happened again then he'd have his answer.

He'd been resting quietly outside his den, feeling invigorated by the cool night air when he saw little Aureus sneaking off. His first thought was to wake the boys parents but he hated to do that unless it was absolutely necessary. Malleus and Serene needed their rest. So he followed the kid all the way back to the Cattail Creek. A massive host of fireflies twinkled around them. "Aureus, are you alright?"
