The World Will Cry As We Pass By

Elysia was content as she laid upon her brother's chest, his heart beating rhythmically beneath her. It was soothing in a way that brought her back to when they were mere children. He had always been her peace. Her sanctuary. And to have him here, now in the midst of unknown lands. It was almost a miracle. That he was able to find her at all was too.

But she didn’t question it, instead she laid their listening to his soft cooing and allowed herself to relax in his embrace. Until she felt her eyes growing heavy. Stifling a yawn so he wouldn’t know just how tired she was she closed her eyes.

What was the harm in taking a nap here? Warm and safe in his arms. If anyone dared to attack them they’d pay for it with their lives anyway. So she gave into it.

Her heart beginning to match pace with his, beating as one, in complete unison. And his heat seeped into her bones, she allowed herself to drift into sleep. Small, gentle snores escaping her as she had some of the best sleep she’d gotten in months.

-Exit Ely Via Sleep-
