Respite and Dreams

Erani

Erani was curled in her alcove, drifting on a gentle river of sleep, nose tucked under her tail. Winter had arrived, and she had gathered as much as she could in the season. It wouldn?t stop her from collecting barks from medicinal trees, but it lowered her activity slightly, even with the impending war and Training. She missed Nova? She missed Cairo. She missed her children, and Epiphron. She missed the Old land sometimes. It all weighed down on her shoulders, and she wondered how much of a toll the war would take from her, and Valhalla itself.

But for now, she was escaping the real world, sleeping, dreaming. They were light, insubstantial dreams, none meaning a thing. The kind of dreams you remember only vaguely and then forget after an hour. One blurred image after another. Peaceful until images of Valhalla strewn dead in the snow ripped through them, jolting her awake with a soft gasp. She blinked at the alcove wall, the empty alcove wall. She shook herself then turned her eyes to look out the alcove at the den, faint starlight barely making a difference in the pitch black of the den. Slowly she settled her head on her paws, eyes closing, and she tried to get back to sleep.
