Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled before cuddling closer to Dayn since he had moved a bit. She just wanted to be close to him at the moment. A lot had happened since they had arrived....

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn turned slightly, laying on his side so he could face Arryn before wrapping both arms around her to pull her close as he nuzzled against her neck. He felt a slight nudge when she cuddled up to him, and he wanted to make her feel safe.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn kissed his cheek and pulled the covers up. "Thanks, love." After a few moments of silent, peaceful cuddling, she said, "I'm... I'm a bit tired...."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn slowly started to play with Arryn's hair as he said, "Shh, its okay. I love it when you fall asleep in my arms." He kissed her cheek before nuzzling against her again.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and relaxed, focusing on the feeling of his playing with her hair. She slowly started to drift toward sleep, though she didn't want to lose a moment with Dayn. After a short time, she was fully asleep in Dayn's arms.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn closed his own eyes and slowly started to slip away. He had smiled when Arryn finally fell asleep in his arms, but now his smile faded just ever so slightly. Now comes the only time where I can't fully protect her. The thought alone made him hold her closer. His arms, which were wrapped lovingly around her, felt useless against the attacks that came during the night. "I will always be here for you Arryn.", he whispered quietly as he rested his head against hers and slipped away.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn's nightmare started out as it normally would, back in the church. The banshees came in, as usual. But then there was the difference. Dayn stood there with her. The banshees screamed, as thy had in real life, and Dayn collapsed, as her friends had. Arryn knelt next to him, frantically trying to wake him up before she was torn away from him by the angered spirits. She fought as hard as she could, but it didn't matter. The last thing she saw before darkness took her was the knife going into Dayn's back.


Arryn sat up with a scream, still tensed to fight to save Dayn. The screams were still ringing in her ears,s so she covered her ears with her hands and closed her eyes.

 

[BookWyrm]

Not again...


Dayn sat up immediately and wrapped his arms around Arryn, pulling her head against his chest. He could feel her muscles tensed throughout her whole body. With her hands covering her ears Dayn knew it was almost pointless to try and talk to her. Instead he began to play with her hair in his usual manner. He leaned down and nuzzled against her neck as he reached around behind her and rubbed his hand against the small of her back.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked up at him for a moment, before taking her hands off her ears. She ran her fingers along his jaw, then over his back, while she checked his chest. He's.... he's okay.... She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her head into the hollow of his neck, focusing on his breathng and the feeling of his playing with her hair. Her scars ached, but she didn't want to let him go for a moment to acknowledge that. She felt tears running down her cheeks as she hugged him.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn moved to look at Arryn when he felt her pull her arms down. He watched as she carefully traced along his jaw. He gently leaned his head in against her hand as she did. When she ran her hand over his back he responded by arching it slightly as he pulled his shoulders back, letting her feel the muscles flex beneath his skin. And when she checked his chest he let her hold her hand against him for a few moments to feel his heartbeat before her took her hand in his own and rubbed her palm with his thumb. Each time she asked he had responded, letting her see and feel him there with her.


When Arryn wrapped her arms around him and lay her head against his neck Dayn held her tight and began to play with her hair again. After a few seconds he could feel the dampness of her tears against his skin, yet he still held her for a few more quiet moments before pulling back and lifting her head so that he could wipe the tears from her face. He smiled the whole time, and once he had wiped her cheeks off her leaned forward and kissed Arryn's lips ever so gently before hugging her tight.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled a bit and pressed her lips lightly against his neck as he hugged her. After a few moments, she quietly said, "It was the church again... but... it was you that got hurt, not my team.... I tried, but I couldn't help you any. I tried really hard...." She could feel the tears on her cheeks again as she explained it to him.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn hugged Arryn tightly. "Shh, Arryn. I am right here." He pulled back to wipe her tears off again, though he had a few running down his cheeks as well. He took her hand and held it against his neck to let her feel his pulse for a few seconds before he kiss her palm. "Let me hold you, my beloved." Dayn did something different this time. Instead of wrapping his arms around her, he scooped Arryn into his arms, pulled the covers up around them, and held her close against him possessively.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against him a bit as she settled against him. This was sweet of him. She was comfortable, yet very close to him. It all felt very... safe. She kissed his collarbone lightly before resting her head against his neck, the last of her adrenaline finally leaving her system as she relaxed in his arms. Everything was okay, it was all safe, and Arryn actually believed that.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn held Arryn for a while as he let both of them calm down. There was something about the way Arryn had felt that had affected Dayn through their Bond. He he become very possessive and protective of her, even though during her dream it was he who had been the victim. When they had both calmed down and were quiet and comfortable Dayn slowly laid Arryn down before laying beside her, though he did wrap his arms around her. Once they had gotten comfortable Dayn buried his face against her neck.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and pulled up the blankets a bit, before tucking her face down against his head. She felt too vulnerable if her head wasn't tucked against some part of him. He was hers, and she was his - and that fact felt great, especially at the moment. She tried not to think about the dream, everytime she did she felt the urge to check over his back to see if he was wounded.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn decided to make an adjustment. He laid his ring and pendants on the dresser next to the bed and removed his pants before shifting and curling around Arryn. He sense her feeling vulnerable, and despite loving the feeling of her laying against his neck or chest, as a wolf he could completely wrap himself around her. He hoped she wouldn't mind.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and buried her face in the fur of his neck while slowly petting him. This did feel very safe, and very warm, too. She felt herself starting to drift off after a short time, but she'd always force herself awake then, scared she'd have another nightmare and wake Dayn again.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn whined quietly before he nuzzled against Arryn. He could feel her anxiety to some degree. He wanted to make it go away, and the best way he found to put her at ease was to love on her and be close to her. <Its okay Arryn. I'll be here. Get some sleep.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded a bit and got comfortable again. He's here, no matter what the dreams say, he's okay.... She laid her hand over his paw as she settled down, slowing her breathing. It didn't take long at all for her to fall asleep, now that she let herself.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn tucked his head as close against Arryn's neck as he could before closing his eyes and purring quietly. It wasn't long before he was asleep as well.

 

[Dragongal]

In the morning, Arryn woke up very slowly. It took her a moment to realize that Dayn was a wolf before she nuzzled against his neck and slowly scratched behind his ear.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn felt something pressed against him and mussing about his head. When he woke up he realized Arryn was nuzzling against him and scratching around his ears. His tail started to wag happily as Dayn nuzzled against Arryn and licked her face.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed and kissed the top of his head. "Good morning, mo chroi."

 

[BookWyrm]

<Good morning beautiful.> Dayn gently grabbed Arryn's ear and nibbled on it playfully.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed a bit as she pulled away. She tugged the blankets away from him and over her head, waiting to see how he'd respond.
