Eon woke up in the middle of the night. The only light was the glowing coals of last night's fire. A cold sweat had broken out on his forehead. 'It was just a dream.' He shook his head trying to clear his thoughts.
Rielen stirred next to him. That was right he was back home. That cell was far away. Those things were far away. 'There is no reason to be afraid.' He breathed deeply.
Still feeling unsettled, Eon decided to train the thoughts away. He quickly changed into training gear and slipped from the room he shared with Rielen. Eon used the training ground that was used by the Royal Guard and eased into the familiar training exercises.
Sometime after the sun rose he returned. Seeing Rielen snoozing in bed he cleaned up quickly before taking in her breakfast. Setting the tray of food down he brushed a few tendrils of hair from her face.
