Nightmares?

[Nox]

Nox didn't think waiting was going to be a good idea. Dreams faded with time. With so many images vivid or not they were going to fade. "The longer you wait the less accurate and more faded they will become."
He knew that from personal experience. He'd tried drawing his dreams, but his drawings sucked. And the longer between them and the drawing they were not as clear, but it was her call. He wasn't going to pressure her.

She was calming down and that was a good thing. But he knew the fear of nightmares, it was why he was up at 4am without fail. Even the thought of seeing the hellhounds in his dream again gave him pause when he went to sleep.

Elyse changed the topic to her parents. Another thing Nox wasn't going to be able to offer any real solid advice. "The longer you stay in this house, the less likely your parents will understand why you are here. Staying with me brands you a traitor, Elyse. They don't have to know what you are. But they will hunt you with the rest of us. Your parents may understand if they hear it from you."
Nox could only hope that a parent's love was stronger than their love of the Atharim ideals. He wouldn't ever know - his parents were both long dead when he found out he wielded the power of the gods. He could only hope that Elyse's parents would understand.
