(Urgh I feel like shite. Been on the go from 8 this morning on like 3.5 hours sleep. Think an early night is in order for me! Hopefully my cold will just magically go away! I leave you with this! A piece I called Eilonwyns Regret. That totally doesn't fit but sounds cool all the same x3)

The ceiling was like an inky black pit of emptiness as Eilonwyn stared up into it. Representing how she felt right now. Stuck here in Red Mountain, yet again at the cruel mercy of Tyranil.

He was right...They really do fall apart without me...

Eilonwyn gazed off into space. Her mind was racing, panicky. It kept bringing up memories of her friends, no, her family. All the hardships they had gone through. The struggle just to find out the location of the spear. The battle with Dunlammus. Her becoming a vampire…

Even after everything they had been through, she left them. Went off on her own to protect them. Determined to kill Tyranil for good. Without any help.

''Why did I leave really? Was I looking for redemption for my past mistakes? That if I somehow killed Tyranil all on my own, I’d feel better about myself?''

The Dunmer sighed as her mind whirred on. She noticed a figure out the corner of her eye. One only she could see. For it was a hallucination.

The figure was leaning against the doorframe, hidden by the darkness of her room. It slowly moved to the torchlight as Eilonwyn followed it with her eyes.

The figure grinned as it stepped into the only light in the room. It was a grin she knew very well, for she had seen it all too often.

“Eilo..” The figure whispered as it took a step towards her, holding its hand out.

“Nish…” Eilonwyn murmured, looking him in the eyes, tears welling up in her own. “I’m so, so sorry for running off on my own again. So soon after escaping Xeran as well…”

Nish continued his approach, he stood in front of Eilonwyn as she hung there. Silently, he placed his hand on the wound in her side.

“Look at the state you’ve got yourself into…”

Eilonwyn gave a soft chuckle. Already feeling better because he was beside her. “Guess I really am addicted to the pain.”

“Or maybe you like rescuing me a little too much?”

“Heh. Every Princess needs a handsome Prince to come save them Nish…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“But why do you keep doing it Eilo?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Because no-one else will?” The Dunmer said, hanging her head. Not really understanding her own minds questioning.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nish sighed softly and placed his free hand under her chin, tilting her head up to look him in the eyes. “Eilo?” He said seriously.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“''Go on. Don’t be scared.''”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I do it because it makes me feel like I have a purpose in life. It makes me feel needed…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Eilonwyn…” Nish sighed again, moving the hand under her chin and placing it on her cheek. “''You’re always needed. You don’t have to run off on your own, or rescue me all the time to prove it to yourself y’know?"''

<p class="MsoNormal">Eilonwyn smiled as tears finally rolled out of her eyes, and down her face.

<p class="MsoNormal">“''I need you Eilo. By my side. We have plans remember?''”

<p class="MsoNormal">“How could I even forget Nish…” Eilonwyn mumbled. “After we destroy Vidron, we can go to the beach. To Daggerfall…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yep!” The Breton chuckled, his expression softening.

<p class="MsoNormal">“And after the beach, we’ll build our home by the lake.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“You mean I’LL build it right?” Nish reminded her, laughing again.

<p class="MsoNormal">Eilonwyn scoffed and rolled her eyes sarcastically, giving him a stern look.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh don’t look at me like that Eilo!” He grinned. “I’ll need you to protect me from all those mean Goblins in the forest!”

<p class="MsoNormal">The Dunmer giggled to herself. “I suppose so. Wouldn’t want you to get kidnapped by them eh?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Exactly Eilo!” Nish moved to embrace her and Eilonwyns body reacted accordingly, softening, her heart pounding as if she were actually in his arms right now. She cried freely.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I have to go now Eilo…” Nish said regretfully. “''But don’t give up okay? Hold on to our plans for once all of this is over. Let them drive you.''”

<p class="MsoNormal">Eilonwyn sobbed loudly. “D-don’t go! Don’t leave me alone here!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Sadly, Nish pulled away from embracing her.

<p class="MsoNormal">“''You’ll find a way out of this. You always do…''” Nish said before vanishing.

<p class="MsoNormal">“N-nish…” Eilonwyn cried, her body shook with the power of her sobs. “Y-you’re right as a-always!” '' ''
