Nightmare
“So you failed to to protect everyone again?” The words echoed in the darkness that surrounded Fenrir- her fur bristled as she shook her head. “We’ve been over this! Leave me alone!” She screamed, her ears flattened back against her skull.
“Bah, you’re nothing more than a child, aren’t you? You refuse help and that’s where you fail.” Zoghan’s voice continued to echo around her followed by a bloodcurdling cackle.
“I am not a child!” Fenrir screamed louder. “Go away, leave me alone!”
“You failed to protect the Chieftan, you’re so filled with fear- and with that you will fail once more!” Zoghan’s voice rang through, chilling the Pandaren to the bone- without a second thought she fled, the darkness never seeming to end as she fell to her knees, staring at her hands, gripping the ground beneath her, panting heavily.
A low, familiar laugh caused the woman to jerk up, red and blue meeting with feral, amber eyes, a black-furred Worgen, garbed in dark robes wearing a wicked grin plastered across his muzzle stared down at her. “N-no...” She whispered, terror filled her as she turned, trying to flee once more.
She felt as though she were running through mud as she fell to the ground once more. In an instant flames surrounded her, her eyes went wide with terror as she was met once more with sharp, grinning fangs flames licking at her pelt as she let out a terrified scream swinging her claws wildly, trying to escape.

With a soft snarl Fenrir sat up, her body trembled and shook- sweat clung beneath the fur as she knocked the furs off of her- she still felt those flames lick and burn at her skin as she hugged herself. Rubbing her arms for a moment she rose from the bed, padded feet quietly moving across the stone floor of the cave she called home- She glanced back at her mate that continued to sleep. She couldn’t help but smile at the sight, knowing full well sleep did not come easily to Sabriel, grateful that she had not woken the woman.
With a shaky huff she moved outside of the small cave, hugging herself tightly as she sat- dangling her legs over the edge as she spoke softly to herself. “Ancestors I haven’t had one that bad in ages.” She closed her eyes as a cool breeze moved through her fur- she shivered and hugged herself tighter as she let out a deep sigh. “Bah...I gotta keep it together. Was just a stupid dream, that’s all.” She reassured herself.
“C’mon Fen. You’re stronger than this, don’t let some ol’ Warlock and the past break ya, not now when folk are needin’ your guidance.” She spoke firmly to herself as she shook her head, opening her eyes as she gazed up at the skies above- focusing on the sound of the night that surrounded her as she took a few calming breaths, forcing herself to relax.
The sun had begun to creep upon the horizon when the Pandaren dozed back to sleep, there on the cliffside.
