Vin nodded softly at Beldurs words, suddenly feeling quite comforted. She sighed softly, looking up at him while he held her hand. It was nice really, his hands were warm and they warmed her colds on up. She smiled at him and nodded, not wanting to speak and blurt something stupid out. She did as he intructed and went over to the Grey Wardens, waking them up and explaining that they were to continue on with the march. Which they all did, easily retracing their steps and quickly ended up back in Orzammar. Things from then went smoothly and they went back out on the mountains for some more rest. Vin nodded slightly and helped some other settle in and camp was put up in no time. Vin sighed and brought her bedroll a bit farther away from the group, not wanting to wake them up from the nightmares she knew were bound to come.

She quickly settled down and brought herself into a small ball inside of the bedroll for she was cold. She sighed and drifted off to sleep quickly. The first bit of sleep was good to her, getting the small, peaceful sleep that she desperately wanted. But after that the nightmares started and she was soon relieving the war in her mind, watching as Grey Wardens continued to fall and fall, much more dying in her dream than had actually died. She watched as the Brood Mother produced Darkspawn and how they had come out and killed them. She could felt her eyes twitch beneath her eyelids as well as shuddering a bit but she couldn't do anything to actually stop the dream. She then felt her ribs contrict in the dream as the Brood Mother picked her up and Vin watched as it squeezed the life out of the two people that it was holding across from her; both Beldur and Chris.

She darted up, feeling her chest rise and fall in pain as she tried to catch her breath. Looking at the sky she could tell that she had slept for maybe four hours at the most and it would be a while before anyone else woke up. She groaned softly and looked over to see Beldur not to far away from her, wondering why he wasn't where he was before. "Hey Beldur, nightmares too?" She asked him with a small smile that didn't turn into a real one; she didn't have the energy for that.
