Heed would never let somethin' like that happen!

We hasss nasssty nightmareses too, sssometimeses.

There are things beyond even you, my friend. A darkness that grows too powerful.

*She shuddered a little at the thought. Clearly this dream had disturbed more than her sleep.*

I fear it is more than a nightmare.

[With a sympathetic expression the little dragon perched on her shoulder, trying to be attentive as her friend.] What sort of darkness?

We hasss bad dreamses that could come true asss well.

I cannot say... it is a nameless evil that we have feared for centuries. Long ago, in another age, he grew strong and we faced him, and suffered... terrible loses. My father spoke of it often when I was a girl. He was there, you see, and of his father and brothers, he was the only one who returned home.

I fear it will return, and come here, and we will not have the strength to fight it.

Do your kind often have visions of what is to come?

Not visssionses, jussst guessseses. But not every guesss be wrong.

That's terrible. And now that evil is back. Yeh should have my help yeh know. Yeh need all the strength yeh can get if he's that dangerous.

Are they not the same? Visions and guesses?

I would not ask you to risk yourself for our sake. This is not your world.

But yeh my friend, Tauriel. If yeh got hurt cause I didn't help yeh how do yeh think I would feel? Or if yeh other friends got hurt?

And if you were injured fighting our battle I would not forgive myself.

Visssionses sssound more magical, to usss.

....true, but I'll still offer nevertheless.

I know that the offer stands, my friend, and I appreciate it. Should it come to that, I will take you up on it. Though I am not sure how to summon you should the need arise...

Good, and I'd try to come as soon as I could. We should come up with a good way to communicate that then?

It would be wise to do so, do you not think?

Maybe a fire arrow in the air? Or get one of them eagles to come find me.

The eagles are not ours to command. They come and go as they will.

*She thought a moment*

The arrow, however, may work.

That's good for them.

Ok, fire arrow it is! Though guess if I'm far away it'll be tougher. Maybe if I could find some kinda communication device, though I'll have to get that from back home...

Devices? I do not know what you mean.

*She lived in a world were communication was brought by messengers or something to that effect.*

Oh right. [That sort of talk was probably alien to her.] Like a machine? Or a tool? Yeh can talk to people or communicate with them if they're not there.

Ah. We do not have such things... Unless you count a palatir... but I do not think it was what you mean, and we do not have such things in the Woodland Realm.

Kinda figured that. Maybe if I find one back home I can show it to yeh, see wha Heed means better.

Perhaps. Though I am not sure I could even work such a thing.
