    Summary

    “I remember every story you ever read to me. Every sword and riding lesson. Every scraped knee you cleaned on your own.” Daeron’s voice cracked. “Every time you stood between me and Ormund when he was blinded by his rage. As long as you were near, I knew he couldn’t touch me.”

    “I was only doing what anyone would’ve–” Gwayne stopped himself, realizing.

    “No one else did. Just you.” Daeron’s smile trembled. “I want you to remember that I was never afraid when I was with you. Tomorrow will be no different.”

    //

    On the eve of battle, Daeron asks Gwayne what will become of them.

    Summary

    (…) Criston rose from his bedroll, alarmed by the single, bloodcurdling scream that had startled him from his already light slumber. He didn’t bother with putting on his armor, merely grabbing his boots and sword as he fumbled to open the tent flap. He expected the worst as he pulled the damp canvas open. (…)

    Gwayne has a nightmare. Criston finds him and a late night conversation ensues. The two realize a thing or two about each other.

    Summary

    "We were so worried, we heard you—" Ragatha starts, and then looks up. She meets Jax's gaze dead-on, and goes silent. Tears brim in the corner of her eye. Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. He can't tell if the look on her face is relief or fear.

    Gangle's staring at him like she's seen a ghost. Pomni slowly raises to her feet, brows furrowed. She winces as every movement jars her wavering form.

    Cowered on the floor, panting, confused and disoriented, with everyone standing above him, taller than him… it reminds Jax of something deeply unpleasant. They're all staring at him. They're all seeing him.

    Jax knows they're not going to like what they see.

    His breath quickens until his head is spinning, and he feels like he's going to vomit. He forces himself upwards with a frustrated cry, swaying in place, and then turns and bolts towards his room as fast as he can.

    "NO!" Pomni screams.

    (or: pomni pulls jax back from the brink.)
