So I sat there, and made my breathing slow and calm, and told myself what i had told others many a time: breathe, My Heart. The pain will pass. The night was very quiet; the darkness like a living thing creeping in around the two of us. I felt how tight strung his body was, I sensed his terror, and how he fought to conquer it. I could not hope to touch his mind, nor did I wish to see more of the dark images it held. I could still speak and words were the only tool i had for keeping out the dark.

"Dawn will come," I told im quietly."The nightcan be very dark;but I'll stay by you until the sun rises. These shdows cannot touch you while I am here. Soon we'll see the first hint of grey in the sky, the color of a pigeons coat, then the smallest touch of the sun's finger, and one bird will be bold enough to wake first and sing of tall trees and open skies and freedom. Then all will brighten and color will wash across the earth and it will be a new day. I will stay with you until then.
