PART 27
That night, after the hobbits had retired, Legolas passed their door. His sharp Elven ears heard the sound of whimpering. Cautiously, he opened the door and glanced in. It was clear that Merry was in the beginnings of a nightmare: his face was furrowed, and he was twitching uncomfortably.
Legolas walked over and sat by the bed, placing his hand over Merry’s brow, and began a soft singing. Soon, it was clear that Merry had relaxed--not only he, but the others as well, seemed to sink into a deeper, more peaceful slumber.
The Elf stayed there, singing, until the dawn began to break and the Sun was making her way over the horizon. Silently, he took his leave.
Perhaps the hobbits did not need to suffer in their dreams after all.
