`I Was Born For This | OPEN

[lacey]

Loud chanting echoed throughout the forest. Nimueh's voice became louder and louder as she felt great power stir inside her. The feeling of magic within one'sself was like nothing else. She felt as though no other force in the world could overpower her. She was earth, fire, water and wind. She was the animals of the land, the rushing waters of the rivers and the strong stone of the caves. Nimueh was everything and anything. Her breathing came heavy as her voice grew louder than immagically possible.

Nimueh looked down upon her stone basin, which was filled with crimson blood. The liquid swirled in a whirlpool, the very centre of the basin untouched by red. At that center, an image of Merlin the young warlock played. It was difficult to see what he was doing, but as Nimueh's incantation continued, the image grew larger and larger. Entire concetration and focus was required for this sort of Seeing. A smile played upon the sorceress' lips as the image was one inch away from revealing what Merlin was doing at that exact moment.

Crack

Nimueh's concentration had been broken, and immediately Merlin disappeared, and the blood turned back into water. Nimueh hissed in frustration as her head whipped around. Tall trees surrounded her, many perfect hiding places included. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Nimueh sung maliciously.

Vaughn was doing what he normally did. Wandering the ends of the earth. He had no destination. No compass. He just walked the world, no ties to anything or anyone and that was the way it would always remain. Of course, all the traveling led him to meet very interesting people. Today, he would meet probably one of the most interesting of all. He was not certain where he was, nor did he care. It was a wooded area, concealed with trees, and he continued to weave through them on foot, leading his horse as it was far too difficult to maneuver the both of them through the narrow space.

That was when he heard a low voice. It was a woman's voice of course, but it was foreign words for Vaughn did not recognize them. He had to go closer. He lacked any attempt to approach the woman cautiously for he cared very little about the dangers of the world. It did not take long for her to hear him walked through. He tied his horse to a tree and decided to make his entrance alone. When he did, he was pleased by what he saw. A beautiful, captivating woman. Even Vaughn recognized beauty when he saw it; though the only beauties the world held were women. He smiled, not a friendly smile as it lacked any joviality. "Now what is a beautiful woman like you, doing alone in a place like this. Have you not heard of all the dangers that lurk around the woods." Little did he know the irony in his statement.

Nimueh had an urge to do two things. One, to hiss at the naive, ignorant man, blundering into her plot like a child. The second was to laugh manically at his stupidity. The latter was the action she chose. Her laughter echoed through the woods, causing many woodland animals to flee in terror. "Oh you pitiful thing." She sneered. "Why would the most powerful creature for miles around be afraid of the miniscule 'dangers' of this-" she paused, looking for a fitting adjective to describe this place. She looked at her surroundings curiously. "-this ancient, tired wood?" Nimueh shook her head in disbelief, and picked up a cloak that was lying on a nearby branch. She cast the cloak over her basin, not wanting the man to recognize ancient, dark magic.

Nimueh narrowed her eyes as she strutted toward the man, knowing her aura represented great power. It was not often that living things ventured near her- she radiated a force that subconsciously made one want to flee without hesitation. "What is your name, child?" Her deep voice commanded. She knew very well his name was Vaughn, however admitting the extent of her powers was not an act she favored to perform. "You could be of great use to me, brave warrior." Nimueh knew full well she didn't need magic to persuade a man. Her beauty was like no other, a magic of its own sort.

Vaughn was intrigued, to say the very least, with this woman. There was something about her. No. To say that was an understatement. There was something great about her. Something Vaughn had never quite encountered before. Her laughter, her words, calling him pitiful. If Vaughn was a bit more sensitive, perhaps he would care that she had just insulted him. But he did not. Instead, he gave a slight smirk, watching her very closely as she came closer to him, unable to take his eyes off of her. It was however a little unexpected that she had called him child. There could not be a significance age difference between the two of them. She looked far too young to exceed his age.

"Vaughn," he answered plainly, trying to determine what was so, different about this woman. She was beautiful, granted, and that made it easier for Vaughn to say in her company. "And what would the most powerful creature for miles around be called?" He asked, wondering what her name was. His smirk became more obvious, as he was completely unafraid of her. Vaughn hated asking multiple questions at once, but his interest had been raised and he could not help it. "I'm certain I could be of a great use to you," He agreed, though he meant it and said it in a more flirtatious way that she had probably meant it. Saying it in such a tone and manner, was his way of trying to find out more about what she meant in a way other than asking so many questions.
