For the first week in almost a month the witch living on the outskirts of town wasn't attacked by the villagers.  They wanted to drive her off the land, or kill her and free their town of a supposed curse they thought she had put on them.  Up until now she had been able to fend them off, but they were getting closer.  She found the reason that they hadn't attacked this week when she heard the drums of war off in the distance.  By the late afternoon the drums, war crys, and clatter of steel, had died down.  The magic in the air and finally lessened to the point where it was clear the battle was over.

A young man limped from tree to tree in the forest on the outskirts of the battlefield.  He held his gashed side and tried to forget the pain coming from the arrow stuck in his right chest.  His lightheaded mind could only think about quenching his massive thirst from the steam only a few trees away, but as he made the second tree the light faded from his eyes and his eyes rolled into the back of his head as he passed out.  He fell against the tree and then rolled to the ground onto his back.  He lay there unconscious and slowly dying as the sun went down.

A girl in her 19th year watchs the man fall and checking to make sure he is alone and has no one following her she runs over and kneels down. She pushes the hair out of his face and pulls out her waterskin and wets a small part of her petticoat. "wake up my brave  boy I need you to see me to help yourself"

There is something wrong in life when my most dominate side is my muse, and she doesn't listen to me. She skips around doing her own thing and ignoring me.

As she pushed his dark brown wavy hair from his sweaty face she was shocked to see such a handsome young man’s face.  He was only 22 with a strong jaw and an honest face.  His slightly tanned skin from marching in the sun to battle would be fairly pale otherwise.  The small broadsword at his hip dripped crimson beads of liquid that matched the color of the wet stain on his torn, leather, armor around the imbedded arrow.  His eyes were closed and his breathing was shallow.  There was a large gash from a sword strike just below his left rib cage that stained the grass under him a dark red.  His head rested on his empty quill attacked to his back.  His bow had been lost in the battle hours ago.  His brown and dark green leather army had seen better days, but they fit the broad shouldered and athletic warrior very well.

He didn’t wake when she called out to him.  It was obvious from his wounds that he was in bad shape and most likely wouldn’t survive the night.  Finally he gave a soft grown and opened his ghostly gray eyes half way.  He looked up to the pretty woman over him weakly and tried to speak, but all that came out was a soft whisper of incoherentness.  His right head moved slightly as if to reach up to her but didn’t make it far before it fell to the grass again weakly.  Again he tried to speak and was able to force out, “Water” in a whisper, before his eyes closed again.

The young girl gently lifted his head and pour a small amount of water into his mouth. "can you move with help?"

He opened his eyes again as he felt the water drip over his dry, chapped, lips.  He opened his mouth and watched her as he drank the water she provided him.  When the water was all gone he whispered, "Thank you."  When she asked him if he could move with help he whispered, "I'll try."  he tried to get up with her help.  It lead to great pain, but he wanted to fight for life.

Snapespersephone

"it is not that far I promise I just can't stay out in the open to help you." Wraps her arm around him and helps him to a hidden cottage laying him on a soft bed. "now close your eyes so you can claim you did not see any magic used on your person." she then rolls him gently to his side and begins to clean his wound with water and herbs before laying her hand over it and sucking any infection out and closes the wound before collapsing on the floor herself.

He staggers and limps with her guidance.  He wouldn’t be able to move at all if it wasn’t for her support.  He’s concentrating so hard on just walking that he doesn't even notice the cottage until they are at the door.  He falls on the bed with a grunt and takes a deep breath.  When she says to close his eyes he does so.  After her diligent work he starts to feel better.  He’s still very light headed and weak, but he’s been pulled back from the brink of death.  He hears her fall to the floor and he manages to open his eyes to see what has happened.  When he sees her on the floor he puts out his hand to her, touching her shoulder and saying, “Are you alright?

Snapespersephone

lays motionless as a faint aura of magic glows around her. while he stare as her a small black cat jumps from the loft of the cottage and climbs on her back before lying down and staring at him. "hello Mortal. Have you can to trick and kill my lady? She is a good enough witch that she used her last reserves of magic to save you. Now the dear must rest and be at risk."

He gently shakes her.  "Are you..." he stops when the black cat climbs on her.  He's unsure what to think.  He's already starting to feel so much better that he quickly realizes that she did something to him more then simple herbs could do.  His eyes go wide in shock as the cat begins to speak which prompts him to pull his hand back, afraid of the talking cat.  He does hear what the cat says and then looks back to the pretty woman on the floor.  He sits up weakly and slowly moves his legs over the side of the bed.  "What did she do?  Is she alright?  At risk?  What can I do to help?"  he watched the cat warily.  This was all so strange and abnormal that it would be easy to convince himself it was a dream, but the pain from his wounds had been too real for that.  "She helped me, i don't want her hurt."

Snapespersephone

"She was foolish, and knowing that she was already low on her natural magic and not able to get any new with a battle going on, She went out when she heard some one fall near her door. I told the fool to not go out there and to not bring a stray home, but look at her and her soft heart. She practically had to drag you in here. Then instead of going easy and just healing you enough so you could live and heal naturally. She put all of her magic into it. Now her home will be exposed until she is rested enough to build up her reserves again and that wont happen cause you will wander off and run your mortal mouth. Then when they offer you the head of Esmeralda you will take there money and lead them back. " the cat motions to a wanted poster on the wall with this girls picture and an amount of money he wouldn't see in four lifetimes "So as you can see she has damned herself."

The soldier’s eyes narrow as the strange black cat accuses him of doing things he hasn’t done yet.  ~So Esmeralda is her name~ he thinks to himself.  He looks to the poster and is amazed at the reward fee.  Looking back to the cat he says, “I’m not from around here and I’ve seen a lot, but I’ve never seen a talking cat, or a girl do whatever she did to me.  I’ve heard stories, but…is she…a…?” he stops and shakes his head.  “I’m a half step away from walking out this door and running as far away from here as I can, but if it wasn’t for her, I’d be dead by now.  I don’t want to hurt her, but tell me.  What did she do to have a reward on her head that high?”  As he says this he kneels down to her.  He is cautious with the cat, but it hasn’t attacked him yet.  “You hate me don’t you?” he says as he stares at the cat.

Snapespersephone

"Oh it is not just you. It is all males as they only see her as a pawn. as for her reward it was for saving me actually. So I shall sit her and wait for the soldiers so I can at least try and protect her. She deserves that at least after risking her life to go in to the king's own mage's house to set me free when she heard me calling out for help. SH exposed herself to save me and now she will die for it." The cat jumps off the young girl and hisses at the man before climbing back up to her perch. "please don't fail her kind heart as so many others have."

He steps back as the cat pounces, bringing up his hands, ready to fight the cat if it attacks.  “Why would she free such a sexist cat?  I think I might have left you there myself, but no matter.  I can see speaking with you is a waste of my time.”  His eyes narrow again, “What proof do you have that you aren’t some kind of evil spirit hurting this girl right now?  I don’t know what will help her abilities, or energy, but I know what will help a human woman, what do you know?”  His warm gray eyes stare at the cat, watching it’s every move and calculating what would be best in this strange situation.

Soon after the cat responds they both hear a rustling and voices outside.  He smiles and says, “That must be my men looking for me.  He walks to the door and opens it, but not two seconds later he ducks back in and takes cover on the side of the door frame as he closes the door.  “Shoot, shoot, shoot!”  There’s enemy soldiers out there looking for me!”  If the cat were to look outside, it would recognize some of the male villagers in armor with torches on fire walking up to the house.

Snapespersephone

"oh that is perfect M'lady is out cold and you are bringing trouble to her door. Well guess we are going out the back. Can you er grab her as we can't really leave her behind can we?" The cat jumps down and nudges  the wall beside the bed revealing a secret door then jumps through it. When he steps through he will see that it is a portal to a far different land.

He’s thinking about going out there and fighting, but he knows there are too many and she would still be in danger.  He watches the cat open the door and he takes a deep breath.  This is all so strange and crazy, but he can’t let the girl that saved his life burn to death in a fire.  He listens to the cat and rushes over to Esmeralda.  He picks her up as gently as he can into his arms.  He’s still weak from his brush with death, but strong enough to pick her up with effort.  He makes sure to hold the back of her thighs and top of her back to keep her stable.  Just as the first knock on the door comes he jumps through the door with her and the cat.

Snapespersephone

Esmeralda wakes with a start when they reach the other side. "Maxie what did I say about portal jumping me I am sleeping?"
The cat seems to roll her eyes, "Maxie if you portal jump me again with out my consent I will feed you to the kings dogs you ungrateful feline, but i did not portal jump you." Smiles a cat like smile, "the mortal did feed him."
Esmeralda turns and looks at you curiously, "you met my cat I am guess? She wasn't nice to you either and told you that I should have left your stray self out side to be killed instead of using the last of my usable magic to save you? and then when she figured you would not hurt me she threw the illusion of real danger so you would jump with me and get me to the magic spring? Did I miss anything?"

Once they are through the portal and looks around, curious as to what this new world is and how it looks.  When no immediate danger shows itself he kneels down and lays her on the ground.  He keeps her in his strong, warm, arms as he is about to ask the cat a question.  He looks back down as Esmeralda wakes and begins chastising her cat.  For his part he doesn’t know what to do.  He gives her a pleasant smile when she looked at him as he continues to hold her.  After listening to her prediction of what had happened he looks back up to the cat and says, “No…that’s about all that happened.  I don’t know about the illusion, but I’ve seen so many strange things since that arrow hit me, I really couldn’t judge such a thing.”

He looks back down to her with real concern on his face.  “Are you alright?  Your cat tells me your name is Esmeralda.  My name is Richard.  Thank you for saving me.  I’m forever in your debt.”

Snapespersephone

"Nice to meet you Richard and I can tell you that the arrow really did hit you. and I really did colapse trying to revive you, but  I can guarantee unless yo stepped off my steps and past my gate nobody would have even known you or my house were there. so whatever you saw or heard that made you jump here was not real. Welcome to the magical realm I guess where my magic resides and Maxie has been itching to get her dirty little neck claws eversince I mentioned it in passing." I point to the scared looking cat. "that is Maxie she is..well was the familiar of the court magician but he messed up and trapped her in a cat's body so I agreed to take her in and help her back on her feet. Oh and the wanted posters on my wall. are quite real if I am ever caught alive you get the full amount. If i am not alive you get nothing." Smiles "any questions?"

Richard gladly listens to her explanations.  He looks up to Maxie and smiles a knowing smile, “Hello Maxie, it’s nice to meet you.”  When he looks back down to Esmeralda he asks, “Do you think she’ll try to kill me in my sleep?” he smiles only slightly kidding with the question.  When she tells him that she has to be alive for the reward he smiles to her and says, “I’m not looking for money, although I should get back to my unit.  They probably think I’m dead or missing, but I do have a sense of loyalty, and they are the only family I have now.”  He looks around.  “First I want to help you get back on your feet.  Maxie tells me you wasted all your energy on me.”  Looking back to her from the cat he looks into her eyes to say, “Thank you, you shouldn’t have wasted yourself on a nobody like me though.  I have nothing to give you, only my help if you can use it?”

Snapespersephone

looks him over really well not evening thinking of just how improper running her hands over his whole body and checking him out so blatantly was. "Your unit is gone by now. you were all alone when i found you and the only foreigners close by were packing up camp when I brought you home with me. OS I could put you back in hostile land to die or you could just stay with me for awhile until you are back on your feet"

While holding her in his strong arms his biceps, shoulder muscles and chest bulge with a straight, but he doesn’t seem to mind at all and looks like he could do it forever.  His young, athletic body was hardened by war, yet warm and smooth to the touch which she could remember from healing him.

As she told him the truth about his unit and brought his mind back to the battle he had fell from his eyes grow very sad.  He closes them to shield her and himself from the pain of the memories and realization that he’s lost his second family.  She can feel him tremble slightly as he tries to block his emotions from welling up inside of him.

((OOC  It’s getting late here and I need to get up early for work tomorrow.  I have a soccer game after work so I will not be able to play much tomorrow, but I will try to get on for a bit.  I’ll be around a bunch on Tuesday night and Wednesday night.  I’m having fun RPing with you and I hope we can continue.))

Snapespersephone

"It will be ok I promise, I have no want to hurt someone as young as you."smiles reassuringly and sets a hand on his cheek "don;t worry your friends got away safely they were blessed as they left."

Richard wasn’t prepared for her soft hand to reach up and stroke his cheek.  When he felt her touch his eyes opened wide as he looked down to her in surprise.  He didn’t pull away, or show any discomfort for in fact, he very much enjoyed her soft feminine touch after battle.  Hearing her tell him that his friends were ok was reassuring somehow, even though his reasoning mind questioned her ability to know something like that.

He slowly gave her a sad smile, tilting his face slightly into her hand as he held her in his arms.  “I wish I could believe your sweet lies, but just how would you know that?”

((OOC  I’ll be on tonight, my soccer game got cancelled because there’s too much snow on the field, lol.  Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that it’s spring now!  Sorry for the bad typing in my last post, I was over tired and didn’t check it.))

"it is in my best intrest to know just what kinda people are camping so close to my home, so I did the responsible thing and looked you all over as you slept." Blushes and looks down, "your men would have been surprised I bet to see on such as me glide among them and use magic to hide there camp."

One of his eyebrows shot up curiously as she told him she looked him “all” over.  “All over?” he asked with his cheeks turning red.  Before she could respond he laughed and smiled to her.  “Don’t worry, I only mind if you didn’t like what you saw.  He stops and thinks for a moment before saying, “hum…maybe it wouldn’t have been a nice sight at that, I wasn’t in the best of shape.”  He smiles back down to her and again says, “Thank you for saving me.  I thought I was going to die, and when I opened my eyes to see your pretty face, I thought I’d died and was seeing an angel.”  He laughs at himself.  “Sorry, that must have sounded crazy, but I wish I could repay you for your kindness.”
