The boy had no idea she had seen him before; watched him, loved him. He simply believed she was any other mare, perhaps having a bad day, thus the acrid scent of anger that washed toward him with her movements and words. He was not one to judge. Everyone had bad days, and everyone was moody at times. The star-struck boy simply remained near her, listening, waiting for her name, which she gave. Nimue. The way it rolled off her tongue was exotic. He was more used to the “normal” names of others – plain, boring English names. But this… this was exotic. It spoke of palm trees, volcanoes, deserts. He smiled and dipped his head, a signal that he heard and understood. Birds fluttered overhead, near silently as they stood there, two worlds colliding in a single space. Perhaps there would be a supernova soon; an explosion so bright, that it would consume all of them. Perhaps that is what she was waiting for. ”Can you tell me anything about this place? Have you been here long?” He had just arrived, and had only explored this corner of the world. He knew it was vast, unimaginable and giant. It would likely take a lifetime to fully explore, and if he found the right partner, perhaps they could explore this place together forever. He liked that idea – having someone at his side forever, through the changing worlds and times. ”Tell me, Nimue, is this a peaceful place?” He wasn’t much for fighting and war. He had been a part of that world in another time, another place. He was one of the ancients, even though this place seemed to have stripped that magic from him. He still remembered. How could he forget the binding of the ancient evil; the thing that was bent on destroying all life? Necromancers and the dead. It had been a horrible place and a horrible time, yet they had survived – he and the others who were chosen for the task. Now, he wanted nothing more than to have a safe place to settle in, and possibly… one day… raise children. |
