Yin singing

Song: Willow maid

By: Eurtan

A few years back...

Nightmare had just finished killing a Mage who attacked him. The male had messy brown hair and grey eyes which were now lifeless. He wiped the blood off his mouth as he stood up. "Good riddance." He muttered as he leaned against a tree. The mage had spotted him while he was preparing to set up a barrier and now that the barrier isn't complete he and his men could have easy access to the village. He froze when he heard voice. "It hurts." A child's voice said nearby. Nightmare frowned as he listened. "It's okay. While I clean up the wound I'll sing a song okay?" was a females response."O-Okay." The child said to the female. Nightmare followed the voices.

"A young man walked through the forest. With his quiver and hunting bow.

He heard a young girl singing and followed the sound below."

Nightmare pushed some brush out of his way with a frown before he saw two people in a clearing. One had long red hair that faded to white and the child had long red hair that faded to gold. He prepared to attack when he froze. He couldn't bring himself to do it...

"There he found the maiden who lives in the willow.

He called to her as she listened from a ring of toadstools red.

come with me my maiden come from thy willow bed.

She looked at him serenely and only shook her head."

He listened closely as the girl continued while cleaning the child's scraped knee.

" See me now. A ray of light in the moon dance.

See me now. I cannot leave this place.

Hear me now. A strain of song in the forest.

Don't ask me to follow where you lead."

He leaned against the tree he was hiding behind with a small smile. Her voice was beautiful and she was clearly kind and caring. He must have her to himself.

"A young man walked through the forest

With a flower and coat of green.

His love had hair like fire her eyes an emerald sheen.

She wrapped herself in beauty so young and so serene.

He stood there under the willow and he gave her the yellow bloom.

'Girl my heart you've captured oh I would be your groom.'

She said she'd wed him never Not near nor far nor soon."

Nightmare looked over at them again. The girl had just finished wrapping the child's knee and had her on her lap as she continued.

"See me now. A ray of light in the moon dance.

See me now. I cannot leave this place.

Hear me now a strain of song in the forest.

Don't ask me to follow where you lead."

Nightmare sat down and examined the girl closely. Her hair was in a french braid and she wore a white dress and a white cloak as a symbol of her status.

"A young man walked through the forest with an ax sharp as a knife.

'I'll take the green eye'd fairy and she shall be my wife.

With her I'll raise my children.

with her I'll live my life.'

The maiden wept when she heard him.

When he said he'd set her free.

He took his ax and used it

to bring down her ancient tree.

'Now your willows fallen. Now you belong to me.'

Nightmare scanned the healer with his socket wondering how to mark her as his.

"See me now. A ray of light in the moon dance.

See me now. I cannot leave this place.

Hear me now. A strain of song in the forest.

Don't ask me to follow where you lead."

He cocked his head to one side as he kept himself hidden from the two who clearly didn't know what danger they were in.

"She followed him out the forest.

And collapsed upon the earth.

Her feet had walked but a distance.

From the green land of her birth.

She faded into a flower that would bloom for one bright eve.

He could not take from the forest.

What was never meant to...

Leave..."

Nightmare smiled as he heard the song end. "Why did she fade into a flower?" The child asked the young woman. He heard her chuckle softly. "Because she is a wood nymph and they cannot survive long without the tree they live in." The child nodded. "I think he was being selfish." The woman chuckled again. "People do silly things while their in love. It happens sometimes." The girl stood up with the child in her arms. "I wanna be a healer like you Yin!" Nightmare looked thoughtful. So her name was Yin eh? Pretty name for a pretty girl. "Let's see what your magic is first Alina." They walked out of the woods and Nightmares line of sight.

3rd person pov Nightmare

Nightmare set her down on the bed and pulled the sheets over her. The others said they were successful in catching their mates, Hell some of them put up a good fight while some just tried to help evacuate. Nightmare sighed and skimmed her body over with his eyes. The spell he casted on her should last at least another hour before she wakes up disoriented and confused, Than it would turn into fear which he didn't mind.

As long as she was there with him. The young mages or apprentices were caught put into bedrooms since the young wolves weren't ready for mates yet but they'll need them when they get older. He looked around before his sockets landed on the dress he asked Error to make, It was a white floor length dress with a black trim, The shoulders were meant to be exposed while the dress was held up by a black ribbon. He admired the dress and pictured how his mate...no Yin would look in it.

He looked back to the sleeping female who shifted in her sleep and smiled as he sat down next to her and ran his hand through her long red locks. "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met..." He said with a smile. He tucked some hair behind her ear and felt satisfaction when he saw the mark he gave her years ago.

He had casted the spell that would keep her from waking up and smiled as he looked for somewhere to put the mark. Behind her neck? No if someone does her hair they'll see it...On her shoulder...She would see it. He decided on her temple where not even when she brushed her hair anyone would see it. Pretty clever... He gently pressed a finger to her temple and picture what he wanted for her mark, A silver crescent moon with a star appeared glowing slightly but faded until it looked like a birth mark...Now he officially claimed her...

He sighed as he stood up and looked at her again. "Don't worry. With the king of wolves mark everyone knows you belong to Me." He said before walking out...

1st person Yin

Have you ever been forced to walk through heavy drifts of snow? So heavy to where you can barely move? It's kinda like the situation I'm in now. Except the rival was sleep. I wanted to wake up but it was as if my body was to weak or something. I would hear someone talking every once in a while but it was all jumbled stuff. My eyes refused to open and I fell a flash of fear. What happened? Maybe it was a part of a dream? Or am I dead...

Needless to say I was confused. Why couldn't I move? I struggled to open my eyes. When I did I was met with a dark but beautiful room. Feeling dizzy I sat up and looked around. The room had dark wood walls, a dark wood floor...Everything was dark...except for the dress in the corner. The dress was white with a dark trim...needless to say it was beautiful. I shook my head, What happened that brought me here? The last thing I remember was...I froze...I was in a werewolf's room.
