Setsuka's Cruelty {Nerys}

[Setsuka Omatari]

Witheredflowers fell around her body. Life was stolen from where her hands rested. Her fingers lightly touched some blades of grass and the moment her hand made contact, the beautiful green quickly turned brown.

Time stood still while her rushing heart was still beating within her chest. She was breathless, motionless as she sat cross-legged within the middle of surrounding trees. The sun was set on her like a spot-light. No cloud was strewn across the deep blue sky. Her darkened hair was tied up high above her shoulders, allowing the sun's light to lightly bake her skin. It felt so good against her shoulders. Her weapons: Anima, Hero & Shima rested peacefully against her like dear friends. With her eyes peacefully closed, a smile graced her lips at their presence.

The emblem on her forehead glowed in an ominous light as she took her hands away from the ground and lifted them towards her chest. A deep breath was released from her lips and the hazel color of her eyes were slowly revealed. The depth of her eyes held such intensity as if the gaze was lit on fire.

Her long, slender arms stretched high above her head and she slowly began to rise to her feet like a deep wave within the ocean. Her stomach flatted as she took in a deep breath of air and slowly released it, letting her clothes fall to the grass below. Her hair was released from her ponytail, her locks flowing down her back.

She felt the wind's breath dance on every curve of her skin, letting the warmth be challenged to take over her body. It sent shivers all over her and her smile widen. Her long legs began to step forward towards the flowing river. As she inched closer to it, the water began to take over her body, making herself even colder than what the wind had offered her.

The ends of her hair was now touching the surface of the river, her naked body now clothed in the soothing water. Her head lifted up and she fell backwards, letting the river carry her to whichever it desired. Her eyes closed and she was content with the peaceful loneliness that she had enveloped herself in. She absolutely loved being around nature because with her curse, she practically owned it. Nature was a part of her. Any form of life belonged to her from the moment she touched it.

A small snicker escaped her and she relished at the thought.

"Delicious."

Nerys, rather inconveniently, had also had the idea of taking a nice wash in the river. She felt as though, after all her hard work at making mischief, she deserved it. All attempts, as expected, had ended in failure.

"Al, keep watch for me, alright? Don't let anyone sneak up on me..."

Unfortunately, the young witch hadn't bothered to look ahead of herself as she walked and the small bird fluttered away to hide in a nearby tree, facing in the opposite direction. Al glowed faintly, the beginnings of channeling Nerys' soul to prepare for magic of her own.

Lunarian familiars were strange in that they could perform magic separately from their partners.

Her feet reached the edge of the river when the blonde turned and spotted a figure that had apparently had the same idea that she had. Embarrassment and shock colored her pale cheeks as a nervous yell escaped her lips and she slipped on the river bank, landing in the water with a resounding splash.

The change in the water's flow caused her eyes to open and adjust her gaze to her surroundings. The presence of another caused the steady beats of her heart to become rapid. The soft glow that was hovering around her body ceased and she immediately turned on her side and floated in an upright position. Her eyes were locked harshly onto the person standing a few feet away from her. She stared at her like she was her worst enemy while staying in the middle of the river.

She stood there in silence, allowing the waves of the river hold her in place. The fact that she was completely naked didn't seem to bother her. There was but one thought on her mind and she demanded an answer. "What are you doing here?" Her words spoke sharp like a dagger as she began to walk towards the other woman who had fallen in the river. The girl seemed almost as drenched as she was. Setsuka stayed at stomach level within the water, her arms covered over her chest. It was a little awkward to be completely naked in the sight of another yet she was more frustrated than embarrassed. All she wanted was some alone time, away from prying eyes. It appeared that she wasn't getting what she wanted tonight.

Her hazel eyes filled with animosity looked away from the other woman and gazed at her surroundings. It was obvious now that this girl was alone, leaving Setsuka with the decision of killing her. Swimming to the side, she reached over to a hovering tree branch and grabbed a blanket. As she rose from the water, she began to wrap herself up and make her way over to her clothes. She was hidden from view, standing behind a few bushes, allowing herself to put her clothes and armor back on. She hated meeting new people and the situation couldn't be any worse for her.

Brushing out the tangled knots in her hair, she appeared in front of the other woman and stood but a few feet away.

"I asked you a question...."

Nerys jumped up, her clothes perfectly dry despite their soak in the river. Someone else was there. She heard Al's laughter resonate in her soul and glared in the direction of the small, white bird.

The other woman was lovely, with long, toned features. It was a terrifying beauty, the same beauty in a powerful, dangerous animal.

The sharp question threw Nerys from her thoughts.

"I...I was just...going to bathe..." Her shyness had kicked in as Al's snickering continued to shake her. Embarrassed color rushed to her cheeks. This stranger's sharpness shook the witch's confidence. "I'm sorry...I didn't realize there was someone else here.... I didn't see anything..."

Nerys struggled to pull herself out of the water, her rather impractical boots sliding on the bottom of the river. Her heel caught between the rocks and she once again tumbled under the water, this time with painful results.

She had felt it. She had felt her ankle twist. And as she pulled herself up, just far enough for her face to break the water's surface, she winced and gasped for breath. The pain shot through her body as she once again pulled herself up, this time managing to limp onto the river's bank.
