Thread: Nature's Fury

the woman sobbed as she was caught, the bruises on her arms a dark purple with red and green, showing just how hard the evil wizard had gripped her. she pressed herself into him and started to sob as he held her, clinging to him as he carefully picked her up and took her into the warm, warm house, only now she realized hos very cold she was and she started to tremble and shake, her teeth chattering as she cried, cried from the torment, cried from the pain in her feet and arms, and cried in relief at her rescue. she almost didn't let him go when he settled her onto the bed, making pathetic terrified noises deep in her throat as she watched him run a bath, still shivering and shaking as he came back, blinking at him. thank you, Wizard. she whispered softly as he carefully laid her in the tub, yelping at how hot it was compared to her ice cold skin, but she didn't fight, she just relaxed into the wonderful warmth that enveloped her, sighing softly as she relaxed into the water, closing her eyes as she passed out from the shock of everything, sleeping calmly and trusting this man to keep her safe. she woke before he even had a chance to remove her from the tub, blinking slowly as she looked up at him, swallowing thickly as she reached for him. please don't leave me alone... he will get me. she whispered, her voice terrified. he tried to take me... he tried to rape me... she was crying again. he took me away from my home and tried to take my powers. she was traumatized, that much was very clear. no doubt Cinna would think she was just a young woman who had been kidnapped and nearly raped. the rest of her babbling would make little sense to him as she pleaded to him to protect her from the evil wizard who had tried to steal her away, clinging to his pants as she cried into his knees, her pretty dress floating in the water, the heated mist swirling around her, somehow laying in the bath and sobbing, she looked like a goddess from another world. like she somehow did not belong on earth. she calmed slowly, resting against him as she looked up at him, blinking slowly. do you have a name? she asked slowly, wondering what she aught to call herself while in human form. she couldn't call herself Earth Mother, or Mother Nature, no one would beleive her anyway, she knew better than that... so what to call herself? i am Damia. it was a Greek name, and it meant, literally, Earth mother. it was the name of a Greek Goddess who brought forth fertile earth, among other things. it was a good name for her, and she liked the way it sounded on her tongue. do you have a name? she asked softly, blinking at him slowly, her head tilted at him. may i stay here with you? He will find me... He will try to take me back... she laid her head on his knees. ... he will try to steal me... and he will break me... she sniffled again. i am so frightened... i have never been here before... i have never been away from home... technically she was home, everywhere was her home, but she was also supposed to be everything. she was the energy that made everything flow, she was the life that made babies be conceived, that made flowers grow, that made the world turn and the sun shine. if she did not find a way home soon... all life on earth would start to die.
