Forest








Morgan listened for a moment, and hearing no following noises, she returned to get work.
She mumbled the sacred words, tracing the seven scars on her wrist carefully. Everything had to be at balance. But her emotions weren't, causing the spell, (even though simple), to do nothing. She sighed. For some reason, she was on edge. And she knew why.
She want alone here.


Grumbling unhappily, Morgan strayed towards where the sound had come from. Fearlessly, she went along without a care that she wasn't being mindful of how much noise SHE was making.





This was ridiculous. The forest...ANY forest...was her home. She didn't care that she was being stubborn. She claimed the land, simply by walking on it.
Above her she heard a rustling in a tree. She examined the branches, but nothing was in sight. It was probably a bird, she figured.





Then it was silent.
"Show yourself!" came a voice from a great distance away. they couldn't have been talking to her.



But no. there was a magical aura to this girl. She too was immortal.



Morgan turned around fiercely, forgetting all about the curious creature in the trees.
"We'll just see about that," she replied angrily to the human-bear.

Cherre hated this girl now. She charged, then pulled off her pelt and grabbed her dagger.

Morgan closed her eyes, and chanted, tracing the marks on her wrist. She felt time slow down, and eventually freeze. The skinwalker in front of her was paused in mid-launch. Morgan opened her eyes and grinned.
She was ready to leave when the mysterious creature behind her stirred. Was she able to resist her magic? Or was her magic not strong enough to pull them both into the time freeze?

Cherre loved daggers and knew how to fight with them. As soon as the branch ground touched her feet, she put the tip of her dagger on the witch's neck. "Don't you dare shoot me again," she said, ready to push her dagger into the girl's throat when something made her stop.

Time started seeping out of control, and before she could give another thought, she ran out of there. She heard the rustling of confusion behind her but she ignored it. When she heard the thrashing of angry footsteps behind her, she chanted the oldest spell in the book.
"Crescat Plantas!" she whispered, tracing the symbols on her wrist.
Thick undergrowth raised to the sky, trapping her opponents behind, and allowing her to keep running.
At least she was able to avoid using her weapons this time.
Morgan walked into the trees, fascinated by the glory off the trees. Here, she decided, she'd practice her magic to perfection.
