The fire that had swelled and rose with his demanding tone, now only simmered now beneath the surface. She was not the only with problem’s her eyes settled on him again, taking in his dark skin and white hair. He was so different to any other creature she had come across and his manners seemed to quite the fire in her to mere crackling embers. She watched as his dark hand laid outstretched to her, this hand that had offered to protect her even at the cost of his own life.<span style="font-style: italic">”Men are such odd creatures, I think I will never understand them”</span>she thought to herself.<br/><br/>Shira gently clasped his hand but as she raised herself up with his support he continued to inquire to her experience. Again that fire crackled again, her mind had barely registered his compliment as she was focused more on the words after that. It seemed her guilt would let nothing go. “ I..I..” Shira swallowed hard as she forced the shameful truth. “No I do not, I am a water Nymph we live with the sea and with women.” she said the last part her eyes lingered over him. Shira’s sapphire eyes narrowed on the man “You have asked a question and I would like to ask you one. What is your name” Shira’s eyes softened.<br/><br/>Contrary to what the world had so brutally taught her not all men were demon’s in flesh. This one man seemed a decent good man. If be it a little rough around the edges but she was no longer a beautiful flower but a rose with thorn’s with only her words to harm. Shira hated that she had no control over her fate,but she would remedy that somehow. “I have caused you a burden and should remedy that, but I would also like to strike up a bargain. What do you say? Will you listen to my terms?” she asked her head tilted high as she tried to appear taller than she really was. Her hands had smoothed out parts of the cloak as it hung around her only allowing a sliver of the blue dress that hid underneath.
