My eyes opened and stared at the woman standing between my legs, I was silent, as was she we just looked at each other, I could see she was a true beauty, it was the first time I actually looked at her as a woman instead of a witch.<br/><br/>Softening my voice I say,<br/><br/>"Isolde, I have never loved anyone, how am I supposed to love you? Your blood is poison to me, I feel you have been given a task that is beyond you,"<br/><br/>I stood up and walked towards the copse that was at the side the track, in the center of the copse was a river running gently, birds filled the trees, singing happily, I thought to myself,<br/><br/>"Now this is magic"<br/><br/>I sat on the ground and felt myself relax, it had been many years since that had happened, I was battle weary, my body ached from head to toe, leaning back on my elbows I listened to the sounds around me, I never realized that Isolde had followed me.
