"Nicola." Halie repeated, letting the woman's name form upon her lips and slip off reluctantly. Their eyes remained locked, Halie's blue orbs full of mischievous lust.<br/><br/>Halie presented the bowl to each woman, accepting their blades, each placing them in the bowl with some hesitancy but ultimately complying. While the two women were surely under the spell of the nymph, they nevertheless remained in control of their own actions.<br/><br/>Halie turned back towards the middle of the stream and promptly tipped the bowl, spilling the priestesses daggers into the running waters. One might expect the metal weapons to immediately sink to the bottom, but no. The two blades drifted off down the stream like two wandering leaves, taken away by the current, swept away by powers beyond their control.<br/><br/>Indeed it foreshadowed events yet to transpire, but unavoidable as the ever persistent flow of stream's current.<br/><br/>Halie turned back to the two priestesses and was about to entertain Nicola's query, when events moved ahead even quicker than she imagined they would.<br/><br/><em>"Mine!"</em>, shouted the dark priestess. It seemed the seeds of jealousy planted had taken to root.<br/><br/>She watched as the priestess of Hecate tackled Nicola in a fit of rage and jealousy. Halie watched on with amusement in her eyes as the two women struggled, with Nicola being shoved into the stream, the enraged priestess of Hecate close on her heels. Few things aroused Halie more than watching two lovers fight for her affections, and she had no intention of putting it to an end any time soon. Halie's gaze widened with pleasure when the dark priestess tore at Nicola's gown.<br/><br/>Yes! All the better thought Halie. It would be a pleasant vision indeed to see these two women tear the garments from each other. Events were proceeding just as Halie wished them to be.<br/><br/>For now Halie stood by, seemingly dispassionate over the outburst. The time would come soon enough to turn events in the appropriate direction. For now Halie enjoyed the spectacle of the two proud priestesses fight over her affections.
