Nymus
Hello. I am Nymus
   " Get back here! " Cried out a man's voice. Nymus ran behind a tree, giggleing as the man ran past her. " Stupid Human. " She mutterd, dusting off her blue dress. " There you are! " The man had turned around, facing Nymus was his big red face. Eyes widening, Nymus turned and started running down the trail, trying her best not to fall flat on her face. Nymus had stolen the mans knife, knowing that if he had it in her home forest, something bad would had happend. So she stole it, hoping that he wouldn't find out it was her. But instead he watched he steal if from his own home, and started to chase her. " Great. " Nymus sighed, knowing her Mistress would be angry if she ever found out. " Halt! " Cried out the man that came running after the young fairy, waving his arms all around, as if though he was being chased by some wild best Nymus could not see. Nope, she was the one chased.
   Giggleing, Nymus ran behind another tree, out of the man's sight that once again ran past her, and down the trail once more. " Humans. They never seem to give up. " That is true, infact. Nymus lives in Flare Forest, home to most fairys she knows. Her mother and father killed by the Human hunters, Nymus learned to stay as far way from any human as she could. When she was six, she was taken in by the Mistress, a grand old Fairy who has adopted many young Fairys that no longer have their parents, or lost them at a young age. Nymus was one of them. Her name, in Fairy, ment Hope to the Humans. It was a rare name seen in Fairys, sense only the high of royalty were aloud to have such beautiful names now. The man was gone, which made Nymus relax. Looking down in her hand was the large knife. * This killed my parents....* She wanted to cry, but held back as she began to walk down the other way of the trail. Toward The Keep.

    The Keep is where the Mistress and other young Fairys live in safety, and out of harms way. *That wouldn't last for long.* Nymus thought to herself, clutching the nife. Afew years ago, The Keep was found out by afew human travelers, and was attacked on sight. Humans here on this planet have hated Fairys so long, that Nymus no longer understands why. Most of the wild creatures were either killed, or taken away from Flare Forest. Sad really, if you think about it. The most smartest of the creatures other then the Fairys were the Dragons. Most were taken away to these places known as " Weyr's " and " Hold's ". Nymus didn't know what those places were or where, nor did she care. Her life was all about Dragons. She loved them very much, and was heart broken when Flare forest's last Golden Queen was taken away. She cried for many days and nights. And was only 13.

    " Nymus? " Said a voice. Nymus turned around, trying to look for the voice. " Is that you Armagedon? " She whisperd back. " Yes. I need abit of help. My horn is stuck in this tree. " Whisperd back Armagedon. Nymus almost wanted to laugh. After the Dragons were the Unicorns, also the second most rarest creature in Flare Forest. But Armagedon didn't seem to notice at all. " Alright, hold on.. " Nymus whisperd, looking from side to side befor pushing past a bush, and up to a tree. Yep, there he was, Armagedon and his long horn stuck in a tree. Nymus started to giggle. " It's not funny. A Wolf chased me down here. I wasn't looking where I was going, so I rammed into this tree. Mind helping me out? The wold left awhile ago. " Armagedon shifted. Nymus nodded, trying to chill down her giggles.

    Walking up beside the large Unicorn, Nymus grabed his horn. " Dont pull it off. " Armagedon said. " I wont. " Nymus repleyd as she began to pull on the horn. Didn't work. Grabing the horn again, she set her feet up against the Tree's trunk, and began to push and pull with all her might. Suddenly Armagedon's horn came out, and Nymus feel flat on her rump and back. " Thank's. " Said Armagedon, nuzzling the young fairy. Nymus smiled, standing up. " Your welcome. Just dont go and get stuck in any more tree's any more, ok? " Armagedon nodded, swinging his long light blue tail to the side. His body was a more of a purple color then anything else. But from far away, he could blend into just about anything. His man and tail were both light blue, his mane reaching down to his front legs knee's, and his tail reaching to the ground. But his eyes were always bright green. And his horn was a two feet long and clear.

    Nymus climed up onto Armagedon's back, patting the Unicorn's neck. " Mind taking me to The Keep? I must tell the Mistess that there is a hunter near by. " She whisperd, leaning forward. " Sure. I need to stretch out my legs again from standing still for so long. " Said the Unicorn, already starting off at a fast gallup down the trail, where Nymus was headed. Oh yes, Nymus is 15 incase you didn't know. She learned how to ride at the age of three, when her parents were still alive. She also stood at 5'11, not to tall, and not to short at all for a Fairy. But the Fairys in Flare Forest are as tall as Humans, not three inches tall that is. Armagendon stood at seven feet tall at the shoulder, and was only 2, young for a Unicorn. His mother died giving birth to him, so his father toke care of him. And did a good job at it too.

    Armagedon slowed down to a trot, making sure Nymus didn't fall off back there on his Gallup. She didn't. Nymus, like most young Fairys her age didn't get their wings till the age of eithrt 16 or 17. Rarely ever born with them, her mother never got her wings. Never. But her father got them when he was born, so that made her feel abit better at the thought of getting her own pair of lovely wings, like the other Fairys at The Keep. Almost at The Keep, Armagedon started to hum his favor song. One when he father use to sing to him when he was still a foal. His father was a great singer, and so taught him afew songs as well. Like father like son. His mother was Lady of the Lake. But it seems her time when up when Armagedon enterd the world. He will be taking his mothers place when he is 3 though.

    " There it is! " Nymus said, pointing forward. The Keep. Imagen this : A Large white Citadel with a huge forest all around it. Bushes with red flowers, tree's that had vines all around, and afew older Fairys flying above it. The Keep was indeed a beautiful sight. Nymus slide off of the Unicorns back, softly landing on the warm green grass. Armagedon spoke " I'll stay here and graze like a horse. I'm hungry anyways. And I dont really feel like getting yelled at for leaving dirt tracks in the halls. " He snickerd, lowering his head down to the ground, already starting to graze. Nymus nodded, remebering when the Mistress yelled at him for leaveing dirst tracks all around the halls of the Keep. It was a really funny sight when she chased him out into the garden, where he ate most of her roses.

    " Alright. I'll see you later. " Nymus said, walking down the main path, up to the Keep's main two doors. As she passed the gardens on her right and left side, she toke note of how well the flowers grew this year. Better then the last. Some of the Fairy's gardeners waved at her, and Nymus waved back. This was her home. Her wonderfull, beautiful home. And she didn't want anything to hurt her home, or her friends. But that may change is she does not tell the Mistress about the hunter in Flare Forest, near The Keep. Her home. Always and has been her home sense she could remember. She now stood at the two main doors, slowly starting to open them. She enterd The keep.
* * * * *
   " Do you have any idea how much trouble your in young lady? ! " Cried out the Mistress. She already had enough madness, why more? Nymus looked down, folding her hands behind her back, her eyes lowerd to the ground. " You should be ashamed of yourseld Nymus, to be walking out side of The Keep without anyone else knowing where you were, and letting a human see you! Thats the wors't part ever! " The Mistress, who taped her fings against the arm rest of her chair sight, still keeping her dark eyes on Nymus, who only looked down. Nymus, as always, got in trouble again. She was always the hardest fairy to keep in line when Armagedon was not around. But sense he couldn't aways be with her, it made her life hard and rough.

    " Sorry Mistress. I didn't mean to disobay your orders. It's just that - ". Nymus was cut off. " No, dont explain. I dont need to here your sorry story. You always make up excuses to get off the line. Well this time, it's not going to work missy. " The Mistress coldly stared at Nymus. But this time, Nymus was telling the truth! Wondering if she should show her the knife the human had, Nymus kept her mouth shut so she wouldn't get into more trouble then befor. " And keep that Unicorn out of the gardens. He always ears the flowers, and messes up the planets. " Nymus nodded, wanting to just walk away, go to her room, and cry her heart out.

   
Mind if I butt in?

   
Who said that? Nymus was not sure. " Who's there? " Called out the Mistress, looking from side to side.

   
I'd come in, but I'm too big. But my rider may come in if you let her.

   
" Very well, let her come in and speak, I'm trying to deal with a matter. " The Mistress nodded off, as if though Nymus  was no longer there. Then, a person came in. A human? Looked like it was. Nymus's blood ran cold as she stared at the human women walk right up to her, nodding and smiling, and then bowing. She was taller then Nymus, by atleast five or siz inches, and she didn't look bad at all. But infact, kind and sweet. The Mistress narrowed her eyes at the human women. " A human? Why are you here? " Asked the Mistress, as Nymus watched and listen.

    I wouldn't be so rude to her if you know what's best for your own health.

    Again that voice! It sounded female, which was all Nymus could find out for the time being. The rider smiled at Nymus, knowing that she could hear the other's voice in her mind, but then turned back to the Mistress. " I am a SearchRider, from Moon Shadow Weyr. I am here, looking for a candidate that may impress at the hatching. Zielieth and I have been watching Nymus for a long time now, and we both agree that she would be a wonderfull candidate, and would impress a great dragon indeed. But it is not your choice, may I add in, but her's. " The searchrider turned toward Nymus, waiting for her answer.

    " Um..." Nymus studderd, not sure what to say.

   
Dont worry. Not all Humans are as bad as you think. Infact, only afew are. And there maybe more Fairys at Moon Shadow Weyr to keep you company incase you get lonely while waiting for the hatching.

    " Hold on a second there missy. I will say if she can go or not. And if Humans are there, then she may not. Humans, dirty animals indeed. " The Mistress said, leaning forward in her chair. The SearchRider gave her a look that made her cold, and so she cooled down. Turning backa round toward Nymus, she nodded, again waiting for her answer.

    " Sure. I'd love that! " Nymus said, feeling rather proud of herself for what she did. " Very well. You may ride with Zielieth and I back to the Weyr if you like. And I shall report this to the WeyrWomen of Moon Shadow Weyr. Nymus, you are now a new Candidate at Moon Shadow Weyr. " Nymus smiled, so did the rider as she lead the young fairy out into the court yard, where Zielieth waited. A huge and beautiful dragon she was. It was rare to see Dragons now, so Nymus was glad she finally got to see one alive, instead of dead.

   
I can't wait to see what dragon you'll impress!

    Nymus laughed. " Nor can I ! "
