Moonlight lights her way as she moves toward the starlit water that beckons to her.......

….and she stands at the edge of the starlit water that beckons to her with each wave created by the wake of the ship sailing in the distance beneath dark moonlight……and she wonders who stands upon the deck in shadow of the tall mast that pierces the sky. Her hands rest upon the sword she holds before her with its point thrust into the wet sand and she waits with anticipation……will it be one of the undead that she must take down or will it be the one her heart has hoped for as she has wandered these shores alone for so long…..waiting……hoping…….longing for someone to banish the heartache she feels within her soul………

All seems lost to her as her mind wanders....not heeding the creatures of the night lurking within the shadows....

…..and she, the Dark One, walks along the path with her head bowed and tears upon her face not caring if the undead shall rise…..for she will be ready and without fear…..but in her heart she hopes that he is gone, never to return so that she may raise her head and gaze at the stars with joy once again……her mind is drawn to the one who smiled at her from the edge of darkness……..he has disappeared as if into thin air….but he will return…..she feels it within her as she walks on with her eyes toward the stars knowing that they will lead her in the direction fate wishes her to take……for the lessons have been dark ones and she hopes for light as bright as the stars so far above to shine within her heart….

The Dark One walks with her hand upon the hilt of her sword.....

The dark fairy nymph walks among the shadows clad in black armor, her sword sheathed upon a braided leather belt with silver stars hanging from shining chains…….the blade shimmering with light…..as she waits for the undead to rise…….for if a rising becomes, she will be ready with wrath and fury to drive her sword straight into the heart of the demon for a final end to the plague that has existed in her land of peace……and she will overcome the evil and goodness will reign without any threat of discord or discontent……only hope and joy will be forever more……

The shadows hold evil as the dark fairy nymph makes her way among the shadows......

As she walks upon the mortar and bricks, he lurks in the shadows watching………waiting………for his prey……that dark fairy nymph whose heart and soul he could not take…..and she feels his hunger…..the hunger of a demon in disguise…..and reaches for her sword…..he lunges at her throat and she slashes her sword in the air…taking his head to the ground and he turns to dust before her eyes….. She holds her sword up and the moon strikes it with light and stars glow blue…… Another slowly steps out of the shadows….one not of demon blood but with heart and soul of the living…..and smiles……she sees the one she has been waiting for….and she is free to love without the threat of dark clouds casting shadows upon her any longer…...the evil has been cast away to the depths of hell and she is safe in her place of peace and beauty……

The dark fairy nymph seeks the one......

She wanders seeking the one who will take her with heart and soul….if even for one night….darkness wraps her with its cloud-veiled cloak as the moon shimmers beneath trying to break free……as she has done……now free to find…..to feel…….to know…..to have what she most desires…....but he must be one who can carry her off with strength of mind…….strength of soul……..he is there waiting in the shadows…..watching……..waiting for the right moment……….

The fortress falls by her own hands.....

Her fortress she rips down with her own hands piece by piece……stone by stone….until she is able to walk unencumbered by the past or the future…..but just the present is with her and she grasps onto each moment with a fury that exposes her to life in a way she has never experienced….with a depth of feeling that cannot be put into words……..can only be felt with passionate abandon…..

Her emotions overtake her will.......

Emotions collide within her mind….not knowing where her heart is…….she feels a need to do as she never has before….to destroy the wall that exists between her own self and that of life….to let all of her inhibitions become ghosts….and to experience all that she has not……she desires to abandon all that has kept her from what she is meant to be……and to do all that she feels in this moment………if only there were someone there this night……if only……
