"it's beautiful"
Nimueh gasped

"is this always like this? "

"Yes. But our village is dark cause we have lost our queen. We mourn for her and we need a queen immediately.  Or else our village will lose its purity"
The small girl cried. Her teary eyes visible in the shining stars

. "Lets cherish the night sky "
Nimueh grabbed her arm

But the girl soon shouted.

"I know who you are nessarose"

"nesserose. Who?  Me? "
Nimueh asked with worried eyes

"yes you are nesserose. You can rule our kingdom and become our queen.
You can capture other kingdoms too"
The girl smirked

Nimueh fired her words
"no girl.  I wouldn't do that. Who has poisoned your mind in such age against others?.  And I'm not nesserose"

'you are nesserose' The girl talked to her soul keeping her breath away

Nimueh lost her breath to the thought that how can someone talk to her deep inside.

She stood up to go back but soon the girl said
'see you soon nesserose'
Taking her breath yet again

*the next morning*

Nimueh entered the castle where princess grabbed her and took her to her chambers.

"Nimueh. I'm having strange dreams as if I possess some energy because the dreams I have comes true"

Morgana cried

"take me to some magical place so I know if I possess any power like that evil or not. I have to clear my doubts from my already burdened mind"

Nimueh spoke"this is highly dangerous lady"

"Nimueh please I beg you. You are the only one who understands me better. Take me there"
Princess fell to her knees

"okay lady.  I will accompany you but we will return soon"
With this Nimueh left

As she was heading to the court. Prince stopped her in her way.

"So here is my protector wandering around and who doesn't give a damn where I'm. What if someone kills me while I'm taking bath? "
He teased

"well. Your highness I certainly can't accompany you while you are taking bath"
She chuckled

"yes, yes. I was finding you cause I need help I need to give a lady some flowers"
He said

A sudden tinge of pain appeared in her chest.
'why am I behaving this way? '

'He's the Prince and I'm nothing'

'just a worthless scum'

The thoughts filled her head

"yes your highness. I would certainly tell you about the nicest of flowers though I'm not the person with royal taste"
Nimueh said forcing a  smile

"no. She's not royal but she's beautiful"
Prince said while handing her the flowers.

Then prince went away leaving an astounding Nimueh.

Morgana and Nimueh went off on their horses to the west where the fay resided.the same village where she was yesterday.

Morgana was entering.

"I will stay here and wait for you"
Nimueh knew that her powers were bright enough for Morgana to be seen and the fay knew her very well.

As Morgana headed to the people they showed their utmost hospitality and kindness to the young princess.

"be our queen"
They called out to her

It was getting dark as the lights dimmed. 

Morgana came to Nimueh as said she wants to reside here with them and that she' felt home'.that she was a witch.

"please princess this is not good.  King will get you hanged at this instant if he sees you here"
Nimueh was extremely perturbed

Morgana bid goodbyes to the people and went back to her Palace
"Nimueh. I hope you don't tell anyone about it or else you now know that I have some mysterious powers. So I wouldn't forgive you and I can do anything"
Morgana said coarsely

As Nimueh stared at the evil which has born in her from the visit but being a friend of her and also concealing her own truth in any way possible. She nodded knowing too that she can also end that evil but she's her friend

From then Morgana started visiting the fay everyday.

One day,  a bright gentlemen with brown hair and blue eyes walked in the castle.

Placed his sword at the King's and said
"I'm Lancelot. Here to become sir Lancelot "

Nimueh was mesmerised by his charm and his eyes.

He fought fiercely with the prince showing that he's brave and bold.

Lancelot entered the knighthood.

As sir Lancelot was passing Nimueh's chambers he spotted her coughing and soon ran in and gave her a glass of water.

"thank you sir Lancelot. I love to see your fight. You are such a great knight. Our kingdom is blessed to have you"
Nimueh showed her admiration

"I'm more than pleased to know that perhaps you like sometime to spend with me tomorrow?"
Sir Lancelot kissed her hand

"sire, I will think about it"
Nimueh flushed.
