Guest: Thank you so much! Your review made my WEEK! You are my first (and only, so far:) reviewer! You really inspired me to get this done :) Thanks
This is just so you can get to know Nature a bit more. The action is coming soon. I promise!
Now, without further ado: Chapter Two; Experiances
Lady Nature was still staring out at the earth, her eyes swirling with emotions of the past ages, when MiM bid her farewell.
"Moon duties to take care of" he explained, smiling.
"I understand. Fare you well, Man in Moon. I will no doubt, have chosen before you finish."
"In that case, I do hope you choose well, Lady." He bowed, and turning, walked away.
Lady Nature turned back to the earth, contemplating. "I have a few in mind" she whispered, too low for MiM to hear.
There were several young women that she knew would make a good choice to host her abilities.
Ireland. A young farmers daughter helping her little brother with the toy plow his father had made for him tied to their dog.
no.
Nature glared at the word formed in her head. No, what? Where had thought come from? She shook the thoughts away.
It was nothing.
Just a thought that had been conjured up due to a mishap hundreds of years ago. When she had tried something never done before. Tying her entity-not just her powers-but her entity, Nature itself, bound to a human girl. Their consciences and minds completely intertwined. Two minds becoming one.
A beautiful young girl, long ago.
Stop.
She didn't need this kind of distraction now. She needed focus. But the memories barged on despite her efforts to push them back.
She was a beautiful girl. Not the most stunning in her city, but beautiful none the less. She lived in a city in Greece; Athens, it was. The city everyone admired for its beauty and cultural arts. She loved the city, everything about it. The houses, the people, she could go on for a while. She planned to make a living here growing and selling plants. That was one thing that the city lacked. Plants. She had many plans; but then, so did her mother. Her mother wanted her to marry a rich man and have kids. Now don't get the wrong idea here, of course she wanted to marry and have kids. Eventually. Just not right now. And when she did, she wanted her husband to support her dreams and plans, not force her to forget them and serve him like a mindless beast. She was what people would call a wild woman. Just because she wanted the freedom to choose her own path.
But, apparently, she would not get it. Nature itself was literally making her follow Nature's path, and not her own. She was chosen to host Lady Natures powers.
Lady Nature chose the girl because of her want to be independent. Her want for men and woman to be equal. Because that was what nature was all about. Order and balance. Then Nature took it a little farther. She had been betrayed over and over again by the ones she chose as hosts and she didn't want things like the Ice Age to recur again. No, this was a last ditch effort. If this didn't work, she'd give up entirely and never use humans as hosts again. This time, she'd tie not only her powers, but also her soul, her mind, her entity to her host. A last ditch effort. It would make the host immortal as well. They would become the body of Lady Nature.
It was the WORST experience Nature had ever come upon. She had not counted on the mortals negativity to the idea, but b then it had been too late. The girl had become Lady Nature, And Lady Nature had become the girl. It was too late for either of them to go back. Nature had thought that her memories, her experiences, her everything would be imprinted in the girls mind and spirit. She was right. Everything from her past, now became the girls past as well. She had counted on that happening. But she had not counted on the same thing happening to her. The girls mind was like a river flowing into her ocean. Everything that the girl thought, experienced, believed, everything, it became part of Nature as well. The girls morals hit especially hard. She never thought about it when she picked a host, but now she did. What if they didn't want to be hosts? This girl certainty did not. She believed Nature was doing a horrible thing by taking her free choice away and forcing her to be someone she did not want to be.
The the beliefs and morals of the girl had haunted her every day of her eternity. Her mind was still trying to sort out which thoughts were her own and which were based off of the girls conscience. She had immediately tried to break free of the girl, but to no avail. She could not escape. Then MiM had come to her aid and separated her from the girl. He brought Nature to his realm to rest and heal after what had happened.
But the girl was a lost hope. She had gone insane because of he incident and jumping off the balcony she'd been on and into the river, drowned herself.
Nature shuddered at the memory, a small tear trekked it's way down her cheek before she wiped her hand across it. She had changed during the accident, but whether it was a good change or not, she didn't know yet. Her morals had changed. Not a lot, but enough. She couldn't just tear someone away from their family to be her host anymore. But she had to choose someone. If she had to choose, then it will have to be someone who will benefit from the change. It may not be easy for them, but there had to be someone.
Ahhh. Nature exalted herself. There's one.
Don't skip!
Okay, I just want to make it clear, I am NOT trying to ship Nature with other girls. Like I said in my summary, There is NO slash, WHATSOEVER in this fanfic. If you think you see some, you're imagining it! She chooses girls because she is a girl. They think alike and don't have to adjust their thinking. I mean, how much weirder would it be if she chose a guy? A womans' thoughts in a guys mind?! Just wanted to clear that up.
Oh, and Natures need to be with humans: So Nature would rather just be a spirit and take care of her duties, and she can, but she is so much more powerful when she's amongst the very core of nature. Humans. Yeah, we're a part of nature too. The biggest part. It's a bit complicated, and I don't know quite how to explain. So if you get it, good for you! If not, sorry :J
Oh, I'll try to update once a week. I'm sort of a slow writer, but I'll try! For my first reviewer! :)
