Stressed (OPEN)

[Felicity Wood]

Felicity felt frustration within. She was trying to practice the fire spell Legend had taught her, but she'd noticed something about herself. She could only seem to produce the flame when he was in her presence. It was probably due to the fact that he was a calm natured guy who brought peace to her scrabbled mind.

"Inferno." she whispered, trying to succeed as she had before. Why was it so difficult now? Felicity repeated the spell, huffing with frustration as she repeated the task with no luck. "Inferno!"

Felicity dropped to her knees before removing her socks, sinking her feet into the cold, crisp water of the river. She muttered to herself, wondering if she would ever get the hang of magic without Legend around.

In all honesty, she had been trying to avoid him lately. She was developing deep feelings for him and could not seem to keep them in line. When she was near him, all doubt and restrictions seemed to fade and she seemed unable to control herself. She wanted to tell him, but knew that it was a bad idea.

The young servant let out a sigh and waded in the water, trying not to care. It was simply no use and it would only stress her out more. Maybe she should make some new friends. They would serve as distraction from her dilemma and it would bring her some peace that she was in desperate need of.

"Car tant vous aim, sans mentir For I love you so much, truly, Qu'on poroit avant tarir that one could could sooner dry up La haute mer the deep sea Et ses ondes retenir and hold back its waves Que me peusse alentir than I could constrain myself de vous amer.... from loving you, Sans fausser;"

Felicity sang, her voice was not brillant like the voice of an angel that her sister had possessed,but Felicity loved to sing this tune anyway.

"car mi penser, without falsehood; for my thoughts Mi souvenir, mi plaisir my memories, my pleasures Et mi desir sont sans finer and my desires are perpetually En vous que ne puis guerpir n'entroublier of you, whom I cannot leave or even briefly forget..."

[Legend Filikan]

Legend watched her, a smile on his face. He loved her. That was that. There was nothing that could stop him from loving her. He heard her saying the incantation of inferno and shook his head slightly. He whispered, "Ignis" and his voice floated through on the gentle wind. He was trying to remind her that the spell that brought fire to her hand wasn't inferno but ignis. He hoped he wouldn't frighten her.
Then he stepped out and said, "Hello Felicity."

[Felicity Wood]

Felicity heard a voice and felt instant fear creep over her. She let out a terrified scream, falling into the creek, soaking her long brunette hair. She let out a sigh of relief when she noticed who it was.

"Legend!" she smiled, feeling rather embarrassed now. "What a pleasant surprise! How are you?"

Felicity would have hugged him, but didn't want to soak him with water and she honestly didn't have the guts anyway. She still hadn't confessed her love for him and wasn't sure if it was a good idea.

[Legend Filikan]

Legend couldn't stop a laugh. After a moment of struggling to control it he spoke, "I am deeply sorry dear Felicity, but somehow that struck me as funny." He smiled his eyes grinning at her.
He wished he could just throw his arms around her and embrace her. He would, but he didn't have the courage at the moment. Instead he waved a hand and a small crackiling fire came alight on the ground. It was to help dry Felicity up when she got out of the river.
"Here," he said holding out his hand, "let me help you up."

[Felicity Wood]

Felicity smiled, taking his hand as she allowed him to help her up. She took a seat next to him near the fire and watched the flames with awe. She loved fire. it was beautiful. She adored watching the flames dance about before her eyes.

"Thank you." she said to Legend, "You...Didn't hear me...er...singing, Did you?"

Felicity felt her face turn scarlotte. She had not been blessed with a beautiful voice. When she tried to go higher pitched, her voice would often crack and she wasn't able to hit certain notes the way she would like to.

[Legend Filikan]

Legend smiled at her. "Actually I did, and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard." He beamed. "I mean it." He took her hand and whispered, "Ignis" A small flame appeared, and then grew slightly bigger. He removed his hand and the flame stayed. He smiled at her.
He wanted to do something but he didn't know how to. He wanted to tell her something but he didn't know how to. He wanted to ask her something but he didn't know how to. He wanted to kiss her but he was afraid she'd hate him. He wanted to tell her he loved her but he was afraid she'd would love him. he wanted to ask her if she loved him but he was afraid she didn't feel the same way. So he just sat there staring into her eyes that seemed the most beautiful thing in the whole world to him.

[Felicity Wood]

Something about the way Legend was looking at her made her feel that something was bothering him. He seemed to want to tell her something, but he wasn't saying it. Could he possibly share her feelings? That would be far too good to be true.

"You don't have to lie to me, Legend." Felicity laughed, flattered by his words. She honestly wasn't a good singer, but maybe with soem practice she would improve. "I know I'm not a good singer, but I'm fine with that."

Felicity stared at the fire and then looked back up at Legend. She wondered what it would be liek if they were more than friends. She had never gone past friendship with anyone. Was it scary? What if she got her heart broken like Lady Raven did? She did not want to have such an aweful experience.

"That was terrible at the pary, wasn't it?" Felicity sighed, she was subconciously sqeezing Legends hand in her own. "I cannot believe that Lancelot would do such a thing. To think that I respected the man! Poor Lady Raven....Legend, I somethimes think that you are the only decent man alive."

[Legend Filikan]

"I'm not lying to you, beautiful," Legend said with a shy smile. "I think you have a beautiful voice." He said and then sat beside her. He stared into the fire and then back at her. He didn't say anything for a moment then he said, "Yes, that was quite awful. Poor Raven. I always thought Lancelot was loyal..but I'm having second thoughts."
He loved her, he still new that. He wanted to tell her. But he didn't know how. He smiled at her and wanted to tell her all of it. But he didn't. He just smiled at her.

[Felicity Wood]

Felicity was surprised by Legends words. Why was he so kind to her? treating her as an equeal when she was simply a servant girl? She wasn't complaining....It made her feel incredible. Still, it was so unusual. She wasn't even sure how to respond.

"Legend, you are too kind." she smiled with a firey blush, in response to his compliment. Her eyes lit with anger when she thought of Lancelot. She felt a little ashamed to have such angry thoughts towards a knight of camelot, but she could not hold them back. Se did not like Sir Lancelot. "I agree. I wish I could make Lady Raven feel better."

[Legend Filikan]

"Yes, I know how you must feel," said Legend, his voice faraway. He yawned and leaned back, he stared at the sky. He said, "But what if there is something more to all this that we don't know about?" He propped himself up on his elbows and went on, curios, "I mean what if Raven did something to Lancelot a long time ago. I mean it could make sense..." Then he felt ashamed that he was standing up for Lancelot, "I mean, oh never mind, I was just thinking aloud."

[Felicity Wood]

"Even if she did, he should not have treated her that way." Felicity said, still angry with Sir Lancelot. Perhaps she was being over protective over her Mistress, but Lady Raven was her dearest friend and she hated seeing her in so much pain.

"He acted as though he loved her at the start of the party and then fawned over Lady Morgana the second she walked over." Felicity would never talk about a Knight in such a manner in front of anyone other than Legend.

Felicity knew that it was disrespectful and as a servant, she had no right to speak of such matters, but whens he was with Legend, she opened up, pouring out all of her thoughts.

"I'm sorry..." she cleared her throat. "I just can't help but to feel angry. Lady Raven is a very dear friend of mine. Not only a Mistress. I hope that you understand."

[Legend Filikan]

"No need to apologize, I understand perfectly," Legend said, sitting up and looking over at Felicity, his smile was shy but his eyes showed love, he hoped she saw it, but then again he wanted it go away.
He continued to smile as he lay down again with a yawn. Oh how he was tired. He yawned again and then closed his eyes, sleep washing over him.

(oh man I got a great idea!)

[Felicity Wood]

Felicity couldn't help but to smile as she watched Legends eyes close. She felt so silly. What person enjoyed watching someone else sleep? Still, she couldn't take her eyes off of him. She liked the way his hair fell over his face. The innocent expression he wore, even whilst sleeping....

Felicity heard the sound of leaves moving in the distance. She looked up, curious. She prayed that it wasn't another dark creature ready to attack them. She was grateful that Legend was teaching her magic. At least she could fight it off better if anything dared attacking them.

She didn't want to disturb Legend while he was sleeping. He did look so sweet... and it was probably nothing anyway. Felicity felt a bit of fear as the sound got closer. She hoped that it was merely a passerby.

[Lady Raven Silvester]

Raven was trotting by on her ebony shire horse. She she sighed. Then she heard some familiar voices. It was her two good friends. Felicity and Legend. She trotted to the sound of their voices. She soon came into veiw. Raven was wearing her Assassin's robes. She was no longer pregnant as she cast a spell to abort the child. Raven dismounted and removed her hood. Her weapons sparkled in the light that was coming in through the trees. Sometimes she had to use them, as magic wasn't effective. She smiled at them. "Safety and Peace, Legend and Felicity." she said. Safety and Peace was a greeting and a farewell that the Assassin's used to greet fellows and associates. Her horse snorted in greeting too. Raven looked differant not wearing a dress. She was wearing trousers as it was easier to manouver in them when shbe was in battle. She waited for her two friends to reply to her.

[Felicity Wood]

Felicity looked up and noticed that it was not an intruder coming near. It was Lady Raven. Felicity had been worrying about her. She knew that her friends heart had been broken and she knew that she must be hurting.

"Hello, Lady Raven."Felicity responded quietly, not wanting to wake Legend who was still sound asleep. "Fancy seeing you here....."

Felicity wasn't sure what to say. She wasn't sure if Lady Raven was ready or willing to discuss the birthday party and that was understanding.

Felicty's anger towards lancelot was returning and she wished that she was a noble male so that she couls just punch him square in the face.
