Dannie's midnight purple hair flowed gently in the wind as the villagers pulled hard on her rope bonds. The rope sawed into her wrists and neck as they pulled hard. "Come on witch! Dont try anything funny either!" the man in front of her spat venomously. Her body hugging black half shirt showed off her perfectly toned belly and the blood running down it from long lashes created by a whip. Her tight black shorts showed off the cuts on her legs that were still bleeding.

Dannie stumbled and fell to her knees, unable to go any further. The town's men jerked hard on her ropes, tightening them further as they cut into her skin drawing blood on her wrists and low neck. "Get up witch!" the same man from before spat. But she couldnt move any longer, the blood loss too much for her. The towns people accused her of being a witch and were leading her to her death. They wanted to do it old fashioned. To hang her. Oh Dannie was a witch but laws prevetned her from using magic on people. Only potions could be used. These people didnt deserve the dark magic that would severly harm them if she chose to use it. They were only scared of her and she could do nothing to save herself from this fate. It was sealed.

When Dannie didnt get up, they dragged her the rest of the way up the hill and to the waiting people. Many people were gathered on the hill and their torches lit. They yelled accusiations at her and spit in her direction as she was drug by them. No longer did she try and defend herself. These people had once been her friends until they saw her using magic to make her herbs grow so they assumed that alot of the recent deaths had been her doing. Once they reached the platform, they roughly jerked her off the ground and carried her up the steps. Her feet and legs dragging on the steps leaving blood trails, then they threw a rope over a beam. Two men held her down where she was on her knees as one tied the noose. Once he had it done, they dragged her over to it and lowered it around her neck binding her hands behind her back on top of the other already bloody ropes. Tightening the noose till it was making it harder to breathe already, then started to lift the rope higher, making her stand with what little strength she had. People cheered as they started to lift her off the platform and Dannie squirmed at her last attempt to get free of the ropes. Now standing on her toes.

(Need a male character for this! Thanks guys )

A male wearing a hooded cloak watched quietly until it became nearly unbearable to watch her any longer. He held his hand in the air as a circle soon appeared around it,then a triangle within it. It was creating what looked like a demonic seal. He clenched his hand into a fist as the symbol appeared around the rope and it sliced through it. He jumped up and a seal appeared under him,abling him to stand in the air. He thought of this as racist. Being scared of one because of their so called 'special abilities' or 'black magic.' If it were not called that,then it would be called setreotyping.
He jumped once more and landed by her silently,not even a thud was heard when he landed. His face couldn't be seen but his dark blue eyes glowed heavenly through the piercing darkness. He stood In front of her like a dog protecting a wounded friend. There was something really odd about the guy,besides the point of him using magical like object and him having seals appear when wanted.
He looked back slightly,his blue eyes meeting her eyes. He gave a reinsuring look then he looked back at the wave a people.

Dannie was finding it harder and harder to breathe as they started pulling her completely off the platform. Thats when she saw the seal and relief flooded through her as she realized what was happening. Fallig to her knees as the rope was cut. Landing with a hard thud on the wood, coughing hard and taking in as much air as she could. Blood dripped onto the wood from the cuts all over her belly and legs. Looking up as she saw someone land next to her.

Seeing his reassuring look, she sat back on her legs with her head bowed as she realized he was helping her. Her hands were still bound behind her but she used a black fire to burn it off. Putting her hands on the platform, she slowly sank to her stomach unable to move anymore. The crowd gasped and backed away from the platform in shock at another on of their kind appearing. Then a man threw his torch underneath the platform to lit it on fire. Other people started following suit and yelling accusiations at them both. Dannie struggled up with what strength she had left, barely managing to get to her feet as she managed to step towards the man. Touching his shoulder, they both flashed off the platform and to the grass just at the bottom the hill where the crowd was gathered. Dannie collapsed onto the ground, panting now from the magic she used. "Thank you.." She whispered.

The male pulled her close and sighed. "Don't speak." His voice was quiet and rather deep. He pulled back the hood that was on his cloak and exposed his handsome features. He quietly looked at her with sorry eyes as he laid her in a comfortable posture as many seals appeared around them. They started to circle her and healed her greatly. "You should have gotten free,not just let yourself die."

Dannie winced as he moved her but she didnt complain. Her used to be green eyes now their true color, a yellow gold. She looked over his features then kept her eyes on his. "We arent allowed to use magic against humans and by the time we got halfway here i could hardly summon the strength to pull even weakly against the bonds. I barely had enough power to get us down here.." she explained quietly. Rope burns were permantly left on her wrists and low neck. One or two scars on her belly from the deep cuts even with magic to heal the injuries. Though not all were healed completely but they stopped bleeding.

He picked her up and sighed. "Such a sad thing,seeing such a glorious female hurt. Shame." He held her with one arm and held out the other,creating a portal like seal as he stepped through it and it opened out at a place with a waterfall,lake,and a couple of trees. The place seemed completely safe. He laid her down in the grass and he walked towards the lake. "You should get some rest." He took off his cloak,exposing his perfect torso and his white hair that ran down his back,longer then expected. He was only wearing black pants and black like boots. He approached the water closer.

Dannie blushed as he complimented her and slightly held on the best she could as he picked her up. As they stepped through the portal, she looked around feeling..safer here. As he set her down in the grass, she struggled up to sit up and watched him take off his cloak. Lettig her eyes roam down his perfect torso and look at his long white hair. He was rather handsome but she wasnt one to trust too easily. "Whats your name?" she asked quietly. Her purple bangs were side swept and her yellow gold eyes looked at the man watching him.

"My name is James." He slightly looked at her. "What's your's?" He crouched down and placed his hand in the icy water and pulled out a clear looking glass and water sword. It looked like the whole thing was made from nothing but water. He pulled the blade and it became more real. The sheath was black and the blade was red.

"Dannie," she replied as she pulled herself against a close tree. Leaning against it with a sigh, she put her head back on it and put her arm over heer stomach. "Thank you James," she said quietly, watching as he pulled a sword out of the water that looked like it was made purely from water until he touched it. A slight fascination came to her eyes as she saw him change the sword blade like that.

Dannie felt sleep tug at her but she refused to sleep, unsure of James even though he had saved her life. Watching him warily, she wondered about the sword and his intentions on saving her.

James nodded and touched the water with the sword then began to walk across it. He laid the sword down and laid next to it. "Nice name,Dannie. Now you should get some serious sleep. If you don't the wounds pain will still be there and they will slowly come back." He closed his eyes for meditation as the water surrounded him in an orb like container. He was one who came from the water but would die in fire one day. The thought makes him laugh.

Dannie watched him and debated for a minute wether to listen or not. Then she decided it couldnt hurt and let her eyes drift closed. Soon she was deep asleep as she leaned against the tree. Her sleep was filled with the memories of the recent almost death and ocassionally her magic would spark up creating a slight glow on her skin. Sleeping for several hours, she never so much as twitched as she slept making it hard to tell if she was even alive except for her breathing.

After a while of meditation,he became upset. He started thinking about his past,which made his power unbalance,and if there was not balance in his life...he might as well kill everything he sees. A water dragon started circling him,trying to keep him under control. He would mumble a little.

"I...failed...failed greatly...failed...I'm sorry."

Dannie felt an unbalanced magical presence near, she woke up startled. When she saw the water dragon, she slowly got up from her spot and stood there pressed against the tree. Frwoning as she felt the unbalance in James' power. Hesitating at first, she relaxed as best she could then walked to the edge of the water. Concentrating her powers, she made an icy path to James but not completely the whole way wanting to be a good distance from the dragon.

Stepping onto her path, she walked to the edge then sat down with her legs in the water washing off the dried blood covering her legs. Watching James, she wondered if he should be woken up or not.

James tried to calm down but it was no good. He opened his eyes and the water spear broke and the water dragon fell like a waterfall. He panted and was sitting up on water. His eyes were glowing red and his fangs were exposed. He looked at her and he slowly turned back to normal. He felt disgraced about being seen as a monster so he clicked his finger on his sword and the water became loose so he could fall through like so. He felt shame for not being able to control his powers.

Dannie jumped as the water dragon suddenly disspersed and fell into the water. Then her eyes grew wide as she saw his glowing red eyes and fangs. Slowly, she processed that he couldnt control his powers well and she smiled faintly. He had felt shamed felt he could control them that was why he fell through the surface of the water. She only knew this because she had felt it before. Dannie hadnt been the best at controlling her powers until just recently so she knew how he was feeling. Peering into the water, she tried to see if she could see him, kicking her legs slowly and relaxed in the water. "James?" she called, hoping he could hear her.

He poked his head out a sighed. "You never saw that...you...never...saw....that." He went back underwater in a hurry and sat next to a jagged rock,underwater.

Dannie frowned then took iin a deep breath, slipping into the water. Opening her eyes underwater, she swam down to infront of James. A light glow in the palm of her hand as she offered it to him. If she could, she wanted to thank him then head on her way back home. She was good at concealment spells so she could hide her small house from view. It was in the woods anyway so not many people traveled back there.

He looked at her and sighed. He could breathe underwater just fine as he swam a little deeper down and came back to her with a necklace. He put it around her neck and smiled then he sat back down next to the jagged rock.

Dannie gave him a confused look as he put a necklace around her neck. Sitting down in front of him but very close to him, she looked at him for a moment before coming up with an idea. A flame appeared on her fingertip and she began to write in the water in front of her.
Thank you James for saving me, but how do i get home? she wrote in a pretty cursive.

James smiled at the creativity and he blew a bubble that said, There should be a blue rock. Touch it and the seals will take you home. He didn't want her to go,but he wasn't gonna tie her down.
