How dose the water fall in love?
 

"How dose the water fall in love?" A young girl asked as she sat in her mothers lap. Her mother looked down at the young child. "Let me tell you the story my dear child." she said softly as she gently kissed the child's small forehead.
She then laid the small child into the soft feathered bed. "For as long as time our people feared the water spirit, for she lead the men of our nations to there death so many times." she said softly as she moved the hair out of the boys eyes. "Many time she had done this. She made them fall in love with over and over again, with just her looks. They say that you still can see her if you look hard enough. For her beauty still remain in the lake." the mother said softly. "I shouldn't be telling you this story love your father would be mad." she said as she lifted herself off of the bed, she once again kissed the boys forehead. "I'll tell you this story when you are much older." she said softly as she blew out the candle. "Good night my little love." she said with a smile. "Goodnight my wonderest mother." he said softly as a big yawn arose in him. They boy slowly drifted off to sleep, as he did a beautiful woman in blue came to him. "I'm real can you see." she said softly as she touched his small soft cheek. "I am Ylva the spirit witch your mother has spoke of." she said softly with a smile. She then turned her back to him and held her hand out to him. "Come with me," she softly whispered.

((just to say you put girl at the begining of that))

Elros smiled as he snuggled into bed more and wondered what the story would be like and tried to think of how the water would fall in love. But then sleep started to take him and yet a touch made him sturred. Seeing Ylva he had to admit that she was beautiful, more beautiful then anyone he had ever seen. Though when she held out her hand to him he just looked at it and then shook his head. "I cant, mother and father would miss me if I went." he said as he looked at her and you could tell he would like to go. He then smiled at her, "come back later, when I am older and maybe I can come." he said and sounded like a kid but his words were true. He would go with her if she came back later. Yet it was odd, he wasn't completely swayed by her beauty, his mind was still aware of what he had to do on this earth. He was still aware that he had to live and not just go running off with her. Maybe it was because of what his mother had just said or maybe there was something else about him.

((lol well you know.))
Ylva smiled. "I will be back young one." he voice floated to him as she disappeared into the shadows of his dreams. "I will be back when you are much older." she said her voice sounded like a wisp of air flowing threw the stream. Something about this boy was different she could tell. He wasn't after her beauty. She ran along the willows bend. She looked for her next victim. All that was on her mind now was the young boy who denied her hand. It ran threw her mind, as it did the waters in the area quickend. "I will find you. dear child and you will one day be mine." she said letting it float threw the young boys head. She then let him be as she went on.

Her waters began to crash into a small village close to the boys village. Ylva called out to an old man who was on his death bed. "Come to me, and you shall see my true beauty." she said to the old man. He gave all strength to see her face. Remember the story of the girl in the water. He followed her voice till the waters edge. It was there that Ylva's water took over his body, and he became one with the water. The water calmed by the small village and Ylva went back to her water fall.

Elros just looked at Ylva and wondered if she really was going to come back. Though as she left he couldn't help but smile and close to eyes. Slept came to him after hearing that final words, telling him he would be hers. Yet it didn't desturb him or his slept. Infact it seemed he couldn't help but smile and feel as if it was a honor that a lady like herself would watch him. Though when morning came and word came that a old friend of the family was dead, killed by Ylvas hand he knew he had to watch himself. They lived close to the water and that ment death by Ylva came to many and no death was pleasureable.

((years later))

A laugh rang out as a young man pulled fish up with a net. His dark back hair shown in the sun as he worked with his father and smiled. "I think this is the biggest load if fish we have gotten out of these waters." he said as they got the rest ofthe fish into there small little boat. Laughing his father sat down, breathing heavily. "yes but remember to be alert, never knkw when Ylva may come. But in the mean time row us back to shore. Your mother wants us and the fish home before dark." he said and Elrosnidded as he got the ores and started to stroke. "If Ylva comes, she comes." he said as he worked the ores. He never told his parents about Ylva comeing ti him when he was little but then again he had almost forgotten that himself. All he knew was that he dreamt of a beautiful lady. After a little while they got back to shire where there cart layed. Jumping out Elros worked to out the fish in the cart and worked with his dad.

Ylva took many live as the young boy grew into a man. She watched over him as well waiting for the time when she could make him hers. She lurked below the waters of there boat every day they fished. She even sent the fish to them sometime. She smiled as she watched the boy grow into a man. This was the night she would reveal her true self to the now grown man. She took form as a human. Her long blue hair flowing down her back her blue eyes catching every ray of the moons light. her gowned made from the very waters she came from. She took to the soft earth as her feet sunk softly into the dirt. Ylva followed the boats tracks to the small house. She then saw the boy who now was a man. He was quite different from when she last saw him, or maybe that because she only saw him when he sleep. "Boy." her voice echoed out across the land. Though it only made the sound of air flowing in the water. She was close enough to see him working on the fish and she only hoped that he had forgotten when she had looked like. Ylva hoped to be invaded into the young man's home where she could see who his parents where, and what they were really like.

Elros smiled as he worked and his father sat down to take a break. "you know I think it is about time you take over for me as the fisher for thr village." he said as he looked at him. "your younger and stronger then me." he said as he smiled at his boy. Elors just laughed and shook his head, "the day that I take over for you completely is the day that Ylva takes you." he said as he saw his dad smile. "I am to wise for her, for your mother is the only one for me. Now tell me, I hear rumors thst you and Tammy are getting close-" "we are friends, nothing more. I am still young." he said and his father just laughed, "you may be young but always look for a girl." he said and waited to hear elros as he finished with the fish. Though elros heard something, something like the word boy. Looking around he then spotted a beautiful young lady coming there way. "miss, can I help you?" he asked when she got closer and smiled. His smile spoke of warmth and welcome, nothing behind it showed any secrets. The smile showed that what you saw was what you got. A kind hearted, fishing man.

Ylva smiled as he spoke to her. She looked to him, then his father then back to Elros. "I'm lost." she said softly to the young man. Her hair flowed about her like the water she came from. "I need a place to stay." she said softly as she walked closer to the two of them. As she got closer her hair changed from blue to a light blond color, her cloths because more real. Her feet no longer sunk into the ground. Her eyes were still a sparkling blue that caught all the light from the moon. She looked to the water from a moment then back to the men.
Elros mother came out for a moment "Its time for the fish." she said as she saw the girl standing in font of the two men. "Oh My dear are you lost?" she asked as she walked up to the girl. "Let me help you." she said as she ran back into the house and got a blanket. "Your soaking wet my dear." she said as she put the blanket around the girl. Ylva didn't know what a blanket was at first she was a bit afraid of it, but when it flowed about her like the warmth of summers water, she snuggled into it. "come with me dear." Elros mother said softly as she took the girl by the hand and lead her to the house.

Elros frowned and knew that the girl really was lost. There house was a little ways away from the town and by the looks of things she was wet. His fsther watched the girl and then smiked as his wife came out. R was licky to have her in his life, she was one of the kindest women on the world and he had managed to make her his. After finishing up with the fish elros and his father walked over to the ladies and smiled. "so, miss, what is your name and what are you doing all the way here? We dint get many travelers coming threw our home or lake." he said as he looked at thr girk and was glad thst his wife had wrapped a bla ket around her. Elros then walked over and hekd out a hand, "it is nice ti met you, who ever you wre, but i am elros." he said as he smiled.

Ylva knew that she wouldn't be able to revel her name to any of these people. "I don't remember where I came from." she said softly. She then looked to Elros. "I don't remember my own name." she said as she looked down at her hand. She had only tricked one other man to be hers, and that was when she was a much younger spirit. She smiled and looked to him. "Maybe You could help me remember." she said softly looking up at him. Her eyes glittering in the light.
Elros mother brought out the food. "Lets wait till after dinner." she said with a big smile. She set the table and put all the food on it. "Its time when ever you guys are ready." she said with a smile. "welcome to our home." she said as she sat at the table.

Elros frowned when he heard her and just stared at her for a second. He then smiled at her and was about to say something when his mother talked about dinner. He then nodded and watched his mother set up for dinner before turning to the women with no name. "sure, I will help you remember. But first why dont you come eat, I am sure that your starving from walking for how ever long you were." he said as he gently took her hand and guided her over to the table. Pulling out a chair he made sure she sat down before he sat down next to her. His father lumbered over and sat down with a sigh, "after this I will need my salve, my joints are killing me." he said as he looked at his wife and smiled.

Ylva looked to the small group of people. His family seemed to be a good group of people, she gently placed her hands in her lap and watched them interact. She was lost in though as she looked to Elros. "your family is quite lovely." she said as a soft smile came to her lip. This was the boy that got away so many years ago, he grew up to be a great man. She then looked to his family and smiled to them. "Thank you for letting me in your home." she said softly as she bowed a bit.

Elros smiled when he heard her. "we are one of the friendliest familys in this while town." he said and his father nodded as he started to eat some of his food. "my boys got thst right. We are and we are hapoy ti have you." he said as he smiked at her. Elros then was about to take a bite of his food when he looked at her. "you shoukd eat simethig, i dont knkw when you last ate but we dint want you to get sick or anything." he said and you coukd see the general concern in his eyes and hear it. He then took one bite of his food before watching her. But then you heard a thwack and a spoon his him in the head, "it isnt polite to stare at a guest." his mother said and elros smiled, "just making sure she is okay." he said.

Ylva Jumped a little when she heard the smack. "Oh." she said with a slight smile. Everything had always been so quite for her. She smiled and took a bite of her food. The fish was cooked. This was the first time she'ed eaten cooked fish. "Its very good." she said as she too another bite. She looked to Elros. "I'm happy that you guys are happy." she said softly. She continued to eat, and before she knew it the food was all gone.

Elros's mother smiled when she heard her, "I am glad that you like it." she said as she looked at her and then finished eating her. "and we are just happy to have you here with us." she said as she relaxed in her chair. The man then smiled and you could see him take her hand into his before looking at her. "now then tell us what you remember and maybe we can figure out where you come from or even your name" Elros said as he looked at her and smiled. She was beautiful but he never really thought that mattered.

Ylva gently drew her hand back from the mans hand. "I remember the water rushing over me. Over and over again." she made her eyes go big as if remembering a traumatic event. "It too me over, ate me up..." she said as she looked at the old man. "I've never been so afraid in my life." she said as she cried thinking about 'it' "My family... They were with me..." she said as she got up from the chair, "I need to go find them. "she said softly.

Elros's mother frowned when he heard her and quickly walked over. Gently laying a hand on her arm she smiled and guided her into the living room. She made her sit down and looked at her, "everything is fine and I am sure your fmaily is too. But you cant do anything in your state of mind." she said as she smiled at her and then gently sat down next to her. "for now let the men go find your family." she said and looked at Elros and his father. THey both nodded, "yeah, we can find your parents in no time." Elros said as he looked at her and smiled.

Ylva smiled at the two. "Oh thank you." she said as she ran to Elros and put her arms around him. Tears flowing down her cheeks. "Can I go with you though?" she asked looking up at him. "I don't really remember what they look like, I just know that I have a family out there somewhere...." she said softly.

((I'm going to make it where she slowly dose forget that she's a water spirit.))

((okay))

Elros was surprised when she ran over to him and wrapped her arms around him. Looking at her and seeing the tears he knew that he had to let her come with him. He could never say no or ignore someone when they were crying or looking helpless. Smling he wrapped a arm around her to comfort her and nodded, "of course you can come." he said as he looked at her. "and we will find your family, we just have to look." he said as he looked at her. It was only now that you saw the differences in Elros. When he was a kid he had looked average but now he was completely different. Her head almost reached to his shoulders, his dark green eyes held kindness like no other. He then smiled and you could tell that he wasn't like others, There was a certain air about him that told you he saw something in people that others didn't.

Ylva looked into his eyes, and saw everything. Her cheeks turned a bright red and a soft shy smile formed on the edge of her lips. Ylva pulled away from him a little bit. "Thank you." she said softly. It had been the first time that she turely saw the differences. Never in her life did she think she could find some one like him, never did she think it would be him.

Elros smiked when he saw her pull away and he nodded, "no problem." he said and then headed over to the door. He opened it and then waited for her to come, "we will go check around the water and see if we can find anything and then head into town. But I am sure we will find them sooner or latter." he said as he looked at her and then held out a hand. "now let's get going ." he said and then wondered what they should call her he windered if she would take to the name Runa.

She gently took his hand, and followed him into the house. Her long light blond hair flowed down her back, sort of like the waters. She looked to the family and couldn't find anything to say, so she smiled and bowed a little. "You have been more then generous to me." she spoke softly and surely. Her eyes meet Elros again and her cheeks turned a rossy red.

Elros smiled when she took his hand and then looked at his parents. They smiled at her, "that is how things should be so there is no need to thank us. We are happy to help." his mother said and Elros nodded. He then looked at her, "now then lets go look for your parents in town. but before we go I think we need to figure out something." he said as he looked at her and curiously, "do you want a new name since you cant remember yours? It would only be till you remember your name but I would rather like to call you something." he said as he looked at her.

She looked to Elros and smiled. "I would love a name." she said, her hand still was in his. She looked to him and blushed even more. It was a crazy feeling she had. She had alway wanted this boy, but he was so different now. He had changed into such a man. She moved the hair out of her face and softly smiled. "What's my name?" she asked him.

Elros smiled when he heard her and then watched as she blushed again. It was cute on her and he wondered if she already had someone in her life that she just couldn't remember. "I was thinking that Runa or Elizabeth or Zarina, which ever you like. But If you dont like any of those I have a few other in mind." he said as he looked at her and smiled.

She though about it for a moment. Thinking threw the different names he had offered her. "I like Runa." she said softly with a smile. She liked being around Elros, even if she couldn't use her powers. She looked to his family. "what do you guys think of the name?" she asked looking to everyone.
