Helena was sitting near Golden river. The Sun was painting the little drops at the end of the small waterfalls in different rainbow colors. Its beams were swimming around the river, so were the potamides (river nymphs).

Helena was covered in blood, her long brown hair was messy and she had a few scratches on her face. It was obvious - she had a fight. The woman got in the river and started washing herself from the blood. A potamide splashed her and giggled. "Join us!" she said. "Come on! Join us!" Helena looked at the nymph, whose skin turned grey and wrinkled, her eyes turned pitch black, and her voice could scar for life even the strongest people in the world. "JOIN US!" she replied. The other nymphs turned into the same monsters. They were all screaming and raising hands towards Helena, who immediately took her daggers. One nymph grabbed her leg and started swimming deeper and deeper. Before Helena ran out of air, she scratched the potamide's hand in order to let herself go. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!" screamed the nymphs. Her sisters swam towards Helena. They were furious for hurting one of them. They wanted revenge.

The surface was slowly turning red. Helena was swimming up and defending herself by scratching deeply the nymphs. She still didn't cause them deadly damages. Eventually, the woman could taste the air again. She grabbed the shore and tried to escape, but was pulled down by the potemides several times. After a few minutes of struggling, she finally felt land under her feet.

"It's not usual for nymphs to act like that." Helena thought. "There's something fishy..."

Myra threaded herbs around the fresh syrup and smiled to the people in front of her. "This should help the sores right away. Just place a leaf on each and dress the area." Nodding goodbye to her customer, she briskly walked to the door and pulled a key from her pocket. She had opened her store only to help her neighbors and still had a few hours before the rest of the town awoke. Walking through the city brought her a sense of peace. She was safe in this town and enjoyed her humble life.

Only a few seconds into her doting, Myra heard the screaming of nymphs. Rushing through bushes and to the shore, she saw a girl scurrying away from the water creature. Myra hurried to the girls' side and flicked her wrist to quicky send the nymphs into the water. She stared down the the victim's tattered figured and held back a gasp. "Did they do this to you?" She talked while pulling a small pack of necessities from her satchel, worried the girl would go into shock.

"That would be them and the many fellas I had a fight with earlier." Responded Helena in her usual calm manner. "Thanks for helping me. You have some pretty cool stuff there!" Myra was obviously worried that Helena's experience might have brought her to serious damage.

A loud nose blowing invaded Myra's ears. "Water in my nose." Helena quickly explained and continued clearing her nazal area.
"Thank you for helping me. My name is Helena, nice to meet you." The woman raised the hand that was used for blowing her nose.
Helena has always been taught that a normal introduction starts with a handshake.

Myra curiously examined the girl in front of her, Helena, wondering why she got in a fight. She looked more calm that Myra would be if someone fought with her, but Myra believed humans were more calm anyway. When a noise caused Myra to cover her ears though, she debated how human the girl actually was. Nodding her head to Helena, Myra massaged her temples, willing the ache to subside.

Reaching her hand to Helena's, Myra smiled. She wished the girl would be more polite but something told her she wasn't very educated in etiquette. "The pleasure is mine Helena, I'm Myra...now let's see what I can do about cleaning you up." Unraveling a few tools, herbs, and mixtures, Myra uncorked a vial of tree sap.

Cluna was in the middle of tracking a dear when he overheard the commotion " what in the heavens is going on " he asked him self, so he quickly ran over to the seen of the disturbance. He slowly drew his bow as he neared ready for what was to happen next. As he crept closer he found two women near the river " What is the meaning of this, What are you doing here? " he questioned the two in front of him not lowering his bow. " Answer what I ask of you and we shall have not problems" he stated firmly to both trying not rude to them.

Myra was about to place some herbs on Helena's wounds, when a man approached them. Slowly raising to her feet, she held her hands in front of her, and stepped in front of Helena. "There is no need for the bow, friend. This young lady was attacked by nymphs and I came to her aid."

Eyeing him up and down, Myra wondered why on earth he would think they were dangerous. She was even a little offended.

"Myra seems very protective even to strangers." Helena thought. She stepped next to Myra. She was thankful for her protectiveness, but didn't want to be treated like a helpless bunny. "We didn't do anything wrong." She carelessly put her hand on Myra's shoulder. "Why are you talking about having problems? Can't we just hang around without being mistaken for villains? It's not like we're hurting a helpless bunny or something." she said.

Cluna lowered his bow and put away the arrow " I do aplogise for the way I acted, but you never know now a days" he then to a bow " an introdution is in order , My name is Cluna Clow I hail from the west and I'm a Archer by trade" He smiled a bit and put his bow away " It is very nice to meet the both of you and I an very sorry" He said kindly to them both.

Myra nodded her head and grinned. "It is understandable I guess." She didn't really have time to return the favor to Cluna. Sure, he was well mannered after he held a bow to them, but she had other things to attend to.

Rumaging through her things again, she pulled out a couple more mint leaves and set them on Helena's wound. She stepped back and examined her job. Satisfied, she strapped her bag over her shoulder. "Helena, it was very nice to meet you. Just put a little water on those leaves and you should heal up right away."

"Thank you, Myra. You're a good person." Helena put her hand in the water for a second (before a nymph attacks her again) and poured it on her wound. In her lifestyle Helena has had many wounds, but didn't pay much attention to them. However, it's nice that there are ways to speed up the healing. "Nice to meet you too, Cluna. It is wise to have in mind that everyone might be an enemy. By the way, guys... I haven't seen nymphs attacking like that before. How about you?"
