Royal, H. Mikaelson

Strongest Creature

Nathan was having breakfast in his room when he heard knocking on the door. He went to open the door to find Hope on the other side, her hair were still wet from a shower as he smiled at her.

"Good morning Hope."

She smiled back at him, which brightened a little when he stepped aside, "Come on, I have eggs."

She thanked him and stepped inside, as Nathan stepped into the kitchen to make some for her.

"So, what are your plans for the boy?"

"I saw him."

Nathan turned to her with intrigue, "When?" He asked.

"Before I saw you actually."

"And why didn't you tell me that?"

"I don't know."

"Weird answer but ok."

"So I'm going to work on other things before I talk to him." She said and by then Nathan had put the plate full of an omelette in front of her and slide his own towards himself and started eating.

"Fair enough, so what do you mean by other things?"

Hope looked at him with a smirk and then reached for the salt shaker, then she sprinkled some salt on the table and put her hand on top of it.

She raised her hand and the salt started floating, she moved her hand a little and it started to swirl. She then placed the hand back on the salt and then looked at him.

He was smiling down at her as he smirked and said.

"You could have said you are a witch."

Hope smiled at him mischievously.

"I did."

He smiled back at her, feeling attached already and he knew this was something deep.

"Hmm, so - since you showed me your thing. I'm guessing you know who I am?" Nathan asked, he didn't want to give anything away in case this Hope was a dangerous element. He didn't get such a feeling from her but one could never be too sure.

So when she nodded her head he leaned in a bit.

"I was about to leave and find someone else to help me, but now that I'm staying. Will you help me Rouge?"

Nathan smirked at her, then he saw the depth in her eyes and immediately deduced that what she was asking for was very important to her.

This actually made him think for a bit before he answered her but soon enough he decided to;

"I will, but what is that you need help with?"

"I want to learn magic." She immediately said and Nathan was about to laugh at that, it was an easy enough request but before he laughed his gears moved and realised what type of magic this one was after.

"You want to learn Dark Magic?" He asked, a little tense and a little threatening. He didn't know why but his gut was telling him to teach her but logic was against the idea. However he still let her to answer, which she did.

"I know natural magic, I know it well but I am not powerful enough."

"What about a grimoire? Surely your family must have one?"

She stared at her empty plate of eggs a little bit longer, so family was a sensitive topic for her. Good to know, as he waited for answers.

"I did, but I lost it all in a fire."; This was all she said as she looked anywhere but at him. He hummed to himself, but before he could muse on it longer his phone rang.
