The sweet singing of birds along with the sound of leaves when touched by a calming morning breeze. Nature's mirror resting right before the Lady. The stunning aroma of flowers. The soft touch of grass at the palm of the Lady's hand. A place proper from a dream, a paradise.

Lady Elizabeth took her time to finally open her eyes. She noticed the crown on her head, she took it off to see it, happy and confused tears escaped her eyes. She putted the crown back on as she tried to held her sobbing.

"Someone cares about me?" Mumbled while waterfalls went down her face.

The water started to break. Like during the night, the nymph showed herself again in front of the Lady, yet now she was awake.

"Who are you? What are you?!" Asked Lady Elizabeth in shock.

The nymph looked at her startled. The Lady flinched a bit and remained silent.

"Why don't you answer? You can't talk?" Proceeded to ask as the nymph didn't move her mouth.

The blue-skinned creature nodded.

"You understand what I'm saying?". She nodded again.

Lady Elizabeth stared at her for a few minutes. Observed her from head to toes, not loosing any detail.

The nymph moved towards her and stepped out of the lake. She sat down in front of the Lady and pointed at the flower crown. Lady Elizabeth seemed quite surprised.

"Did you make it?" Said while taking it in her hands. The nymph, once again, nodded.

"It's really pretty. Thank you", Lady Elizabeth mumbled and lowered her head as she noticed her face heating up.

The nymph looked concerned. She took the crown from Lady Elizabeth's hands and placed it on her head. Lady Elizabeth looked up surprised to see that the mythical creature in front of her had a beautiful, wide smile drawn on her face to what she responded with the same act.
