Nimue had a lot of free time on her hands most days. Mother spent a great deal of time teaching her things, things she would need to know in the coming months and especially when she got older. But mother had distractions as well, one being father. Problem was father had his attention divided between her and mother and Ruin and his other foals. Nimue felt very under shadowed by those other foals. They looked more like father and the other herd members than she did. Father seemed the have his eyes more on those three than her. Oh he paid attention to her but three versus one, well three always won out. More chances to prove themselves worthy to him
So she spent her time alone with purpose. Mother had begun teacher her the ways she had learned from her mentor. And so Nimue worked hard to prefect what she had been taught. There was nothing too complicated at this point but with time she would perfect the art. Perhaps even her mothers old master would pick her up as an apprentice. She had found a quite place so that she could concentrate, just outside of herd lands and away from prying eyes. As far as she remembered she had also gathered all the necessary ingredients.
Now all she had to do was arrange them right and remember the correct words and it should work. Let's see here, sage at the south, sprig of pine to the west, dead frog in the centre, jade rock to the north and...oh crud what was to go in the east. Lifting her head Nimue pranced about, darn what was that last ingredient?
