Lake Nostros (Open)

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

The Minotaur moved out of the forest he was calling home now, closer to Lake Nostros he knew the rumors of the lake though it did not matter at the moment he needed a drink & the other river he would of went to there was more people around, something that would prove to be more a danger to him, other wise he would of ran the people off, if mealy for a bit of fun & sport. Though as he approached the lake he was careful, yet it appeared that he being the beast he was was not bound by the path other others that came here. He did take a look around to see that no one else was around before he lowered himself & then his hands into the water to bring the water to him, though he was finding it at times was more simple to lower his head like a beast to drink then to drink like more a human & in the end that is what he did, finding the waters helped to easy his thirst though for now they did not break the curse, perhaps they where not meant to.

Abigail/Kathryn Goldberg

Princess Abigail wandered through the forest in disguise. Ever since Frederick had been cured she had decided she wanted to help Snow and James against King George and Queen Regina. So she and Frederick had left their kingdom in disguises and seperated for the moment. He had gone off to get some food and perhaps more firewood and she'd wandered off to Lake Nostros as it happened to be nearby. It was then she noticed the minotaur and flinched. This couldn't be the creature Prince James had slain could it? She supposed a new creature could have come and taken over protecting the magical lake. She turned to go not wanting to upset the creature but tripped and fell over. She blushed embarrassed no doubt the minotaur had heard her. She sighed realizing if he was unfriendly she couldn't outrun him and had no weapons to defend herself as she'd left them at the camp. So she walked out and smiled at the minotaur.

"Forgive the intrusion. I mean you no harm. I'm Abigail. I just wanted to see the lake for myself. Its waters broke my boyfriend from being trapped as a gold statue. A friend of mine retrieved the water for me. But if you'd like to be left in peace I'll go." said Kathryn.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

The minotaur had smelled Princess Abigail he had looked up with her smell, yet when it was gone he thought she had left it was when he heard her trip he looked up looking for who caused the sound when he saw her move he heard her words he was quick to stand, the though to charge her was there yet he held back not sure why he did not just run her down perhaps becouse she did not make a threat to him right now. He watched her & listened to her for now, as he thought on what to do & still thought it over, yet he did not see at the moment it coming down to her being greatly harmed.

Abigail/Kathryn Goldberg

Abigail looked at him as he didn't respond to her. Perhaps he couldn't speak. She thought he might be ignoring her at first but he looked at as if he was listening.

"Are you the new guardian of the lake? The last one was killed a couple months ago. A siren I think it was. My friend helped me get that water after so many others failed. And you.."

She trailed off at the realization. The water could cure curses as she looked at him in sympathy.

"You were cursed weren't you? Have you drunk from it yet?" asked Abigail.

She wanted to help him but she knew nothing about breaking curses. Rumplestiltskin had led her to this lake and after several tries Prince James had helped her out. Perhaps Rumplestiltskin could help her again. Or the fairies. There had to be some way to break this creature's curse. That is if he was under a curse.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He listened to her words perhaps it was the water that helped him form turning more into a beast at least in the mind. He watched her he was not the new gaurdian at least he had not taken on the role of it, but perhaps he could at times it could be away to get his peace. He was not sure if he should speak or not he desided that he would for now "The water has done nothing for me & yes I was curse not that it matters" He watched her not sure why he had spoken, yet he wanted to see what would happen next.

Abigail/Kathryn Goldberg

Abigail listened to him as he finally spoke.

"I wish I could help you. There must be a way to break your curse. But if the water didn't cure you then perhaps someone else could. The fairies. They use good magic. And I'm sure they could help you." said Abigail.

Although this seemed like a powerful curse. The main three villains she was aware of were Malefient, Rumpletstiltskin, and Regina. If any of them had cursed him then it might be tough to break. But no curse was unstoppable. There had to be a way to undo it somehow.

"If you're hungry I have some food at my camp I can share." said Kathryn.

She wasn't sure if he hunted or not. Or if he was even successful. But it was up to him if he accepted or turned down her offer to help. She would search for the fairies if possible on her own. She hadn't thought to ask them about Frederick but now perhaps they could help Minos. If she could find one of them.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He heard her words he just never thought of asking the fairies for help, perhaps he had just over looked asking but he knew it was more he did not think anyone could help him. However the idea to ask to be free of his curse was somthing he would have to look into "I am not hungry but, thank you for asking" He also knew that it could come across bad if other where at her camp sight, it could place her in danger not that he should care yet he did so he knew he would turn down her offer of food. He could speak with the fairies later on after he was left alone, with out having to worry about what was to come at least as much.

Abigail/Kathryn Goldberg

Abigail nodded to him.

"Well we have more than enough food. We brought extra in case we came across someone in need. And we're going to be here a couple days. If you need any food I can make a trip here tonight and leave some. Bread, fruit, whatever you want. That way you'll have some food for a few days. I want to help you. If you let me." said Abigail.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He heard her words & for a time thought to take her up on the offer, but he dared not trust anyone he feared doing so would only lead to danger for him or being put in a cage somthing he did not look forward to. "I will think on your help & I thank you for the offer, but right now I pass" He hopped that it would all work out with out any issues would come to play or turn out really bad, for one of them.

Abigail/Kathryn Goldberg

Abigail nodded.

"Alright. If that is your decision. But if you ever change your mind I will be nearby. There is a clearing not far from here with an stump in the center. If you desire help from me meet me there. I shall wait you there for an hour every morning we are here. Frederick will just think I'm walking around. He won't mind. And he won't miss some food or extra supplies if you need them." said Abigail.

She paused as she spoke again.

"I wish there was a way I could help you. No one deserves to be cursed." said Kathryn.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

At her words he nodded "I will keep that in mind, should I need help" He nodded her words "It is true, but I am still cursed at least for now & I wish you could help me as well" He watched her not sure on what he could say to her or do for her but, perhaps with time he would be able to help her.

Abigail/Kathryn Goldberg

Abigail nodded.

"Very well. If you need anything let me know. I'll be there once in the morning and once at night." said Abigail.

She paused as he said he wished she could help but he was cursed.

"I wish you luck in breaking this curse. If I find a way to break it in my travels I shall return here. And if you aren't here then I'll try to find you if I can." said Abigail.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He heard her first words & nodded that he heard her at her last words he spoke "It would be great if you found somthing & I am sure are paths with cross once more. I wish you & those traveling with you a safe trip where even you end up"

[Deleted]

Abigail/Kathryn Goldberg

Abigail nodded.

"Yes it would. Frederick's curse was broken and if I can help you in some way I will. I wish you safety in your journey as well." said Abigail.

She paused as she turned to him.

"There is something else I could do for you." said Abigail.

She paused taking a ring off with the royal insignia and handing it to him.

"If you wear this no one shall be allowed to kill you. A law in my kingdom says no one is allowed to harm someone wearing the royal seal. It's meant to keep the royal family safe but it applies to everyone wearing this. I have more in my camp I can use. If anyone tries to harm you it will be as if they tried to kill a prince so most people will leave you alone. I can't stop everyone from coming after you but until this curse is lifted I thought this ring would be the next best thing." said Abigail.

She smiled genuinely hoping he'd take it.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He was a bit supprised with her actions, he head to hold his place to not back away form her as she moved closer he heard her words on the ring & looked at it he thought to turn down the offerr, but he held back since it could look bad on him. "Thank you for the ring, when the curse is broken I will be sure to return it to you & give use reason to speak to each other again face to face"
