The forest, a place of calm and solidarity. Where was once a large pool of water had grown a massive tree, one that towered far above the rest in the area. It provided a great deal of shade on the ground and a large birth of space around it where no other trees dared grow. The massive root system was mostly above ground having curled around the small pond. Which in turn nestled it in what could be described as protective arms. This tree was not always there, having only been a new growth as of two and a half months prior it had the most interesting of growths. A large rose bud. While it started out small, it had since grown with each passing day without promise of blooming.

Each day that passed the surrounding area of the tree thrived with life. Berry bushes, editable plants, medicinal herbs and vegetables. In addition to this the animals that entered the clearing around the tree, no matter the species did not harm each other. It was a rather common sight for wolves to bed down with deer in the clearing ignoring all those that entered. While not a holy place, the clearing hummed with natural magic that was in and of itself pure. Untampered. Raw. Ancient. Something about the tree itself was unadulterated by the passing of time.

The rose that grew from the trunk of the tree seemed to echo the same magic, though in a slightly different manner. The bloom had been there for a good deal of time, almost a full month had passed since it initially sprouted but it appeared that it was going to fully bloom in the very near future. Some of its petals already have begun to open.

Klaus had a complicated relationship with nature.

The demonic side of his blood would stereotype him as being destructive, knowing only hellfire, having no appreciation for delicate life, etcetera. And while he did have darker leanings, that couldn't be further from the truth.

His mother had given him a love for all things floral (particularly roses, as the Rosales were known for), and both parents had offered him greed. When he liked something, he protected and kept it, he didn't harm it. As long as it didn't run from him.

He disagreed with parts of the natural system. Beauty, death, rebirth, repeat. It was as fascinating as it was frustrating. He preferred immortality, but couldn't help having his interest captured, all the same. Very bittersweet.

Around a month ago, Klaus had been alerted to something interesting, very far into the forest. Since first looking into it, he'd been making the effort to continuing checking in, making the trek out.

Being away from civilization, and all he had with it, always started him off with a feeling of discomfort. However, the further he got, and the more time his aura had to sink into things, the more it left him. By the time he'd gotten to the clearing, it had disappeared entirely. It was quiet, light, and just a bit lonely here.

It was pure, as well. He didn't so much fight that as he didn't allow it to affect him. He could exist here without tampering with most of the area, but he wouldn't change himself to fit in. Never.

'Most of' was the key wording. There was something here that he already felt terribly possessive over. He made a beeline for the rose the moment he arrived, checking it for blemishes just in case, lazily touching and complimenting the flower. Plants needed as much care as animals did, his mother had always told him. He believed this was especially true in regards to magical plants.

After doing that, Klaus moved back to a nearby tree root, shrugging off his jacket and putting it down for a makeshift resting spot before settling down himself for a nap, right under a stray sunbeam. The first time he'd done this it'd been an accident, then it started being routine, because it gave him one of the best rested feelings he'd ever had.

Tha-Thump. Tha-Thump. Tha-Thump.

Not long into the nap that Klaus took within the clearing the sound and feel of something pulsing with life could be felt. Throughout the clearing and beyond animals flocked, daring not to rest themselves on the roots of the tree. However. All of which had their eyes affixed onto the compact car sized bloom. The bud whom took oh so long, taking its absolute time finally began to open.

Slowly at first and then with time increasing in speed the bud reached full bloom. With this a release of power raw and ancient could be felt in addition to the luscious and almost delicate fragrance that was the rose. Nestled in the center of the bloom was a wisp of a girl. With a delicate flutter her eyes opened displaying the starling azure hues.

A moment passed and, akin to that of a butterfly coming from its cocoon the blonde haired young woman sat up, her arms stretching wide. Only once the girl had sat up did the animals return to acting as before. They once more rested on various parts of the tree and differing areas of the clearing. None coming to harm in such a place as did no acts of hostility did take place.

Much like any of the other visits that Klaus would of had in his time coming to the tree and resulting flower.. He would have bunnies and other small animals often nestle besides him or even on him. Much like one another they accepted his presence as if he belonged there just as much as they did.

The girl finally finding her voice opens her mouth and with a voice that had the same charm as wind chimes was heard. "Hello there.. Were you waiting for me?" Her voice held a rather inquisitive tone to it.
