Nimue - Bernard Cornwell "The Winter King"

My interpretation of Nimue in one of my favorite scenes from the book "The Winter King", by Bernard Cornwell. One of my favorite characters.

– When I walked through that door, naked, with two snakes and a bat hidden under a dead man's skin, I was confronting a king, his Druid and his warriors. One girl, Derfel, against a king, a Druid and a royal guard. Who won?

– You.

– So the trick worked, but it wasn't my power that made it work. It was the power of the Gods, but I had to believe in that power to make it work. And to believe, Derfel, you must devote your life to it.
