rlm@2
|
13 Sanura stood looking down at the two the young ladies, and a small
|
|
rlm@2
|
14 smile came to her face. She looked over to the Pharaoh's daughter,
|
|
rlm@2
|
15 walked over to her, bent down, and shook her gently to rouse her.
|
|
rlm@2
|
16 "Princess, can you hear me? Princess?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
17 Ramla open her eyes a little and saw a young woman about her age
|
|
rlm@2
|
18 next to her. She was looking at her and then over her to something
|
|
rlm@2
|
19 else. Ramla turned over a little and saw Nakia lying on her side with
|
|
rlm@2
|
20 her eyes closed. Ramla's eyes widened in shock and fear.
|
|
rlm@2
|
21 Sanura could clearly see the fear in her eyes, so she reached out
|
|
rlm@2
|
22 to comfort the girl, but before she could say anything Ramla got up
|
|
rlm@2
|
23 very fast and ran over to her friend, who was still unconscious.
|
|
rlm@2
|
24 "Nakia! Are you alright? Can you hear me? Please wake up! Nakia?
|
|
rlm@2
|
25 Nakia?" she yelled in panic as she reached out and shook her friend.
|
|
rlm@2
|
26 Nakia opened her eyes to see Ramla next to her, her strange red eyes
|
|
rlm@2
|
27 overflowing with tears.
|
|
rlm@2
|
28 "Is she crying?" she thought: Ramla's eyes looked so sad, she
|
|
rlm@2
|
29 couldn't bear it. "I'm fine, Ramla, so please don't cry" she smiled,
|
|
rlm@2
|
30 reaching out and brushing the tears from the other girl's face.
|
|
rlm@2
|
31 Sanura just watched the two: she then turned her head to the phoenix
|
|
rlm@2
|
32 and saw it doing a little dance: well it looked like a dance to her.
|
|
rlm@2
|
33 She started to giggle slightly in amusment at the phoenix's antics.
|
|
rlm@2
|
34
|
|
rlm@2
|
35 Ramla and Nakia heard someone giggle, turned there heads to see the
|
|
rlm@2
|
36 young woman that woke Ramla giggling at the phoenix: both girl's eyes
|
|
rlm@2
|
37 flashed white just as lighting hit the ground somewhere out side.
|
|
rlm@2
|
38 Their eyes went back to normal. They looked at one and other and back
|
|
rlm@2
|
39 to the bird, and woman.
|
|
rlm@2
|
40 Sanura saw the young ladies looking at her and the phoenix. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
41 stopped giggling and walked over to them, then bowed down to her
|
|
rlm@2
|
42 Princess.
|
|
rlm@2
|
43 "Good evening Princess, my name is Priestess Sanura, I am here to
|
|
rlm@2
|
44 help you along with Ra's phoenix. I believe that you have meet it
|
|
rlm@2
|
45 before," she said, looking up at them.
|
|
rlm@2
|
46 Ramla looked into her eyes and could tell that she was friendly. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
47 smiled and looked over to her dark haired friend. She saw that Nakia
|
|
rlm@2
|
48 was a little worried about something.
|
|
rlm@2
|
49 "Nakia, are you alright?.... you seem a little sad."
|
|
rlm@2
|
50 "I'm fine, Ramla, I just trying to take all this in" she sighed as
|
|
rlm@2
|
51 she sat down. The Phoenix hopped over to her and sat on her lap. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
52 smiled at the bird and started to pet it.
|
|
rlm@2
|
53 Sanura got up, walked over to one of the golden bowls and waved her
|
|
rlm@2
|
54 hand. In a fraction of a second a fire had come to life. Then she
|
|
rlm@2
|
55 went to the others and repeated the process.
|
|
rlm@2
|
56 "There, nice and warm," she said walking back over to them.
|
|
rlm@2
|
57 "I think it would help, if we have a place for you to stay while
|
|
rlm@2
|
58 you're here Nakia. We should also talk to your mother, Princess;
|
|
rlm@2
|
59 after all, she cannot become part of your serving or guard without
|
|
rlm@2
|
60 your parent's approval, can she?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
61 "I believe that is a good idea, Sanura" replied Ramla turning her
|
|
rlm@2
|
62 head to the Priestess and then back to Nakia. She saw her dark haired
|
|
rlm@2
|
63 friend nod at her and went back to the Phoenix in her lap.
|
|
rlm@2
|
64 Ramla smiled, got up, walked over to her cat, picked it up and
|
|
rlm@2
|
65 started to pet it.
|
|
rlm@2
|
66 "Well have to wait for the eye of the storm to pass before we can
|
|
rlm@2
|
67 walk over to the palace in safety," the Priestess as she stared in
|
|
rlm@2
|
68 worry out of the window.
|
|
rlm@2
|
69 Ramla walked back over to Nakia and sat next to her.
|
|
rlm@2
|
70 "So Nakia, what would you like to talk about? I really don't know
|
|
rlm@2
|
71 you; I would love to know you better. If you don't mind, that is…"
|
|
rlm@2
|
72 she asked with a little smile. She was little worried that she would
|
|
rlm@2
|
73 wanted to talk to her, or stay her with her. She felt that she needs
|
|
rlm@2
|
74 her and didn't know why.
|
|
rlm@2
|
75 Nakia looked up and saw something in her new friend's eyes that made
|
|
rlm@2
|
76 her feel, well, she couldn't really tell what kind of feeling it was,
|
|
rlm@2
|
77 but she knew that if she was going to help she was going to know a
|
|
rlm@2
|
78 lot of things.
|
|
rlm@2
|
79 "What would you like to know Ramla?" Nakia replied with a smile.
|
|
rlm@2
|
80 Ramla's heart jumped when she saw that smile; she could die now and
|
|
rlm@2
|
81 she wouldn't care, for if she did she was going to die in sheer bliss.
|
|
rlm@2
|
82 "Let me see...oh, how old are you?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
83 "I'm sixteen, you?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
84 "I'm going to be sixteen in three days" she replied in a sad voice.
|
|
rlm@2
|
85 Nakia looked at her and could tell there was something wrong with
|
|
rlm@2
|
86 this. She looked over to the Priestess and saw she was thinking the
|
|
rlm@2
|
87 same thing.
|
|
rlm@2
|
88 "Ramla, I have a feeling that you need tell us something. You know
|
|
rlm@2
|
89 that we can only help you if we know what is going on." Sanura said,
|
|
rlm@2
|
90 walking back over to them with a kind smile on her face, where she
|
|
rlm@2
|
91 stopped and sat down across from them.
|
|
rlm@2
|
92 Ramla nodded and turned to Nakia who wore the same, calm expression
|
|
rlm@2
|
93 as Sanura, but her eyes told her a different story: her eyes were
|
|
rlm@2
|
94 dark, distant, broken. Ramla was very worried, and hope that she
|
|
rlm@2
|
95 could help. With that she nodded and began to explain the situation.
|
|
rlm@2
|
96 "I have to marry the High Priest of God Anubis on my birthday,"
|
|
rlm@2
|
97 Ramla sighed. "My father believes that he is right for me, and will
|
|
rlm@2
|
98 rule his kingdom in a fair and just way after my father's death. For
|
|
rlm@2
|
99 along time I have been having this feeling that something isn't right
|
|
rlm@2
|
100 about him."
|
|
rlm@2
|
101 "Your father or the high priest?" asked Nakia
|
|
rlm@2
|
102 "The high priest; his eyes tell me he is up to something; they're so
|
|
rlm@2
|
103 unnaturally pale… like a substance colder than anything ever to be
|
|
rlm@2
|
104 found in this kingdom; colder than the great river on a desert night…
|
|
rlm@2
|
105 It's as though he can see right into your thoughts; your emotions:
|
|
rlm@2
|
106 your soul to find your deepest secrets and use them to manipulate
|
|
rlm@2
|
107 you.
|
|
rlm@2
|
108 "Also there is nothing genuine about him. I have watched how he
|
|
rlm@2
|
109 treats those that are lower down the hierarchy than him, and let me
|
|
rlm@2
|
110 tell you, I feel sorry for them. He is so unimaginabley cruel to the
|
|
rlm@2
|
111 slaves that it makes me sick to think about it… But when he is with
|
|
rlm@2
|
112 me, or my mother and father he appears to be the nicest man you could
|
|
rlm@2
|
113 ever meet. I knew that he is not the right person for me, or for the
|
|
rlm@2
|
114 good of this kingdom. You have to believe me," she told them, hoping
|
|
rlm@2
|
115 they would understand.
|
|
rlm@2
|
116 Ra's pet jumped up and walk over to her and bow to her. Then walked
|
|
rlm@2
|
117 back over to Nakia and lay down in her lap.
|
|
rlm@2
|
118 "Well, it looks like she believes you, Princess, and I knew that I
|
|
rlm@2
|
119 feel the same way about him, and so I trust you and believe you,"
|
|
rlm@2
|
120 answered Sanura, whoe bowed again and went over to the window. Ramla
|
|
rlm@2
|
121 slowly looked over to Nakia. Her eyes were closed and for the first
|
|
rlm@2
|
122 time saw the symbol on her forehead: it was Ra's symbol and it was
|
|
rlm@2
|
123 glowing.
|
|
rlm@2
|
124 "Nakia," she said in a worried voice.
|
|
rlm@2
|
125 Nakia opened her eyes and smiled at her. "Princess, I believe you. I
|
|
rlm@2
|
126 will help you any way I can, but I still don't know why Ra asks me, a
|
|
rlm@2
|
127 peasent girl from another kingdom, of all people," she answers.
|
|
rlm@2
|
128 The Phoenix started to sing a bright yet ethereal melody: the power
|
|
rlm@2
|
129 coming from its song was making everyone calm: all of them were now
|
|
rlm@2
|
130 deep within their own thoughts.
|
|
rlm@2
|
131 In Ramla was looking at Nakia, studying her unusual-looking friend
|
|
rlm@2
|
132 as strange thoughts began to gnaw their way into her mind.
|
|
rlm@2
|
133 "I don't knew why Ra ask you to help me Nakia, but I very glad he
|
|
rlm@2
|
134 did…I wonder what her lips feel like…No, what am I thinking; I can't
|
|
rlm@2
|
135 think like that. Women cannot love other women; the Gods decreed it
|
|
rlm@2
|
136 to be this way… didn't they?" Ramla's face became very red and she
|
|
rlm@2
|
137 turns her head to look out the window hoping that her dark-haired
|
|
rlm@2
|
138 friend didn't see her blush.
|
|
rlm@2
|
139 Nakia was in deep thought: she was looking at her new friend, and
|
|
rlm@2
|
140 was trying to find out why she had been chosen for such a task. So
|
|
rlm@2
|
141 many questions had come into her mind that she felt like her head
|
|
rlm@2
|
142 might soon burst.
|
|
rlm@2
|
143 "Why did she turn to look out the window, and is she blushing too?
|
|
rlm@2
|
144 Why do I have this feeling in me, what is it, and why do I feel it's
|
|
rlm@2
|
145 what will help her? What can I do to help a princess; goddess I wish
|
|
rlm@2
|
146 I had some answers." Nakia's eerie, violet eyes scanned the room and
|
|
rlm@2
|
147 then turned back to the princess.
|
|
rlm@2
|
148 Sanura was just looking out the window and into the coming storm.
|
|
rlm@2
|
149 The strangely cold wind whipped across her face as she sat there deep
|
|
rlm@2
|
150 in thought.
|
|
rlm@2
|
151 "Goddess, I now see why Ra chose that young woman to help the
|
|
rlm@2
|
152 princess, but they need more time, I don't knew what I can to do to
|
|
rlm@2
|
153 help them; I fear that they may have her killed if she is with the
|
|
rlm@2
|
154 princess. I will try to think of something in the meantime."
|
|
rlm@2
|
155 She turned around and looked at the two girls: one was looking out
|
|
rlm@2
|
156 the window and the other was watching her. A smile came to her face.
|
|
rlm@2
|
157 "Well, I think we need to make a plan first of all."
|
|
rlm@2
|
158 "A plan?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
159 "Yes, we have to plan what we're going to tell your mother, Ramla.
|
|
rlm@2
|
160 Any ideas?" she asked them.
|
|
rlm@2
|
161 They sat there thinking off ideas: after about fifteen minutes they
|
|
rlm@2
|
162 looked at one another and sighed.
|
|
rlm@2
|
163 "I got nothing, couldn't lie to my mother about anything at all, and
|
|
rlm@2
|
164 she would knew if I was lying to her," Ramla said, laughing quietly.
|
|
rlm@2
|
165 "Yes, I would do a bad job at lying too; it wouldn't feel right to
|
|
rlm@2
|
166 lie to my Queen" replied Sanura with a grin.
|
|
rlm@2
|
167 Nakia did say anything, but she knew that lying would not get them
|
|
rlm@2
|
168 anywhere, so she just nodded.
|
|
rlm@2
|
169 "I have a feeling that your mother will understand if you just tell
|
|
rlm@2
|
170 her what is going on," replied Nakia. The phoenix got up, turned,
|
|
rlm@2
|
171 nodded at Nakia, and took off out the window.
|
|
rlm@2
|
172 "I think someone thinks the same thing," replied Sanura, who was
|
|
rlm@2
|
173 looking out the window watching the bird fly to the palace as the eye
|
|
rlm@2
|
174 of the storm crept ominously closer into view.
|
|
rlm@2
|
175
|
|
rlm@2
|
176
|
|
rlm@2
|
177 A/N- I hoped everyone like this chapter. I hope to have the next
|
|
rlm@2
|
178 chapter up soon. And a new character will be introduced eheeeheh.
|
|
rlm@2
|
179 Just thought I ask people to review little more and thanks to those
|
|
rlm@2
|
180 that do it helps. And thanks again to my beta Silver Sailor Ganymede
|
|
rlm@2
|
181 you rock! |
