|
|
rlm@0
|
10 The Phoenix flew very quickly down the hall, its eyes glowing redder
|
|
rlm@0
|
11 and get redder as it went. The flames its wings began to increase in
|
|
rlm@0
|
12 size and flare out on either side of it. Layla felt something
|
|
rlm@0
|
13 powerful coming her way, closer and closer with every passing second;
|
|
rlm@0
|
14 she knew she should have been terrified, but whatever it was couldn't
|
|
rlm@0
|
15 be worse than the memories she was seeing, could it? The flashes of
|
|
rlm@0
|
16 her mother stopped and Layla slumped forward, gasping for breath as
|
|
rlm@0
|
17 though she had been saved from drowning. Anubis' Priest saw a glow
|
|
rlm@0
|
18 golden flame coming down the hall and narrowed his eyes.
|
|
rlm@0
|
19 "Well, it looks like time's up" he thought as he tried to walk to
|
|
rlm@0
|
20 the side door, but found that he couldn't move. The Phoenix dove into
|
|
rlm@0
|
21 the room, landed behind Layla and put its flaming wings around her to
|
|
rlm@0
|
22 shield her. Layla felt so safe and warm that she fell asleep, all
|
|
rlm@0
|
23 worries banished from her mind. The bird didn't take her eyes off the
|
|
rlm@0
|
24 priest: it so wanted to attack him, but it had to make sure that the
|
|
rlm@0
|
25 human was alright until other humans came… then he was going to feel
|
|
rlm@0
|
26 what Hell's fire really was. The Phoenix began once more to sing, but
|
|
rlm@0
|
27 this time it was a scream of pure rage and hatred, so loud that the
|
|
rlm@0
|
28 very palace itself began to shake. The Priest fell to the floor with
|
|
rlm@0
|
29 his hands to his ears so as to somewhat block out the infernal noise.
|
|
rlm@0
|
30 "I believe that I have made it mad, will this should be fun," he
|
|
rlm@0
|
31 smirked, got back on his feet and began to concentrate: quite
|
|
rlm@0
|
32 suddenly his eyes turned black.
|
|
rlm@0
|
33 "So Ra sends his only pet to stop me; I'm not scared of you, so
|
|
rlm@0
|
34 let's play!" he yelled at it and laughed evilly.
|
|
rlm@0
|
35 The phoenix knew that he was up to something, but couldn't tell
|
|
rlm@0
|
36 what. She could hear someone enter from the left and then more from
|
|
rlm@0
|
37 the right. She saw the Great Pharaoh to the left: he was standing
|
|
rlm@0
|
38 there looking shocked and a little scared as to what was happening.
|
|
rlm@0
|
39 His eyes showed a different story; it showed power and it had the
|
|
rlm@0
|
40 eyes of a loving father. She then felt the humans behind her. She
|
|
rlm@0
|
41 removed her wings and took off towards Anubis' priest with anger. The
|
|
rlm@0
|
42 priest just saw the pharaoh and the women enter the room. He smirked
|
|
rlm@0
|
43 has Ra's pet came towards him: he let the firebird hit him and they
|
|
rlm@0
|
44 both went through the wall and out into the storm. His body rolled
|
|
rlm@0
|
45 around on the ground like a rag doll. He finally stopped when his
|
|
rlm@0
|
46 body hit one of the columns near the palace. The rain and wind wasn't
|
|
rlm@0
|
47 helping much with this, he noted: he slowly got up and looked around
|
|
rlm@0
|
48 for the damned bird. It was hard to see with this rain coming down
|
|
rlm@0
|
49 like it was, and the wind was trying to push him around. He finally
|
|
rlm@0
|
50 saw it and it was coming right at him. He could steam where the rain
|
|
rlm@0
|
51 had hit the Phoenix's flaming wings.
|
|
rlm@0
|
52 "Well, it looks like it's going to try to kill me, how quaint; it
|
|
rlm@0
|
53 will never truly be able to do that, but oh well, it seems that I
|
|
rlm@0
|
54 must kill it instead. I knew that I can't really kill you, my dear
|
|
rlm@0
|
55 Phoenix, but we're in darkness and that is my element." He thought as
|
|
rlm@0
|
56 he moved into the shadow of the columns and made his eyes glow black
|
|
rlm@0
|
57 again: then he disappeared into the shadows themselves. He moved very
|
|
rlm@0
|
58 fast in the shadows and got right beside the bird. He just smiled
|
|
rlm@0
|
59 evilly as a sword appeared in his hand and attacked the Phoenix.
|
|
rlm@0
|
60 As the phoenix saw him disappear, she thought about where would he
|
|
rlm@0
|
61 attack. Then she saw something moving in the shadows.
|
|
rlm@0
|
62 It was the High Priest; he was moving throughout the shadows in such
|
|
rlm@0
|
63 a way that she could have sworn he had become a part of them: still
|
|
rlm@0
|
64 she didn't have much time to think about that as he attacked. She
|
|
rlm@0
|
65 moved out of the way just before the sword hit her side. Golden
|
|
rlm@0
|
66 feathers shot from her left wing at him as she rolled to her side,
|
|
rlm@0
|
67 then he moved back into the shadow and disappeared.
|
|
rlm@0
|
68 The priest looked around and saw the feathers that came out of the
|
|
rlm@0
|
69 bird burst into flames.
|
|
rlm@0
|
70 "Well I didn't see that one coming, I believe it's time to disappear
|
|
rlm@0
|
71 for now, I can't win with the weather like this - it slows me down to
|
|
rlm@0
|
72 much. I will have other chance soon enough," he thought. He stepped
|
|
rlm@0
|
73 out into the open and saw the young women and the Pharaoh, who was
|
|
rlm@0
|
74 holding his wife. They were looking out into the rain watching what
|
|
rlm@0
|
75 had happened between himself and the phoenix.
|
|
rlm@0
|
76 "Well, it looks like I can take care of one problems before I go" he
|
|
rlm@0
|
77 thought evilly, then he moved as fast as he could through the rain,
|
|
rlm@0
|
78 trying to keep from be seen by Ra's little toy.
|
|
rlm@0
|
79 As the Pharaoh held this wife, his mind went back to what had
|
|
rlm@0
|
80 happened before all of this.
|
|
rlm@0
|
81
|
|
rlm@0
|
82 (Flashback)
|
|
rlm@0
|
83 The Pharaoh entered the room to see a fire-like bird shielding
|
|
rlm@0
|
84 something with its wings then he looked behind the animal and saw
|
|
rlm@0
|
85 this wife, daughter, and the two young ladies. One looked like she
|
|
rlm@0
|
86 was a priestess - he could tell by the clothes she was wearing - but
|
|
rlm@0
|
87 the other woman, the one with black hair, was wearing a tattered
|
|
rlm@0
|
88 dress that looked very old and worn. As they stopped behind the bird,
|
|
rlm@0
|
89 it opened it wings to reveal one of its wounds, she looked like she
|
|
rlm@0
|
90 was in bad shape. The bird had then taken off and attacked the
|
|
rlm@0
|
91 priest. With the power behind the flying firebird they both went
|
|
rlm@0
|
92 flying through the wall and out into the rain. The priestess walked
|
|
rlm@0
|
93 over to the young girl on the floor to see if she was alright. She
|
|
rlm@0
|
94 picked up her and as they left he saw his daughter holding on to the
|
|
rlm@0
|
95 other woman with black hair. His wife was just standing there with a
|
|
rlm@0
|
96 worried look on her face. He walked over to them.
|
|
rlm@0
|
97 "I believe, my wife, that you have some things to tell me," he said:
|
|
rlm@0
|
98 it was not so much a question as a statement.
|
|
rlm@0
|
99 His wife just nodded and told her everything that she thought was
|
|
rlm@0
|
100 important. He believed what she told him; why would she lie? He then
|
|
rlm@0
|
101 looked over to his daughter and smiled at her. He walked over to the
|
|
rlm@0
|
102 hall with his wife to see what was going on. His daughter and friend
|
|
rlm@0
|
103 were close by and were still holding one another.
|
|
rlm@0
|
104 ((End Flashback)
|
|
rlm@0
|
105
|
|
rlm@0
|
106 The Priest moved up to the Queen and Pharaoh with his sword ready to
|
|
rlm@0
|
107 attack. The Pharaoh just saw the man run right at him; he knew what
|
|
rlm@0
|
108 was happening, so he pushed his wife to the side, and took the hit
|
|
rlm@0
|
109 hard. The sword went through his heart like a knife through butter.
|
|
rlm@0
|
110 Lightning hit the ground as his body fell, never to get back up
|
|
rlm@0
|
111 again. The three women just looked on with shock. Neith saw her
|
|
rlm@0
|
112 husband mouth 'I love you' before he died. She slowly crept over to
|
|
rlm@0
|
113 him and closed his eyes. She looked over to her one and only daughter
|
|
rlm@0
|
114 and started to cry.
|
|
rlm@0
|
115 Ramla saw her father fall and her mother crying. She looked up to
|
|
rlm@0
|
116 Nakia and saw a glowing like she never saw before. The feeling coming
|
|
rlm@0
|
117 from her friend was a deep sadness. She just held her with all the
|
|
rlm@0
|
118 power that she had. Nakia saw it again and again and knew that no
|
|
rlm@0
|
119 matter what pain she felt she knew that, for Ramla it must have been
|
|
rlm@0
|
120 a thousand times worse.
|
|
rlm@0
|
121 Her thoughts kept flashing back to that what had just happened
|
|
rlm@0
|
122 before for her and what had happen to her father. It was the same
|
|
rlm@0
|
123 thing, her mother crying over her husband with her little girl
|
|
rlm@0
|
124 looking on.
|
|
rlm@0
|
125 "Ramla, it's happing again, he needs to be stopped now," she told
|
|
rlm@0
|
126 her with a harder and sadness in her voice. She moved away from her
|
|
rlm@0
|
127 and started to walk to the priest, who was just grinning. She then
|
|
rlm@0
|
128 couldn't take it anymore and ran right into him; they both fell over
|
|
rlm@0
|
129 in the sand, which had by then been permeated with water and had
|
|
rlm@0
|
130 begun to turn to mud. The priest looked up to what pushed him over,
|
|
rlm@0
|
131 and saw that it was the black haired girl. He just grinned: he could
|
|
rlm@0
|
132 get rid of her sooner than he had thought.
|
|
rlm@0
|
133 "Well, well, what do we have here? It looks like someone wants die
|
|
rlm@0
|
134 today," he thought. He got up, grabbed his sword and made another one
|
|
rlm@0
|
135 appeared in his other hand.
|
|
rlm@0
|
136 "So you want to play has well? Come on then, my dear," he snarled to
|
|
rlm@0
|
137 her.
|
|
rlm@0
|
138 Nakia slow got up, the rain and wind was now at its peak: the eye of
|
|
rlm@0
|
139 the storm was approaching, that much was obvious. She couldn't stand
|
|
rlm@0
|
140 straight because of the ferocity of the wind. She then felt someone
|
|
rlm@0
|
141 holding onto her. She looked to her side and saw Ramla looking up at
|
|
rlm@0
|
142 her with a smile and nodded. Nakia just nodded back: they both turned
|
|
rlm@0
|
143 to the priest with their eyes flashing white as his glowed black.
|
|
rlm@0
|
144 The thunder roared on in the background, but through the thunder
|
|
rlm@0
|
145 you could hear a song. They looked around trying to find out were it
|
|
rlm@0
|
146 was coming from. Ramla then spotted it: it was the phoenix. She was
|
|
rlm@0
|
147 on top of a nearby column and her red eyes were glowing with such
|
|
rlm@0
|
148 power that it started to scare them both. She was going to kill him:
|
|
rlm@0
|
149 first he killed the pharaoh, and the wanted to kill her human and her
|
|
rlm@0
|
150 human's lover. She spread her wings high into the air and started to
|
|
rlm@0
|
151 grow to a monstrous size until she was about as big as a dragon. The
|
|
rlm@0
|
152 flames coming off her were causing rays of light to break through the
|
|
rlm@0
|
153 clouds all around them. She cried out into the storm then she took
|
|
rlm@0
|
154 off and shot two golden feathers at the priest.
|
|
rlm@0
|
155 He was looking right at the phoenix in shock: he started to shake,
|
|
rlm@0
|
156 then he saw the two feathers coming right at him, and the gigantic
|
|
rlm@0
|
157 bird was right behind them. He flinched away in anticipation of the
|
|
rlm@0
|
158 blow but in never came. The feathers went past him to the two females
|
|
rlm@0
|
159 that were looking on. The bird flew behind them and landed.
|
|
rlm@0
|
160 "What is going on, the power coming from them is so great that it
|
|
rlm@0
|
161 making my head spin," he wondered.
|
|
rlm@0
|
162 Ramla and Nakia watched the phoenix grow and shot something at
|
|
rlm@0
|
163 them. They could feel a power in them and it kept on growing: then
|
|
rlm@0
|
164 the two feathers stopped right in front of them and the gigantic
|
|
rlm@0
|
165 firebird land behind them. The two feathers started to change into
|
|
rlm@0
|
166 two beautiful swords. Both swords had the symbol of Ra on them and a
|
|
rlm@0
|
167 white flower going spiraling all the way down the polished steel
|
|
rlm@0
|
168 blades.
|
|
rlm@0
|
169 Ramla and Nakia closed their eyes and held out heir hands: it was as
|
|
rlm@0
|
170 if the swords were calling to them. The two swords disappeared from
|
|
rlm@0
|
171 where they were floating in the air and then reappeared in their
|
|
rlm@0
|
172 hands. The dragon-like phoenix covered them with its wings. Then a
|
|
rlm@0
|
173 flash of flames came from within the wings: it was so bright that the
|
|
rlm@0
|
174 priest had to shield his eyes, as did Neith. Then it died down and
|
|
rlm@0
|
175 the bird removed its wings: and there stood Ramla and Nakia in
|
|
rlm@0
|
176 Egyptian princess dresses with the symbol of Ra on their foreheads
|
|
rlm@0
|
177 and their eyes glowing eerily white.

180 A/N- I hope everyone like this chapter, the next chapter will be
|
|
rlm@0
|
181 about Ramla and Nakia as they take on the high Priest of Anubis. Oh
|
|
rlm@0
|
182 and if you have time could you review? I would really appreciate it.
