10 The Eye of the Storm
11
12 A woman with long blonde hair was pacing around her daughter's
13 room as she waited for her to return. She was Neith, the Queen of
14 Egypt: she was a kind and loving person, a fair ruler whom her people
15 loved. At the moment, Neith was very worried; she didn't know were
16 her daughter was.
17 Neith put all thoughts of how terrified her duaghter must have been
18 out of her mind as she saw that the eye of the strom was directly
19 above her; she could only watch and wait for now.
20 "Ramla" she whispered to herself. As she looked up into the sky she
21 saw bird fly towards her. She had never seen such a beautiful bird:
22 nor indeed a bird that even remotely resmebled the one that was now
23 flying towards her. It was lager than the majority of the birds in
24 their land, and its plumage was as gold as the sands and as red as
25 the sun. It was beautiful, yes, but there was something ominous about
26 its presence… something unearthly. As the bird got closer, it landed
27 right in front of her and bowed. Neith's eyes widened as realisation
28 struck her.
29 "Is that a Phoenix?" she wondered and, to her shock, the bird nodded
30 its head as if it had heard her thoughts. She looked into its eyes
31 and saw Ra's symbol. She covered her mouth with her hands as she
32 gasped in shock. The bird began to sing a sweet, enchanting melody,
33 and Neith, who now felt more tranquil than she could ever remember
34 feeling before, closed her eyes and sat down next to it. She started
35 to hum along with it: the two together produced such beautful harmony
36 that it could be heared it all over the kingdom. A ray of light
37 landed on them, but Neith did not notice: she simply sat there, deep
38 within her own thoughts.
39 "So, this is Ra's Phoenix, I have this feeling in my heart that its
40 here to help, the song that its singing… I feel it's trying to tell
41 me something."
42 Images began to flash through her mind: she saw her daughter and
43 another woman talk to Ra himself, she also saw the Ra talking to his
44 wife, Selkhet: then it moved to Selkhet talking to what looked like
45 one of her Priestesses, and then it moved to that Priestesses talking
46 to her daughter and that other woman.
47 Neith opened her eyes to see that the Phoenix was set in her lap
48 sleeping.
49 "Well, at less I knew she is well," she said, petting the bird and
50 smiling slightly. Then something caught her eye, something that made
51 her jump: her daughter, Ramla, and her dark-haired friend had come
52 into view, and when she looked again she realised that the Priestess
53 of Selkhet was also with them.
54 ********
55 The great Pharaoh sat on his throne, hearing nothing within his mind
56 but a song that spoke of utter peace and tranquility. His eyes were
57 closed and he was also in deep thought.
58 "Is that my wife, and is that also a bird singing with her, what is
59 going on here?"
60 As the Pharaoh was thinking, a young man in a priest's outfit that
61 bore the symbol of Anubis walked into the throne room. He was
62 strangely colourless, his hair and even his eyes being eerily white
63 of hue, even at his young age. He walked to the foot of the Pharaoh's
64 throne and bowed.
65 The Pharaoh opened his eyes and saw the high priest of Anubis bowing
66 to him. He sat up stiffly and gave the younger man a look of utter
67 venom.
68 "What do you want, Priest? I did not call for you, so why do you
69 present yourself to me?"
70 The Priest didn't look up, merely stayed in his bowed down position,
71 averting his colourless gaze away from the Pharaoh's darker orbs.
72 "I'm sorry, my Pharaoh, but I need to tell you something," he said,
73 a malicious smirk forming on his face, though his voice was grave in
74 tone so the Pharaoh realised nothing of his true intentions.
75 The Pharaoh was beginning to get agitated now; he could have done
76 without interruption from the Priest. He just looked over at one of
77 his guards and nodded darkly. The guard bowed back to his Pharaoh;
78 then walked over to the priest and kicked hard in the side so that he
79 fell to the floor in a heap. The priest cried out in pain and
80 clutched his side. The guard looked up to his Pharaoh, and saw him
81 nod. He kicked him one more time and walked back to his post.
82 The pharaoh was not happy; the song of trasnquility had stopped. He
83 sat back down on his throne, his expression bitter and steely.
84 "Well, High Priest of Anubis, what do you wish to tell me that is so
85 important that it cannot wait until I summon you into my presence,"
86 he asked, the anger clearly audible in his voice
87 The colourless young man got ahold of himself and answered his
88 pharaoh, trying his best to keep both emotion and pain from his voice
89 as he spoke.
90 "My Pharaoh, it is about you daughter the Princess," he said,
91 knowing that that would get him what he wanted.
92 The Pharaoh eyes widened, and he stared down at this priest that was
93 going to soon be married to his one and only daughter.
94 "What has happened to her? Because if anything has happened to her
95 it will be you life," the Pharaoh hissed in a voice laced with pure
96 malice. He may have never been open to his feeling for his daughter
97 or for his wife for that matter, but deep down he loved them both
98 very much.
99 The priest just smiled; this was just what he had wanted to happen.
100 "Great Pharaoh, your daughter is fine, as is your wife: at least for
101 now. However I had a vision recently that showed that a woman with
102 black hair and strangely violet eyes will will come to take both your
103 daughter and this kingdom from you. I also saw a birdlike fire with
104 her," he told, keeping the laughter in his mind completely separate
105 from his voice.
106 "Well, this should be good, very soon I will be the greatest
107 Pharaoh, and you will be dead along with that wife of yours." His
108 face retained only seriousness, but inside he was laughing.
109 The Pharaoh toke this information in and closed his eyes. "You may
110 go, Priest," he said with a wave of his hand. The Priest bowed and
111 left, back to the temple of Anubis, smiling the whole time. When he
112 was gone the Pharaoh opened his eyes again and looked around his
113 throne room. Something about this Priest was just didn't feel right:
114 he closed his eyes again and fell into his own thoughts.
115 ******
116 In Ra's Temple, three young ladies were looking out the window that
117 the phoenix had flown out of the day before. They looked at one
118 another and nodded, then ran out of the temple and followed the
119 phoenix's course to the Palace. As they ran, Nakia stopped and looked
120 up in the Eye of Ra. Ramla stopped when she saw that Nakia wasn't
121 running with her: instead of continuing, she turned around and saw
122 her friend looking up at something. The sun was hitting her hair in
123 such a way that it made her look as if she were not a mere mortal but
124 a goddess. Ramla's heart was betting very fast now, and couldn't keep
125 her eyes off Nakia…
126 "She's so beautiful: I have never felt like this before; a part of
127 me just wants to run in her arms and never leave them," she thought.
128 Nakia felt the warm of the sun on her face, but she could also feel
129 someone watching her, and it was making her uncomfterble. She turned
130 her head to see Ramla's garnet orbs transfixed on her, then felt a
131 blush creep into her pale cheeks as she noted her friend's almost
132 ethereal beauty in that light. As their eyes met, she saw that the
133 princess was staring at her in longing… no, not longing; the
134 expression in her eyes was too warm for that to have been the case.
135 The emotion she could see in Ramla's eyes was something far deeper
136 thanl longing…
137 "I feel something, something that I have not felt in along time. A
138 part of me wants to hold her, and never let go."
139 The two stood there looking at one another, then Sanura ran up to
140 Palace to see her Queen sitting there: the phoenix resting in her
141 lap. Then she heared it, the song, a joyus melody to which seemed the
142 epitome of bliss itself. She walked closer towards the Palace and saw
143 that not only was the phoenix singing: so was the Queen. She moved to
144 the Queen's side just as her eyes opened and the melodious singing
145 ended. Sanura looked over to where the Queen was staring, and saw
146 what it was that had interested her so. Two beautiful young ladies
147 were staring at eachother in an emotion no less than pure love… two
148 beautiful young ladies that they both knew...
149
150 Ramla and Nakia felt someone looking at them; they turned to see
151 Ramla's mother and Sanura looking at them and smiling at them. Ramla
152 turned back Nakia, smiled and held out her hand to her friend. Nakia
153 felt her heart jump when she saw this: she walked up to her and took
154 her hand in her own. They smiled at each other and walked over to the
155 two women that were waiting for them.
