The city was very 1.11 +lively after the rain had come: the market was full of people and you 1.12 +could see fishing bouts out on the great river. Sanura was staring 1.13 +out of her bedroom window, smiling at the people below her. 1.14 +"Why do I get this feeling that he's not coming back for a long 1.15 +time?" she asked herself, somewhat relieved that the Priest was 1.16 +finally gone. 1.17 +The door to her room opened: she turned and saw Layla caring a try 1.18 +of food. Layla put the food on the table next to the bed then turned 1.19 +and wait for orders. The Priestess just smiled at her in return. 1.20 +"Layla, why don't you sit down? I'm not going to give you any orders." 1.21 +Layla bowed and sat on a chair next to the door then waited for 1.22 +something to do for the Priestess. Sanura walked over to her desk, 1.23 +sat down and started to write on some scrolls. Ra's Phoenix flew in 1.24 +through the window and landed on Layla's lap. 1.25 +"Well hello there," replied Layla as she smiled at the animal that 1.26 +saved her life. 1.27 +The three set in peaceful silence. You could hear the people talking 1.28 +out side. 1.29 +After a while the phoenix looked up at Layla. 1.30 +"Why don't you tell her how you feel?" the phoenix mentally asked her. 1.31 +Layla looked down at the bird and smiled a little,"I don't think 1.32 +that's a good idea; she's a Priestess and I'm just a low class 1.33 +worker." 1.34 +"I have a feeling that it won't matter to her; I believe she feels 1.35 +that same." 1.36 +Layla looked up at Sanura and then back to the bird in her lap. 1.37 +"Maybe, butr right now I'm happy to be with her this way." 1.38 +The firebird just nodded its head and looked over to the Priestess. 1.39 +Sanura felt that someone was watching her: she turned her head a 1.40 +little to see Layla looking at her and Ra's pet sitting on her lap. 1.41 +Her heart was betting very fast when she looked into Layla's eyes. 1.42 +Layla saw that the Priestess was looking at her and a blush rose in 1.43 +her cheeks. 1.44 +"Do you need something, Priestess Sanura?" she asked, hoping that 1.45 +she could do something for her. 1.46 +The Priestess smiled and thought about it but nothing came to mind. 1.47 +She put down what she was writing then got up and walked over to 1.48 +Layla. 1.49 +"Layla, could I ask you why you're by my side?" she asked kindly as 1.50 +she sat down on the bed facing her. 1.51 +Layla didn't know what to make of this; part of her was scared, but 1.52 +the other part of her always wanted to be with the Priestess. Tears 1.53 +began to fill her eyes and her face contorted into a mask of pain. 1.54 +"I'm sorry Priestess, I just… I just…" she couldn't keep from crying. 1.55 +Sanura turned to her, a sad yet understanding smile on her face. 1.56 +The next thing they knew, a beautiful song had filled the air. The 1.57 +women looked down and saw Ra's pet on the floor singing to them. The 1.58 +Phoenix wonderous song made the whole kingdom feel at peace. The 1.59 +people in the market stopped what they were doing and instead began 1.60 +to look for where the song was coming from. The birdsong was silenced 1.61 +as quickly and mysteriously as it had begun. In the Priestess' room 1.62 +two young ladies were looking at one and other. Their eyes were 1.63 +looking deep into each other's, and neither one of them knew what to 1.64 +do: one part of them wanted to run to each other arms and never 1.65 +leave… but then there was the other part, the part that was scared of 1.66 +being faced with rejection. 1.67 +As the two stared at one another, the firebird just kept looking 1.68 +back and forth: it couldn't take it anyone. The next thing the two 1.69 +women heard in their minds was laugher. They looked down at the bird 1.70 +and saw it on the floor, laughing in amusment at something that 1.71 +seemed to have escaped them both. 1.72 +"What are you laughing about?" Sanura asked. 1.73 +The Phoenix got back on its feet, flew onto the bed with them and 1.74 +then spoke. 1.75 +"Humans are so amusing, especially when two of them have feelings 1.76 +for each other, and neither has any idea what to do about" 1.77 +"What?" both women spoke at the same time, shocked by the Phoenix's 1.78 +revealtion. 1.79 +They looked at one another, started to blush and turned away from 1.80 +each other. Ra's pet phoenix laughed and flew out of the window in 1.81 +order to find her human and her human's lover. 1.82 +After a while, the Phoenix heard its master calling: it began to fly 1.83 +to Ra's Temple, taking a shortcut through Sanura's room, where the 1.84 +two women were still not looking at one another. Finally Layla looked 1.85 +over to the other girl and saw that she was looking out of the 1.86 +window. Layla got up then walked over and sat down next to the 1.87 +Priestess, who turned and looked at her. 1.88 +Sanura was in deep thought when she felt something on the bed with 1.89 +her. She turned her head and saw the very person she had been 1.90 +thinking about. She smiled at Layla, who smiled back in return. 1.91 +Layla was about to say something, but Sanura never give her a chance 1.92 +to, as she quickly kissed her. Layla was very shocked, never having 1.93 +expected that to really happen, but the shock soon wore off and she 1.94 +kissed the Priestess back. 1.95 +* 1.96 + The Phoenix fleq into the temple and landed on the floor next the 1.97 +eye of Ra. The eye started to glow and with a giant flash of light 1.98 +the firebird disappears. Ra was sitting on his throne with his wife 1.99 +next to him. Then a white flash of light appeared and his pet flew 1.100 +into the room and then landed on his shoulder. 1.101 +"You need to speak to me, my lord?" the Phoenix asked. 1.102 +"Thank you for coming; I know that you wanted to be with your human, 1.103 +but I have information about the Priest." 1.104 +His pet just nodded to show that she understood what he was saying. 1.105 +"It seems that he used a dark spell to put his soul into a black 1.106 +crystal, and sent it somewhere out of my land." 1.107 +"What about Anubis, doesn't he know were it is?" asked his pet. 1.108 +"It would seem that Anubis knew what he was doing, but he will not 1.109 +give any information," Ra's wife sighed. 1.110 +The Phoenix just turns its head to her and bows. 1.111 +"So what do we do? If it was a spell and his soul is in a crystal 1.112 +it's only a matter of time before he comes back to life." 1.113 +"That may be true true, but I have a plan," Ra looked at his pet and 1.114 +his wife and smiled. 1.115 +"To make sure that the people of the time have the power to stop 1.116 +him, we will be sending you and those two swords." 1.117 +Selkhet thought this through and looked back at her husband. 1.118 + "I think it would be a good idea if we left a little bit of your 1.119 +soul behind to help as well," she spoke up. 1.120 +"What do you have in mind, my dear?" Ra asked. 1.121 +"Well, I get this feeling that these girls have had more than one 1.122 +life together: if that's true then I would say that if we left some 1.123 +information down on earth them it could help them." 1.124 +Ra thought about it and then it came to him. 1.125 + "How about this? We leave a little bit of ourselves in a animal and 1.126 +that animal would watch over the person." 1.127 +"That's a great idea," replied his wife. 1.128 +"What do you think, my pet?" Ra asked the phoenix. 1.129 +"That will work: I will be off now and get those swords," she told 1.130 +them and with a flash of light she was gone 1.131 + Ra and Selkhet looked at one and other and smiled, then began to 1.132 +think about what animal they would use. 1.133 +* 1.134 +Back on Earth, Ramla was looking around for Nakia. After a while she 1.135 +found standing on one of the many balconies that overlooked the 1.136 +kingdom. 1.137 +"So this is where you have been hiding?" she laughed slightly as she 1.138 +spoke to her newfound lover. 1.139 +Nakia turned her head a little to see her princess looking at her 1.140 +with a loving smile. She was wearing one of her princess dress with a 1.141 +small crown with the symbols of Ra on it. 1.142 +She turned to the princess and bowed. 1.143 +" And why have you been looking for me, princess?" she asked, a hint 1.144 +of playfulness in her voice. 1.145 + Ramla giggled, "Well I woke up from my nap and couldn't find you, 1.146 +when I could have sworn that you were sleeping with me." 1.147 +Nakia blushed when she caught the double meaning in the princess' 1.148 +words. 1.149 +Ramla walked over to Nakia and kissed her. The kiss lasted a while, 1.150 +and when they broke apart the saw a beautiful bird fly up to them. 1.151 +They knew who it was- Ra's pet Phoenix. 1.152 +The firebird landed on the railing and bowed to her human and her 1.153 +human's lover. She then told them what their plan is now that they 1.154 +must deal once again with the priest. The two smiled and nodded. They 1.155 +then summoned their swords and handed them over to the bird. She 1.156 +thanked them and flew off into the sun. Nakia and Ramla smiled at one 1.157 +another and walked back into the Palace, thankful for this peace, 1.158 +even if it was destined only to last a short time. 1.159 + 1.160 +A/N-Well I finally got this story done, yay! I hope everyone liked 1.161 +it. I left it like that because I have idea for a new story that goes 1.162 +along with my Dark Rainbow Crystal story. I hope you liked the ending 1.163 +to this. Thanks again to all that read and reviewed this story. If 1.164 +you have time could you review this chapter? I'd really like to know 1.165 +what you think.
