                Chapter Three Light of Rain

 

 Sanura stood looking down at the two the young ladies, and a small

 smile came to her face. She looked over to the Pharaoh's daughter,

 walked over to her, bent down, and shook her gently to rouse her.

 "Princess, can you hear me? Princess?" 

 Ramla open her eyes a little and saw a young woman about her age

 next to her. She was looking at her and then over her to something

 else. Ramla turned over a little and saw Nakia lying on her side with

 her eyes closed. Ramla's eyes widened in shock and fear.

  Sanura could clearly see the fear in her eyes, so she reached out

 to comfort the girl, but before she could say anything Ramla got up

 very fast and ran over to her friend, who was still unconscious.

 "Nakia! Are you alright? Can you hear me? Please wake up! Nakia? 

 Nakia?" she yelled in panic as she reached out and shook her friend.

 Nakia opened her eyes to see Ramla next to her, her strange red eyes

 overflowing with tears. 

 "Is she crying?" she thought: Ramla's eyes looked so sad, she

 couldn't bear it. "I'm fine, Ramla, so please don't cry" she smiled,

 reaching out and brushing the tears from the other girl's face.

 Sanura just watched the two: she then turned her head to the phoenix

 and saw it doing a little dance: well it looked like a dance to her.

 She started to giggle slightly in amusment at the phoenix's antics.

 

 Ramla and Nakia heard someone giggle, turned there heads to see the

 young woman that woke Ramla giggling at the phoenix: both girl's eyes

 flashed white just as lighting hit the ground somewhere out side.

 Their eyes went back to normal. They looked at one and other and back

 to the bird, and woman.

 Sanura saw the young ladies looking at her and the phoenix. She

 stopped giggling and walked over to them, then bowed down to her

 Princess.

 "Good evening Princess, my name is Priestess Sanura, I am here to

 help you along with Ra's phoenix. I believe that you have meet it

 before," she said, looking up at them.

 Ramla looked into her eyes and could tell that she was friendly. She

 smiled and looked over to her dark haired friend.  She saw that Nakia

 was a little worried about something.

 "Nakia, are you alright?.... you seem a little sad."

 "I'm fine, Ramla, I just trying to take all this in" she sighed as

 she sat down. The Phoenix hopped over to her and sat on her lap. She

 smiled at the bird and started to pet it.

 Sanura got up, walked over to one of the golden bowls and waved her

 hand. In a fraction of a second a fire had come to life. Then she

 went to the others and repeated the process.

 "There, nice and warm," she said walking back over to them.

 "I think it would help, if we have a place for you to stay while

 you're here Nakia. We should also talk to your mother, Princess;

 after all, she cannot become part of your serving or guard without

 your parent's approval, can she?"

 "I believe that is a good idea, Sanura" replied Ramla turning her

 head to the Priestess and then back to Nakia. She saw her dark haired

 friend nod at her and went back to the Phoenix in her lap. 

 Ramla smiled, got up, walked over to her cat, picked it up and

 started to pet it.

 "Well have to wait for the eye of the storm to pass before we can

 walk over to the palace in safety," the Priestess as she stared in

 worry out of the window.

 Ramla walked back over to Nakia and sat next to her.

 "So Nakia, what would you like to talk about? I really don't know

 you; I would love to know you better. If you don't mind, that is…"

 she asked with a little smile. She was little worried that she would

 wanted to talk to her, or stay her with her. She felt that she needs

 her and didn't know why.

 Nakia looked up and saw something in her new friend's eyes that made

 her feel, well, she couldn't really tell what kind of feeling it was,

 but she knew that if she was going to help she was going to know a

 lot of things.

 "What would you like to know Ramla?" Nakia replied with a smile.

 Ramla's heart jumped when she saw that smile; she could die now and

 she wouldn't care, for if she did she was going to die in sheer bliss.

 "Let me see...oh, how old are you?"

 "I'm sixteen, you?"

 "I'm going to be sixteen in three days" she replied in a sad voice.

 Nakia looked at her and could tell there was something wrong with

 this. She looked over to the Priestess and saw she was thinking the

 same thing.

 "Ramla, I have a feeling that you need tell us something. You know

 that we can only help you if we know what is going on." Sanura said,

 walking back over to them with a kind smile on her face, where she

 stopped and sat down across from them.

 Ramla nodded and turned to Nakia who wore the same, calm expression

 as Sanura, but her eyes told her a different story: her eyes were

 dark, distant, broken. Ramla was very worried, and hope that she

 could help. With that she nodded and began to explain the situation. 

 "I have to marry the High Priest of God Anubis on my birthday,"

 Ramla sighed. "My father believes that he is right for me, and will

 rule his kingdom in a fair and just way after my father's death. For

 along time I have been having this feeling that something isn't right

 about him."

 "Your father or the high priest?" asked Nakia

 "The high priest; his eyes tell me he is up to something; they're so

 unnaturally pale… like a substance colder than anything ever to be

 found in this kingdom; colder than the great river on a desert night…

 It's as though he can see right into your thoughts; your emotions:

 your soul to find your deepest secrets and use them to manipulate

 you. 

 "Also there is nothing genuine about him. I have watched how he

 treats those that are lower down the hierarchy than him, and let me

 tell you, I feel sorry for them. He is so unimaginabley cruel to the

 slaves that it makes me sick to think about it… But when he is with

 me, or my mother and father he appears to be the nicest man you could

 ever meet. I knew that he is not the right person for me, or for the

 good of this kingdom. You have to believe me," she told them, hoping

 they would understand.

 Ra's pet jumped up and walk over to her and bow to her. Then walked

 back over to Nakia and lay down in her lap. 

 "Well, it looks like she believes you, Princess, and I knew that I

 feel the same way about him, and so I trust you and believe you,"

 answered Sanura, whoe bowed again and went over to the window. Ramla

 slowly looked over to Nakia. Her eyes were closed and for the first

 time saw the symbol on her forehead: it was Ra's symbol and it was

 glowing.

 "Nakia," she said in a worried voice.

 Nakia opened her eyes and smiled at her. "Princess, I believe you. I

 will help you any way I can, but I still don't know why Ra asks me, a

 peasent girl from another kingdom, of all people," she answers.

 The Phoenix started to sing a bright yet ethereal melody: the power

 coming from its song was making everyone calm: all of them were now

 deep within their own thoughts.

 In Ramla was looking at Nakia, studying her unusual-looking friend

 as strange thoughts began to gnaw their way into her mind.

 "I don't knew why Ra ask you to help me Nakia, but I very glad he

 did…I wonder what her lips feel like…No, what am I thinking; I can't

 think like that. Women cannot love other women; the Gods decreed it

 to be this way… didn't they?"  Ramla's face became very red and she

 turns her head to look out the window hoping that her dark-haired

 friend didn't see her blush.

 Nakia was in deep thought: she was looking at her new friend, and

 was trying to find out why she had been chosen for such a task. So

 many questions had come into her mind that she felt like her head

 might soon burst.

  "Why did she turn to look out the window, and is she blushing too?

 Why do I have this feeling in me, what is it, and why do I feel it's

 what will help her? What can I do to help a princess; goddess I wish

 I had some answers." Nakia's eerie, violet eyes scanned the room and

 then turned back to the princess.

  Sanura was just looking out the window and into the coming storm.

 The strangely cold wind whipped across her face as she sat there deep

 in thought.

 "Goddess, I now see why Ra chose that young woman to help the

 princess, but they need more time, I don't knew what I can to do to

 help them; I fear that they may have her killed if she is with the

 princess. I will try to think of something in the meantime."

 She turned around and looked at the two girls: one was looking out

 the window and the other was watching her. A smile came to her face. 

 "Well, I think we need to make a plan first of all."

  "A plan?"

  "Yes, we have to plan what we're going to tell your mother, Ramla.

 Any ideas?" she asked them.

 They sat there thinking off ideas: after about fifteen minutes they

 looked at one another and sighed.

 "I got nothing, couldn't lie to my mother about anything at all, and

 she would knew if I was lying to her," Ramla said, laughing quietly.

 "Yes, I would do a bad job at lying too; it wouldn't feel right to

 lie to my Queen" replied Sanura with a grin.

 Nakia did say anything, but she knew that lying would not get them

 anywhere, so she just nodded.

 "I have a feeling that your mother will understand if you just tell

 her what is going on," replied Nakia. The phoenix got up, turned,

 nodded at Nakia, and took off out the window.

 "I think someone thinks the same thing," replied Sanura, who was

 looking out the window watching the bird fly to the palace as the eye

 of the storm crept ominously closer into view.
