rlm@2: Chapter Six
rlm@2: Ra's Pet Dragon
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: The Phoenix flew very quickly down the hall, its eyes glowing redder
rlm@2: and get redder as it went. The flames its wings began to increase in
rlm@2: size and flare out on either side of it.  Layla felt something
rlm@2: powerful coming her way, closer and closer with every passing second;
rlm@2: she knew she should have been terrified, but whatever it was couldn't
rlm@2: be worse than the memories she was seeing, could it? The flashes of
rlm@2: her mother stopped and Layla slumped forward, gasping for breath as
rlm@2: though she had been saved from drowning. Anubis' Priest saw a glow
rlm@2: golden flame coming down the hall and narrowed his eyes.
rlm@2: "Well, it looks like time's up" he thought as he tried to walk to
rlm@2: the side door, but found that he couldn't move. The Phoenix dove into
rlm@2: the room, landed behind Layla and put its flaming wings around her to
rlm@2: shield her. Layla felt so safe and warm that she fell asleep, all
rlm@2: worries banished from her mind. The bird didn't take her eyes off the
rlm@2: priest: it so wanted to attack him, but it had to make sure that the
rlm@2: human was alright until other humans came… then he was going to feel
rlm@2: what Hell's fire really was. The Phoenix began once more to sing, but
rlm@2: this time it was a scream of pure rage and hatred, so loud that the
rlm@2: very palace itself began to shake. The Priest fell to the floor with
rlm@2: his hands to his ears so as to somewhat block out the infernal noise. 
rlm@2: "I believe that I have made it mad, will this should be fun," he
rlm@2: smirked, got back on his feet and began to concentrate: quite
rlm@2: suddenly his eyes turned black.
rlm@2: "So Ra sends his only pet to stop me; I'm not scared of you, so
rlm@2: let's play!" he yelled at it and laughed evilly.
rlm@2: The phoenix knew that he was up to something, but couldn't tell
rlm@2: what. She could hear someone enter from the left and then more from
rlm@2: the right. She saw the Great Pharaoh to the left: he was standing
rlm@2: there looking shocked and a little scared as to what was happening.
rlm@2: His eyes showed a different story; it showed power and it had the
rlm@2: eyes of a loving father. She then felt the humans behind her. She
rlm@2: removed her wings and took off towards Anubis' priest with anger. The
rlm@2: priest just saw the pharaoh and the women enter the room. He smirked
rlm@2: has Ra's pet came towards him: he let the firebird hit him and they
rlm@2: both went through the wall and out into the storm. His body rolled
rlm@2: around on the ground like a rag doll. He finally stopped when his
rlm@2: body hit one of the columns near the palace. The rain and wind wasn't
rlm@2: helping much with this, he noted: he slowly got up and looked around
rlm@2: for the damned bird. It was hard to see with this rain coming down
rlm@2: like it was, and the wind was trying to push him around. He finally
rlm@2: saw it and it was coming right at him. He could steam where the rain
rlm@2: had hit the Phoenix's flaming wings.
rlm@2: "Well, it looks like it's going to try to kill me, how quaint; it
rlm@2: will never truly be able to do that, but oh well, it seems that I
rlm@2: must kill it instead. I knew that I can't really kill you, my dear
rlm@2: Phoenix, but we're in darkness and that is my element." He thought as
rlm@2: he moved into the shadow of the columns and made his eyes glow black
rlm@2: again: then he disappeared into the shadows themselves. He moved very
rlm@2: fast in the shadows and got right beside the bird. He just smiled
rlm@2: evilly as a sword appeared in his hand and attacked the Phoenix. 
rlm@2: As the phoenix saw him disappear, she thought about where would he
rlm@2: attack. Then she saw something moving in the shadows. 
rlm@2: It was the High Priest; he was moving throughout the shadows in such
rlm@2: a way that she could have sworn he had become a part of them: still
rlm@2: she didn't have much time to think about that as he attacked. She
rlm@2: moved out of the way just before the sword hit her side. Golden
rlm@2: feathers shot from her left wing at him as she rolled to her side,
rlm@2: then he moved back into the shadow and disappeared.
rlm@2: The priest looked around and saw the feathers that came out of the
rlm@2: bird burst into flames.
rlm@2: "Well I didn't see that one coming, I believe it's time to disappear
rlm@2: for now, I can't win with the weather like this - it slows me down to
rlm@2: much. I will have other chance soon enough," he thought. He stepped
rlm@2: out into the open and saw the young women and the Pharaoh, who was
rlm@2: holding his wife. They were looking out into the rain watching what
rlm@2: had happened between himself and the phoenix.
rlm@2: "Well, it looks like I can take care of one problems before I go" he
rlm@2: thought evilly, then he moved as fast as he could through the rain,
rlm@2: trying to keep from be seen by Ra's little toy.
rlm@2: As the Pharaoh held this wife, his mind went back to what had
rlm@2: happened before all of this.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: (Flashback)
rlm@2: The Pharaoh entered the room to see a fire-like bird shielding
rlm@2: something with its wings then he looked behind the animal and saw
rlm@2: this wife, daughter, and the two young ladies. One looked like she
rlm@2: was a priestess - he could tell by the clothes she was wearing - but
rlm@2: the other woman, the one with black hair, was wearing a tattered
rlm@2: dress that looked very old and worn. As they stopped behind the bird,
rlm@2: it opened it wings to reveal one of its wounds, she looked like she
rlm@2: was in bad shape. The bird had then taken off and attacked the
rlm@2: priest. With the power behind the flying firebird they both went
rlm@2: flying through the wall and out into the rain. The priestess walked
rlm@2: over to the young girl on the floor to see if she was alright. She
rlm@2: picked up her and as they left he saw his daughter holding on to the
rlm@2: other woman with black hair. His wife was just standing there with a
rlm@2: worried look on her face. He walked over to them. 
rlm@2: "I believe, my wife, that you have some things to tell me," he said:
rlm@2: it was not so much a question as a statement.
rlm@2: His wife just nodded and told her everything that she thought was
rlm@2: important. He believed what she told him; why would she lie? He then
rlm@2: looked over to his daughter and smiled at her. He walked over to the
rlm@2: hall with his wife to see what was going on. His daughter and friend
rlm@2: were close by and were still holding one another.
rlm@2: ((End Flashback)
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: The Priest moved up to the Queen and Pharaoh with his sword ready to
rlm@2: attack. The Pharaoh just saw the man run right at him; he knew what
rlm@2: was happening, so he pushed his wife to the side, and took the hit
rlm@2: hard. The sword went through his heart like a knife through butter.
rlm@2: Lightning hit the ground as his body fell, never to get back up
rlm@2: again. The three women just looked on with shock. Neith saw her
rlm@2: husband mouth 'I love you' before he died. She slowly crept over to
rlm@2: him and closed his eyes. She looked over to her one and only daughter
rlm@2: and started to cry. 
rlm@2: Ramla saw her father fall and her mother crying. She looked up to
rlm@2: Nakia and saw a glowing like she never saw before. The feeling coming
rlm@2: from her friend was a deep sadness. She just held her with all the
rlm@2: power that she had. Nakia saw it again and again and knew that no
rlm@2: matter what pain she felt she knew that, for Ramla it must have been
rlm@2: a thousand times worse.
rlm@2: Her thoughts kept flashing back to that what had just happened
rlm@2: before for her and what had happen to her father. It was the same
rlm@2: thing, her mother crying over her husband with her little girl
rlm@2: looking on.
rlm@2: "Ramla, it's happing again, he needs to be stopped now," she told
rlm@2: her with a harder and sadness in her voice. She moved away from her
rlm@2: and started to walk to the priest, who was just grinning. She then
rlm@2: couldn't take it anymore and ran right into him; they both fell over
rlm@2: in the sand, which had by then been permeated with water and had
rlm@2: begun to turn to mud. The priest looked up to what pushed him over,
rlm@2: and saw that it was the black haired girl. He just grinned: he could
rlm@2: get rid of her sooner than he had thought. 
rlm@2: "Well, well, what do we have here? It looks like someone wants die
rlm@2: today," he thought. He got up, grabbed his sword and made another one
rlm@2: appeared in his other hand.
rlm@2: "So you want to play has well? Come on then, my dear," he snarled to
rlm@2: her.
rlm@2: Nakia slow got up, the rain and wind was now at its peak: the eye of
rlm@2: the storm was approaching, that much was obvious. She couldn't stand
rlm@2: straight because of the ferocity of the wind. She then felt someone
rlm@2: holding onto her. She looked to her side and saw Ramla looking up at
rlm@2: her with a smile and nodded. Nakia just nodded back: they both turned
rlm@2: to the priest with their eyes flashing white as his glowed black. 
rlm@2:   The thunder roared on in the background, but through the thunder
rlm@2: you could hear a song. They looked around trying to find out were it
rlm@2: was coming from. Ramla then spotted it: it was the phoenix. She was
rlm@2: on top of a nearby column and her red eyes were glowing with such
rlm@2: power that it started to scare them both. She was going to kill him:
rlm@2: first he killed the pharaoh, and the wanted to kill her human and her
rlm@2: human's lover. She spread her wings high into the air and started to
rlm@2: grow to a monstrous size until she was about as big as a dragon. The
rlm@2: flames coming off her were causing rays of light to break through the
rlm@2: clouds all around them. She cried out into the storm then she took
rlm@2: off and shot two golden feathers at the priest.
rlm@2: He was looking right at the phoenix in shock: he started to shake,
rlm@2: then he saw the two feathers coming right at him, and the gigantic
rlm@2: bird was right behind them. He flinched away in anticipation of the
rlm@2: blow but in never came. The feathers went past him to the two females
rlm@2: that were looking on. The bird flew behind them and landed.
rlm@2: "What is going on, the power coming from them is so great that it
rlm@2: making my head spin," he wondered.
rlm@2:  Ramla and Nakia watched the phoenix grow and shot something at
rlm@2: them. They could feel a power in them and it kept on growing: then
rlm@2: the two feathers stopped right in front of them and the gigantic
rlm@2: firebird land behind them. The two feathers started to change into
rlm@2: two beautiful swords. Both swords had the symbol of Ra on them and a
rlm@2: white flower going spiraling all the way down the polished steel
rlm@2: blades.
rlm@2: Ramla and Nakia closed their eyes and held out heir hands: it was as
rlm@2: if the swords were calling to them. The two swords disappeared from
rlm@2: where they were floating in the air and then reappeared in their
rlm@2: hands. The dragon-like phoenix covered them with its wings. Then a
rlm@2: flash of flames came from within the wings: it was so bright that the
rlm@2: priest had to shield his eyes, as did Neith. Then it died down and
rlm@2: the bird removed its wings: and there stood Ramla and Nakia in
rlm@2: Egyptian princess dresses with the symbol of Ra on their foreheads
rlm@2: and their eyes glowing eerily white.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: A/N- I hope everyone like this chapter, the next chapter will be
rlm@2: about Ramla and Nakia as they take on the high Priest of Anubis. Oh
rlm@2: and if you have time could you review? I would really appreciate it.
rlm@2: Thanks-Black Rose
