1. Beginning

In the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, in the year 1290 B.C, Seti I rules as pharaoh. Residing in Thebes is also the High Priest of Osiris, Imhotep, who acts as advisor, counsel and friend to Seti. There also lives Suhra Imhotep's younger sister and royal healer. Imhotep is very protective of his sister and makes sure no man ever touches her. And with everybody knowing Imhotep's protectiveness toward Suhra no man ever dares to approach her out of fear of her brother's powers.

But without his knowing Suhra has secretly started a romantic crush on one of the Pharaoh's secret bodyguards, Ardeth. Unknown to her is that Ardeth secretly returns those feelings. But neither one of them is brave enough to approach one another. So things continue as always. Suhra does her royal work and secretly admires Ardeth by far. And Ardeth tries to see her as often as he can but Suhra being used to hide from him, Ardeth rarely sees her even if she watches him almost every day.

Suhra's POV

One day I decided to go visit my brother since we both have been pretty busy lately and haven't seen each other. When I knock on the door no one answers I try and knock again and when I still get no answer I open the door and step in my brothers premises. I then see a mountain of scrolls rolling on floor. I pick few up and put them on the already over full table and look for my brother.

I find him sleeping on the table his head on one of the scrolls. Apparently he has been studying them late last night and fell asleep while studying. I walk between the scrolls to him. When I get to him I gently put my hand on his shoulder to wake him up.

''Imhotep wake up,'' I say in a gentle voice. Imhotep slowly opens his eyes and when he sees me he wakes up completely and craps my shoulders and starts talking in a panicked voice,

''Suhra are you alright? No one has hurt you?'' He asks.

''No. What gave you that idea?'' I answer.

''I just saw a terrible dream. I was watching from above somewhere and I saw you lying on the ground and apparently you were dead since there was a huge amount of blood everywhere,'' he explains. I look at him and put my hand on his hand and say,

''It was only a dream. I'm fine.''

''I hope so,'' he says no louder than a whisper. The he looks up out of the window and sees that sun is already up. He quickly gathers some of his scrolls and runs out of the room.

''I has to meet up with the pharaoh. I'll see you later,'' he shouts after him. Well I guess so. I start walking towards my own rooms.

Ardeth's POV

''Come on Ardeth you can do better that that,'' Akio yells at me as we practice sword play in the middle of training grounds. I make a mistake and look up and I see her. Suhra. I've never talked to her but still I have fallen in love with her.

I then feel pain in my thigh. I look down and see a clash from the sword. It bleeds a little but the pain is large.

''Stop,'' our leader Tuka yells, ''winner is Akio.''

I sit down and try to stop the bleeding.

''Ardeth go see the healer. We cannot have you training if that gets infected,'' Tuka says. Wait what. The healer. But Isn't Suhra the healer? Tuka helps me up and pushes me towards the palace.

''And don't come back without proper healing. I won't hear any of that your 'I feel fine, I don't need any help' stuff. Got it?'' Tuka yells at me as I walk towards the palace.

I reach the healer's doors but I'm too nervous to knock. I eventually knock and hear the most beautiful voice ever,

''Come in. It's open,'' I open the door and see her walking around the room. She picks up one bowl and then turns around. When she sees me she drops the bowl and it smashes to pieces.

''Oh, I'm so sorry if I startled you,'' I say to her.

''No no. Its fine,'' she explains as she starts to pick up the pieces. I bend down to help her but the cut makes me gasp.

''Oh no. What happened?'' She says as she sees my cut.

''Sword fighting,'' I say to her. She gets up and pulls me up with her. I feel tinkling on my hand as she pulls me up. She makes me sit to the chair. She then picks up the broken bowl and puts the shards to the table.

She then takes out some bottle and a cloth. She moist the cloth in the bottle and starts cleaning the cut. When the cut is clean she wraps a clean cloth around it.

''There. Remember to keep the cut clean and no training at least in the next three days,'' she says. I can't help but to look at her. She's so beautiful. She has long wavy brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. No wonder her brother is so protective of her. I decide to win my shyness and ask her out.

''Um…would you like to…um…go for a walk with me?'' I ask her. I finally actually asked her. She looks at me like I just grew another head or something.

''Are you asking me…out?'' She asks.

''Well, yes,'' I admit. She shyly smiles at me.

''Pick me up after dark,'' she says. I then get up from the chair and walk out of her room. I asked her out. And she said yes. This is probably my lucky day.

Suhra's POV

He asked me out. And I agreed. Is that why I felt so good this morning. Was all my loneliness leading me to this day? To this perfect day? To this lucky day? I ran towards the royal stables to meet the horses. My only friends in the entire palace.

''Today will be my lucky day, my lucky day I know.

My instincts and my heart and my head tell me so.

I don't know why I feel this way I don't know why I should.

But ever since I woke today I felt good.

Today will be my lucky day, knock on wood.''

I sang as I knock the stable door. I went inside and saw all the horses eating their morning hays.

''Today will be my lucky day, I'm sure you all agree.

If you could speak I know you'd say; 'how lucky can she be?'

My heart is all a flutter, my poor head is in the sky.

I know just how a butterfly feels to fly.

A kiddy and exciting feeling, my oh my.''

I took some bread from the sack next to me and gave some to the horses.

''Yesterday I felt so lonely; all day long I was so blue.

Yesterday my only friends were you.

Last night I wished upon a star, let all my dreams come true.

And I believe it worked so far, I really truly do.

But just for extra measure, just in case my star should fall.

I'll get out my special treasure, my lucky golden ring.''

I take out my golden ring that was the only thing I had from my late mother. It was beautiful. It had small golden flower in the middle and some leafs. I put it on my middle finger. It fit perfectly.

''My lucky golden ring should help me most of all.

On my lucky, lucky, lucky day.

It's my lucky, lucky, lucky day.''

The song was from the movie ''Cannon movie tales: The frog prince''
