Hello, everyone :D I know, I know, another story, but this one is a request from soumik1990, and so I've decided to go ahead and give this a try. I'll be honest - I've never done something like this before. However, I will try my best to do something that is almost completely devoid of OCs, so I hope you all enjoy this story :)
I do not own Prince of Persia, nor do I own anything that is attributed to the series - all of this belongs to the correct people as is seen on the cases, official website, and the like.
Loving Sands
Chapter 1
Where to Begin?
It wasn't often that the sea was calm. Whenever he was out on the waters, the great blue beast was raging and screaming and thrashing his boat about, protesting to something as insignificant as them on the sea. Then again, it might have something to do with the Priestess of the Sands, Kaileena, also on the boat.
The Prince shuddered, his thumb rubbing soothing circles on the Dagger of Time. It's glow was nearly none-existent, giving no clue of any danger that could be ahead of his little boat. The Prince shuddered again, but this time for a completely different reason.
He looked back to where Kaileena was standing. Brown eyes met green. The Prince quickly turned away, scornfully willing a deep blush to stay down and away from his face.
He did not need to give the woman a weakness to work with, but she was tied up.
'But I don't know how much power she still wields...' His thoughts whispered traitorously to him. The Prince's scowl grew murderous as he tried to reign himself in. Now was not the time to think of women...
His heart thumped against his chest, reminding him of the war that it seemed to be involved in. His heart called for two women, both tall and tan with dark hair. One was an Indian Princess, clever with a bow and quick with her sharp tongue. The other was a Priestess and part of the reason why he was doing what he was doing now.
He didn't know how to feel about that, not really.
The Prince then felt eyes roving over his form. He only glanced back to see Kaileena giving him such a strange look that he had to turn back around.
There was no need to further incur her wrath. That would only make things go to shit for him.
A groan escaped his lips and he slumped down onto an uncomfortable wooden seat that he was now all too familiar with. The Prince did not know how long it would take him to get home, but he hoped it would be soon. His heart and soul were weary with the journey against sand creatures and the Dahaka and just the journey itself was a mind twist within itself.
Kaileena couldn't say what drew her to the Prince other than he had messed with Sands of Time unnecessarily. It might be that he was a lone male, fighting and seeking her out to right his wrong. Not like he could do it any other way, but still.
Bright green eyes roved his form, appreciating his body. The Prince was muscular, but lean, almost like one of many entertainers that would grace a royal court. He was golden, making his black hair and bright clothing stand out among the darkness.
However, the Priestess sensed something about him, something that both intrigued her and made her cautious. She could feel the sands calling for their Priestess, but she only shushed them, calming them and promising that she will fix everything soon.
It was her job after all. One she enjoyed very much, but...
The dark thoughts whirled away as her green eyes caught his own cautious brown ones.
Oh, she will make him squirm on this journey.
Her smile faded at the thought of when the journey would end. A very quiet exhale of air left her.
She only had so much time left, after all.
So... Yeah, made a new story xD I'm actually intrigued about how this would all go. I had trouble starting it, but once I thought of how it was going to end, I didn't have much of a problem there after :) Now, this story will consist mostly of the journey between the Island and the Prince's Home.
Hopefully, it won't be that short, but I have a feeling it will be.
Tell me what you think please! If you have any suggestions of how I can make the characters interact or how to progress the story, please tell me :)
