The Arrival


There was a brief flash of teal-gray smoke. The Charming family was inside Granny's Diner when they saw the smoke, and then my guards holding me on the royal Egyptian carrier.

"Grams, what is that?" Henry asked his grandmother.

"I don't know Henry," Snow replied. She then turned to Charming and asked him, "Charming, what is …."

That was all she got out before they heard a noise.

Then they heard, "Announcing the arrival of Cleopatra Selene II Queen and Pharaoh of Egypt, also known as Cleopatra VIII the Philophator of Egypt."

Then I, the beautiful looking woman that I am, stepped down from my carrier, and spoke to my men in my native language. For the benefit of the people I was now in front of, I repeated myself again, this time, in their native "English" tongue, "Thank you Guards, you must now leave us at once!"

When someone stepped forward, towards me, my jackal-headed guards stepped in front of me to protect me.

I then said, "Guards, step down at once, they meant me no harm. They were simply trying to meet me and get a better look at me."

To which, they replied, "Sorry Pharaoh." Then, they bowed down in front of me, awaiting their punishment.

The on-lookers watched, curious as to what this mysterious woman might do to punish them. What they heard next shocked them.

I said to my guards, "Guards, relax, all is forgiven …. Please take by carrier somewhere safe, where it will not be disturbed."

They then replied, "As you wish, our Pharaoh."

The leaders of the on-lookers, looked at me, and they looked stunned. When I looked up, and saw them looking at me, I too was speechless, and stunned.

I thought, "No way …. This can't be … Both of my parents committed suicide when they were trying to save our kingdom."
