Chapter 1
Evening had fallen and darkness had now stretched its hand over the Egyptian lands. This night was among the most soothing of nights. A cool breeze swayed across the streets, warm yet with a touch of cold causing funny sensations to the skin. On a shinning balcony stood a figure with elbows rested on the rims and hand arched upon cheek. In mind the figure wondered about the many others who also occupied the land, about the lives and about all that was outside. In a sudden moment realizations came to mind about wanted to discover all that was around.
"Father, I wish to take a trip around the city," said the figure that had abandoned the exteriors of the house to speak with her father.
"NO!!!" was the stern and strict answer which she received.
"No???" But father, I want to see, to learn. I can't just for the rest of my life."
"My dear girl," chuckled the father, "where did this sudden wish to go around the city come from? You have never really cared about the world of the exterior."
"I…I don't know. It is just that I have all of a sudden wanted to know about the many other people that inhabit this land and I don't just want to know about them I also want to meet them and she what it is that they do," said she trying to give her father an explanation.
" But you meet people all the time."
"That is not what I mean. Yes, I do and have met many people, but usually they are the servants and your friends. I want to see the people outside the palace. What they look like? How they speak? What they do?" was the passionate answer, which arose from her lips. Not having been outside the place made her think of the outside world made her think of it as a far away land very far from hers.
"They are peasants, they work and speak as the servants do. There is nothing special about the world outside the palace. Just forget that nonsense and focus on your training and your studies."
"But"
"No buts," said her father but seeing the saddened look that she gained from his negativity caused his heart to be softened and: "alright, we'll make a deal. I shall take you to the city on one condition which is that you have to behave while I am away and by that I mean no more pranks on the help."
Without thinking it over she accepted the deal.
"Father, when shall we go?"
"It must be upon my return"
"And when shall that be?"
"I am not sure, but I am hoping to have returned in a months time."
"A month???? I can't wait that long," said she in a whiny voice.
"Nefertiri, you promised," said Seti.
"Fine!!" said she in hopes that her father would not change his mind about taking her to the city upon his return.
The first week had passed since Seti's departure. Things in the palace were normal, too normal thought Nefertiri who thrived on adventure and who was eager to embark in one herself. She lingered upon the palace playing small tricks on the servants and the med-jais and though she was now 17, she still loved the reactions from them. Yet, now none of these tricks or troubles that she had caused was of any fun to her. Most of her time, except for that spent studying and training, was spent on her balcony wondering about "them".
One night as she stood on the balcony with the same thoughts and form as before, she decided that she could not wait. Making mental plans of her escape she hurriedly gathered a couple of things and made her way to the servants' dormitories. From there, she planned on taking some of their garments in order to go unnoticed in their world. After being successful at that, she now needed a way out. With the med-jais camped all over the palace she would need to be careful and her escape would be quiet difficult. Her only way would be to dress now as a servant and to try to leave through their entrance/exit.
As she was making her way out, a familiar med-jai named Alizoth came to her. At his approach her heart froze and as he began to speak, her heart too spoke of her fear through its thumping acceleration. To her luck it had been night, which helped cast aside the blush that his presence had brought to her face.
"So where are you off to tonight?" asked he.
"Oh, I am going to visit my family. I will be staying there for a week. I have been granted permission by Zonja,"abruptly answered she in a disguised manner.
"I see that the mice like to scatter while the cat is away from home," said he jokingly.
"I do not know what you mean by that, but if you would, I have to be n my way now. Seeing as it is already late and I am expected," said she now angered and a feared.
"Just trying to make conversation"
Hurriedly, she walked away form his presence. As he looked into the empty space left by her, an uncertainty entered in his heart and mind. Having worked at the palace for 2 years now had given him enough knowledge of everyone who worked there. He had not heard that they had hired any new help. Oh, well his inquiries about this new girl would have to wait until morn for he now was off duty and on his way home.
As she left Alizoth, her heart raced faster than when she was in his presence. She thought of what would happen if she had been found, they would surely inform her father of her escape. For all the mischief she had ever caused, this was surely the biggest of them all. She had promised him to be good while he was away, well it was already done and now all she had was either to continue with the journey or to return home which was the last thing she would do, especially now that her adventure had began. As her heart and footsteps pace slowed down, she found herself with nowhere to go.
"Great! The big escape was beautifully done, but you forgot to think of a place to go. Great, this is just absolutely brilliant. Now where the hell are you to go. Help me o great Amun."
A new fear strode itself into her heart; full of uncertainty about the streets she made her way to what she thought was a safe spot. A spot, which blocked the harsh winds of the night. She placed her things to the side and covered herself with some blankets that she had grabbed form the servants' quarters.
"Seeing you like this, who would ever think that you are a princess," she said this as sleep was beginning to grab a hold of her.
With the rise of the morning, also arose the loud voices of the street merchants. Within a few hours the streets had gone from being completely uninhabited to being entirely habited by people and their belongings. Nefertiri was soon awakened by the loud noises that now surrounded her. Rapidly, she gathered her things and stood up from where she had uncomfortably slept. Her back ached as she made her way down the streets. Seeing all that had formed in her surroundings mesmerized her. She stared at everything in awe. Though she lived so close, she had never experienced the city with such proximity. She saw the passion with which men yelled at each other in order to sell their merchandise. She saw the children playing on the streets or helping their fathers with their work. She also saw the women helping their husbands or chattering among each other. Everything about this gave her a sense of being, of wanting to belong, but for now all she could do was observe.
Morning soon turned to noon, and she now began to tire of walking, and also feel her stomach rumbling ordering to be fed. With the blistering sun and with having walked all morning she felt herself as in a maze with no way to the end. Fruits now came in sight, sweet tasting fruits that made her mind wonder no more and her mouth salivates at the thought of those sweet tastes. Without being watched, or so she thought, she closed in on the fruits and grabbed a couple in her hands, but just as she was putting one to her lips a strong hand grabbed her wrist.
"I do not think so, you fruit thief."
