Chapter 1
Vexin, a rambling boy staggered along the dark hallway. He was weary of the long journey. A young girl was on her way to training. Vexin disappeared into the shadows so he wouldn't be noticed. The Young girl was no longer a child but a young woman. She was tall, long beautiful white hair with golden highlights in the front. Her skin was tanned brown yet she had a white glow to it. Green eyes sparkled like the beauty in the gems that was on her crown. Training was her task for the day. She rode to her destination on a white stallion, a palomino named Cretin. A special Horse but nobody knew of this. To a halt she came and made her way to the chamber entrance. Since she was 19 years old she knew what was coming but to her surprise nothing came.
Girl: That is really strange.
Cretin: You should advance more carefully.
Girl: Cretin, You know of me already.
The young girl took off her sandals and hopped along the side of the ledge to the entrance. She crept down the long corridor and made each step careful than the last. At the end of the hallway was a Golden Door. She opened and squinted. A Young Man stood before her. He lashed out and attacked her with one swipe but halted and tipped her in the chest. The Young girl toppled over but the Young man caught her before she fell.
Girl: Zarik. How many times have I told you!
Zarik: Ha-ha I knew it! Xerika Can't handle it!
Xerika: Zarik, I will give you can't handle it.
Silver sparks flew from her finger tips and she flew up as if air had pushed her upwards. Her eyes went a bright red.
Zarik: Ok, Ok leave me down now!
Xerika: Not till you say sorry!
Zarik: NO!
Zarik was hanging upside down while being tickled. His resistance bears till Xerika's master appeared behind her and caught her off guard.
???? : How many times have I told you! Magic is not for torturing.
Cretin had transformed back into a young handsome boy, he had long silver hair tied back in a braid, he was tall yet slender, blue tunic yet it remained white like Royal silk, sandals appeared upon his feet and royal jewels bore around his waist, arm and head. The Man who was Xerika's master and guide stood before her. He had long black hair which was hidden under a hood. He was nearly covered from head to toe in fine silk clothing and gold jewelry was visible on him.
Xerika: Master!
Zarik: Master Mahado will get you good for this!
Master Mahado: That is Master to you, Xerika, you are late yet again. What have you been doing? You were supposed to arrive here an hour ago. Your father is going to be mad.
Xerika: I am here now am I so why not start training now.
Master Mahado: Let the trials commence.
Xerika: The usual Master.
Master Mahado: No, We are going to begin more advance magic as requested of your father before his death.
Xerika: What?!
Zarik…
Xerika: M…M…M…f…f…father is DEAD!
Master Mahado: I'm Sorry Princess but right after your departure the Palace was ambushed. Apparently there was a spy amongst us. You are now the heir to the throne but must master your powers.
Zarik: Y…You knew of this.
Master Mahado: Isis spoke of this a short time ago. Xerika you need to combine your powers so you can summon the beasts of Egypt.
Xerika: I….I….I can't believe this. After father sacrificed all he had to save me and now this. How can I be so foolish?
Master Mahado: Princess we have training to continue with.
Will Xerika ever get over her fears and continue her training? What connection is Zarik to Xerika? Why does she need to train? Who are the beasts?
To be continued…..
