Vampire Lore
Chapter 1 Unwanted Reunion
A young woman breathed a sigh of relief when the palace, made of white stone and gold, gleamed ahead. "We're almost there." a young woman wearing a white and gold dress and headdress told her. The woman smiled. Just days before, she had fled from her own neighboring kingdom and her husband of 7 months. He had seemed so kind and showered her with affection and gifts after their arrangement. But after the wedding...the woman rubbed her belly. She had heard this Pharaoh was kind and would gladly accept her and her young due to the circumstance. She had stumbled upon the woman, Isis, in this city's square. She wasn't sure why but the woman had observed her begging for water and food, then approached her.
Isis took the expectant mother to the throne room doors and asked her to wait outside as she went in to ask the Pharaoh and his Queen for an audience. The minutes seemed like hours but at last, Isis returned and told her she was eagerly awaited. The woman followed. The room was huge. The floor was like a mirror with a red carpet down the middle. Musicians played harps and flutes or beat drums while beautiful men and women danced with fans, ribbons, or just on their own. Mai saw the little princess first. A beautiful little girl with teal hair. Mai noticed she had just one eye. The result of a foolish rebellion. Despite this, she seemed happy as she clapped and danced to the music herself. Next, her heart froze seeing the Pharaoh. She breathed again when she saw it was not the monster who had caused her trouble and called her ugly cruel names. He was deeply tanned and had muscle compared to the pale, lanky…"This is her?" a voice boomed. Everything halted. Mai then saw the Queen, and this time, she was ice cold. Glaring down from his throne, the man was feminine yet also masculine. He wore a cream tunic that came to above the knees. His arms, neck, wrists, and ankles decorated in gold while his feet encased in slippers. His crown matched his husband's though his shined with rubies rather than sapphires. "Remove your head scarf." the queen ordered. Mai gulped. The boy she had once been cruel to...was her only hope. She revealed her beautiful face and her blonde hair tumbled down like a waterfall making many men and a few women swoon. The Queen was not impressed however. He never was. His red eyes glanced down to her belly and turned soft and purple. He turned to Isis. "She carries a Halfling." Isis assured. Mai knew even carrying a baby was keeping her alive.
The Queen glanced back down at Mai eyes a swirling red and purple raising to his full height a couple inches shorter than the woman he was looking at walking with the grace of a cat down to the woman. he held his head high glaring at her the entire way down knowing the child would come early having already seen the signs "Isis take he to the birthing chambers she is not to leave that room at all until the child is one month old we will find a place for her kind when she is ready." The Queen ordered sternly sneering at Mai with pure hate his arms crossed over his body protective way.
Isis bowed. Her mate, Ishizu, helped her. Atem joined his queen. "So..." he purred. "She is the woman you told me of. How the mighty have fallen." he kissed his queen's hand. Yami smirked. Mai was given a comfortable room but no herbs to soothe her pain. One night, she woke from a troubled sleep to see the queen himself by her bedside. But it was not a kind gesture meant to offer comfort. The queen was weaving a dress for his little daughter. "Thank you...for your hospitality." Mai groaned.
"it is not me you should thank but your own actions that have lead you here away from your home and into mine if you had not the child I would have had the same things you had done to me on your own pathetic mortal body. I may no longer be human but I still bear the scars you have given me both mental and physical but be warned should you cross me or any of the rules you will regret meeting me for the rest of your soul's life in limbo." the Queen promised vanishing in a swirl of wind and darkness dress and all leaving the soon to be mother screaming in pain when something wet broke.
