Two to remember

Chapter one

Princess Tamina waited for the princes to enter her praying room, she remembered when she did this the first time, and she couldn't wait to insult them as much as she could, she could remember how when the first time that it happened, she thought they were insufferable, greedy, good for nothing but power hungry Princes. But she knew that time had changed things, yes time and more specifically the dagger. Now she knew what really had come to pass, and the treachery that the Prince's' uncle had caused, all in the name of power and greed. Sitting on her throne like chair now, she couldn't wait to see what would happen when the three Princes' entered the room, she couldn't wait to see Prince Dastan again, her Prince Dastan. The look of anguish pain, and loss he had on his face when she forcefully loosened the grip and hold of his hand so she would die just so that Dastan could save the world, and maybe even them. What she didn't expect to happen, was for her to remember what had come to pass in the other life and for her to be able to somehow see Dastan. However, she was under no illusions that they would be able to be together, as in the other life, Prince Tus had asked for her hand in marriage, and she had no doubt that he would do the same now, it seemed that she would have to bare the loss of not being able to be with Dastan once again. She had told him before the end that she had wished that they could have been together and she still felt the same way, it was with sadness however that she accepted that it would probably never happen.

When she had died in the other life time, the Gods had told her that she was going to be sent back, but only when Dastan had completed his destiny in saving everything, in saving the world and that when she went back and he had pressed the jewel at the top of the dagger, she would still remember all that had happened between them, all that they had accomplished. They had also told her that, it was never her destiny to save the world with the dagger, and that it was always Prince Dastan's destiny and she had a major part of the whole destiny. Furthermore, they had told her that there was a further destiny for them to accomplish to find a way to reunite together and get the dagger to a sacred mountain where an elderly had been chosen to give her life in that of destroying the dagger. She had been chosen, and had also chosen to do so as it was her wish to part with the world that she felt she no longer knew. It was the Gods' gift and reward to Princess Tamina after her long and loyal service of protecting the dagger, for her to be reunited with Prince Dastan and for them to be able to be together with no burden of protecting the dagger... Well not until they had got it destroyed.

Even if that was the supposed destiny, Princess Tamina did not understand how she and Prince Dastan would be reunited, she knew that Prince Tus will be proposing to her, and that she had no choice but to accept. She was slowly coming to accept that maybe she and Prince Dastan were not supposed to be together and she was devising a plan that she would not let Prince Dastan find out that she also knew every that had transpired between them. If only it was that easy. If only, if only...

She can't help but think of the way Dastan had screamed her name in pain and agony when she was falling into the abyss. The sound of horror, pain and loss, the sound of a man's heart breaking further and further. She knew in that instance that they had a connection and that she wasn't the only one who wishes that they could have been together. The feel of his soft lips against her's was intoxicating and exhilarating, it wasn't forceful or rough like all the stories she had heard from the wives of Alamut, it was the best feeling she had ever had.

No STOP! She knew she couldn't think about that anymore, not if she had to get married to Prince Tus. She couldn't put herself through the torment of thinking and knowing that the one she truly wanted was the one she couldn't be with. So with that Tamina knew that she would not reveal anything about remembering the other life to Dastan, she was going to act like nothing ever happened between them, as if she didn't know him at all.

Just after having that though she heard the loud footsteps of the Princes and guard and though the double doors came the unmistakeable Prince Tus with his two brothers and the rest of the guard and crowd following behind.

"Princess Tamina, I assure you we thought that your city had betrayed us by selling weapons to our enemies, but now we know we were mistaken, please accept our heartfelt and sincerest apologies"

"Prince Tus, I know that what done is done, and your uncles treachery has grieved your family, but one of the big causes was that now my city and its people are not safe, we do not have the number of guards are strong defences that we once had. But be rest assured that we do accept your heartfelt apologies..."

And here comes the proposal thought Prince Dustan and Princess Tamina...

She looked at Prince Tus, who bowed his head to her, then she looked at Prince Garsiv who did the same and finally, her eyes came to Dastan, and in that moment her heart leapt and wept at the same time. She couldn't take her eyes of him, she just couldn't, but she knew she had to so she forced herself to tear her eyes away from Dustan... No! She knew she couldn't address him just as Dastan; it was now and forever will always be Prince Dastan.

When Princess Tamina had looked his way, Dastan saw a look of longing and sadness in her eyes, look she had lost something or... someone. It was the same look he was sure that he was giving to Tamina as well. But he couldn't understand why he was receiving the same look, only he remembered what happened in the other life... right?

Unbeknownst to Prince Dastan and Princess Tamina, but Prince Tus had noticed how their eyes had lingered on each other longer than what was the norm. He couldn't help but think that maybe there was a small history between them... But how could that be possible, they had never had set eyes on each other until now. No, it could not be that so he had to put it down to lust and attraction for each other. It was then that he knew what he had to do to make this whole mess right.

"Princess Tamina, I think I have thought of a reasonable solution. One that will up the number of your safety, guards and protection of the City..."

Oh no! Here comes the proposal... Thought Princess Tamina and Prince Dastan.

"Yes...?"

"I suggest a marriage between you and my youngest brother, although not by blood but none the less Prince Dastan... he and his men could help rebuild the broken army and the walls of your city and it will be an allegiance between two great cities."

What! This is not something that Princess Tamina was expecting, but even so as soon as the words had come out of Prince Tus' mouth, her heart leapt with joy.

"NO!" Exclaimed Prince Dastan...
