The Gods Of Egypt

I approached the mirror cautiously. I touched the bright glass that was in front of me gleaming with evil. When I touched it the ice cold surface froze me into death. I screamed into the shadows of dark eyes killing me. Death. It was all it said.

"Ceraya! You're so slow!" I heard my royalty sister cry out to me. "Yes." I guess I was a slowpoke. I kept my pace letting my white gown flow on the floor, polishing the great floors of Egypt. I looked around at things that were around me. I moved into a new royal family like always. I was the guest of honor and I always had to dress pretty. How I hated the royal rules. As I took my seat next to my sister Nuriko, I glanced at everyone. Mocking with their own words I tried to keep still. The so-called 'prince' is very annoying. He bribes me with things. Trying to earn my trust for him, which will be never. Something about his fiancée frightens the living life out of me. Her evil red hair was always kept shiny and clean. She would always be in dialogue about an unfamiliar boy that I never knew. The high priest, Seth/Kaiba, always came to greet me with a gentle kiss. I hated them; he always wanted me to fall for his charms. More than annoying I was sometimes frustrated by the family. Always, a lot of boys come to me and beg me of marriage. I bid my peace but I couldn't. I glared at Iziya's smiling face came into the dining room, her hair was tied in a special day. The trumpets blew and I thought I was expecting someone, probably a new date member for Iziya. Yami will deal with this. Nuriko knew I was very bored by this, "yes we know you hate it but you have to pay attention." "Yeah sure, whatever." I looked at the windows, something unfamiliar about this castle kept me wondering about it. We had just come in to live with Iziya and now I have the willies about here. I shook my head out of it and then looked at the new person. I guess he was rich, more than one boy came in, a lot of boys came in a group separating from a young teenage boy like me. A girl came as well, my parents adored the girl but I knew she was a close relative of mine. Probably the only one. Hikaru and Naru came to me in amazement. "Did you see the hot guys?" "Hot guys??" I gave them a question-mark kind of look. The girl finally spoke. "Ceraya is that you?" She spoke in some Japanese accent but I understood her. "Who are you?" "That's a laugh, I am Momijii. Your tomboy cousin, or should I say cross- dresser cousin like you. I looked at you as an idol. Everyone kept gossiping about you and so I decided to do that as well." "Oh, I never knew I was that admired." A soldier came towards me warning me about something called war. "War?" "Princess Ceraya, Van is awaiting your appearance." "Yes. I will be right there." The soldier turned to Momijii, "I need you as well, and Van needs Hikaru, Naru, Momijii and Ceraya." Iziya gave me a sneer, "A princess as a warrior? Ha, she can't even protect herself." "I wouldn't be so sure." A teenage prince came in with a red shirt and creamy sort of straight-legged pants. I could have known that Iziya fell in love with him as well. "Ready to go girls?" "Yes." The person that was beside me was stripped of his own pride. He grabbed my wrist and whispered to my ear, "Remember it is dangerous out there, you can never trust anyone." I took my wrist back, "I don't need your advice, and I am a well trained princess." I walked away ignoring his advice but it did ponder towards me. I tried to focus on the plans but I just couldn't. I decided I needed some rest, so I went home early. I spotted Iziya's pure ruby eyes glaring at me, her luscious red lips covered in red lipstick made it even more clear to see her. In her hand was a mirror, I decided to ignore it and went passed her. Before I even got close enough to her, she smiled and then used the mirror to do something. I was lifted from the ground, "Ceraya, I love playing with magic. GO drown for me like a puppy." She shot me into a big deep pool with water. "Is that not good enough?" She shot me again; as I skimmed through the water very fast I was getting blood spilled out of me. I knew this was torture to me and the other slaves. "Stop it Iziya." "Never! All the men I like are always on your side. But you always act like you flirt with them and date them!" "Wrong! You're the only one that does that!" "Enough! I will finish you today! No love! No power! How PATHETIC!" She shot me again breaking the mirror. All the broken bits hit me and I got kicked into the water. I fell into the water, letting blood flow out of me, but I was losing it fast. Naru looked at me but didn't bother helping me. 'Why? Why?' My hand needed to be felt and pulled up. I was suddenly shone by light. My millennium item glowed but I never felt any force happening. I closed my eyes and started to burst into tears. Until I got pulled up by someone. "Iziya stop this!" "It's you Van." She dropped the handle of the mirror. She spotted wings on him, "you are full of Atlantis power. No wonder." "Iziya I said stop it." The tight gripped tighter and it hauled me up to Van. I coughed out the water, breathing finally. He patted me on the back gently. "Iziya leave! Now!" "You will die this day! Van, I had kindness for you but your days are over!" I coughed out the last bit of water. With it the red looking water came pulling me with it. Van pulled my hand never wanting to let me go. "Ceraya!" "Van!" I tried to fall but couldn't. "Someone wants me! Here take this!" I pulled a pendant out of my pocket. "Control Escaflowne with it. You must defeat him! The Evil one!" I loosened the grip and I smiled my last. I was taken by the water and was never seen by Van, Iziya, Naru or anyone else. Ever again. I thought that I was going to die but I didn't. I was breathing in water but not only that something blue sparkled at me. I felt sinister by touching it but I never regretted the fact that something came out of it. It gave a strident roar and there it was, in front of my face. A god from Egypt, a dragon, a live dragon with fierce blood pounding to kill me. I knew it was my death. What will happen to me???
