I am so sorry, everyone! I've been working on scholarship applications and essays, and those things take forever! So, quick info: I'm going to be heading to college here in less than a week, so I don't have a clue on how often I am going to be able to update. As it is, I thought I was going to be able to update more often now that it's summer and I have graduated high school, but it doesn't seem that way. Now, I want to work on updating everything as fast and as well as I can so then you all have some new chapters to read :)

Now then, onto the show, and so sorry for the stupid delays I keep finding myself in T^T

I do not own Prince of Persia or it's subsequent ideas and characters that go along with it - those belong to their respective owners.


Loving Sands

Chapter 2

The journey was not long, not really. It just seemed long in the Prince's eyes. Kaileena told them of storms coming there way (after the first couple of times and the crew just fighting tooth and nail with the sails just to stay upright, Prince started to believe her), and even warned them that going a certain way would note bode well.

Okay, that one was total bullshit; how was he supposed to know that pirates were waiting right around the corner? That mistake resulted in half of his crew being killed.

So, in the end, Prince took about two of his own crew and Kaileena in a small boat and went on their merry little way. Of course, Prince was upset that he couldn't keep his entire crew alive (More lives lost because of my foolishness, he thought), but at least Kaileena was alive.

Kaileena kept an eye on the horizon. The sun was rising and the Priestess's instinct told her that the journey was far from over.

Not just hers, but the Prince's as well.

The burning home greeted the Prince. Terror and guilt twisted in his gut. Why couldn't they just give him a break? He was just trying to fix things, trying to fix the stupid mistake he created not that long ago.

Was it really that long ago?

The small, meager crew kept an eye on the burning city, but Prince was the one who spotted the flaming ball headed straight for their small boat. He yelled out a warning just in time for it to capsize their boat.

Prince pushed down his rising panic. He needed to stay calm in this situation. Something red and white touched his corner vision, and he knew that he needed to save the Priestess before further harm could fall onto his precious home, his city, his people.

Kaileena struggled to swim with her bound hands. The more she struggled, the looser they became. She wanted to exhale in relief at her freed hands, but knew that air was precious. She wanted out of the water now, knowing that Sand and Water did not mix. Looking up (did she really fall that far into the water?), Kaileena caught the Prince trying to swim towards her, reaching towards her.

Her own panic started to rise. They needed to get out, and Kaileena didn't want to die there, not before witnessing the magnificence that was the Prince try to do what was right. Something came into the water at a high speed. It hit Prince in the head, and she saw his eyes slide shut, mouth opening in an exhale of his last precious breath.

The Priestess fought tooth and nail with the fighting waves and debris to bring him to shore. A scowl was set firmly on her face.

What was it with people and trying to change their fate.

Green eyes slid over to Prince, and the hardness softened a bit. Maybe, just maybe, this stubborn Prince could change his fate.

She sighed in relief once both bodies were ashore. Kaileena finally sat back and breathed, never appreciating air more than she did now.

Once the Priestess got her breath under control, she could hear footsteps rapidly coming closer to her location. Before she could turn to defend herself (and her warrior, but she didn't dare whisper that even in her mind), something hit her head and she was out cold.


Coming to was slow for him. Prince awoke and shook himself awake, his hand sliding towards the Dagger of Time out of instinct, feeling relief in feeling it still on his person. Hearing a struggle, he looked up and saw that Kaileena's unconscious body was being dragged away. Prince forced himself to get up and run after her, but as was his luck, falling debris fell and blocked his way.

He backed away quickly before he could get burned.

His scowl stayed on his face as he looked for a way to get to Kaileena before she could get hurt.

Honestly, it was more than terror at seeing his great kingdom and home fall, though that was a large part of feeling why he was panicking.

Kaileena was a priestess, stubborn and strong in her beliefs and what she did. She had his respect, and he didn't know if she had more from him.

He scowled, seeing a bloody creature standing in his way. He didn't know what was happening, but Gods be damned if his enemies would stand in the way of what he wanted.


So, yeah, hi! :D This was supposed to be out much earlier this week, but my dad was using my computer and exited out of my tabs - ALL OF THEM! So, my entire chapter was deleted, and it had to be rewritten. Problem was, this chapter was not like it's original.

I'm sorry it's short, but I'm thinking about keeping the chapters short and focusing on Kaileena's and Prince's thoughts. So this should be fun :D

I hope you all enjoyed :3

Storylover90 Thank you :D Glad you liked it :)
