Kiara was pulled along by some tall guys in weird old style clothes. They seemed to be soldiers too because they had weapons. They were saying something or other about 'Ishtar' and 'the gods' and 'King Kail' but Kiara wasn't really paying attention that what they were saying.

How do I know what they are saying? This is like, before English was invented. How can I understand whatever it is they are speaking? I wonder if I say something, will it come out in English or this other language?

The men herded her past the very loud crowd until she was way behind the temple thing.

Pretty. And all made by hand probably. She thought as she stared around.

She heard people talking and thought she might want to pay attention. After all she had no idea what was going on or where she was or why she was here. She might be in big trouble and there was no one around her to help her. No body guards to keep back the hordes, no big football jock boyfriends to protect her. Where she was, she was here alone.

"This is quite a strange turn of events." a man said to someone beside him.

Oh my gosh, he's so hot. Kiara thought blinking. Of course it was not the right thing to be thinking right now but it was so true.

This guy was tall; and weren't the people in the B.C. Ages supposed to have been shorter? Well this guy was tall and muscled and really cute. His hair was golden blond and long and he had really nice deep eyes.

Wow. She was staring. She was totally staring at him. Who cared? She had been pulled out of her own time zone for goodness sake she had a right to stare. And maybe he knew what was going on. Everyone around him was bowing and showing all kinds of respect.

He's wearing a lot of jewelry. She thought looking him over again. Is this the king they've been talking about?

"It is quite strange." another man agreed. This man had really long blond hair too but he seemed more of the studying type than a jock.

You know, you can go back in time thousands of years but people always still fit in high school categories.

They were talking about her. How it was strange that she was there. That made a lot of sense. I mean, weird girl wearing blue jeans, sandals and mascara (water-proof thank 'gods') just shows up in the middle of their little festival thing? Yeah. They were probably as freaked out as she was.

"Hello?" she called loudly. "A little attention over here!"

everyone stared at her.

Okay, maybe not that much attention. "Um, I'd kinda like to go back to Japan now? I mean, my agent is gonna be looking for me and I have a show to be at in two days—"

"Japan? Is that what you said?" the king person asked looking shocked.

How does he know about a place that had not been founded yet? This is all so weird.

"Um yeah. I was in Japan, and then some how I was in your well over there." she had to laugh. It was so weird. She stopped laughing though when she saw the looks on their faces.

They all seemed to think she was crazy.

Well I suppose I might be, never got tested or anything. She thought to herself. Kiara hoped that she could keep herself amused and unafraid cause these people sure didn't look too happy.

The king person was thinking. She could practically see the little wheels moving around in his head. What was he thinking so hard about?

She didn't know but she didn't want to make things worse by bothering him and making them all think she was truly and completely crazy. So she looked around.

The buildings were pretty but she was more interested in the people.

There three other men there besides the king and the study-type guy.

The first man was standing near the king with the horses and he had a lot of freckles. If she were to keep to her high school type way of categorizing people then she would say that the guy with freckles was one of those quiet guys whom most people liked but didn't always notice.

The other two were jocks. There was one who was old and he was bald, but he didn't seem that old. Like, his hair style was just a shaved head. That was cool. Lots of people did that. And he didn't really look all that old. Just older than the other people around here.

The last guy was really cute too. He had short blond hair and was tall and lean.

They are all tall. And mostly muscled. Except for Freckles and Studious over there.

"Your Highness, we should be getting back. Word of this will spread quickly and we do not know of the significance yet." the guy with really long hair said. Kiara decided that he must the kings adviser person. Like in all the movies. Although in a lot of the movies the adviser was the bad guy.

"You are right. This is something we should get contained before it gets out of hand."

the king turned around and headed off with a sweep of his cloak.

Ooh, cool. She thought watching him. She started to walk behind him thinking that he was going to take her some place else but someone pulled on her arm.

It was the bald guy. "You are going to walk to the palace with us." he said. She wasn't sure if he was being rude or not but she felt irritated.

"Uh uh. No. I am not walking all over the place. I just had to work hard, all day today, and yesterday. And then I nearly got drowned in your watery thing and now I'm here where there's no cars or subways to get me around but I am not going to walk." Kiara said glaring at them. They looked at her a little confused and slightly annoyed but they didn't seem to be able to think of anything to say.

Kiara pulled her arm out of the man's grip and walked over to the horses that Freckles was holding onto.

They were all staring at her but she tried to ignore them.

She patted one of the horses, a big tan one, on its side and whispered softly to it.

"Hey pretty baby, whatcha doing?" she rubbed its neck carefully. The horse moved away from her a little then it relaxed.

Kiara smiled. She loved horses. She grabbed hold of the horse on its back and hoisted herself up just like she had done for years back on the ranch.

Everyone was still staring.

Just like babies when you show them something shinny. All they do is stare. "Alright, where are we off to?"
