Chapter 2
Before Amanne could enter the throne room, someone grabbed her arm. "Finally, I found you. I've been searching for you all morning." Amanne spun, and saw Seth looking relived.
"You know we always go to the river," she retorted.
"But not always the same spot," Seth shot back. They "glared" at each other for a moment, then Seth started chuckling. Amanne giggled. They shared a quick kiss, then walked into throne room arm in arm.
Atemu was already sitting in his throne, while Heba stood between the two thrones with a pitcher of water and a goblet. Seth escorted her to her throne, then went to stand with the other priests. Heba walked over and handed her the goblet, and filed it with water. While he was doing so, he whispered, "So, Priest Protector found you did he? You know Ama, you could do a much better job hiding.", he jabbed playfully.
Amanne giggled at Heba's antics, and ruffled his spiky hair. Ruefully, he pushed his hair back into place, and stuck his tongue out at Amanne. Feigning horror, she cried, "Temi! Heba stuck his tongue out at me!"
Atemu playfully sighed. "Do I have to separate you two?" Heba chuckled, and returned to his place in between their thrones. Once the rest of the nobles arrived, court began.
It began as normal, with the townspeople bringing their grievances to the pharaoh. Some complained about their neighbors, others about their spouses. Atemu dealt with them all fairly, though some left still complaining. That took up until supper. The court was adjourned, and they would begin again the next day after they ate breakfast.
Atemu, Amanne, Seth, Isis, Mahad, Shada, Shimone, and Heba went to the dining chamber. The nobles and priests(ess) sat at the table on pillows, while Heba sat next to them on the floor. Even though he was a slave, he was like a brother to the pharaoh and princess, and therefore had few duties. He also had special privileges, like dining with the higher classes. They ate a delicious dinner of lamb, fruits, and bread soaked in honey.
After dinner Amanne and Seth went for a walk through the gardens. Walking hand in hand, they enjoyed the flowers, fountains, and the stars. They found an open glade to lie in. Seth lay down, and Amanne rested her head on his chest. They gazed at the stars, pointing out animals, people, and words.
They stayed out there until Isis came looking for Amanne. "Your brother wishes to see you in his chambers."
"What does he need?" Amanne questioned, standing up and leaning back on Seth who had his arm around her shoulders.
"He didn't say why, just that you and only you were to go to him immediately."
"Alright then. I'll go the quick way." She kissed Seth, and took a step to the side. Her eyes flashed crimson, and she disappeared.
A.N.
Amanne was born with her powers, and has been in training from age 13. Because her powers are natural, her eyes turn colors when she does magic. None of the other characters eyes change color when they do magic because they were not born with their powers. I hope that will clear up any confusion you might have had:) The next update will either be Tuesday or next week, depending on if I get moving on the next chapters. Love y'all!
