Sadie and I were really in the First Nome to see Amos, but I really wanted to see Zia. Zia was still there, with Amos, helping out. She should be coming to the Twenty-First Nome soon, but with the Chaos that's been going on, everything is just so hard to plan.
Anyway, Sadie and I walked through the marketplace, trying to keep our heads down, not knowing how the people would react to seeing us. With our luck, they would try to murder us or something. Soon, we came to the Hall of the Ages. Amos and Zia were there, Zia pouring over scrolls, while Amos appeared to be talking to someone we couldn't see.
"Ah, hello, Carter, Sadie," Amos said, greeting us with the same warm smile.
At my name, Zia looked up. Her amber eyes lit up and she nearly dropped the scrolls she was carrying. Zia looked beautiful, like always, though her hair had grown to her shoulders now.
"Sadie, could you come over here with me," Amos asked, gesturing for the invisible person to leave. "I want to show you something."
Amos and Sadie walked away, but not before Amos winked at me and Sadie smirked. I had no clue what Amos was going to show Sadie, but I had a feeling he had done that just to give a few minutes with Zia.
Gods, I had missed her so much. There wasn't a day that went by when I didn't think about her.
"What'cha reading?" I asked, trying to start a conversation that wasn't awkward.
"Oh, just some things about the Pharaohs," she replied, showing me the scroll that depicted several Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.
"Neat," I said.
"Yeah," Zia agreed. "Its just been really tough lately. I have loads of research to do, and then I have my other duties and..."
Zia trialed off, not quite finishing her sentence.
"You know," I said. "if you ever want a bit of change, you could always come to the Twenty-First Nome and help me and Sadie teach Blood of Pharaohs how to use their powers without blowing things up."
Zia laughed. With one little smile, she seemed so much happier. "I might just have to take you up on that, Carter," she said. Then her eyes got dark and sad.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Its—its just that," she wiped a few tears from her eyes. "I missed you—a lot. And when I heard you were coming today, I was so excited to see you, but I don't know if I could let you leave again..."
Zia trailed off again, once again not finishing her sentence.
"It'll be okay," I reassured her. "Everything will be fine and soon, Amos will be all settled in and then you can come back to the Twenty-First Nome and help me teach twenty magicians. We'll make it through this."
Zia leaned against my shoulder and buried her face in it. I wrapped one arm around her. We stayed in that position for who knows how long.
Soon, though, Amos and Sadie had to come back.
The four of us talked about everything for a little while: Apophis (though we didn't use his name), Ra, and everything else that was going on.
Just as Sadie and I were about to leave, I leaned over and whispered to Zia, "Soon, we'll be reunited for good."
My hand brushed against her cheek and I think I saw a faint smile on her face.
A/N: Remember, I need three reviews (at least) to update! So...PLEASE REVIEW!
