Chapter 11: Secret is out

The next day; Mayu was out picking some more blueberries then she heard a scream she run towards the scream and saw a mother holding one of the boys that she was playing with yesterday. Mayu went over to the women and touches her shoulder. The mother looked up and Mayu saw that the boy had a big animal mark on his chest. She started to cry.

"Child do not be sad, it's nothing we could do now but pray that he is happy in the afterlife," a old man said to the mother. Mayu was about to grab the boy but then Zannanza went and grabs her hands before she could make contact with him.

"All the other men are getting ready for the hunt," he said. Mayu looks at him and starts to think.

"Hunt?"

"We will catch the animal that did this to him," another man said. Mayu tries to get away from Zannanza grip but he only squeezed her more. Then whisper in her ear.

"He's already dead let him rest in peace," he said.

"But he never wanted to go," she thought. She swings her head into Zannanza face and he let go off her to grab his face. Then she moves to the mother and held out her hands to her so that she could hold him. The mother slowly let go of the boy and gave him to Mayu. She hugs him close to her so that no one was able to see the scars; slowly the scars where healing and he was breathing; when the scars where gone Mayu slowly got up and moved him to the bed. Once he was down she could walk at all and felt a little bit faint. She fell on her knees and was trying her hardest to keep her eyes open. The mother when over to the bed and saw that he was breathing.

"He's alive… it's a miracle my son is alive," she said as she cries. "What did you do? Thank you so much thank you… thank you…" Mayu couldn't hold it any longer she was about to fall but Zannanza caught her.

"You idiot," he said. A young priest walks up to him.

"Who is she?" he asks.

"Her name is Isis…"

THE NEXT DAY

They were outside by a tree; Mayu was leaning on it and Zannanza wasn't that far from her.

"That was a stupid thing that you done," he said. "Now everyone knows you're the goddess of rebirth," he walks over to her and was standing in front of her. "It's going to be very hard for you now you know that right," she shook her head. Mayu looked away from him.

"I know that he's yelling at me but why am I happy?" she said and blushes some more. He moves her face so that she looks at him.

"Where you even listening?"

"Sorry," she thinks.

"Dam it why am I the only one that's worried." Mayu started to write on a piece of paper then hand it to him.

"Prince it's nothing to worry about? I couldn't stand there and do nothing it not like me and you know it let's look past this okay," she said he looks at her and she is smiling. Zannanza exhaled then smile.

"Your right there nothing I could have done," Mayu hands him another piece of paper.

"Zannanza how do you fell about me?" he looked at her

"Isis… I can't answer this," she was shock but then smile.

"As I thought it was only a one sided love… I can't be by his side like this," the wind started to moved around her. She notices that the wind was around her. Zannanza notices as well and goes to grab her and but she disappeared right before his eyes.

"Isis!"
