I wiped the blood from my arm and glanced briefly at my hand and the blood that glistened there. I looked around the roof and took an assessment. The order was dead, a few of my hunters were hurt but none were dead. I stood for a minute to catch my breath; these battles were not as easy as they used to be. I didn't hear anything inside the building. I didn't know if that was good, or that meant the two people that meant the world to me were dead but I didn't have the strength to move right now. I had lost a lot of blood. The gash on my blood was sluggish now but the gash on my thigh was still bleeding profusely. I tried to lower myself to the ground but I ended up simply collapsing. As I sat my vision started to blur and I felt myself sag backwards. I knew what was happening, I knew that I had to focus on something. I searched my mind and grabbed the first thing. The Bow, Sekhmet, healing powers, lady of Slaughter. I kept thinking about it but I could feel my brain clouding more.
"I hear you, sister" I thought I could hear someone say. Finally all went black and my body relaxed completely. "You were right to think of me. I will sustain you here until I can reach you." Something in me nodded and then settled.
"I don't understand who you are, what you are…" I said in my mind. I heard a light chuckle.
"I am Sekhmet. I am your sister race. I am not the same, but I am not difference. You on earth are called Mai, you are descendant from my sister Bastet. I am too powerful to have my own race. Ra has forbidden me to enter earth for more than a lifetime. That's why there is only one of me, one promised. This time though, my sister has granted me something I have longed for, a mate that is all mine. Ra has never seen the power that will come from this gift. I am the Lady of Slaughter, the one before whom evil trembles, fire follows my arrows and blood drips flows from my hands. Gods fear me, humans fear me and yet I am the only one who can heal them." The laugh this time was harsher but none the less as soft and caring.
"So you are not mai?" I asked feeling stupid for asking.
"No, and Yes. I am mai in appearance on earth because of Ra's command but I am more powerful than you have ever seen."
Reviews make me happy, real reviews about the chapter make me really really happy. Make me smile!
It's short I know, but I felt like I needed to explain a little bit more about what Sekhmet was. I've been getting lots of comments saying that you were glad Chloe is Mai. I'm not saying that she is Sekhmet, i'm not saying anything of the kind. But I felt like I hadn't explained the difference to you all.
