She said a quick prayer to Isis. *Oh Isis please let me win. The Earth depends on it* she thought. She and Tess walked quickly to the arena. Kivar was sitting on a huge black and red throne. Max, Michael, Isabel, Alex, Maria, Kyle, Ava, Nikolas and Serena were sitting down, their hands tied. Max looked at her and Liz could read the message in his eyes: It's all up to you now. "If I win, my friends and myself go free and you stop trying to take over." Liz stared defintly up at Kivar. Kivar laughed. "You always were independent, Nefertiri. Fine. I accept. If I win, then all of you go back to Antar as my prisoners and Earth is mine"Kivar gave an evil smirk. Liz/Nefertiri tried to not let her anger at this evil creature show. "And Tess used the Sacred Crystal of Ishama to enhance her abilities. And no power is allowed" Kivar added. Tess/Anck-renamen grinned at Liz/Nefertiri. " You always were too perfect for your own good. It's a shame that foolish father of yours isn't here to see his precious daughter lose." Anck-renamen said to Nefertiri. Nefertiri didn't flinch. " And you always were a arrogant witch even in Egypt. You stabbed me because you were peeved that *I* won the bracelet and got to marry Zan" Nefertiri retorted. Anck-renamen went livid with anger.
"I really couldn't care less for Zan now. In my second past life I would have been known as Queen Althena, wife to the great Kivar if Ava hadn't killed me. She found out my plan and was going to tell Zan and I couldn't risk it. But of course she doged my beam and had her servant kill me instead. But now I shall have my revenge" Anck-renamen took her place.
