Reincarnate Love

Chapter 4
When she arrived in Egypt, Bianca picked up her bags and headed toward the exit. She kept her eyes open for Evelyn, but didn't see her.
When she got outside, she stopped in surprise at the sharp contrast between the business city look of the inside of the airport and the desert wildness of the outside. She was standing there staring at the sand when she focused on a man sitting atop a black stallion. He was in all black, with long black hair and strange Arabic tatoos on his face. She instantly thought he was very handsome.
Then she remembered the description Dr. Bey had given her of Aredeth Bay and realized it must be him. He appeared to be waiting and searching, so she decided to approach him.
The closer she got, the more intimidated she got, but had the courage enough to ask him, "Are you Ardeth Bay?"
He looked down at her with nearly-black eyes full of wisdom and said, "Yes. Who, may I ask, are you?"
"Well, it's a bit of a long story, but I'm one of Dr. Bey's students. I came in his place."
"He sent a student here when there could be danger?"
"Well, actually, I convinced him to."
"Why did he not come himself?"
"Because of Imhotep and the Scorpion King and all the other walking dead around here. He couldn't deal anymore," Bianca told him, amused at the surprise registered on his face when she mentioned Imhotep.
"So he has told you of the dangers you may face here, and you still chose to come?"
"Yea. It's been my dream to come to Egypt...and I felt that I was meant to be here," she said, not really meaning to add the last part.
Ardeth stared at her for a moment, then came down off his horse in one swift movement, "Then I am pleased to make the acquaintence of someone so dedicated to a dream. Do you know how to ride?" he asked, gesturing toward his stallion.
"Yes, actually. I can."
"Then come this way. I will show you to yours," he said, holding the stallion's reins and walking away.
Bianca followed at a small distance so she could study him some more. He's so dark and serious, she thought to herself. He needs to lighten up.
Just then, they arrived at a small stable over to the side of the airport. Wow, tthey really do depend on horses a lot, Bianca thought.
A stablehand came out leading an Arabian mare, dark brown. She fell in love with the horse immediately, but couldn't help looking at Ardeth's black Arabian stallion. Since she was little, that had been her dream horse.
She ran up to the mare and turned to Ardeth, "Is she mine?"
"Yes. Her name is Neba,which means flame, and she will be yours as long as you are in Egypt."
"Oh, wow," Bianca said, running her hand down Neba's neck.
"You like horses," Ardeth stated.
"Oh, I love horses."
Just then, Bianca was reminded that they were at an airport by the roaring of a plane overhead. When it got far enough away so they could hear, Ardeth said, "We should go."
"What about my bags? I can't carry them and ride at the same time."
"A few of my men will come and get them later today. For now, we will leave them here with the stable manager."
"Oh, OK. Shall we go then?" Bianca said as she smoothly mounted Neba.
Ardeth mounted his stallion and started heading west. Bianca tapped Neba with her foot and followed after him.
