~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angel please! You're dragging my legs in the sand! Solomon complained as we flew towards their destination.
Solomon, you maybe a elder mage, but you're not light! You should cut on the food. I said gently, but teasingly. Solomon, who was watching them fly above the sky, hovering close to the ground. That's when he saw a flash of light.
Angel! That's it! The Star of Egypt! Solomon yelled as they flew high above the city. Half was a market place and almost all of the other half was the palace of the Prince of Egypt. I couldn't help but gasp at the beauty. It was in the middle of nowhere, though it can still show off the beauty. Even though it wasn't like my kingdom, it was amazing site.
I slowly came to a land about one mile from the kingdom and placed Solomon gently on the ground. He fell to his knees and glared at me. I looked at him strangely, wondering why he was giving me a bad look. He stood up and brushed himself off.
Next time you give me a ride, get me a bag so I don't have to be dragged in the sand. I rolled my eyes, and sighed in relief that there was nothing to worry about. I quickly whipped the cloak onto my body and placed the hood over my head. Solomon followed the suit and we walked silently towards the kingdom.
When we arrived at the marketplace, Solomon immediately took my hand and dragged me towards one of the houses. He opened the door and walked in. I looked around nervously and followed, something made me feel like I was watched.
*Seto's P.O.V*
So, Solomon, thought you could escape the prisons, eh? Well, you'll find that you'll have a more terrible fate to face with the pharaoh and I'll make sure of it. I looked at the second figure. She was taller than the old fool, but was about up to the size of my elbow. She was covered by the cloak, but I could see strands of silver and brown as she looked around as though she sensed him watching, then walked in. She looked like a very fair lady, but telling that she was with the old bird, I could tell that she was a prisoner as well. I stood up from my hiding spot and walked quickly towards the palace.
^*in the palace*^
I couldn't help but smile to myself as I opened to the council room. I chuckled softly and saw the pharaoh with a hand on his chin looking at the council men annoying and sleepily. He rolled his eyes and laid back on the chair paranoid with the lectures from them. I had to admit, they were kind of boring. I quickly walked next to the pharaoh and sat down next to him. He looked at me and sighed.
What did you find this time, Seto? He asked half-desperately and half-curiously. He was looking at me, hoping for something to do. I knew that people hated him as much as his father, but when the pharaoh's father died, he took over the throne. I knew that his father was cold-hearted. Hey, like father, like son.
I found one of the fugitives go into one of the homes and he had another prisoner with him. It was a female. The Pharaoh looked at me when he heard the last word. He was shocked to hear a female was at a prison cell. He leaned back on the chair and sighed. I continued.
What should I do, Pharaoh? Kill them both? knowing that he would kill all prisoners that escaped the prison. But I was shocked at his words that came directly from his mouth.
Kill the old coot, spare the girl and bring her here. I want to see this female, she might become useful, if not, she'll get the same fate, only worse. He sneered at the thought and I shuddered. I hope he's not thinking about that. (A/N: Telling from other fictions, peeps, you should know what I mean by that)
^*back at the marketplace*^
*Angel's P.O.V*
Solomon? Is that you? I heard a male-voice ask in amazement. Then I saw a tall man with blonde hair. He had honey-brown eyes and was very muscular. He smiled broadly and hugged Solomon in a crushing bear-hug. I then heard a gasp of a girl in the darkness. She ran out, she had reddish-brown hair and hazel eyes. She was shorter and younger than me, but was very energetic than I'll ever be.
Solomon, you're back! But how? You escaped the prison? The girl squealed, not even trying to hold her giggling. The blond smiled and looked at me with his honey-colored eyes. I seemed lost in them, but I turned away.
I might have not came here if it weren't for Angeline. My students, this is Angeline Lunara Moon. Solomon said as he placed a hand on his arm. When I heard him say 'students' it must of meant that he was a 'sensei' (A/N: That means 'teacher') to them. When they heard my name, they both gasped in amazement and horror.
No! It can't be! The- the girl stuttered, but I finished her sentence.
The one and only. I said as I pulled the hood from my face. My gold and silver streaks glowed in the fire-light. And my bronze hair was evened out perfectly. They both gapped and obediently went on all fours and bowed at my feet. I was a little surprised at this, but laughed and told them not to do bow. I was a human and they were humans, we are created equal. They sighed and stood up.
Angeline, this is my students, Joey and Serenity. They are my closest friends and students. We both exchanged greetings and talked a while. Serenity was hyper and asked me a mountain of questions about the Zenoah Kingdom (A/N: Yeah, I was going to call it Evan's Kingdom, but Zenoah makes more sense) and about the vegetation and well, everything! Solomon laughed and silenced the girl. He looked at me and told me it will be hard to hide my identity from the pharaoh. I smiled and showed my hair. I placed my hands on it, then brushed them down and as I did, the gold bangs disappeared from my hair and left only the silver and my bronze hair.
Well, you might havta change your name, princess, almost everyone in the kingdom knows your name. Joey said to me in concern as he handed me some peasant clothes and smiled.
I know the Japanese language, and I know I can only say my middle name to replace my last. So it will be Tenshi Lunara. I answered him. He sighed in relief that I was one step ahead of him and directed me to a room where I could change into. After I did, turned to open the door, then I heard a conversation between Joey and Solomon. I leaned my ear on the door and listened carefully.
Solomon, you shouldn't of came here, you will get yourself in danger and the princess as well.
I understand that Joseph, but you need to understand Angeline right now, she's always dreamed of being free from the castle walls, she's never experienced a life like this, she's always wanted to be free. Like a bird in a cage, longing to fly in the sky.
I know, but the old pharaoh died 10 years ago! And this new pharaoh is not better, he's worse. He kills everyone who stands in his way. And there's no one who can stand up to him. Like father, like son.
Joey! Joey! Joey! Please, calm down. I will try my best to keep Angel safe, she will be alright. Trust me Joey, she's a omen 1 and a good one. She was blessed by the gods to heal anything, maybe she's the fire that might melt the pharaoh's heart. I know that pharaoh is stressed, confused of his own actions. I know he is not evil. He's got his father's anger and confusion and his troubles on his shoulders.
I stood on the doorway shocked, then remembered the story Solomon told me:
There were once one girl and boy who thought of the same thing, both wanted to care for someone, but every time they tried, it seemed like destiny had something else in store for them, like they had something to do before they love someone or care for someone. But alas, there one of them had a not evil, but cold and confused soul. But the other melted that heart, but with the ultimate price-
I wonder, if the pharaoh is the man I'm searching for. I wonder. The thought and the story replayed in my mind, I couldn't figure it out, how could I, a disguised peasant that was really the Princess and Daughter of Evan, heal and melt the ice-carved heart of a murderous pharaoh of Egypt, how?
My train of thought was interpreted by a loud scream and yells of men. I opened the door, do my horror, I saw Solomon, on the ground motionless, with a pool of blood surrounding his body. A sword was struck in his heart the man who stabbed Solomon removed his hand from the blade. I uttered a gasp of fear, I couldn't bear the fact that they were going to kill me too.
The sight and sounds of the incident replayed in my mind. The man, he was taller than Joey, and more muscular and strong. He stood up. His brunette hair slightly covered his ice-blue eyes. He looked at me and snapped his fingers. Another man appeared at his side and before long, I was above the ground, my hands above my head and a silver blade inches away from my chest.
Joey who came into the room and tackled the guard from stabbing me. They were fiercely punching and kicking each other till the brunette gabbed Joey and threw him into the wall. He took the blade that he used on Solomon and prepared to use it on Joey. I gave a cry and grabbed the man's arm, with tears in my eyes, I gripped the material of his shirt.
The blue-eyed boy looked down at me with his cold eyes, knowing he meant business. But, that didn't stop me. I refused to release his arm after him saying countless times to let go. Why didn't he just finish me off with the blade in his hand, was he sparing me?
Let me go, female. I don't have time for this. The boy gabbed my arm, but he winced and tore his gaze away from me.
Please! I ran in front of when he raised the blade. Spare him! It's me you want, my lord. I couldn't stop crying. As I cried, my tears fell to the floor and made wet marks on the dirt floor.
*Seto's P.O.V*
I couldn't believe it! This girl was sacrificing herself in exchange for the boy's life. She even said 'my lord' in her death wish. I couldn't help but smile at her courage, no girl could have it like her inside. She looked at me with those tearing and pleading eyes. Not even taking her gaze away from mine. I sighed and put the blade away in it's case. I grabbed her arm. Her skin was as soft as rose petals. She looked at me again with those pleading eyes. Like a kitten on the streets, begging for milk.
It's me you want, she repeated, her eyes were locked in my gaze, not daring to look away. Please, I'll go quietly with you, whatever you wish.
You are brave, female, and yes, come with me. I turned around and walked out. I looked back at her to see that she took one last glance at the blonde and the old man, then walked out.
*Joey's P.O.V*
I can't believe it, Angel was putting her life on the line for mine. She's a princess and I'm just a peasant. I should be the one who was protecting her not me being protected by her.
Please, I'll go quietly with you, whatever you wish. Angel said in a pleading tone. The brunette put his blade away and smiled.
You are brave, female, and yes, come with me. He turned his heal and walked out. Angel looked at me and smiled weakly.
Don't worry about me, Joey. I'll be alright. I'll be alright. She gave me a weak thumbs up and walked out. I looked outside and saw it was raining, that's what Solomon meant by Angel being an omen.
*************************************************************************************
Phew, good chappie, now please, I know, I'm sorry, I do have to raise the rating up now. Sorry kiddies, it's for you own good. Now on with the 1
1: Omen: When Angel was born, she was blessed by Zenoah to be an omen. An omen is a sign of either good or evil. If Angel was upset, it would rain outside, if she was happy or excited, it would be sunny and all the mushy stuff. She also has an ability, when she walks around, if she wants to, she could have flowers bloom at her feet, but that will only happen if she's barefoot and she's released her energy instead of hiding it.
Please, R/R!!!!
