Epilogue
Alexandra Speaks:
The next afternoon, Uncle Shadi and I left for Cairo, Egypt. On the way there, he explained that the task I was to undertake would take a lot of time for me to learn. It was okay with me. I was only seven, and I had plenty of time before it was laid on me to take over for my uncle. Uncle Shadi enjoyed telling me about the different things I might like in Egypt, building my excitement further.
When the plane landed, he took me right to his dwelling. It's underground, which is really cool. We spent a great amount of time going over the do's and don'ts of living near the market, but there weren't a whole lot of don't. I was free to go anywhere I chose.
Today is exactly four years to the day Uncle Shadi and I first met. The reason I remember this is because he does. At the time, I thought he was some guardian angel sent to protect me from harm, but now I know he was a gift from my late mother. It seems that our family roots are deeply embedded in Ancient Egyptian history. I hope to learn about these roots from Uncle Shadi.
I received two letters this week from my cousins who went through that horrible ordeal with me. Arianna is doing well. She's going to a private school in Domino City. Kassandra turned eight, and Duke Devlin helped her write a cute letter for me. She wanted to tell me she loved me, missed me. I had to write back to say that I wasn't sure when I'd be able to visit. Uncle Shadi promised it would be soon. I really hope so. Sometimes, I wish we hadn't been separated,but Uncle Shadi reminded me that you cannot control Destiny, and we were not destined to be together. Shadi and I were. And that is how it is.
