Um..ya im really stupid:: ( in the first chapter....)
She saw exactly what she needed. The king's son was riding through the market. He was not dressed formally, so no one recognized him for who he was. She did though, and she took advantage of this. She slipped through the crowd toward him, deciding what she would take. There was a small jewel hanging off of his bracelet. She reached for it and somehow managed to unhook it from where it was clasped. She stood where she was, hearing nothing inside of the mind of the king.
That is supposed to be "inside the mind of the king's son."
Sorry about the confusion and my stupidity...lol.
Chapter 3:
The prince was pacing his study. His mind was contemplating the dey's events. A girl - a member of the rogue- had taken the jewel. Surely she would give it to her master, who then would attempt to use it and mistakenly destroy his "kingdom."
He gave a contemptuous "hmmp" at the word kingdom. As prince, he did not like the fact that there was a kingdom (A/N: aka: the court of the rogue, if you didn't pick that up) within his kingdom, and that its citizens were more loyal to their leader than they were to him. This is why he had devised his plan to ride through town, accompanied only by his friend, Kai. He would have the expensive-looking jewel hanging off of his bracelet, easy to unhook, so that any person who was looking to steal would not have a tough time of it at all.
He knew that his people considered him to be a soft, noble prince, who was completely naïve as to the nature of his people. They thought him to be stupid, without the Gift, and without any skill in the fighting arts. The truth was that he had become a knight on his eighteenth birthdey, just as custom dictated for the heir to the throne. He did not want to parade it, as was the custom. Instead of the large party that was usually had for the heir, he just had a small family dinner with his parents.
Atricin also had the gift, very strongly. He could do a little healing, but his main gifts were in mind-reading/control and in warfare. That is how he could hear the thoughts of Isis, almost as clearly as if she had spoken. He had to admit that her thoughts were strange- and they had some sort of strange energy.
She had thought *I can't hear anything. That's definitely unusual.* What had she meant by it? She did not have the gift. He would have been able to see it if she did. Still, that energy in her thought was not usual for the thoughts of some common girl. And the fact that the crystal glowed in her hand....
He would have to think it through.

Isis had been back in her room for about an hour now, with the door locked. She was examining the jewel, trying to see what it could do. When she put it down on her bed, it stopped glowing, but the second she picked it up, it started glowing again. She had just started trying to put herself inside the stone, to see what it might hold. After trying twice, she gave up for a while with a bad headache, resolving to try again on the morrow.
It was time to go to bed, anyway. Isis washed her face, changed into her pajamas, and crawled into bed. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
It was suddenly very warm in the room. Isis opened her eyes to see a bright light, a figure forming in the midst. Immediately she scrambled out of bed and grabbed the knife that she always kept under her pillow. She was an expert with a knife. (Better than George himself- and he was a legend in her time.)
"Put down your knife," a strangely calming voice said.
"I will if you show yourself!" Isis challenged. The light dimmed. Isis saw a beautiful woman, who, strangely enough, looked quite like her. But she didn't register the fact at that moment. She was busy collapsing to her knees as she realized that the Great Mother Goddess stood before her. In her very own bedroom!
"Now will you put that knife down? It is not polite to threaten your mother."
The plot thickens.......dun dun dun. Well poor you, you don't know what I have planned. ::evil grin:: but I do. And im not telling.
I will tell (eventually) if you review, however. SO REVIEW!!! (just in case you didn't get the hint) TANKS!!!!
