You read the story "Live My Lie" by my best friend Telkella, or Tekki as only I can call her, would like to tell you sorry, but she couldn't find out how, since you're not reading her stories any more. Sorry, on her behalf, and mine. Please forgive my best friend, and tell her so. Thanks.
Aerin: Storm, I don't want to have any Seth/Isis in here! But I was because some of my hikari's friends wanted it in here. Now I'm not cuz you told me to do it! No one bosses me around! I'm a queen, you-

Jou: That's all you need to here from us. So, you can read the chapter now. Hope you like it!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Irry was worried all night about the girl he had rescued from the river. Her fever had gotten worse, and Anzu had had to go and fetch a healer so that Aerin wouldn't pass away to the sickness. Around midnight, the prince finally fell into an uneasy slumber, but he didn't get any real rest that night.
Waking at the break of dawn, Irrylath walked down into the gardens. What had Yami said the other night about Aerin? That she might be the lost princess. She was very beautiful, but then, so was Anzu though she was merely a servant. Yami obviously thought more of her, Irry thought with a smile. That was something to bring a smile to the face, his cousin King Yami the Pharaoh was falling in love with a servant girl, though he probably wouldn't admit it if someone confronted him with it.
But the thoughts of the small girl with the burning fever kept coming back to mind, and they wouldn't leave him alone, so Irrylath decided to go see how she was doing. On the way to the room where he had laid Aerin down in the night before, he began to wonder if this plan was actually wise. For instance, only last night when he had first brought her in, Anzu had pushed him out the door and told him to leave. Then again, Yami had been waiting and looking for him last night, so that might have been the cause.
The thoughts broke off as he realized he didn't know exactly where he had put Aerin. Anzu had been leading him, and he had not thought about it because he had been so preoccupied with other things that had been bothering his mind.
"Well, Irrylath, you old idiot, congratulations, you managed to lose the lost princess, and she was already lost. You should get a medal for losing a lost personage, it's a rare gift." Irry muttered to himself as he turned on his heel and walked in the other direction.
Not knowing where to go, he went back out into the gardens, back by the river branch. Finding the same tree that had attracted him the previous evening, he sat back down under it. But, as if in a replay of last night, something on the other bank caught his eye. Something shining brightly in the early morning sunlight.
Jumping up again, he glared at the object, trying to decide what to do. Should he try to go fetch the item? Or should he just leave it there? The fact that it might have something to do with who Aerin was hit his mind like a blunt knife. In a flash, he decided that it would be better to go and fetch it and see if it could tell him anything about Aerin.
Finding the shallowest part of the river branch, Irry crossed carefully and made his way to the sparkle and shine. It turned out to be two things, not just one. One was a small, silver serpentine dragon figure wound into a circle, eating it's own tail. Irrylath recognized this as one of the signs of eternity. The other object was a single earring, all by itself. The top was a small ebony triangle, around the base there were six or seven little fine chains of the same dark material, at the ends of which hung tiny breaks of rubies. Only a princess was allowed one of these, they were signs of royalty.
Maybe Aerin was the lost princess, and perhaps...... Irry shook his head rather violently, giving himslef a bit of a dizzy spell. No, he didn't even really know Aerin, how could he be falling for her? No, it was nonsense; Aerin was just a girl.
A very beautiful girl and you know it.
Why don't you stop talking to yourself, Irrylath? It can't be good for your health. But the voice sounded female!
Oh, but I'm not yourself. The only reason you don't want to talk about Aerin is because you know that you're falling in love with her.
I don't even know her!
You point being......?
How can I fall in love with a person I don't even know?
Its called love at first sight, you idiot. Recall the swooping sensation in your stomach when you got to carry her all the way to the palace?
Oh, come on; don't call me the idiot! Who believes in love at first sight anymore? It doesn't happen, it's just for tales that mothers will tell their children when it's time to sleep.
Do you doubt the powers of the Goddess of Love? She would not be pleased with the thought that you, Prince Irrylath, a royal, do not believe that she can bestow upon a mortal love at first sight.
I never said that I doubted the Love Goddess, for I don't doubt her power over men. Love is just like a slave master, driving men to their knees and women to do crazy works. Love is the most powerful magic anyone can wield.
You are wise in something areas, and foolish in others. Prince AirHead, you have fallen in love, and you are too proud to admit it! Don't forget what I say, for the same will happen to all with pride. Such as the High Priest Seth, for he has also fallen under the spell of a woman.
He what?! Oh, please, that man or monster, whatever he may be, he cannot love. The word is not even in his vocabulary.
But the felling is in his heart, young one.
Young one? Who in the name of Almighty Ra are you? You are definitely not me, for I would not talk to myself. I cannot carry on a conversation with you if I don't know who you are.
Strange, you seemed to be doing all right until that point.
Just tell me your name.
I am sorry, but that I cannot do for you.
Then why are you here and where did you come from? I've never heard you in my mind before.
That is also something that I may not tell you, though I can tell you that I have something to do with Aerin. And you also have your own mind speaker, but you need to listen to him more often. Farewell, young proud one, for my time with you is up.
But, wait! What if I need to talk to someone?
You have a cousin. And you have your own mind speaker; you only need to learn how to quiet your mind to hear him, as you have done to hear me. He is always in your head. You need to find him.
Now the female voice was gone, all was quiet again, and Irrylath was confused. Getting up from the spot that he had occupied, he crossed the river again and made his way back to his cousin's rooms. He need to talk and not to any second presence in his mind. A real, live human being.
Yami, however, was no where to be found in his rooms, the throne room, or any of the other rooms that Irry would have expected to find him in. After a half an hour, the young prince ran into Anzu.
"Anzu, would you happen to know where my cousin is? I have been looking...." Irry broke off when he saw the look on Anzu's face. She looked so tired, sad and something else Irry couldn't place. "What's the matter, Anzu?"
"Oh, Aerin's just not being a very good patient at all! I can't get her to work with me in anything, she keeps trying to get up, saying she's lost something important." Anzu gave a great sigh. "I don not know where your cousin the pharaoh is, I'm sorry."
"Anzu, take to Aerin, I think that I can help. I found something that I think belongs to her, and it may be what she's trying to get to." Irry said.
He was afraid that Anzu might protest to this, and tries to convince him to give the earring and necklace to her, and she could relay it to Aerin for him. However, Anzu looked to tired to fight anything or anyone, so she just turned around and led him to the room where Aerin was.
Whatever Irrylath had expected to find there, he find that there in her room. Aerin was awake, but her eyes weren't dark anymore, they were more of a soothing violet and they were clouded by silver. Her hair had been brushed, but it was sweaty, and looked as wet as when she had been pulled out of the river. Her cheeks were all red, and she was shaking very hard.
When she turned to look at Irry, he was put into a state of shock. Her eyes.......
