The blue tattoo - True past
Hilary had followed Kai till she caught him up at a forrest, where he was leaning against a tree, his eyes closed and it seemed like if he was in a deep thought about something. Hilary didn´t really know what to do. She didn´t want to disturb him, cause she knew he would get angry, but she also wanted to persuade him to leave Tyson alone, just because he skipped training. She slowly approached him, still not knowing what to do next. When she was standing in front of him, he opened one eye and asked: "What do you want?",in his cold voice. "Ähm. Well,...I just wanted to...",she paused to find the right words, but somehow they wouldn´t come. Kai had to smile. "Sit down.",he told her. "What?" "I said, sit down, cause it seems, that this talk is going to take a bit longer." Hilary just nodded and sat down next to him. She felt her face becoming all red and warm. Now, it was absolutely impossible to say what she wanted to say. "So, do you know now, what you wanted to tell me?",Kai asked not looking at her, but at the city. Hilary waited for a moment, to take all the courage she had and then she said: "I wanted to tell you, that you shouldn´t punish Tyson for skipping the training. It´s for the first time and so..." Kai looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "For the first time?",he asked. Hilary looked down. "Okay. It happened often.",she admitted. "But this time he´s got a good reason.",she added. "You´re talking about your sister, right?" Hilary nodded. "She´s really nice and it´s great to spend time with her. And you can talk with her about anything and..." "I know she´s wonderful.",Kai interrupted her. "How?",Hilary asked shocked. "Well, she´s your sister after all. So she has to be a bit like you." Hilary´s blush grew wider and she turned away to hide it. Kai laughed quietly. "You don´t have to turn around. It´s too late to hide your blush anyway, cause you had it on your face since you sat down next to me." Hilary faced him again. "Really? Why didn´t you tell me then. It´s so embarrassing." "Why? You look beautiful when you blush.",Kai told her looking in her eyes. "Stop looking at me like that.",she said, but she sounded unconvincing to her own ears. "Why?",he simply asked, without looking away. "Cause...cause...I don´t know, but...I...it makes me feel...so...strange...it makes my heart...beat faster and...it makes me...I can´t decribe it. I just want to tell you what I feel when I look in your eyes like that.",Hilary managed to say. "Same here.",she heard him say. "What?",she asked. There was a small smile on Kai´s face. "You definetly think it´s strange that I´m talking like that. Usually I don´t show what I feel, cause I´ve learned that feelings just make you weak. So I tried to kill every emotion I had, but then I met you and a new feeling showed up, one that I just couldn´t fight." "Oh, Kai...I...",Hilary commenced. "No, Hilary. Let me finish, otherwise I´ll never be able to tell you that..." "What?" "That I love you.",Kai said, still looking deep into her eyes. "I love you too Kai. For a long time, I didn´t accept it, but then I realised that I can´t fight it and then I even liked it. But I was never able to tell you, cause I was afraid that you would reject me. And I really cant´t believe it, that suddenly Hathor decided to make my biggest wish come true. I´m really happy, that you feel the same as I do.",she said with a beautiful smile on her face and Kai couldn´t hold himself back from taking her into his strong arms. (I´m so jealous!) Hilary leaned her head on his chest and hugged him back. After a while they let go of each other and looked into oneanother´s eyes again. Slowly their faces got closer and finally they kissed.
At the same time, Tyson and Anjali were still sitting together at the beach and looking at the sea, without knowing that someone was watching them. "I´ve finally found you.",the person said and left his hiding-place. "I´m so happy.",Anjali said and Tyson said: "Me too. I wish we could stay like that every day." Anjali just nodded and Tyson held her tighter. Suddenly they saw Ramses and Nefer looking up and they stood up to see what the horses were looking at. "There´s someone comming towards us.",Anjali said. "Yeah. But who?",Tyson asked. Suddenly the figure appeared from behind a stone. It was a woman, about 30, with a long white egyptian dress and some jewelery. "It´s a priestress from Isis.",Anjali said surprised. "Yes, I am. And I´ve been looking for you.",she said and kneeled down before Anjali. "Stop that! You all know that I don´t like that!",Anjali protested. "But..." "Not buts. I´m nobody special, so there´s no need for that! But tell me, why are you here?" "Everybody´s worried about you, cause you disappeared so quickly. We looked for you everywhere, but we couldn´t find you. But yesterday, the great priestress of Neith finally found out, that you´re in Japan.",the priestress explained, now standing again. "But I thought you all knew, that I´m here." "How should we?" "The great priest of Seth told me to come here. cause he believed, that our worst enemy would be hiding here. I wanted to say goodbye to you, but he said, that I wouldn´t have the time to do that and that he would explain everything.",Anjali said. "But he didn´t tell us anything. In fact, he said, that you disappeared after your last battle and he also said, that it could be possible, that you´re dead. Anyway, since you left, the chaos started taking control over Menfi and soon over all Egypt." "What´s going on? Tell me, please!",Anjali said. "Demons start to appear everywhere and they are even strong enough to break the temple´s force field. Lots of people have died by now and the priests and priestresses try to keep them away from the big cities, but they aren´t strong enough. The dark power will win, if you don´t do anything. Please, you´ve got to return to help us.",the priestress said, her eyes full of sorrow and fear, but also full of hope. Anjali did only pay half attention to what the woman said. "That traitor! I shouldn´t have listened to him. If I only didn´t leave the country, then all this wouldn´t be happening now.",she said. "It´s not your fault, but the priest´s.",Tyson said, who was only listening till then, without understanding anything. "I know. But it doesn´t matter who´s fault it is. The most important thing is, that I return as soon as possible. So let´s go!" "But what about your sister? She´ll have to come too.",the priestress said. "Why? She didn´t fight for nine years. So why should she do it now?",Anjali asked. "You still don´t remember anything, do you?",the priestress asked back. Anjali shook her head, looking confused. "So it´s time to tell you the whole truth about your past." "But we don´t have any time for long stories!",Anjali protested. "We´ll have to take it then, cause without knowing the truth you won´t be able to beat our enemy anyway." "What do you mean with that?",Tyson asked. "You´ll see that. First we have to find Hilary, so I can tell you everything." Tyson and Anjali looked at each other. Should they trust this woman? After a second they decided to do so and so they gave back the horses and returned to the dojo, where they waited for the others to come back.
Kai and Hilary arrived just 20 minutes later and were surprised to find Tyson and Hilary at the dojo and they were even more surprised when they saw the egyptian priestress. "Who´s that?",Kai asked. "That´s a priestress from Egypt and she´s going to reveal Anjali´s and Hilary´s true past.",Tyson said. "What?!",Kai and Hilary asked at the same time and looked at the priestress who just nodded. They went to the living room, where they sat down around the table. The priestress, who was called Merikara, told Kai and Hilary what she had told Tyson and Anjali before and then she started with Anjali´s and Hilary´s story: "You two were found in the temple of Isis when you were still little babys. You were raised by a priestress called Mintaka. As soon as you learned how to walk, you started to use magic. The priestresses didn´t know, what they should do, so they decided to ask the goddess Isis for help and then the strangest thing happened. The great goddess materialized herself in front of them and told them why you were born." "What? Stop telling fairytales.",Anjali said. "The great Isis would never materialize herself, just to tell somebody what they should do with two babys." "But it´s true.",Merikara insisted. "Sorry, but I can´t believe that einther.",Hilary said. Suddenly the light went out and all the doors and windows shut by themselves. And then, a light appeared and after some seconds it took the form of a beautiful woman with a long white dress, long black hair, big dark brown eyes and a golden crown with the symbol of Isis on it. Merikara immediately fell on her knees. Tyson, Kai, Anjali and Hilary just stared at the woman, who was looking at the two girls with such a warm look, that the two felt, like if they knew her for years. "My little girls, what this priestress says is the truth. I really showed myself to tell them, why you´re on earth." "Oh Ra! It´s the great goddess Isis!",Anjali and Hilary said shocked. "Yes. It´s me. It´s been such a long time. You really became two beautiful yound woman. And who are these yound men there?",she asked. exactly knowing the answer. Anjali and Hilary had to blush. Isis smiled. "Oh, I understand. I would really like to talk longer, but like you know, there´s no time for that. I want to finish Merikara´s story, cause I see, that you don´t really believe her. I showed up to tell the priestresses your mission. You were born to fight the demons and to destroy their leader. You were send to this time, where you lived together with Mintaka far away in the desert, to train. But then Mintaka became ill and she gave you away to your "parents". Although they were just normal people, who didn´t have anything to do with our time and religion I accepted that they could take care of you, as long as they would let you follow your mission. Of course, you didn´t remember anything since the day you came to this time. And after that you know what happened." "What do you mean with "send to this time"?",Tyson asked. "Well, young man, originally Anjali and Hilary are from ancient Egypt, but the danger in that time was too big, so they were send to the future. Here, they should grow up and train for the battle against the darkness. After their training they should return to the past, but it seems, like if the dark powers were faster. They showed up in this time, before the end of their training." "There´s another thing I want to know, that isn´t of importance for the battle, but for me. Isis, who are our real parents?",Anjali asked. A warm smile appeared on Isis´ face. "Ra, the great god of Egypt, is your father and I am your mother.",she told them. Kai, Hilary, Tyson and Anjali opened their eyes in shock. "What?",they all asked. "It´s the truth. At first we wanted to keep you with us, but then we decided, that someone should finally do something against the devil on earth. It was really hard to give you away and it was even harder for us to erase your memory, because till you came here, you knew, that you two were goddesses. And now, that you remember, you shlould be able to use your full strengh and to open the gate to the past. Finish your destiny and then come back to us. Please return to Egypt as soon as possible. The blue tattoo on your arms will guide you. Your father and I are waiting for you. Now I have to go. Goodbye my beloved daughters." And with that she kissed Anjali and Hilary on the forhead and then she vanished. And also Merikara disappeared after she had promised to come back in two days to bring them to Menfi. And so Tyson, Anjali, Kai and Hilary were alone in the room. Nobody talked, cause everybody was thinking about what just had happened. Suddenly Kai and Hilary stood up and left the room.
"I still can´t believe, that I´m sitting next to a goddess.",Tyson finally said. Anjali looked up at him. "But that doesn´t change anything for you, does it?",she asked. "Of course not.",he said and put his arm around her and she leaned her head on his shoulder again.
Meanwhile outside Kai was holding Hilary thight and she said: "I always wanted to know my true past, but I didn´t believe, that it would be like this." "Since your sister showed up, I knew that there was something strange about you, but I also didn´t expect you to be a goddess." "But I´m still the same." "I know. My feelings won´t change, even if you were something else." "Thank you Kai.",Hilary said and they kissed again.
When the others came back, they got to know the whole story as well and then everybody prepared to go to Egypt.
