Thanks fish and chips for your review, it's my very first one so I'm really happy!
Well, on to the next chapter!
"Your highness! Your highness!"
"What's wrong Simon?"
"The guards have just reported an attack!"
"An attack? From which country? How big was their army?"
"Eh…….it was just one person, a girl."
"A girl? Are my guards that easy to defeat?"
"I'm sorry sire, but that's all I heard."
"Hhmm…well, this girl might cause trouble to our villagers. I think it's best if we send some "good guards" to her, to bring her here."
"Alright my Pharaoh, I'll arrange everything."
"Thank you Simon."
back to Akina
/I hope I will get there in time without any other interruptions. /
As she was riding, she saw the city of Cairo on the horizon. She begged for Sakura to run as fast as she could.
/Hang on dad, I'm coming. /
in town…
"Please, Raykin! Hang on, Akina will be here soon to try and help you!" A woman said.
She had long black hair and was slightly tanned. She sat on the ground with next to her a bed
Where a man lay. He was looking rather pale tough he, as his wife, had a tanned skin colour.
Raykin had brown hair and brown eyes.
"Shinara, if I do not survive this disease, I want you to move to Akina's village and continue with your live."
"Raykin! You're not going to die! We will stay together, as a happy family."
"There is an end to everything, my love. I just want you to go on. Only then I will rest in peace, knowing that you and Akina have a happy live together."
"Don't worry, I'll look after Akina. I will do as you say and go live with her."
"Thank you."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Shinara went to open it.
"Akina! Oh thank god you're here; your father is in very critical condition"
"Don't worry mom, I'm here now and I'm going to look after him."
They walked over to the bed, where the sick man lay.
"Dad? Are you alright?"
"Akina, I am glad you are here."
"Don't worry, I'm going to look after you, you're going to be just fine, I promise."
"Do not make promises you can't follow."
"But dad, I will cure you."
"No, it is my time to go. The Gods think so and I will obey them. I had a good live; I met some of the kindest people in town, and have a lovely wife and a beautiful daughter. My life just couldn't get any better. My last wish is that you two will be very happy together and that you will be careful."
Akina's mother began to cry. Akina herself was overwhelmed. What should she do? She wanted to cure her father, but wasn't sure if she would be able to.
So she would just have to sit there and wait for her father to die? Well, she knew one thing for sure; she was going to be with him till the very end.
"Now, now, don't cry Shinara. It's not that I will leave you forever. I will always be there for you when you need me, right in your heart."
With those words he felt his live slipping away.
"We love you" Akina said with tears in her eyes.
Her father was dying and she couldn't do anything about it. Then she saw that her father wasn't breathing anymore. He died.
The next morning
Akina and her mother decided to do as Raykin told them to. They would be going to Akina's town in a couple of days. They needed food and other supplies for their journey and Akina's mother wanted to say goodbye to a few friends of her.
At the moment Akina's mother was washing some clothes in the Nile which was right next to her house. Raykin was taken to a mortuary after Akina and her mother said farewell.
Akina was feeding the horses to make them strong and wealthy for the long journey.
When everything was done, they where ready to go. They mounted their horses and rode off.
While they were riding through the city, Shinara said goodbye to some people she knew.
Akina thought about what she was going to say to her sister. Her little sister couldn't come with her because she had to work. Akina's family was very poor just like almost the rest of Egypt. And now, with Raykin gone, they had to work even harder. It wasn't though work they had to do, but still hard.
Suddenly she heard a man call her name. She looked around and saw some guards walking their direction. She rolled her eyes. What did they want this time?
"Are you Akina, the one who arrived yesterday and knocked off some of the palace guards?"
Akina's mother looked surprised at her daughter but decided to say nothing. Akina sighed.
"Yes" she answered shortly.
The guards glanced at each other.
"Then we have to take you with us, the Pharaoh wishes to speak with you."
"Did you really think that I would come with you out of free will?" Akina said to them calmly.
The guards were looking rather pale at her comment; they obviously had heard what happened to their colleagues.
"You will come with us now." One of the guards said firmly.
"No" Akina said back. /I don't have time for this shit…/ she thought.
"Then we will have to force you" the same guard said. They pulled their swords and were gaining on Akina and her mother.
Akina glanced at her mother who was looking terrified. Akina couldn't let them harm her mother in any way. She jumped of her horse and pulled out her sword.
The guards whimpered, they were scared as hell. Akina found it rather funny; their weak point was fear of a girl.
"Brace yourselves, cause I'm about to rip you apart" she teased.
The guards were slightly taken aback. Akina smirked at their reaction.
She leapt at them with full speed. Two of the guards jumped away, but the other two reacted too late and got themselves slashed in their arms. They fell down in pain. The two who jumped away used the time to whirl around and leap at Akina.
Akina ducked and rolled out of their reach. One of them ran towards her and tried to hit her with his sword. However Akina blocked his attack with her own sword. They kept trying to hit each other and blocking attacks.
Akina stepped backwards to block one of his attacks and felt something solid on her back. She assumed it was a wall. The guard stomped her in the stomach and caused her to drop her sword. Then he wrapped his hands around her throat.
Akina choked and her sight became blurry. She tried to struggle out of his grasp but to no use.
He was way to strong…
"Let her go!"
Who would that be?...You wanna know? Review and I will post the next chapter.
