Chapter 14:

Darkness soon swirled around her, the floor giving away as she fell deep within the abyss.

The princess opened her eyes to reveal a brightly lit room. Rays of sunlight spilt across the floor, casting shadows from the pillars to line the distant wall. The sweet fragrance of jasmine and mint floated its way through the room as the young girl sat up in her bed and watched a palace maid exit the room. 'Where am I? Am I in my father's palace? Is this my bedroom?' Her thoughts were all blended together but were broken by the sound of footsteps entering her room. Her gaze rose up to meet cerulean blue eyes. A tall figure draped in priestly robes, glittered with gold and the color blue. In his possession, he held the sacred Millennium Rod. "Seth?" Lost in the admiration of the man, Chris had spoken her question aloud.

"Princess." His voice was elegant, tranquil, and deep. A smile (If you deem it possible for Seth to smile) soon snaked its way across his lips as he slightly bowed in the girl's presence. "You're father is waiting to meet with you in the temple of Ra." Startled by this, she gave Seth a wary look. "Is something wrong, Princess?"

"I, uh," Chris struggled with words. How was she to know where the temple of Ra was? "Sleep has muddled my mind and I don't think I am able to venture there on my own," she said carefully, "Do you think you could take me there?"

A soft chuckle rose from the High Priest which confused her. "Hurry then and get dressed. I'll wait for you at the end of the hall." He turned and left the room, his long cape sweeping against the floor as he went.

Chris struggled amongst the sheets and fell onto the floor of the room. Huffing slightly at her clumsiness, she ran over to the closet and selected a magnificent looking attire and slipped into. Running her fingers through her hair, she quickly ran to meet with Seth.

Chris now stood in the doorway of the Temple of Ra. Casting her gaze within, her eyes feel upon a male figure kneeling before the altar and praying silently to the Sun God. Seth had left her alone with her father and ventured off to join the other priests. Incenses smoke trailed within the Egyptian air around the temple.

"Father?" the princess called out in a soft voice, not wishing to disturb his prayer.

-Atemu's POV-

I woke up early, before Ra had awoken, to travel down to the temple and pray. I suspect some mischief amongst the palace and sought solace amongst the Gods. I should have gone to Ma'at, Goddess of Justice and Truth, but instead went to Ra, the Sun God, god who sustains the life in Egypt. The sun had risen, casting its pale golden rays upon the morning dew. Hours had pasted until one of my priests, my cousin Seth, had passed by. I asked him to retrieve my daughter and to bring her here to meet me. Priestess Isis had mentioned that the magical unbalanced was caused by the very princess of Egypt.

"Father?"

I lingered in my position in front of the altar for a few minutes. I could tell confusion had set in her mind, so I stood up and turned to face her. "Crystal. Is there something you wish to tell me, daughter?" She only shook her head, unsure of herself. I studied her a moment, something wasn't right. She looked and sounded like my daughter, yet there was a huge uncertainty about her.

-Chris' POV-

Watching the way he was staring at me cause me to panic. How was I supposed to react towards him? I wasn't the daughter he knew; I am an intruder from the future! My magical powers soon counterbalanced causing everything to grow dark around me, and the floor to give out once again beneath my feet.

Makki: Sorry for the short chapter. I really try to find time and inspiration to type something up. Read and review. And if no one reviews, then I am not continuing the story. I am tired of not getting feedback. If I get no reviews, I am just going to assume that no one is reading it, and just stop it all together.
