Chapter 1 The Sisters

"Arianna where are you?" a voice echoed down a hallway to reach a young woman's ears.

The young woman sighted and turned in the direction of the voice just in time to see her breathless sister running straight for her. "Tatiana slow down or you'll fall and hurt yourself again. We don't want father to have another seizure." The young woman named Arianna smiled at Tatiana who was still huffing from her recent exertions.

Tatiana was now 18 years old and daughter to the Pharaoh of Egypt. She had pretty shoulder length black hair and brown eyes that were usually dancing with merriment but were now dimmed with worry. "We have to get to the throne room quickly or we'll be late for the ceremony," she said, causing Arianna to sigh.

Stormy gray eyes locked with brown and Tatiana felt like her mind was being read. A conversation from long ago flashed through her mind like the deadly cobra leaving a trail in its wake.

Flashback

"Mama why does Arianna look so different from everybody?" an eight-year-old version of Tatiana asked her mother.

Kamilah looked at her daughter and sighed deeply. "I think it's time you learned the truth me little one. Arianna is not mortal like us but a child of the gods."

Tatiana looked at her mother in confusion, "I thought that papa is a god and doesn't that mean we're god children?" Kamilah shook her head. "Your father is only a messenger for the gods. Arianna was given to us from the gods and we are meant to protect her until her time comes.

She will always be different and special. Don't let that frighten you though and don't tell her about what she is. When the time is right she will learn about her powers and their purpose. Just like us mortals."

End Flashback

Tatiana had never forgotten that conversation. She had avoided Arianna a bit after that but soon came to realize that no matter what she was, Arianna would always be like her older sister.

While Tatiana was lost in thought Arianna was thinking about the same thing. Why am I so different?

Arianna didn't look like anybody in Egypt. Her looks were unique and known throughout the whole country; in fact she was renown over the whole continent. She had waist length light brown hair with strands of gold sprinkled throughout her hair. She had a finely sculpted face. Perfectly arched eyebrows, and long eyelashes that framed odd eyes that changed color to fit her mood. A small pert nose and full rose red lips.

She was about five feet six inches with a curvaceous hourglass figure. Unlike the ladies of the court she wore no make-up or jewelry except for her birth right pendant and a delicate gold ring shaped into a desert lily that Tatiana had given to her for her fifteenth birthday. Her clothes were also very simple, nothing like the gaudy and revealing clothes that the court ladies wore. She only wore a simple silk dress that was pinned up on her right shoulder, leaving her other one bare.

Even in all her simplicity she shone like the sun. Radiant and commanding to all whom were swept into her presence.

Tatiana and Arianna were soon struck from their thoughts when the deep ringing of a gong swept through the palace grounds. "Oh no we're late!" shouted Tatiana.

Arianna only laughed at her worried little sister. "What are you complaining about. I'm the one who's going to get into trouble if I miss my ceremony. Besides. I still have to change into the ceremonial clothes."

Both raced down hallways trying to get to the royal wing of the palace. Arianna's suite of rooms was right next to Tatiana's. They had a connecting door to their rooms and since Tatiana's room was closest they went through her rooms.

Once inside of the room she dived into her closet and started to madly fling clothes onto the marble floor. "Where in the name of Ra did I put those clothes!" she shouted in desperation. If only she had stopped her mad search to look at her bed. She would've seen her sister silently laughing like a maniac holding up a golden dress.

After a few minutes of futile searching Arianna collapsed onto the floor and had a mental breakdown. "Where did I put that dratted gown? Where!" Tatiana finally had enough and decided to pity her poor sister.

"Um…Ari? By any chance are these the clothes?"

Turning around to look at her sister she saw the ceremonial clothes in her arms. "You…you…Argh! Forget it, there are no words to describe how evil you are. Just toss me the clothes."

Tatiana laughed even harder at her sister's miserable state and decided to take pity on her. Tossing the clothes to her she ran into her own room to change into her ceremony clothes as well. As part of the royal family she was required to wear garb similar to her sister's.

A few minutes later Tatiana walked into Arianna's room and stopped in shock. I always forget how shockingly beautiful she can be when she needs to dress up, she thought to herself.

Arianna was dressed in the ceremonial clothes of the royal family. It consisted of a sheer gold overskirt with another darker gold layer under it. It went down to her ankles and had slits going up to mid-thigh that would allow her to move freely during the ceremony. Her top was an off the shoulder creation that only went to under her breasts showing off her well toned stomach and tan arms.

Her hair was half up and half down. The top portion was held in place with a gold clip styled into a lotus blossom. Her eyes, which were now a sparkling shade of sapphire, were also lined in gold and her face held traces of glittery powder. All in all she was simply stunning.

"Ari…I don't know what to say. You look beautiful!"

Arianna just rolled her eyes at her sister's comment while pulling her out of the room. "I'm not suppoused to look beautiful. This outfit has been in the family for the gods only knows how long. I'm amazed that it's not ripped or damaged. They must have put a pretty strong spell on it. Now hurry or we're going to be late."

Both sisters ran to the throne room where the ceremony was going to be held not knowing what would soon happen in both of their lives.
