Goddess: Arianna has left to keep tabs on the Hellboy story. It's called Cry of the Wolf if you want to look into it. We also apologize for the lengthy delay. Our computer fried and we had to buy a part.. well I did.. .

Cally: We don't own the story. Dushu is currently out, attempting to get three stories in order so we can put those up as well. Check out our profile for updates in stories that are upcoming.

Goddess: Umm, there is a bit of a repeat in some of the dialogue, but hey, it's a different POV...

?

I had no idea where I was, or even what I had been doing only moments before. Things were so strange. I felt so strange. My last thought before I succumbed to darkness was 'who am I?'

I awoke next in a tent. I was laying on a mat, still partially covered in a desert shawl. I aw a man, dark haired and stormy eyed. All at once so foreign, yet so familiar.

"I know your face." I said, unaware it was aloud, and he could hear me.

He asked me my name, but I could not answer. I did not know my own name. For a moment I doubted I had one at all, but that was ridiculous. Everyone ever born had a name. Then he spoke of the tribal markings of the Medjai that I bore on my face, and the markings along my arms as well.

Then a woman came in, and all but ordered the man out. She peered at me, only for a moment, then approached. She examined me where I now sat. she was surprised to see the tattoos on my arms, as was I. She had frowned, obviously thinking of something beyond myself.

"Do I truly bear the markings of a Medjai?" I asked.

"That you do my dear." She said. "See for yourself."

She had a reflective object in her hand, a mirror. I looked into it and was surprised by my own face. Then I noticed something at my collar. I moved a bit more to see it, another tattoo. Just barely visible under the garment I wore. They were all small tattoos. Similar to that the man had himself. On a woman, they would look attractive if put on the right way, and the way mine were done was rather appealing to me.

"What is this?" I asked.

"The jackals head. You're marked as differently as the other Medjai tribes. This proves that Anubis has something in store for you, his hand protects you. Or it is perhaps some clue as to your origin." She said.

"I do not think it is Anubis that protects me. Perhaps one of his kin not spoken of?" I murmured.

"I'm going to have food brought in, don't let Ardeth get to you. He needs something simple like this to happen every once in a while, otherwise he's always out protecting the world from a corpse that has risen recently, and should never again. After that battle, you should do him some good." The woman said bustling out.

I heard her taking with the man she called Ardeth Bay. It sounded like they were arguing. Then he came in. For a moment I was scared he would begin shouting at me. Emotions crossed his face in a flash. It was as if they hadn't been there at all.

When I spoke, he watched me like the hawk in the corner of his tent. He again asked me my name. I felt so hollow within, I couldn't tell him. I didn't know it. I wanted to so badly, but I had no name it seemed. I felt like crying.

"I.. I don't know my name. I feel as if I never had one. I guess you could say I am the nameless one." I said.

I don't know why I said it, but he seemed more wary of me than ever before. I felt like breaking down and sobbing, but that wouldn't do in front of him. I don't know why I said it, except to try to lighten the mood. It didn't work all that well. I don't think he'll ever accept me now.

"Who am I?" I whispered, holding back tears.

I wished to run out into the encroaching dark, run until my legs could not move, and then let the desert take me. But I was not strong enough to run outside, let alone into the desert. And it seems it didn't work before, since I had been found out in the desert, and that was what brought on this predicament. Suddenly food was brought in, and I realized how hungry I was. I looked at him wishing to know I could eat something.

He just nodded, and allowed me to sit. The woman handed me a small plate of something. I knew I should know what it was, but I couldn't remember. A part of me kept an eye on Ardeth, while I took small bites and chewed slowly. Something in me knew what could happen if I were to just eat instead of keeping my stomach in line. Ardeth might have stopped me, but I wasn't so sure. I felt his eyes on me throughout the entire time.

When I sat down the remains of the tiny meal, it was whisked away and I turned my full attention back on the Medjai. There was much questioning in his eyes. I felt anxious of what he would ask. I kept my eyes on him, feeling weary all of a sudden.

"Come, I will take you to a tent you may sleep in." Ardeth said.

I was surprised, but I felt so exhausted. I would have followed, but my body was refusing to listen. I felt him pick me up swiftly. I closed my eyes and fell into a blissful sleep.

I noticed that this last chapter had a lot of issues with spelling, more of it was my fault than the coding it goes through when I upload it. I'm sorry for the issues, but I've fixed them in all chapters, and if someone finds a misspelled work (meaning like Humnaptra and Humndai) please let me know the right spelling. I'm using Japanese phonics, and that's how I spell the Egyptian words.
