~Chapter 12 – Just A Dream~

Belle

"Ra-nefer-u!" Nekht yells out, reaching to catch her but failing, as she tumbles to the sand, the priest's arrows still soaring through the air. He reins in his horse, jumping off and running to the fallen princess. He slowly lifts her up and checks her pulse. It is slow and faint; he gives a strangled yell of frustration. The young woman moans and cries out in pain; hot flashes of white cloud her vision as the pain worsens when she tries to move. Nekht shushes her and looks at the wound; the arrow was broken off half way from her fall and stuck further into her skin deep and bleeding profusely.

"Don't try to move your highness; you are hurt very badly." He looks up to see that the priest has turned back their horses and ridden off into the distance.

"N-Nekht it hurts s-so much p-please… make the pain g-go away p-please…"


I sat up in bed gasping for air, terrified. As I recognized my whereabouts, I tried to calm my racing heart by taking deep breaths. After so many years and now the dreams wanted to resurface. I swept my hair from my face rubbing my eyes and climbed out of bed. It had been three days since Evy and I showed the map to the curator. The small puzzle box that the map was found in sat on my nightstand. I had been having the same dream for two nights… it was the first of the strange dreams that had begun all those years ago. I grabbed my dressing robe from the end of the bed and pulled it over my shoulders tying the sash tightly and walked to the small balcony that was attached to my small apartment. I had rented this place when I got back on my feet a few months after starting work at the museum. I had spruced up the rundown place with some new paint and warm natural tones of furniture throughout the place. I liked my bedroom especially because of the bed. I had ordered it specially made, it took up most of the room but it was big and made of polished wood and had the best Egyptian cotton sheets I could afford, with red and white pillows. It was the only room that did not follow the natural brown and tan colors of the palette I had chosen for my home. The walls were pained a bright white with white carpeted floors. My vanity was the same deep polished wood as the bed and had a tall mirror on top of it; my perfumes and lotions lay neatly across it. I had a full bath connected to the room, white tiled, with an ebony claw footed tub and brass handles on the sink… it was completely different than what I began with. I could enjoy my home and come back to relax in my only place of peace and solitude; though the solitude did get a bit lonely sometimes. During those times, like now, I thought back to that day in the desert with my grandfather… how I wished he was still here. How I wished we had never come to Egypt, maybe he would still be alive and smiling at me and laughing over afternoon tea. I closed my eyes and let the cool air brush my face. It was still dark out and the city was still silent in sleep. I pulled away from the railing, and sat down in one of the two chairs I had out on the balcony. My mind began to drift to Ardeth. I wondered what the tall, dark warrior was up to. Had he gone back to his people or was he still standing guard over the lost city? I don't know how long I sat there before sleep claimed me again.


"Belle…" It begins as a soft whisper and grows louder "Belle it's time…" I open my eyes to see myself floating in a sea of light "Ra-nefer-u…" the voice whispers. "That name… I have heard it before. Who's there and why do you call me by that name?" A sudden flash of light blinds me and I block it out with my arm before it dims. I am standing in a room that looks as old as the sands of Egypt. It is brightly lit with an open space and it looks like a throne room. Three thrones sit upon the dais and in the three thrones sit three very different women. In the first throne on the far right sits a bronze skinned woman with a deep red beaded dress, almost the color of blood. She has dark hair; and a golden crown upon her head, with a sun disk being held by two cow horns and a snake in the middle of the sun. She was very beautiful and has a soft and gentle air about her and her dark eyes twinkle with joy. The woman on the far left throne is dark skinned and has the head of a cat. Her eyes are bright green, shining out against her black fur. She wears a dress the color of the Nile veiled in night, and a necklace with the eye of wedjet rests against her breast. She sits tall in her chair and has a calm but stern expression. In the middle throne is a woman with pale skin that shines with moonlight and her hair is dark and long. Her gaze is motherly and as blue as the skies. She wears a beaded dress of light blue and white cloth that flows about her feet. Upon her head sits a tall headdress in the shape of a throne that is a beautiful gold and bronze color. All three of these magnificent and beautiful women smile, and the one in the middle says in welcome "Hello Ra-nefer-u… or Belle, as you know yourself. We meet at last." Before me sit Hathor, Bastet, and Isis the three Goddesses of Egypt. 'This has to be a dream.'
