In a ship coming from the Great kingdom of Greece headed towards the Egyptian capital Cairo.. A beautiful young lady with short brown hair and brown sad eyes dressed in A long white dress with gold fabric railed on its edges and its waist, held to her small, thin body by only one of her shoulders showing the other, with only one gold needle to hold it in place, a golden small crown with red crystals all over decorates her head making her hair and eye color come out more.
She sits in her empty, depressing, dark chamber in the under docks.. her cheeks still wet from previous tears.. her eyes are puffy and red.. although she stopped her crying but her heart still aches as thinking of a way out of her dilemma..
"For the love of Ra, cease this nonsense and stop your weeping!!, We have talked about this more than once.. You are a Princess and you serve your country no matter the cost" The girl's mother enters the room without notice to yell at her now started to cry again daughter.. The mother sighs in tiredness then approach her daughter with now calm and reassuring sound to her voice holding her hands
"The Greek-Egyptian trade relationship haven't been at its best lately.. and this matter must be fixed for the good of Greece.. please.. this is a small sacrifice to be made" The princess gets up from her seat letting go of her mother's warm caring hands to stand in-front of the one of the windows crossing her arms yelling as tears now steam fast down her face
"And instead of sending the Pharaoh gifts or negotiate enhancing the relations with officials.. You force me to marry his son whom I don't know and never met before, making me your bargaining chip, an object with no feelings or opinions and forcing me to leave my beloved behind???!"..
Her mother loses her temper again and starts arguing
"We don't have the finances to send gifts Fitting a Pharaoh, Enchasing the trade Here and Now with Egypt is the only way to save our Kingdom from falling.. You are our only Child and You must take the throne after your father, and The Prince is also an only child and he will be busy with his own Lands.. leaving You to Rule Greece in His name, You think anyone will allow a Woman on the throne even if its her birth right??.. Not to mention your marriage will give us Great positions and qualities inside Egypt for future plans ahead.. Its been decided!, you have a bright future!, What are you crying for?, to ugly your face?!!!".the young princess now falls to her knees sopping and weeping as loud as she could feeling as powerless as she could ever be, she doesn't want the power or the position.. she only wishes to live with her loved one in peace.. But now she is to become the Queen of all Egypt with duties and formalities.. and very shortly she must be with child.. from a man she practically hates.. she thinks once about this and is struck by lightning wiping the thought of her head.. it can't be.. she can't be forced to court him.. never.. why can't her mother understand or feel her.. her fate was sealed and her future was being decided for her.. she thinks of her beloved and cries even harder knowing she will never see him again, she will spend the rest of her life with another man whom she now despises and fears, He must never care what happens to her country or her.. he must have endless numbers of women with various shapes and colors waiting to get as much as a glance of him, why won't he choose one or a thousand of them and leave her be.. he can even marry or court all of them.. why force a girl who wants nothing of him.. he must want to get his dirty hands on all.. she knows almost nothing about him but she makes assumptions with only information she has, she now keens in her heart so much hate toward him..
Her mother kneels next to her taking her in her arms
"My daughter please stop.. I hate to see you like this.. You are the most beautiful princess only worth of A Pharaoh as a husband.. remember your love and loyalty to your country and accept this" she takes her daughter's face between her hands and wipes her tears away smiling at her.. only getting a begging sad eyes from her daughter
"You know, I heard The Prince of Egypt is the most handsome man you will ever lay your eyes on ehh!!" The mother tries to cheer her daughter just a little, only She cries harder just hearing of him
"Ahh, Rumors say the Pharaoh's health are not at best.. and he is to leave our world soon, leaving his throne to his son.. You will be the Queen of all Egyptian and its neighboring kingdoms" She only cries more murmuring "P..p..please mother don't d..do t..this to me.. Please d..don't make m..me" tilting her head down more making her mother let go of her in frustration..
The Greece Emperor Alexander the Fourth enters the room to this scene his hands behind his back and head tilted high, both of the ladies stand to their feet in respect..
Princess Tea keeps her head down hiding her puffy, crying face from the man who made her decisions for her trying not to show disapproval..
"We are inside the Egyptian delta now.. Its less than a Day till we arrive to the capital gates.. Wipe your tears now and draw your usual beautiful smile.. Your future husband can't see you for the first time like this" he informes them with the latest updates and prints a kiss on his daughter's forehead and walks out with his wife leaving her in sorrow to get ready for her fate...
-Egypt ,Cairo
A young man with tanned skin deeply affected by the Egyptian harsh sun with Purple crimson eyes hidden behind his gold bangs dressed in dirty commoner's clothes laying by the Nile shore early in the morning in a tree's shade watching the clouds head north one after another hearing the sound of nile water calming his minds, he drifts his eyes watching kids play and run around innocently on both shores, staying in his dreamy thoughts..
His relaxation is cut off by the loud sound of the palace horns that could be heard from any where in the capital marking the beginning of a new busy day.. and the start of his day..
He stretches his body and rubs his temples getting up headed to the capital's city market walking around looking at various goods of fruits, vegetables gadgets, flowers and many others, checking their quality and their prices.. he helps a couple of elderly men with setting up their stands who thank him as they are used on the young man showing up everyday to watch the market help people take a look around, never buy anything and disappear, he bites into an apple he was offered after wiping it with his clothes..
he is eyed by many of the girls in the market who only dare to stare.. his body is clean and his clothes are dreadful, not a single dime with him but very rich looking.. which made him very suspicious to commoners.. he plays football with some kids, a little girls approach him and say their Hies.. he heads towards a lady's shop
"Made your notes for today young man" the lady stands from a window asks him in suspicion with her nose held high, hands on her waist in a questioning matter, her eyes had too much kohl around them wearing a black tight dress defining her body and black scarf above her long dark black hair.. he only answers with a laugh
"Good morning to you too Rose" he has a very manly voice still biting off his apple while taking a seat next to her window crossing his clean legs..
"How are the sales?" He asks never looking at her
"Well Iron made gadgets are the best as you see, so I will say pretty good.. Definitely will pray thanks to her tonight.." she says pointing to the metal gadgets she made her self, then to the Goddess temple mear the royal Palace... he smiles sadly knowing well who she will pray to..
"Do that why don't ya, You never cease to surprise me Rose, such delicate hands can do such a manly job and make such beautiful tools" he says finally looking at her getting closer to her face with voice full of flirtation, holding both her hands, She smiles and pushes him away in shyness knowing well he is joking "Stop Youuu!!" He laughs then walks away "Will I ever learn your name?!" She yells her last question loudly
"One day" he yells back finishing off his apple then takes a look at the sun, raises an eyebrow and start running towards the spot under the tree again where he takes off his dirty clothes and hid them under the tree and pull out his royal tonic then entering a passage downwards next to the tree..
He reaches the palace in no time thanks to the Secret tunnels he discovered as a child, he enters his champers walking into his private bathroom washing off.. ready to act like the Prince that he is..
-Dining room
"You are late!!, These are no actions of a Prince close to A Pharaoh" He is greeted by his uncle's angry looks and loud voice that he is used on by now and only smiles upon.. be bows down to his father
"Good morning your Majesty, Uncle".. "Good morning son, you look refreshed today.. if only I know what takes you this much time.." "Probably the hair your majesty" Duke of The prince's officials answers the Pharaoh's wonders with his mouth full of food making the table laugh.. the Pharaoh kneels towards his son Now siting next to him and whispers "Stop ignoring your uncle and mentor.. it angers him greatly.. and stop being late!!" He orders him specifying the last one, he receives a smile from his young son followed by
"Yes your Highness"
The Pharaoh looks up holding his drink up signaling an announcement
"We got word from the Delta gates, Our Greek visitors are less than a day away.. The Prince's awaited wife is to be here soon" all the officials smile, clap and congratulate the prince and his father.. but Atem meets their gazes with a fake worried smile..
-The Throne room
"Father, we never had the chance to analyze this and talk further.. why did you arrange my marriage?!".. his father was busy looking through some scrolls and reading stats.. he looked at him from the corner of his eyes raising an eyebrow as he speaks..
"You know exactly why I arranged your marriage Atem.. you have been of age for the last 3 years.. you court very rarely and if you do, you make sure not to impregnate and even some of the girls you send back!!" Atem cheeks turned bright red learning his father new of his -personal- affairs..
"Son, I am not in best health and I can feel it close, I won't be staying with you forever, I need to organize for your coronation and I have this last wish of seeing you settled with a woman of my choice and may be even see your child before I leave for the after life" his father says looking into his son's eyes almost tearing up
"It won't be long now until I join your mother".. Atem holds his father's hands
"I will do as you wish father, please don't worry your self with me.. I will be fine I am not the scared child anymore.. Please care for your health..!" The Pharaoh only pats his son's hands and gets back to his work.. making Atem sighs and looks away.. as he is not ready to lose yet another parent.. nor is he ready to become husband or father and most importantly Pharaoh!!
- In a ship coming from The village of Rice patties(dont judge my naming please xD) to the Capital.. there sat a girl with a very short dress barley covering her thighs, her body was carved and defined perfectly which showed her good physic and strong build.. as she was an obvious Kyoshi warrior, she was focused on a scroll between her hands studying every word in it.. ignoring the noise surrounding her.. "I cannot waaaaittt!! We are going to the capital!!!" Said the overly excited girl Mana.. "Not only are we going to the capital, We are gustes of the Pharaoh him self" Said Cornelia the over proud one, "You do realize this is not a vacation, We are travailing to study our mentor's scrolls, pay our respects, visit the spiritual sights and tombs while training, right?.." said the more subtle minded Katrina.. "Speak for your self sugar, We will be living in the same palace as The Prince and all of his officials.. this is going to be interesting" this time spoke the flirty one with her narrow dreamy eyes Nina.. "To be honest that is what I am looking forward to.. Isn't That right Etmu?, You've got some good plans of your own don't yaa!, Girls The prince is officiallyyyy taaaaaken" Said Euphy the teaser one with her high bitches voice catching her friend's attention, She rolls in her seat looking towards her friend while resting her head on her balms, she teases her friend with winking eyes in the middle of the ohs and ahs spreading around.. Etmu only raises an eyebrow never leaving her scroll.. she sighs and closes it.. "Yes the Prince IS taken.. will be attending his engagement party in two weeks, and his Fiancée is a Greek Princess.. And also Yes I have plans of my own, I must pay my respect to my god mother and mentor and OF Course my god brother.. I don't have much time and we mustn't be heavy guests" she says laying back and crossing her hands and legs.. "God Brother pffff, yeah right!!" Nina scoffs still teasing her friend.. "Guys stop he basically raised me.. for the the first 5 years of my life he was my only friend, and he taught me so much" she adjusted her sitting trying to talk any sense into them.. "Why did you leave any ways, wasn't it best for all kyoshi warriors to stay in the capital?" Asked Katrina
"It was.. but sadly.. After her Highness Passed on.. The high Commander's power became unmatched.. She was the only one capable of facing him.. He ordered an end to the Kyoshi warriors training using their leader's death as an excuse, and the Egyptian army's need for training grounds.. I was too weakened by my friend and leader death, beside my pregnancy and raising the young prince.. I was unable to stand my grounds.. that's why the Kyoshi warriors returned to The Rice patties to continue their training where it started in the first place.. I had to go back to them as their acknowledged leader years later.. but I had to complete my tasks first"
all the girls rise to their feet in respect at the entrance of their leader she answered her warrior's question, she never looked any of them as the told her story looking outside a window into empty space..
"But Mrs Esmeralda, You came home only 5 years after what about the prince?" Mana asked with worry filled eyes.. "I was forced to leave when he was 8 Years of age.. It was too early and he was young, scared and small.. but his father decided that He must start training.. there was nothing I could do.. after all I am not his real mother.. I had to return to my home, to my family, and Train the forces.. but I paid the ultimate price that day leaving my son at the high Commander's mercy.. I couldn't reaching him until he was 15 capable of writing me himself.."
She remembers The day she left, she saw that terrified look in his eyes once again the first time was his mother's death.. he cried like it was his end begging and blaming himself, his eyes were full of fear asking for forgiveness for what ever he had done.. he became a troubled child, who watched two mothers leave him twice in the same life time, she looked down clutching her teeth and fists in self guilt and disgrace, "She was wise and smart.. that was the most stupid thing she had ever done.. leaving her only son in this young age and this state" She blames her late old friend, the 7 girls were saddened by the miserable story of The Prince's childhood.. she turns around finally looking at everyone of them with a wide smile on her face.. "But I return now to see the man he has become.. to watch him become Pharaoh.."
