After a hard day of training on the board the ship
"pheeeew.. I am exhausted I can't even left my arms" mana falls to the ground dropping her warrior fans next to her ready to fall asleep.. "Mrs Esmeralda never goes easy of us ehh!!" Katrina lefts her self up to stretch her muscles..
"Girrrlssss!! To the left" they all run to the left edge excited to see what Cornelia called for.. There is the shallow waters near the shore 7 men swim in the middle of the nile splashing each other, cursing around and practicing.. one of them tall with emotionless expressions and very blue eyes sits out side the water with a book in his hand.. the rest in the water 5 playing around like children, one with purple distinctive eyes sinking his face in the water leaving is eyes outside to watch the others.. "Do you think they are army men?"
"They are Indeed Training Kisara.. there is only one way of know for sure"
"NO!! Quite down Nina, Mother would be furious if we eve..." Etmu tries to stop Nina from even thinking about talking to these boys
"YOOOOHOOOOO, HEEELLOOO THERE HANDSOME BOYSS!!" Euphyy yells grabbing all of their attention.. Nina burst out laughing as they all hide.. Euphyy pulls her body up in her small training clothes catching more of their attention..
"Well hello there beautiful, tell your friends to come out, we can see you~!!" Duke the one with irresistible charms swims closer to their ship waving his hands,
"That fair skin and distinctive beauty, I bet they are Aswans" Kalim whispers to the purple eyed one
"I bet you a 50 gold coins they are Luxors, eh Seth?" laughs the joker one Tristin talking to the one outside the waters who only scoffs not even lifting his eyes..
"Neither of you is correct, Its clear as Ra's beams they are Rice Patties, that strong build that allows her to stand freely in such positions.. Kyoshi warriors" scoffs the wise one Shady..
"Well thanks for ruining the fun!" Kalim and Tristin swim closer the ship joining duke.. "What's wrong with ur friend are they shy or what?? Or can't they swim??" Euphyy teases, The boys only laugh signaling the others to come..
"You boys can't be wetting Your clothes now can you, what do these waters hide??" Cornelia steps up kneeling down showing her cleavage more while playing with her hot red hair in a very flirtatious voice..
"You, with the dice earring, what's your name handsome?!"
"I am Duke!, What's yours Charming?"
"Huuuh, Euphyy"..
"Well Euphyy, the water is great I promise you its warm, come down for a swim then"
"Are you sure?, I don't like cold water.." Euphyy starts taking off her clothes staying in her under garments, all the girls are leaning on the edge by now.. only Kisara and Katrina stay hidden, Etmu threatens her friend with wide eyes and low voice
"Don't you dare Euphemia!!"
"What? I can't hear you!" She jumps off the ship into the water wetting her long perfect pink hair and swim closer to the boys.. Cornelia, Nina and Mana follow her.. now all of them swim and tease around..
"Katrina, see what I see?"
"You mean the water going in a random different direction and our ship tilting slowly to the left?.. yeah I see it" Etmu and Katrina both look at each other in worried determination.. "At least one of them is a Bender!!, However not precise water bending.."
"You said it Etmu, I could feel it.. but I have never seen a male bender outside of the Patties.. how should we act, most our forces are down"
"Stand down.. we need to get them out of the waters." She now raises her voice
"Girls Stand down.. NOW!" now Katrina, Kisara and Etmu are on attack position ready to strike..
"I can feel another one now!!" Kisara opens her eyes looking at them in worry..
"How could this be? Two male bender?"
"Well isn't it our lucky day.. HEYY! don't move a muscle! We don't want any trouble.. let us be and we will do the same!" Katrina threatens the boys with fiery eyes..
"But you just got here, why the hurry" Tristin tries to persuade her to stay swimming towards her
"Tristin!! DON'T" The purple eyed tries to stop him from moving and triggering these warriors but too late.. Katrina now is in position launching fire balls from her fists towards Tristin..
The purple eyed created a water barrier as a reflex action to the attack..
"Huhh!! That's whyy, Its air bending under water gives you the illusion of water bending!!" Katrina explains under her breath..
"Still, Air cannot be taken lightly and he masters it!" Etmu also in attack position dropping down his barriers with her own water bending they now feel the ground stakes with small not really hurtful rocks thrown at them making them busy dogging by the one out of the water, now also in attack position too.. The air bender pushes them off the ship into the water in a tiny windstorm..
"You could have came down yourself now couldn't you.. We win.." the boys all ohhh when the purple eyed pproached her so fast using his bending.. His eyes.. so familiar.. her hands now on his shoulder and his on her waist almost dancing in the water.. their locked eyes only separate when hearing a voice yell Girrrlsss from up the ship..
She takes advantage of his distraction and bends a huge Wave with the help of Kisara's air bender flying all of them to the shore defeated.. she pulls Euphyy who was ready to out with Duke and all the girls follow climbing back up the ship.. they boys only watch in silence
"Never decide the winner unless your enemy is either dead or unconscious.." Etmu whispers to her self, proud of her victory..
"MAY WE MEET AGAIN DUKEYY" Euphyy yells as she gets inside
"GOOD BYE, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!!" Duke yells back kissing his hands and sends it to the girls who pretends to catch in and keep it close to her heart waving goodbye..
"Did we just lose to a bunch of girls, Mr Lovey dovey engaged man??!" he now turns to tease his purple eyed friend
"Oh bugger off, Dukeyy!" Making everyone laugh as he imitates her voice, The palace Horns are released marking their play is over walking out of the waters and the taller one closing his book.. now back to their normal lives..
-In side the ship
"That was the most irresponsible and ignorant thing a person could ever do!!.. You just throw yourself to them is that it??"..
"Etmu, how could I have ever known they were benders, I was just trying to make friends.."
"We were lucky they were actual benders not Force stealers or worse Witches!!! What were you thinking Euphy!!"
"I am really sorry Etmu! I just got excited.."
"Sorry wouldn't have done us much good if you got hurt or lead us into a trap!!"
The two girls end their conversation fast when their leader comes in..
"What got you all this wet??" Mrs Esmeralda looks at them in surprise.
"We took shower after training, Madam.." says Katrina nodding her head stupidly..
"On Top of the ship?"
"Yes madam" all of them in one voice hoping their obvious lie works.. their leader only raises an eyebrow letting it slide
"Well, we are less than an hour away from the Palace gates..Now get ready..."
The girls stand to take in The beauty of the palace gardens and the great building it self waiting for the anchor to drop.. they all wear their scarfs above their heads each with a different color..
Etmu always enjoyed beige as it went well with her wavy brown with some gold locks hair.. her short dress was with almost the same color as her scarf but with a darker shade, increasing her beauty.
They take triangle formation behind their leader with their Fans opened up close to their faces only showing their eyes..
Esmeralda draw closer their host..
The Pharaoh of Egypt smiles a wide, sad smiles as Esmeralda's face remind him of what he had lost and misses very much..
"OnWards!"
"Huhhh!!" All the girls yell in sync move to bow down..
"Esmeralda, Your home missed you" The Pharaoh hugs his wife's old friend and she hugs back tightly both thinking about the same person.. she wipes a tear letting go..
"Where is my son, Akmankanen?, doesn't he know?"
"Of course he does.. he was delighted, We agreed he would greet you Himself, Ra knows what That boy is up to!!" She only laughs knowing the hardships a single father could have.. Even if he is the Pharaoh..
"God Mother!!" She yanks her head towards the gates he comes out of.. taking in his now grown form and strong muscles, she left a helpless child.. Now he is taller than her self, he runs towards her but she stops to bow her head..
"Mother! Stop this now" he tries to force her to quit the formalities but she takes his face between both her hands
"My Child, how you have grown, I cannot forgive my self for missing that.. you look just like her, you have her everything, I can see her in your eyes" she starts to tear up making him tear up, she wipes the tear that skips his eye "Don't you cry my love, I apologize, I missed you, I should have never left you" she finally takes him between her arms to
"I am here now, I promise.." Esmeralda holds his face one last time then lets go to wipe her own tears.. all the girls smile and tear up behind their fans, Atem looks behind to his Officials
"This is her Majesty, my Mother gentlemen, she returns to Egypt today.." They all automatically get done on one knee face to the ground in respect, Atem stand infront of them and repeat their action, She stops him once he reaches the ground and holds him again..
"Hello Seth, You have definitely grown, You look just like your father, High priest is it now?" she smiles at Blue eyed brown haired official immediately recognizing him, he rises to answer
"Yes your Majesty, Thank you"
"Ohh that wasn't a compliment.." she raises an eyebrow making the blue eyed priest grin, she looks back at her girls..
"These are my most trusted Kyoshi warriors" "On wards!" Etmu yells followed by the girls's usual response paying their respects and so does the prince ..
"That was a touching Reunion.. Shall we" The Pharaoh walks them both to the palace door followed by the warriors and the officials..
The girls start Whispering and giggling all the way inside about this and that, the Prince's looks, which one of them will land him, which one of his officials is the most handsome, arguing back and forth making their giggles grow louder...
"Shhhh" Esmeralda looks at them angrily after hearing their giggles making everyone's gaze on them, as they shut in silent embarrassment..
"Girls, you may go to your champers and rest.. Everyday from now on is a long day.." they all walk back in as well as the officials but Etmu stands looking down patiently..
"Yes.. you may say a short Hello" she turns towards him and smiles widely behind her fan, he immediately realizes who she is..
"You've grown little girl.. Grown strong and proud!!, I didn't recognize you!"
"You've grown yourself too, prince"
-Minutes later
"Well, Well.. If it isn't Esmeralda and her little Kyoshies, its that your little chippy? Such a fierce warrior now isn't she, with her little fan and short outfit.."
"Aknaden of course.. yes, Kyoshies whose leader always left you beaten up.. haha.. I met your Little pip squeak.. as cold as rock.. wonder where he gets it from" Esmeralda answers proudly never leaving her seat..
"Previous Leader that it.. Oh you mean The High priest? Yes Seth has grown remarkably strong and successful".. Aknaden states facts and Praises his son..
-"Have they always been like that?" Etmu kneels towards Atem with a weirded out face "Yes they have, I hear it was even worse with Mother" they both stare at the scene trying so hard no to lauph-
"Prepare your troops to leave the Western training grounds, The Kyoshi Warriors aren't here on Vacation"..
"Oh, deepest apologies that is a main training area, I won't be able to do that"..
"Oh help me Ra! I have not missed this, This will never end in any life time.. Brother empty them if you will" The Pharaoh orders to end this indirect argument
"Yes your majesty... Had your fun Mr all mighty groom prince?
"What did I do now?" The prince shakes his shoulders in wide eyes
"Don't argue back!! You are yet again late for training.."
"I have other duties as The Prince you know!"...
"I said not to argue back!! March!" Atem only looks the ground not even going to try!
He yells his answer and marches out.. leaving his guests in giggles..
