Zahara's Second Vision

Sapphira's P.O.V.

I sighed as I walked along the Nile River. I don't why, but whenever I had something on my mind I always came to the river. It always seemed to calm me when no one else could. It was comforting in a sense. I knew that I could always find a place where I could relax and not worry about my personal problems. It was a place where I could just be myself.

I stopped until I reached a hill that seemed to overlook the Nile River. It seemed to get a reaction out of Zahara, that's for sure.

This is where I came to think on my thoughts as a child.

I turned to look at Zahara in her spirit form as she appeared right next to me with a soft smile on her face.

Are you sure, Zahara?

Zahara nodded.

I can't be more sure than I am now, Sapphira. It looks like this place hasn't changed much since I was a kid.

As she said that we were pulled into another one of her memories of her as a child.

Flashback

A young egyptian girl is running from a group of three boys with fear written on her face. She had long blonde hair with golden highlights and bright green eyes. She was wearing a simple dress with blue on the top and a blue sash at her waist. She also had the traditional village shoes as she ran for her life.

The three boys had black hair, except the middle on had spiky hair. The girl ran for her life until they cornered her at an alleyway. She looked back behind her to see the three with pure fear in her eyes. The leader started laughing at her predictament.

"Looks like you got nowhere to run this time, Zahara" the leader spoke. "No one is going to save you this time."

The girl closed her eyes and started shaking in fear. She didn't want to die! Almost immediately after she thought those words, she heard a deep and powerful voice within her mind as she felt a powerful force deep inside of her break free as she became surrounded by a golden light.

Then allow me to help you with that wish, my mistress.

The girl hesitantly opened her eyes as she heard a powerful and ferocious roar, causing the kids to scream and run. The source of the roaring came from a huge black dragon with a golden star on its left-wing and a red tip on its tail with red eyes.

The dragon landed beside the girl showing conern within his eyes.

"Are you alright, Mistress Zahara?" the dragon asked. The response made the girl look at him confusion, but she recognized the voice from when he spoke from within her mind.

"Who are you?" the girl asked. "Are you the voice I heard before?"

The dragon nodded.

"I am the Red-Eyes Black Dragon" the dragon explained. "I am your Ka, or spirit monster to be exact. I am your protector, but I was not able to appear until you learned how to call me forth on your own. Your own desire to survive awakened from my slumber and allowed me to come forth at last. So, thanks to you, I can protect you when I'm the most needed."

The girl looked up at the dragon with a soft smile.

I don't mind at all." the girl answered. "Is it okay if I just call you Draco? It sounds more fitting than calling you by what others will call you. I want you to be my friend, not just your master, but a close friend as well. I feel like Draco is what I should call you. Will you be my friend, as well as my protector?"

The dragon looked shocked at her words before he gave in with a smile.

"Draco sounds like a perfect name for a dragon like myself." the dragon answered. "No one has ever asked to be my friend before. I am truly grateful for your kindness, Mistress Zahara. When you chose a husband, I will also allow him to call me by that name as well. I am eternally grateful for your kindness Mistress Zahara, for asking me to be your friend. I will never forget your kindness."

Flashback End

I looked back at her with a smile on my face.

"It looks like you had a friend growing up, Zahara.

Zahara couldn't help but give a soft smile at that.

Yes, I couldn't have asked for a better friend. It's too bad I don't know where he is right now. It would've been to see him once more.

I simply gave her an encouraging smile.

I'm sure one day you both will meet again someday, when you least expect it.

Zahara only gave me a soft smile in thanks.
