Deserts Nights
Chapter 1
The kingdom of Geb, named after the Egyptian earth god, lived up to its name. Its lands flourished with life, those that lived here were grateful for their rich and blessed soil, travelers are amazed at the different and colorful customs, touched by Geb's friendly and gentle people and entranced by the food, music, and rare items.
Today the people of Geb were bursting with excitement, for today was the two princes 17th birthdays. Every human and demon alike were getting ready, merchants were setting up booths and displaying their finest items in hope that visiting kingdoms would buy or trade, others of upper class were ordering servants about to, prepare their finest attires, gather gifts and couching their heirs on ways to when the princes' affections, entertainers were setting up their stages and praying to Renenet, the god of fortune and luck for a successful evening.
And one royal guard stood among this whirl of excitement, his name was Casey Jones. A dog demon born in England yet raised in the deserts and was the second in command of the royal guards. Casey made his way through the cowards, his eyes searching for anything of interest, cursing himself for foolishly giving himself the task of finding entertainment for the party tonight.
"I really need to learn how to keep my mouth shut"
He stopped to observe an fire juggler, shaking his head when the juggler dropped his flaming whatever they were and caught on fire, admittedly it was funny but not what he was looking for, though he was sure Prince Raphael would find it entertaining, Prince Leonardo was another story, those two were so different yet so alike that it was hard to find anything for the both of them. After several watching three pathetic, good but not good enough, and some just plan freaky entertainment, Casey was just about to give up when a voice made his ears twitch.
"Gather around everyone! Come see the most beautiful dancers across the desert seas!"
The voice was so soft, it called to him and the dog demon soon found himself following the wonderful voice until he came to a large rug laying down on the ground, standing in the middle was a beautiful red-headed cat demon gypsy.
A crowd gathered around, "Come see the most mystical and enchanting dance in all the seven deserts!" the cat-demon walked off the rug and a silver and gold mist crawled into it. The mist rose, everyone around waited in anticipation as the mist took shape, then suddenly the mist dropped and everyone was entranced. When it was all over Casey had found the entertainment for tonight.
**************
Night had fallen quickly, and the party had begun, everyone was having a good time that is expect the two princes. Prince Leonardo and Prince Raphael both sat upon their thrones, bored as hell. Every year was the same thing, kings, and lords came and introduced their heirs in hopes of a marriage, as it was no secret that Geb was one of the most powerful kingdoms and an marriage alliance will ensure good wealth for the other land. Yet the two princes showed no interest, in either gender, which frustrated both them and the father King Splinter.
"My sons, why do you not join the celebration after all it is for you"
Leonardo the oldest looked at the elder rat that was their father, while his brother scowled.
"We would love to father, but as of late we haven't been feeling well and wish not to pass it along our guest" the raised brow told Leo that his father believed that story just as he believed that Raphael was not a hot-head.
"Very well, if you wish to retire to your chambers then I will not stop you" Splinter said, taking note at how his son's eyes lit up when they heard they could leave, and how Raphael looked ready to bolt.
"But, it would be sad if you left without seeing the performs Captain Jones worked so hard to find"
Raphael inwardly groaned, and cursed his father. Casey was a good friend of the family, almost like another brother and the elder rat knew that his two sons would not like to disappoint their friend.
"I guess we could survive a little longer" Raphael grumbled. Splinter smiled before disappearing into the crowd, probably to talk to an old friend about marrying one of them off, it was confirmed when two young ladies came towards them smiling sweetly. The two just groaned.

"Wow this place is pack!"
"Mikey will you get back in here someone will see you!"
The sea-green turtle yelped as he was dragged back in inside the waiting room "Owww! April not so hard!" the red head ignored him and straighten out his clothes.
"Now remember if all goes well, we'll be in and out before sunrise" Isis said as she helped Donatello with his outfit. " Karai couldn't you have made this thing less complicated" the olive colored turtles said " And less revealing"
Karai huffed as she polished her instrument " Oh stop your whining and besides it's not that revealing" she said. Donatello begged to differ and was about to say so when a knock on the door made them all look up.
"Everyone ready?" came Casey's door on the other side.
"One moment!"
"Will you stop struggling!"
"Owww! Not to tight!"
"Which dance are we doing?"
"Sun and Moon"
"That one?"
"But we've never done that one in front of an audience before"
"First time for everything"
"No one asked you, fleabag"
"What did you call me brat!"
"Enough! It's time for us to go, you can argue later"
Casey raised a brow at the noises, he took a step back when footsteps came towards the door and it was opened, it was the pretty girl turtle with the blue eyes "We're ready Captain" she said sweetly. "Okay follow me"
**************
Everyone turned their attention to the band of gypsies when they entered, the two dancers were in the middle, and so no one could see them. They took their places in the middle were everyone could see, Aziba, Badru and Karai at the side, the instruments at the ready. Isis and April stood facing the king and the princes, behind them the dancers laid on the floor waiting for their cue.
"Our tell begins, with the sun and the moon" Isis and April said in unison
The music began playing.
