Background: This takes place the day after Khephri woke up from the transfer to her host. Apophis had left urgently when news of a planet he was after being claimed by him. Klorel was officially put under constant watch of her, to help her through whatever she needed in her first month of life, for they would be eternally bonded in marriage shortly after anyway. This starts when the two finally reached the new planet their father had claimed.

Day 1

"This way, my lady" the young servant said with a smile as she lead the Princess out of the large vessel she called home and onto a new planet recently conquered by her father. Her brother, Klorel, soon followed silently, as he was used to going to new planets every once in a while. For his sister, this was a first of many.

"It's so beautiful here!" she said with a gasp, looking around at the large landscape. The trees were covered with fresh flowers and fruits, causing the air to smell decadent. The people there were happily dancing around and cheering, celebrating the arrival of their new God and his children.

"Yes yes, now let's move along, shall we?" Klorel said, quickly going to her side and taking her arm, as he was supposed to make sure the two kept the image of engagement alive in front of their followers. No matter how much he despised it, he had to do it.

"Why are you always in such a rush?" Khephri asked, pouting slightly up at her brother/ soon-to-be husband. "It's magnificent here; you always rush through everything." Klorel gave an exaggerated sigh. "Well, unlike you, I follow fathers orders and get things done quickly, soon leaving and doing as I please; I like to be away from him as long as possible, especially with his recent cocky attitude" he said with a huff as they finally reached the large palace.

"My children!" Apophis said with a smile, going over to the two. He brought his daughter into a tight embrace, causing her to giggle slightly, making everyone in the room smile, even Klorel. Since she had awoken, Khephri had always brought smiled to everyone's faces, even when she didn't mean to. She could be furious and screaming at you at the top of her lungs, and you couldn't help but smile and how cute she was when she tried to be tough.

"You seem to be taking to your host very well, my dear" Apophis said, pulling back to admire her. "She fits you well". Khephri smiled, nodding her head, though her and Klorel both knew that was a lie. "She is perfect, father. Thank you" she said, bowing her head to him. He nodded, going over to his son and pulling him aside.

"How are you, my son?" he asked, patting the boy on his shoulders. Klorel only nodded. "Fine, but I'm assuming that you want to know how her first day went?" he asked. Apophis nodded. Klorel sighed, glancing over at the girl that was now on her way back outside with a few guards to explore the new planet.

"She was fine at first, but she is still very weak. I made sure that she had multiple servants with her at all times, in case she were to need assistance for something. I think she will do fine, though." he said, holding in the concerned gulp that he wanted to let out.

Apophis smiled. "I'm very glad I appointed you to look after her, my son. She is in good hands" he said, before looking at the few crowds of people that had come in. "Now, I have some important information to discuss right now. Why don't you follow your sister's lead and look around?" he said as he walked over to his throne.

Klorel gathered his guard and followed his sister, knowing she would want to speak to him about her current predicament. Her host was strong, very strong, and she was having a hard time taming her. Klorel feared that she would end up being completely rejected.

"Leave" Klorel commanded as he found her sitting my the river, her feet submerged in the clear water, discomfort and aggravation clear on his sister's face. The others nodded, leaving the two rulers alone for the time being.

"She keeps screaming" Khephri said, looking up at her brother who had joined her at the water's edge. "She won't listen to me! Why won't she stop screaming? Why Klorel?" she shouted, fighting back sobs of aggravation. The Prince only sighed, pulling his sister close, and letting her fall apart in his arms. He had no feelings for her, none at all, but as her brother it was his job to keep her safe and happy, no matter what the cost.

The sun was setting, causing the landscape to glow as if it were on fire. Klorel looked down at the small, young girl in his arms. A month. He had a months time to get this girl to fall in love with him. A month to get himself and his sister to fall in love with each other, to the point of marriage. He had quite the job ahead of him, since he knew she would be too distracted learning about the world she was just born into.

He looked down at his free hand, to which his kara kesh was slightly glowing. He smiled softly at the idea that came to him. The kara kesh was most used for harm, to show power and provoke fear into the hearts of those who approached him. But that was not its only power. It could also be used to soothe, and to cause relaxation and peace to whom he chose.

He lifted his hand, moving the girl's long brown hair away from her neck, exposing the small and still fresh wound from where Khephri had entered her host by instinct. His eyes glowed slightly as he powered his kara kesh. Khephri flinched slightly, trying to sit up and get away from him, thinking the worst.

"Relax" Klorel whispered gently, allowing the kara kesh to send a calming sensation throughout her through the small wound at the back of her neck. Khephri let out a soft sigh, relaxing back into Klorel's arms until she silently fell asleep.

"You two are back late" Apophis said quietly, noticing the sleeping Khephri in Klorel's arms. "She was enjoying herself. I didn't want to upset her" he said with a nod before carrying his sister back to her chambers in the palace, laying her down on the large bed that was placed there for her.

"Sleep well, my sister" Klorel whispered after tucking her in, brushing the few stray hairs out of her face. He knew that she would not wake for a while, so he left quickly, leaving her in the care of her servants.
