User Ramses was on edge. On edge about the fact that another woman had joined his palace and had been staying the last few nights. She wasn't properly speaking their language as of yet but she had been working on it. As for the way she did things, she was a wild card that wandered off without warning and got Ramses worried that something might have happened to her. The festival was still ongoing and some of the women in the land were asking if Ramses was going to be showing up for the final day of the festival where they would offer a woman of great pleasures to their king. It was never known as to why they offered the women only that the people thought it would please the gods if they did.
But putting that matter aside, Ramses still had the girl to worry about and wondered just how he would present her to the rest of his people. Would they try thinking of her as an evil demon of some kind or would they accept her without fear? He pondered on this for a while until the girl made her appearance before him, wearing a long, white dress with long, transparent, silky sleeves that thinned out as it got to her wrists. Around her wrists were golden bracelets and matching rings on her index finger.
The girl's hair was combed out and brushed until it was as straight as it could get and pulled into a small bun at the back of her head. Her ears had been pierced already so there was no need to worry about punching holes through the girl's ears. Her make-up matched her dress as her eye shadow was the color of the dress and had been lined with gold paint. Her lips were cherry red and her cheeks had been dashed a few times with a white powder. But the one thing that got Ramses' attention the most was her neck. It was bare along her shoulders and her neck had been braced with a few circlets that wrapped around the wearer's neck. It was mostly used for small girls but seeing as she had such a delicate, thin neck, the women who helped her get ready, had put a few on for show.
"You look…I mean you…" The man was stunned to see how far she had come. From falling out of the sky like something from the gods themselves and into wearing the best that his servants could find.
Ramses was too wrapped up in the woman's image that he had forgotten all that he wanted to say and ask, even if it meant the girl could not answer. "….am….Yuri." As though the woman had read his thoughts, the girl pointed to her chest and said her name, in their language!
"Yuri? Is that your name?" Ramses asked her as he walked toward her hoping he wasn't daydreaming that she could speak his language.
"I'm Yuri…Ramsays." The said man, Ramses, smiled gently and patted the girl on the shoulder. It was coming along but there was other work to be done.
Ramses looked around at his palace. It was still far from being a king's personal kingdom as it exposed quite a bit with the large windows that were as big as the walls themselves and sure it had drapes but Ramses did not like to have those over the windows because of the people who might think he were hiding something.
"Ra…" The girl, Yuri, looked at Ramses with concern in her eyes.
Ramses was puzzled as to what to do first. The girl was standing before him like a bride in a gown and with silver jewels and she was the most magnificent woman he had ever seen so properly dressed. But alas, the girl was not from his world and so, was meant to be sent back but the festival had been holding him back from doing anything about the girl's problem. On top of this, Ramses had no idea on how he would send the girl back to wherever it was she came from.
"We'll get you home, Yuri. I promise. Just bear with this crazy festival for now." Ramses felt the girl's cheek, smearing a bit of the white powder off from the girl's face. But Ramses didn't mind nor did Yuri. A plain face with lipstick seemed to suit the young girl, so Ramses took a piece of his own shirt and wiped off the rest of the make-up that had covered up the girl's normal face.
"Festi…val?" Ramses smiled warmly and looked into Yuri's eyes.
"That's right. It's a traditional thing. We Egyptians hold it every year to celebrate the goddess, Neti. A woman who's beauty was several times more than a normal woman but she was only created for one thing. She was told to kill the man who was said to be striking up a mob to go out and kill him, but the woman refused and fell in love with this man. Now she's known as a goddess even though she was created for the evil arts." Ramses watched Yuri's face to see if any signs of boredom would arrive at all. None came. She looked completely hooked.
"Neti?" Yuri's voice sounded like that of a child's and Ramses had to wonder if she was a mere child herself.
