What's fantasy? What's real? Is there someone who writes our destiny or we make our own? Can someone really answer those questions? And even if someone did, would those answers be enough? It doesn't matter anyway...

Love for a Dark Prince

This world is populated by magical stories about gods and brave men that somehow managed to live forever. But what kept those deities and heroes alive, at least, in the memory of people were nothing more than trust and faith.

Even after so many years, some people never stopped believing in Osiris, Zeus, Thor, Amaterasu and other pagan gods. And, honestly, there are few things that can be more powerful than faith and hope. So now you, my friends, can understand the power of a wish that was full of those feelings.

The Not So New Guy

Ruby Kane knew she wasn't going to make it, she knew it even at the beginning of her pregnancy. It wasn't as if she was too old to be a mother again it was just that her body wasn't really made to carry a child, but the braveness that kept her alive to give birth and raise Carter was lacking right now.

Her doctors and even Julius said that she should abort, that this pregnancy was way too dangerous and that the chances of her dying were high, but she always dreamed about having a little girl and she knew that this child was a girl. She was as sure of it as that the sun would raise the next day.

So when the moment came and she felt not only her life, but of her child's as well slipping through their fingers Ruby remembered her mother's tale about a Egyptian canine deity that was responsible for collecting a person's soul and guiding it to the other world where that person would be judged; a deity that could be summoned when a person was dying. And knowing it, she decided to try…

- "You who is upon your mountain, grant me, Ruby Kane one final wish: take me to my final destination, but let my child live, so she can find a way to payback."

Her vision was a blur and her body was fighting death, but after hearing her daughter's soft cries, Ruby Kane finally gave up, because she knew that her offer was accepted.

After almost losing her ability to hear, thanks to Carter and Zia unorthodox way of interrogation, Sadie decided to rest a little.

- "Well, at least in my dreams I can find some peace and be away of this confusing day of mine." – the young woman thought, but she couldn't be more wrong.

Sadie's dreams were filled with visions of her mother and her canine companion. Sadie loved her mother with every fiber of her being, but she didn't feel okay thinking about her, because it still hurt way too much to know that somehow she was to blame for her mother's death and every time she dreamed about her she would remember her father's sad eyes looking at the door as if waiting for her to return and of a young Carter asking if Heaven was too far away and if that was why 'mom wasn't visiting them'.

But this time she felt different about her dream, she seemed happy: it was her birthday, Julius and Carter were baking a birthday cake when her mother walked in carrying with her something that seemed fluff. Sadie got closer to inspect it when she realized that what Ruby was holding was a dark pup with great light brown eyes. Her blue eyes shone with happiness, but when she touched the puppy she felt as if she was being burned alive; the pain was so big that she woke up, however, even after waking the pain was still there and it seemed worst near her neck.

Sadie got up and walked as fast as she could to the bathroom, but when she looked at the mirror she started to wonder once again if she was still dreaming, because there on her neck was a tribal figure of a jackal, something so perfect that anyone would mistake it for a tattoo.

- "Well, whatever is happening to me it better be something good or else I'll kick someone's ass for this!"

S2

What made him grant that woman's wish that night was still a mystery to him, but right now he couldn't be happier he did. How could he forget her? Her mortal features would change with time, but her Ka remained the same. Her spirit was strong even at a young age and maybe that was why he granted Ruby's wish. Sadie's Ka enchanted him, made him wonder if mortals were as weak as the gods thought they were and if she, when older, would still be as great as he thought she would be.

It was very unlikely he would meet her again or even go after her so she could pay her debt to him, but it seemed that life moved on its own and now it presented to him the all grown up version of the baby girl he let live.

Really, life could be nice at times. Sadie Kane, the woman he was infatuated with, was linked to him by debt and now he was going to use it to get what he wanted. Really, life could be SO nice at times.
