LAST TIME:

She would offer her knowledge of the modern day and lessons in computer tech and maybe buy her a cell phone just for more answers on this mysterious Sanura and on what the marks on her arm meant.

AT THE BED AND BREAKFAST

HG nearly destroyed the computer, and it still wouldn't turn on! "Stupid contraption, how in bloody hell am I going to turn this thing on!"

"Maybe you should try pressing the little red button? Knock knock by the way."

"God Claudia, you are quiet when you want to be. Which red button? There are at least five!"

"Let me show you," she pressed the power button and the computer whirred to life showing the screen saver. "Thank you Claudia. Tell me, how will this…device…help me to know the past that I have missed?"

"I'll show you."

The two spent hours looking up different things. Historical events, people, places, and even a few modern legends were what consumed most of their time. Claudia was having some much fun that she hardly remembered why she had come. Then, while looking up the discovery of Tutankhamen's Tomb, she remembered. "Hey, HG?"

"Yes Claudia?"

"Do you know anything else about Sanura? Like what about the other tales that you talked about? Do you remember them?"

"Yes, would you like to hear a few?"

"That would be beyond amazing! Are there any that have to do with girls around my age getting strange marks on their arms then hearing multiple voices in their heads?"

Helena studied the small girl, "Claudia, did that happen to you? Are there markings on your arms?"

A quiet, "Yes, ma'am."

"Claudia, pull up your sleeves. I would like to see the markings."

Claudia pulled up her left sleeve and fidgeted a little. It was really uncomfortable having an older woman, especially if she was HG's age, look and study your arm like it was some kind of experiment gone wrong. After what felt like an eternity, HG finally asked "Claudia, did you try to find her?"

"NO, I would never try to find her! I think that she found me." Helena gave her a look that said, 'yeah right Claudia. I know when you are lying to me.' So the girl hurried on and told her, "There was this voice in my head, you see. The voice of a young girl who wasn't from this country. She sounded scared. Then she said stuff like, "you live cos you chosen." And I was all like, "Umm okay crazy." Then this thing was on my arm and Artie heard me scream cos I would never get a tattoo unless I was really high or really drunk. Then I was like "oh god don't see this thing on my arm Artie" and this other female voice that sounded powerful and magical and like music all at the same time floated into my head and said, "Ok Sagira if that's what you want…" she was cut off by HG's gasp and said, "Hold on, back up what did the powerful voice call you again?"

"Sagira?"

"Yes that! In some legends that's what Isis called Cleopatra, who was believed to be her daughter! It's a term of endearment, and sometimes a name. I wonder…growing up did you ever see your mother?"

"Umm personal questions much?"

"Just answer it."

"Yeah all the time; my mom was Mexican and she liked the weather warm so we lived mostly in Arizona. She was a chef and owner of a small Mexican Bistro…why?"

"Alright…what about your father, was he ever around?"

"Yeah he taught physics at the University of Phoenix. Why all the sudden questions about my past? I want to hear another story."

"Alright. Would you care for one about a young girl or a young boy?"

"I hate to be sexist, but I am a girl sooo easy guess?"

"Girl it is then. Her name was Dominique she was from Warehouse 9, in France. She had similar symptoms to you but worse. She could always hear the voices in her head. She loved them more than her family at the Warehouse. She did whatever they asked of her. If she prayed to them they loved her more. Eventually she grew so attached to them that when they asked her to kill she simply shrugged her shoulders and said, "Who?". They told her to torture her surrogate father, kill two her best friends, and if any of the other agents stood in her way, to take them down as well. She had the marks that ran down your left arm. But hers were differently colored. Hers, so legend tells us, were blue, purple, and sliver the main colors of… Set, Anubis, and Horus.

Yours are the color of well, Gold is the color of Ra, Red the color of Isis, and Black the color of Nyx. Claudia, this pattern right her," she traced a zigzag that evened out into a spirally loop, "shows your connection to Sekhmet. This, the Ankh shows you are a rather religious girl and that you have a good soul. And this, this is the paw of Bastet, often worn on Egyptian solders who were fighting in another country. They would wear that and the spiral of Sekhmet."

Then she stopped. Her voice got deathly quiet and trembled when she spoke. "Do you see this pattern?" she traces a few swirls and dots on her arm, "Yes I do, what does that have to do with anything?" Claudia was confused. One moment the woman is thrilled by the symbols and colors mixing and swirling on her arms the next she freezes at the sight of a…well it looked like half of an infinity symbol with a dot at either end and one on the rig in the middle.

"Claudia, it has to do with everything! It, not only is the hieroglyphic symbol for Thoth it also represents the history of a people, a people that the gods used to communicate to us! You are a Daughter of the Gods!"

THE GOLD SECTOR

"My gods, the girl, Sagira, knows with the help of Helena. My plan has begun to work. If we take charge without caution the whole scheme will die like the blond girl, Jane, or the girl Dominique. If we rush, our last chance will die. She does not understand her destiny or that she will be our saving grace. Let me continue to help her and we will make a great warrior, scholar, magician, and princess out of her."
