                         The Heart of Ra


As Nakia and Ramla walked up to Ramla's mother they bowed and smiled
at her.
"Well, this Phoenix showed me everything so I knew what is going
on," she told them with a kind smile.
"What is your name, young lady?" she asked, looking at the black
haired girl who stood next to her daughter. Ramla looked over to her
new friend and saw fear in Nakia's eyes, so she took her friends hand
in her own.
Nakia didn't know what do say, she couldn't tell if she was coming
or going. She then felt someone take her hand and a sudden clam came
over her. She turned her head a little and saw Ramla smiling at her.
Nakia smiled slightly in return and nodded to her, then she looked
back to the Queen and saw her smiling in the same way her daughter
had been.
"My name is Nakia, it's nice to meet you," she said with a little
bow to the Queen.
"It's nice to meet you Nakia, I'm Queen Neith," she said as she
stood up and - to Nakia's surprise - embracing the dark haired girl.
  As Neith let go of Nakia, she whispered in her ear,"Take care of
her, she'll need you, and from what it looks you need her too." 
As the Queen laughed slightly when she saw how red the girl's pale
face had become. The Queen walked over to her daughter and hugged her
as well: then whispered,  "Ramla, no madder what your father says,
she needs to stay here with you; take care of her." She smiled at the
two and walked back into the room, where she stopped and called back
to them: "Oh, don't let your father or the dratted priest see you two
holding hands, even if I don't mind."
Ramla and Nakia looked at one another, then at their hands, and then
back to each other. They let go of each other's hand and started to
blush again. Sanura watched them, and smiled slightly.
"Very nice Ra, very nice, I can't wait to see we're your going with
this," she thought. "Come on you two, it looks like the rains going
too started again," Sanura told them while walking into the room.
Ramla and Nakia nodded, walked in and saw Neith sitting down on a
chair petting the Phoenix.
Sanura walked up to her Queen and bowed to her.
"I'm sorry my Queen I forgot to intruduce myself: I am Sanura, a
priestess of Goddess Selkhet."
Her Queen smiled and nodded. She looked over to her daughter and
Nakia, who had just come in. They walked over to the other chairs and
sat down, while Sanura walked over to the bed and sat down on it.
"Layla, could you bring some water and food for my daughter's
friend?" she asked the queen to someone out side the other door way.
A young woman in her teens walked in. She had on a nice looking
dress, and had purple hair pulled back in a bun, though strands still
flew loose around her face. She walked over to her queen and bowed,
and then looked around the room. When she saw Sanura, her heart
jumped.
Sanura felt someone watching; she turned and saw the young woman the
queen had called for looking at her.
"Is there something wrong?" Sanura asked looking back with a smile.
Layla blushed, shook her head and left to get food and water for them.
The rain out side started to come down hard. The wind was picking
up. Sanura walked over to the windows in the room and closed them.
She turned around and saw that everyone else wore glazed expressions
on their faces as they sat still and deep in thought.  She then
walked back to her seat and waited, though what she was waiting for
she did not know.
                                                         *******
While Layla was walking to kitchen, her mind kept going to back to
the priestess.
"Why is my heart beating so hard? What is going on with me?" she
spoke to thin air, wondering if anyone would answer: of course no
answer came, so Layla was left wondering and slightly scared.
 She walked very slowly into the kitchen. Her head was spinning: she
was about to fall but someone caught her before she hit the ground.
She turned her head to see the High Priest of the god Anubis. He
smiled maliciously at her and thrust her away from him as though she
was a poisonous spider or something else that may have contaminated
him.
"Well, what do we have here, a little slave all by her self," he
hissed in a venom-laced voice. Layla felt a pang of horror in her
chest as she saw his eyes turn black as obsidian and start to glow.
Flashes of her mother being beaten by the same man in front of her
swam through her mind. Layla saw her mother give her life for her
when he had tried to kill her; she was about four years old at the
time. Layla fell to the floor, clutching her head and trying
desparately to get the images out of her mind.
"Stop it! Please stop it! Make it stop!" she pleaded to him, tears
running down her face.  He just smiled evilly at her and kicked her
over to the door. She lay there, holiding her brusided side and
crying freely now.
"I'll make it stop when you put this poison in the princess' new
friend's water," came the reply. 
Layla wanted this flash to stop, but something in back of her head
told her to hold on; help was on the way. She screamed as she saw her
mother laying dead, her eyes lifeless, her corspe soaked in her own
blood.
The Priest was just enjoying the show as he put more images in to
Layla mind. What he didn't know was that a beautiful woman was
watching the whole thing in the rain. Of course no one would have
noticed her; it was as though she was part of the rain; you couldn't
tell if she was there or not. Her eyes started to flash redder and
redder until they had attained the hue of garnets. She had seen all
she needed to: she disappeared.
                                                  ******
She appeared in Ra's Throne room and saw her husband sitting on his
throne with his eyes closed. She knew that his plan was already in
motion, but what she had seen told her that she needed to stop it,
regardles of her husband's wishes. 
"Anubis!" she yelled, walked over to her throne, and sat down. Ra
opened his eyes to see a very angry wife sitting next him. He knew
what had happened and had already sent a message to his phoenix.
Things were moving faster then he hoped, but nevertheless he was
confident that his plan would work.
The Great door opened and in walked the god Anubis. He bowed to them
and waited to to hear why he had been summoned. 
"Anubis, could you tell me why your High Priest is trying to kill
Nakia?" asked Selket with anger in her voice. Ra didn't say a thing:
he just waited to what his son said.
"I have just seen what was happening, and was about to do something
about it," came the swift reply. "But, you must have known that he
has been doing this for years now, and I can't see why you would stop
him now of all times, because of one pathetic human."
Selket's eyes flashed red. "Anubis, be careful what you say, I love
all of my daughters, and will care for them always; what your Priest
did to that girl's mother was wrong: so I blanked out the memory from
her mind so that she would never have to feel that again, and then
your damn Priest revived it and subjected that poor girl to pain you
could probably never imagine."
"Forgive me for saying this, Selket, but out of the entire human
woman in the world you seem to be fondest of these three," Anubid
said, and with a wave of his hand had summoned images of Nakia,
Sanura, and Layla into the air around the them.
"I don't see the differences of the ones I'm fond of?" he asked.
Selket knew he was right, even her husband had humans to protect
above all others, and that was Ramla and her mother, Neith.
 Ra watches them and had a hidden smile; he knew his plan would
work. What his wife and son didn't know was that there was more to
Nakia and Ramla then meets the eye. Once their feelings for each
other hit its maximum point, not even Anubis Priest could stop them.
He loved all of his people and will not have any evil run around his
world, causing peace to fall into utter chaos. 
"Anubis, think about what you're doing, and dear wife, Anubis is
right; we gods and goddess have certain humans that we are most fond
of," he told them
"Anubis that is all, you may go, and thank you" Ra told him and
waved his hand.
Anubis bowed to them, and then returned to his own halls. He closed
the door behind him then his parents began, once again, to speak.
"Ra, I wont let that Priest kill her or any human woman," she told
her husband.
Ra smiled at his wife, and kissed her on the lips.
"Don't worry my dear Selkhet, I always have a back up plan: I have
sent a message to my pet, and I believe that you might soon see
something really... what is the word the humans use, oh yes, cool."
He told her with a little laugh. Selket just held on to him and knew
he would help; he always had a big heart.
                                                            *******
In Ramla's quarters the four women sat there waiting for Layla. No
conversation passed between them, as all were still deep within their
own thoughts. Ramla was trying to find something say to Nakia.
"Why, why do I just wanted her to hold me, and never let go, what
can I say do show that . . . Ra help please what do I do?"  She kept
looking over to her black haired friend, who was looking out the
window.
Nakia was also in deep thought as she looked out the window at
nothing in particular.
"I have felt this feeling before, but it's a little different.
Goddess, I know you're watching me, could you please show me a sign
that will help me understand this feeling, and why it's coming from
Ramla every time?" She turned her head little to see Ramla looking at
her. Her mouth kept opening and close like she wanted to say
something. Nakia started to giggle.
"Ramla is there something on your mind, because if you keep opening
and close you mouth you might catch a fly."
 Ramla blush at be caught doing that, and smiled at her friend. 
"I was trying think of something to talk about, that's all," she
replied.
"Why don't you tell me about things you like to do, and I will do
the same," Nakia replied. As the two young girls talked about things,
Neith watched them and thought.
" My, My, Ra you have out done yourself this time, and the power
coming from them is very great, I just hope they tell each other how
they feel before something bad happens." 
Neith was happy that her one and only daughter was happy and may
have found someone to be with, but was also little sad to let her
daughter go, but she knew it need to happen.
Sanura was watching the door that Layla left out of; she had a
feeling that something wasn't right.
"Something wrong, I just knew it, could it be him." She then heard
someone scream and looked around the room, startled. Ramla and Nakia
were talking, and the queen was watching them: none of them seemed to
have heard the scream.
She looked over to Ra's Phoenix, which had its eyes closed.
The Phoenix in Neith's lap opened it eyes and took off very fast,
screaming its song the whole time. All four women stopped what they
were doing, looked at one anther, and took off to find out what was
going on. As they ran down hall they heared someone screaming: but
whom it was they still had yet to find out.
