Pretty Guardian Sailor Mau

Pyramid Of Wonders

☆ Chapter 6 ☆
———————

A lot of time has passed, Mau began to celebrate her 17th birthday, at least in human years. Mau was surrounded by a lot of family, Sehkmet, Hathor, Simon, her Aunt Isis, as well as few others from the Ra star system. Mau blew out the candles and everyone clapped and cheered. She made a huge wish, hoping that happy days like this would never end.

Unfortunately there is always bad in this world, Mau realized this. It was her day to finally adventure out on her own and fight to protect the Ra Universe. She opened her presents. One hardest one was the picture of her family. It was her Mom and her sisters as well as her as a baby. Behind it was a note that she could tell was written from her Mother. "-You're a bright star, you have a gift inside. Don't let anyone take that from you. I love you sweetheart. Love Mom." Mau had tears rolled down her face as everyone looked concerned. "You okay?" Simon said as he put his hand on her shoulder. "Yeah.. I'm fine." She smiled at him, wiping the tears from her eyes. He smiled back as he took some steps away.

The girls all had a nice big slumber party playing all kinds of games and eating snacks. Mau's favorite was hide and seek but sometimes she did tend to wait so long she kinda fell asleep especially if the room was dark. She was always teased about it. The girls put on tons of makeup and dressed up a little. As they were going through clothes they found one of her Mothers old outfits. Mau tried it on and turned around looking down at herself before looking in the mirror. The outfit was slightly a little bit big on her but it still looked so good on her.

Simon walked in. "Girls it's time for—" He paused. He saw Mau in the queen's clothes. Rather shocked because he was imagining the Queen but then blinked to see Mau. He smiled and walked over to her. "That outfit looks gorgeous on you, just be careful it belonged to your Mother." He said. Mau looked in the mirror and she looked at herself again and felt a little confident. "My Mother wore this?" She asked. Simon nodded. "Yes she did." He replied.

Mau looked at Simon and then back at the dress. "Do you miss Mom still?" She asked him, looking at him. He smiled and put his hand on her head and nudged her a little bit. "Everyday.. not a day goes by I don't think about her. She was an excellent Queen." Simon replied. "Do you think I'll be a great Queen one day?" Mau asked. He smiled at her. "I don't think so, I know so." He replied. Mau smiled. The night went on eventually everyone went to sleep and the next day was to come.

Mau and her sisters were off on an adventure the next morning after hearing tales about Youma lurking around the pyramid of wonders, where Hathor lives. The girls decided to check it out. As they walked Mau and Sehkmet began to ask "Hathor why this place was so important to you?" Mau asked.

Hathor took a big sigh. "One day there was a man who lived alone on the moon. He loved illusions and smoke. He was like a magician. His family didn't even support his hobby much, but one of his sisters absolutely adored it. He did the magic in secret around her as he always had new tricks. One day his parents found out again as they yelled at him and made him so mad he left his kingdom and found himself leaving and finding another planet as he decided to check it out." Hathor told and Mau listened as she seemed really interested. Sehkmet thought her sister was just telling stories. "Sis, why don't you just get to the point rather than telling us some folklore story." Sehkmet stated. Hathor shook her head. "This story really happened, Aunt Isis said." Sehkmet sighed and shrugged. "Alright- continue I guess.." Sehkmet said. Hathor continued the story as they kept walking.

"So when he arrived at this unknown place, he didn't act shy as he started doing some tricks and it drew in a crowd. People clapped in amazement as word got around about him. The princess was praying in her garden as she overheard the guards talking about it. She was curious why a strange man not even from her kingdom would just come to show off? It would continue for days as the princess grew more curious and wanting to see what was going on.

A young guard was in training, he was nearby watching over her. He was very talented for his age and he wasn't much older than the princess. He himself had been love struck by the princesses beauty but the hardest feelings was he had to disregard those feelings and continue his duty as a knight.

The princess begged and pleaded to go as they felt like it was best she didn't go due to they didn't know the man's motive and why he was there to begin with. She begged and the young knight offered to go with her and protect her if anything would happen. After hearing the young knight's words they agreed if only for a little bit, please don't make them worry. The young knight bowed in respect as he told them not to worry he promised his life to protect her.

The Princess wore a hood to cover her identity as the knight took her hand and they walked out of the palace and down to where all the excitement was. The princess watched the tricks as her green eyes stared in amazement. The young guard watched the princess as some gossip started if this young man was just playing knight. Taking a glance away as he was bumped by a random stranger and noticing the princess was gone, he had taken a girl from the audience and it just happened to be the princess as she was pulled near him.

The young magician man looked at her and stared at her green eyes, as he asked her. "Dear, what is your name?" She looked at him shyly and responded. "M-My name is Rehema.." He smiled and magically made her a lotus flower using his smoke like illusions. She blushed brightly and was in shock as the young knight was very nervous as he was trying to get to her through the thick crowd. A breeze of the wind had caught her hood as it blew off her head, revealing her identity. "The Princess?!" The crowd looked shocked, as she was shocked and nervous as well. The magician man was even more surprised that everyone called her princess.

She had quickly ran away, leaving the lotus flower and the young knight following right behind her as they soon vanished out of sight. The young magician picked up the flower as he stared at it, he may have just felt this thing called love at first sight.."
