the scorpion king

Betrayed

It was the next day as they packed up dyiana was putting away some of her weapons in the satchel that was tied to her camel. As Mathiyus was shown ties the red Rubie's they were payed before putting it away as he walked past two horse's his brother and a fellow warrior ride. We can reach memnons encampment by nightfall"jessup explains while he watches his brother and his wife get on there camels.

He shakes his head"when are y'all gonna get rid of those filthy beats"jessup says causing dyiana to look at him offended on what he called her riding companion who bellows as she makes her stand up by pulling on the reigns she tied as her camel stands up tall before her husband does the same thing.

Mathiyus smiles"he doesn't mean anything by it"he tells his camel as he puts the head.

"Horses are faster"jessup pointed out as Mathiyus and dyiana share a smile"but camels are smarter"her husband says as she laughs before they smack there camels behind as they ride off leaving jessup and the fellow warrior to hurriedly mount there horse as they ride off.

Soon it was night as memnons encampment is shown as a guard stands watch before something whistles in the air before he is hit in the head as he falls to the ground. Before Mathiyus stands up running over quietly as he picks up the two ball chain he threw before making a whistle bird call.

Dyiana stands up from her spot before quietly running over as she crutches next to her husband as they signal to one of there fellow warrior who nods his head before twirling his two ball chain before throwing it at the next guard takeing them out. Dyiana and Mathiyus then slowly crunch walked as they look at the camp when jessup runs over kneeling down beside them.

As they get ready there weapons"that ones mine"Mathiyus says as they see a guard by a tent.

Jessup looks at his brother and sister in law"live free"he tells them as they each grab each other by the up arm"die well"they said together before each one went there separate ways. Dyiana carefully and quiet walked down the hill useing the shadows to sneek up on the guard as she sneaks up pulling out her dagger before covering the guards mouth as she slits his throat and dropping his body to the ground before moving forward before she was tackled down the ground by another guard. She grunts before lifting her self up then grabs the guard before throwing him over her shoulder. Just then another one comes out as she draws her sword before they clash.

She fights with strength as she pushes the guard back with each strike before Memnon him self walks over with fellow guards as they watch her twist the swim out of her opponents hand catching the sword as she makes an x with the sword getting ready to make the finishing move.

She tensed hearing clapping as she turns her head seeing memnon standing there with his personal guards."well I got to say I'm impressed but if you don't surrounded I will kill your brother in law"he says as he steps out the way showing two of his guards holding a beaten jessup as she glares at memnon hatefully as she was breathing hard. 

She lowers her weapons before they are taken away from her as they grab her by the arms before she and Jessup are dragged to where Mathiyus was with the sorcerer. Dyiana was shocked to see the sorcerer was in fact a sorceress. But she more shocked at seeing the kings son with the enemy.

Mathiyus glares at the guards who hold his wife and brother as he was tied up at the moment memnon walks over to him before taking his dagger as he admires it"beautiful bring him to me"before walking away as he struggles against the ropes when the guards drag is brother over.

Dyiana struggles against the guards as jessup was brought to memnon. Memnon grabs Jessup by the hair pulling his head back exposing his neck"Mathiyus. Dyiana live free"he grunts knowing his fate. Dyiana stares at her brother in law as she and Mathiyus look at him in defeat "die well my brother"they said just as memnon slices his neck open.

Anger was boiling in dyiana as she thrashed around "you bastard I'll kill you"she shouts in Akkadian as she glares at the men hateful. The sorceress watches them sadly as memnon walks forward towards Mathiyus "so how shall you or her die?"he says with a smirk.

The sorceress steps forward"they shall not die tonight "she says causing dyiana and Mathiyus to look at her in shock.

"Or really"memnon says as he brings the dagger close to Mathiyus neck"nor shall they die by your hand or any hand you command"she says causing memnon to pause as he turns and walks over to her."you have seen this in a vision" he asked her.

"To ignore this would bring great misfortune. The gods show him and her favor on this night "the sorceress explains as dyiana and Mathiyus look at her in confusion.

"Just the gods"he asked as he stares at her for a moment before walking away as he walks over to dyiana and Mathiyus "a puzzle then. How to kill you both without using my hand or any hand I command."he says before the leader of the guard smacks Mathiyus in the head with the stone pitch fork he was holding knocking Mathiyus conscious. Then he walks over to dyiana who glares at him. The man grins before swinging the pitch fork at her in the head knocking her out cold as she goes limp in the guards arms that held her back.
