Goddes of War

Chapter 3 [EDITED]

Alexandria's POV

I woke up from the throbbing pain that's coming from my shoulder. I got up from the bed and frowned. 'How come I was sleeping on a bed? The last thing I remember was I'm in a forest, talking with...' I gasped. Did they kidnapped me?

I looked around and found out that I'm in an unfamiliar room. The walls are made out of stones and it looks like I'm in some kind of house that is built in during the ancient period. 'What the hell is happening? I remember that guy said that the current pharaoh of Egypt is Tutankamen and I am in Hattusa. But if that's true then I am currently in the ancient times? But how? Why am I here? No, this can't be. I need to go back to that forest. There may be some kind of mistake. I can't stay here.

I started looking for my things and noticed that even the clothes I am wearing changed. 'What the hell?' Somehow I felt violated because they changed my clothes without asking me. They should have let me slept with my clothes on.

The door suddenly opened snapping me out of my thoughts, a boy I've never saw emerge. He is young, around 15-17 years of age, I think. He has short black curly hair, black eyes, pointed nose and thin lips and he has tanned skin.

"Oh you are awake. I have to tell the prince." He muttered and he put the water he brought in the room.
When he was about  to run off somewhere,
"Wait!" I called out to him. He turned to me with questioning eyes.
"I..Uhm...Tell me, where am I?"
"Your in Prince Kail's castle." He smiled.
I frowned. 'Prince Kail? Castle?' I was about to ask who is this Prince Kail? When the door burst open, the men I saw in the forest emerge. They've changed their clothes. Three of them is wearing light armor, they were the one who was holding the axe, bow and arrow and sword. So they are warriors. Another one is wearing something similar with the boy, maybe he is an attendant. The one with silver hair is wearing something like robes. And the man that caught my attention, the one who was in the middle during the fight and the one that I've saved, is wearing a thin clothes that look like a dress that reach on his thighs. It is plain and very simple. I think it is the clothes for men here. Since they are all wearing similar clothes. He wears jewelries that can't be mistaken for fakes and he really looks like a royalty.

If my understanding is correct, then this man must be Prince Kail and he is the one who brought me here. With that realization, I instinctively took a step back to create more space between us. Even though they haven't done anything to me and I saved this man, I can't be sure that they will not try to hurt me since four of them have swords. I eyed them carefully. With the current state of my shoulder, I wont be able to win if I were to fight them off. So that left me no choice but to run in case they wanted to do something bad.

"I see that you are awake..." Kail said.
"Why... Why am I here? What do you want from me?" I eyed them cautiously. He took a step towards me, I took one step back. He frowned but continued to come closer to me. In every step he take, I took a step back. This continues until my back hit the wall. The others just observe this exchange.

"You have to calm down. We won't hurt you. I won't let them. We brought you here because we can't leave you in the middle of a forest on your own. Not when your unconscious." He explained. His eyes shows sincerity. I look at the others. When they made no move to deny his statement I allow myself to relax a little.

There is something with this man that drawns me into him. I mean, I felt like this is supposed to happen. And that I could trust him.

"Besides, I owe you my life. It is the least I could do." He added and he looked so sincere that the only thing I could do was nod and believe his words.

"We just wanted to know your name. And what were you doing in that forest and why are you alone."

"You won't believe me." I averted my eyes but makes sure that they are still visible on my peripheral view. Just in case.

"We won't know unless you tell us." Kail pursuaded me.

"I don't belong belong here. I uh... I don't know what happened but I am not a part of your world." I tried to tell them. But I know that they didn't understand me. Honestly, I don't know what's happening, really. My thoughts are scattered and for the life of me, I can't understand how is it possible that I am here.

"We don't..."

"Understand?" I cut Kail of. And they nodded. The guys at the back of Kail look at me as if I grow another head. I still don't know their names so I'll call the guy with silver hair guy 1, the archer is guy 2, the axe user is guy 3, the swordsman is guy 4 and the one with a headband is guy 5.

"I came from the future. Like, thousand of years from now. I know that I sound bat shit crazy and I don't know how it happened but you have to help me return to my time." I started to ramble.

"Your from the future? That's impossible." Guy 3 said.
"No, actually a very powerful priest can pull you into this world." Guy 1 said. And that caught my attention.
"Then, h... how can I return?" I asked looking at him in the eyes. Watching his eyes so that I know if he's lying to me or not. I was trained to detect whether a person is lying or not.
"You need a priest that is as powerful as the one that brought you here." At his words,  my heart beats rapidly.
"Then where can I..."
I was cut off by guy#1 and said "You have one right in front of you." He gestured towards Kail.
My eyes widen, he is a priest?
"Yes, I can send you back but we need to wait for the Ishtar star to show because it is only then that my powers are at its peak." Kail said to me.
"How.." I inhaled deeply and looked at his eyes.
"How long?"
"A year."

I gulped. I have to stay here that long? Why is this happening to me? I felt my legs getting weaker so I sit on the bed and let their words sink in.
