Amsi's POV

I followed Naunet to out of the temple. I was admiring her body structure, slowly scanning her from behind. It didn't take long before we made it to our exit, we both were blinded by the sunlight.

"It's about time you two showed up." One of my men named Amenemhat who was goofing around with the other men. Amenemhat wasn't that big nor did he have any muscles, but he was very smart and that's all he needed in a battle.

"Sorry we're late we were caught up in something." I rubbed the back of my neck trying to avoid the men's gaze. Naunet looked up at me and smiled, I gave one back at her. I looked into her hazel eyes.

"Yeah I can see that." Amenemhat laughed at Naunet and I looked at each other. I gave him a go crawl under a rock and die look. He just laughed at me. I looked back at Naunet; she had a light blush on her cheeks.

"Ok should we start?" I asked her, gazing at her hazel eyes. She gave me a nod and walked towards the middle of the court yard. I followed her, taking my time I looked around the court yard; there were palm trees, shrubs and some kind or purple flowers growing around the court yard. I reached the middle of the yard with her at my side at this point. I looked at her "Ok, we are going to start with some stances ok?" She smiled and nodded.

We spent a couple of minutes practicing different stances, but she learned fast. A couple of guy were snickering at us, which Naunet managed to pick up my go crawl under a rock and die look, hell her look was scarier than mine was.

"What next?" She gave me an innocent smile. 'It seems there is something odd about Naunet' I though as I walked away to grab some weapons. 'She's hiding something.' I looked back at my men, 'who is the best khopesh fighter?' I asked my eyes eventually locked on Nassor. 'Of course he knew every weapon in the kingdom. I'll choose him.'

"Nassor, you want to show the princess how to use a khopesh?" I tossed him one of the khopesh to him to catch. He gladly joined us giving a taunting smile to her. He carefully taught Naunet how to properly hold the khopesh. She really learns fast. They went through different positions to strike the opponent.

Nassor told her that her opponents wouldn't go easy on her so he had to put some real strength behind his teaching skills. He walked a couple of feet in front of her, turned back at her then charged her at full speed. This was a test on how good she is at blocking; she managed to block the worrier's khopesh and kicked him to the floor, her actions amazed everyone including myself.

Her face began to show red; I knew she could not hold the laughter that she kept within herself; laughing so hard she held her stomach. "Honestly you all didn't think a daughter of Anubis wouldn't have any previous training?"

The Marketplace/village

Tamaryn's POV

The cool night breeze of the desert did not help our wet clothes, but luckily for me I had Donovan; he held me tight trying to keep me warm. I looked back to my best friend; who was finished air drying her hair, and started to pull her hair back into a messy bun as she always did.

Every now and then Evy would break our silence with a gentle sneeze. Rick would give her a sideway glance when she sneezed. We all knew we couldn't get any warmth till the sun raised; nor dry clothes till we reached the village.

"We should be there in a little bit." Shaleigh told Evy, and she went on to check on the guns. "Gun powder is still wet. I do not want any trouble, nor do I want to spill any blood of innocent villagers. Got that?!" She made it obvious to Rick, Jonathan, and the smelly warden.
