Assassin's Creed Orgins; Bayek + Oc of Mine

“Who is that?” One murmured, as the other gave a slight shrug. The horse whined, shaking his head. The figure patted the horse’s neck and tapped the reins gently, as the horse picked up its speed. “That isn’t Bayek, yet.. dresses similar to him.” Another spoke. The figure glanced over to them, and their whispers quiet down. The figure rode past them, as they followed the dirt road towards a quite familiar home. As they led their horse into a gated home, with a pigeon house, the figure climbed off the horse and patted its side before pulling down their hood. The figure was revealed as a lady, yet still no name. “Hepzafa?” She questioned, hoping that a male voice would respond to hers. Sadly, not a single voice replied. She looked around, peeking into the stall to notice his mount was gone. “Must be out doing something for Siwa.” She murmured, as she headed towards the door. The lady sat down on the step, her dual swords clashing against the ground. She rested her elbows on her knees and let out a sigh as her chin rested on her hands. She watched the villagers walk up and down the dirt path, as the guards on horse went by, yelling at them to move.

A cat slanted her way towards the lady, and rubbed aginst her, begging to be petted. The lady smiled slighly, and did so, only to lose the cat’s attention. The cat turned their head towards the gate and hissed, before runing off. The lady took this a sign to hide, and she did so. She head in the somewhat tall wheat and that allowed her to see the gate. She watched as the guards come in, only to be stopped by some frail looking lady, who she quickly recognized at Rabia. “Move.” One of the guards stated, but Rabia refused. “I am afraid that Hepzafa is not here right now.” She replied. “Where is he then?” He questioned. “He often goes to the temple right outside Siwa. Perhaps there?” She suggested. The guard glanced at his group and they all exchange nods before walking away, grumbling. The lady watched Rabia walk away, and she let out a small sigh out, before getting up. She moved over to the mudbrick walls and leaned against it, closing her eyes to listen to the bustling streets.

After a while, she heard hoove steps, and that they seem to move closer. She looked up to see Hepzafa come in with another male. Her gaze landed on the stranger, and instantly recognize him. Bayek. Medjay, who everyone speaks so highly of. She ran into him several times in her journey around Egypt. Hepzafa climbed off his Camel and told bayek to leave his mount there. Hepzafa turned towards the door and he instantly noticed the lady. “Safiya?” He questioned and she cracked a small smile. The two gave a quick hug, and moved away, as she told him hello. Then, Hepzafa beckon them into his home, as Bayek moved over to a table full of scrolls on people. Safiya looked at Bayek, watching the blood covered male give out a small sigh and report that he has killed someone who goes by the "snake" is now dead. Silence fell between the two and Safiya let out a small huff.

-----
At one point, Sayifa and Bayek were suppose to be partners in crime, but I ended up making her a lone wolf. She travels with Bayek onlt because it makes travel less lonely and boring.
I even planned that she was to join the Hidden Ones only to quit when things went to shit.
