After arriving at the kingdom, Mana gazed at the intricate jewelry displays. She found the surrounding markets and shops interesting. All types of clothing ranging from sheath dresses to kalasiris's intrigued the woman. While looking around in curiosity, Mana pulled her bag out. She was looking forward to buying some things.

She thought back to her original purpose. Mana examined the people, looking for anyone who could work at the palace. As the girl continued on her happy trip, she couldn't help but feel as if something was off. Thirty minutes later, a gunshot resounded,

"Oh dear ra what is happening!"

The female prepared to run into safety, only to realize a burglary had occurred.

"Help! Please! That man had just taken my money!"

To aid the elderly woman, Mana attempted to chase after the man. However, her attempt only worsened the situation as the burglar snatched her bag, pulling it out of her delicate hands.

'Well this isn't good'

In a flash of white, Mana saw a woman chase after the said burglar. The woman lunged onto the man, putting him into a choke hold before throwing him across the ground. Finally, she handed the elderly woman her cash before handing Mana her bag. The guards took the burglar into custody.

"Thank you so much dear", said the elderly woman as she collected her money from the woman in white.

"No need to thank me, it was my pleasure"

The woman in white hopped onto her horse in an attempt to continue traveling once more. After witnessing what had just taken place, Mana realized the woman's skill and strength had been on full display for her! They were impeccable! The female wondered what other strengths the woman in white possessed. She stopped her thinking and called out to her,

"Hello! Please wait!"

The woman looked at Mana, "Oh! How may I help you?"

Now closer, Mana realized the woman's dress had beautiful designs. A handful of golden items decorated her hands and figure. She continued,

"Thank you for helping me, I wanted to ask you if I could repay you with dinner?",

"Oh no, I could not waste your time. I am sure you must have your hands full"

"Nonsense!"

Mana slightly panicked as she had wanted the women to join her for a discussion regarding the topic of palace guards,

"I much rather invite YOU to eat with me, I have something I would like to discuss with you"

Mana wanted the woman to come to the palace so they may further continue their discussion, and the Pharaoh could also consider whether the woman was fit to be a guard. She rubbed her hands mischievously,

'This would be like killing two birds with one stone'.

The woman chuckled, "I much rather invite YOU to eat and discuss with me, it is only fair as you do not know who I am. I would like to prove I am not a danger in case you may think I am",

Mana thought for a second, 'She sure is persistent, but I will not take no for an answer'

Narrowing her eyes, she answered the woman with a final reply,

"oh no no no. This is alright, just have your stallion follow me and I shall lead the way!"

Leaving no room for the woman to retaliate, Mana hopped on to her horse with the guards following closely behind, -especially behind the said women-, for the reassurance of Mana's safety. She sighed, shaking her head at her best friend's overprotectiveness. Releasing a smile, Mana thought back to her recent discovery,

'Ohh yes! Atem will be content once I show him the woman I have brought to manage as a guard!'

The woman in white chuckled at Mana's behavior. She examined the female, realizing she was deep in thought. She loved how exciting it made her feel to know someone such as Mana. Due to her constant traveling, the woman in white rarely had time to make friends.

Calixta aka you POV:
'Wow, that girl sure is exciting, I wonder what it would feel like to have friends like her. At only sixteen years old, I do not have many people to support me. I only wish to find support and comfort in all ways. After all, being a traveler does have its ups and downs. I can still provide for myself thanks to the gifts I have received from the individuals I have helped. It makes me happy to help.'
