Atem finally left the throne room. He needed a break from the meetings and affairs he had dealt with all day. Heading to his favorite balcony, the pharaoh watched the sun set before the Nile. The view pleased him. Taking it in with a sense of comfort, he closed his eyes. After a few moments he heard the sound of horses galloping. Cracking his eyes open, he spotted Mana. The king released a sigh of relief. He was glad his best friend made it home safely. He looked around before spotting another female behind her. Tilting his head, the pharaoh curiously eyed the woman. Soft white silk covered her figure. She seemed angelic. Strong golden glints gave way to the jewelry covering her arms and torso.

The women then looked up at him.

The moment their eyes met, he felt a joyous emotion like never before. Her (E/C) eyes sparkled with ambition. (H/C) hair surrounded her face, making her (S/C) skin stand out. The women looked down quickly, almost as if she felt bashful. Had she realized he was the pharaoh? Looking the pharaoh in the eye without his command was an indication of disrespect. But somehow... it felt as if it was okay to Atem. Who was this woman? He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the running of flats across the floor,

"My pharaoh! ATEMMM!"

Startled, the pharaoh turned to face the female,

"Yes Mana? Is something wrong?"

"Nope. I just have very good news for you",

The excited girl twirled in circles before the pharaoh. Atem looked at the female with amusement,

"Well, what is it?"

"I have brought someone who may be fit to be a palace guard! She saved me and this other woman earlier today. You should have seen how amazing it was like-"

The pharaoh cut out the rest of Mana's rambling,

"A fit women you say? Well, it is only fair if we discuss the qualifications and such with her"

"Yes of course! May I bring her into the palace? I actually invited her to dinner ... hehe... I'm very sorry for doing so without your permission"

Mana rubbed her hands together anxiously. She felt as though she betrayed her king,

"That is fine. Make sure to not do that again"

The pharaoh walked off, ordering the servants to make the meal for dinner. Mana quickly ran off to find Calixta. She let out a sigh of relief. Surely the pharaoh would make her pay for what she did in some way.

'He's probably gonna make me sweep the floor'.

Although she felt a bit upset, she was still happy. She was sure her new friend and the pharaoh would get along well enough to earn her a job.
