Our love is eternal

Requested

Chapter Two

            Requested

It had been two weeks since Atem had seen the beautiful woman he was captivated by when he was out at the market that day. He prayed to Ra every night that he would use his mighty and divine powers to allow him to meet the beautiful girl again.

And every night, his prayers would go unanswered. That is, until today. For the past two weeks, Atem had sent out a servant that was disguised as a villager to search for the maiden that captured his heart. So far the servant had come up unsuccessful. But today when the servant came running in his throne room and sweaty and out of breath, Atem knew it was good news.

“My pharaoh. I-I have found her. She lives on the far east of the city with a small family.” The servant said while catching her breath. Atem nodded then called over one of his guards, the selected guard walking in front of his throne and bowed to him.

“Follow Amunet to the maiden’s house and tell her that she is requested to come to the palace.” Atem ordered. The guard nodded and he and Amunet left the palace.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

Aziza sat quietly in her small sand built brick window watching the villagers go about their day doing whatever they had to do for the day.

“Big sister! Big sister!” An excited child like voice yelled from downstairs. Aziza smiled when she heard her little sisters’ voice call out for her. She rushed down the steps quickly and into the small living room like kitchen. Sitting at a small wooden table was her mother and a tiny young girl who looked around the age of seven with sun kissed skin and mid length black hair that was twisted into two tiny braids. Aziza smiled as she watched the young girl wave her arms around excitedly as she told her mother what she had learned at school. Aziza quietly slipped into the room and sat quietly in one of the empty chairs across from her mother and sister and continued to listen to her sister talk about her day. Finally realizing that Aziza was in the room, her sister wiggled hastily out of her mothers grip and ran towards Aziza. Ana jumped into her arms and let out a big squeal when Aziza wrapped her arms around her and swung her around.

“I missed you big sister.” Ana said hugging Aziza tightly.

“I missed you too my little water lily.” 

Aziza gently put Ana down and took her place back in her chair. Ana climbed in her lap and continued to rant about what she had learned from school.

Right in the middle of her rant, one of the pharaoh’s guards walked into the small home. Anais stood up and stepped in front of her daughters protectively making sure that the only thing standing in-between the guard and her daughters was her.

 “What do you want? We’ve done nothing wrong so you have no right to be here.” She said firmly Anais was a strong woman and very loyal. Ever since she was a child, she always obeyed the rules and never got into trouble. But she made sure to stand her ground when she needed too especially when it came to her family. Anyone who knew her knew to never invoke her wrath when it came to her babies.

“Forgive the intrusion miss. But by the orders of the pharaoh, your oldest daughter has been requested to come to the palace.”

“What for?” she asked her glare intensifying making the guard uncomfortable.

“w-w-well uh- you see t-the-“

“Move aside brother. I got it from here.” A voice said from behind him. The guard moved aside and let a small petit young girl in. Anais studied the young girl. The girl in front of her looked around the age of seventeen. She had long brown hair that was kept neatly in a ponytail and fair tanned skin. She couldn’t really see the girls face due to it being hidden by a purple silk cloth that was wrapped around the bottom half of her face. The young girl bowed to Anais respectively.
