Pharaoh's Concubine Volume 2

Prologue

Those familiar words echoed in her ears over and over again, making her almost suspect that she had returned to that moment of warmth and happiness.

The clear sky was tinged with a mournful crimson, and the relentless currents of a river washed its steep banks. The breaths of the warriors and their sounds of battle faded away, blood soaking the parched earth.

Gods of Egypt, hear my call...

God Horus, thank you for giving me the courage and strength to defend and fight for my land.

God Amon, protect the souls of my brave soldiers and let them rest in peace.

God Osiris, bless the dead who were faithful to Egypt, and give them a second life.

Goddess Habib, do your divine commandment and leave behind the man before me, my beloved, my Ramses.

Even if my heart stops beating. Even if my life ends.

She stood there as if her limbs were tightly bound.

No matter how much she tried to scream and move, her body seemed to be crushed by a thousand pounds of stone. She was unable to move a muscle.

She could only watch helplessly as, in less than a second, an arrow pierced through the heated air and came roaring down the shaft of his chest, piercing through his young, solid body with unerring force.

He leaned down, his chest squirting bits of blood onto her face. The pungent impact of it felt so real that her limbs instantly shivered. Only a burning sensation, like a sharp needle, stung her skin.

Scattered memories of a scene she had seen in a dream long-ago rushed into her mind. She'd witnessed it in a horrific situation that nearly took her breath away. (Side Note: The above and below are memories that "rushed into her mind". This section is only telling us that, and isn't part of those "memories".)

She couldn't breathe, she couldn't move, she couldn't scream. She watched him slowly collapse before her eyes while smiling gently at her. The life within his pale amber faded as he mumbled words she couldn't hear. She desperately wanted to break through the layers of bondage constraining her. She wanted to get closer and hold him fiercely with all her might... but she couldn't, she still couldn't....

She was bound, unable to move.

His words finally reached her. "I wish to see the roses you love, the castle you live in and its vast green fields. I wish to go to your college, to see your tall buildings, and to fly with you."

His familiar words echoed in her ears over and over again as she closed her eyes in despair. She almost suspected that she had returned to that moment of warmth and happiness.

The smell of sour heat was strong when she opened her eyes.

His face, twisted in pain, still hadn't disappeared from her mind...

All of that happiness, as if it never existed, was simply a false reality....
