Chapter One: Prologue
Egypt ancient times.
Somewhere echoing in a chamber, a baby cries for comfort and attention. But no one comes.
Gentle flames flickered, it's light against the golden trim and ivory marble of the bedroom chambers gleam. A sudden agonizing cry of a woman came to the baby's ears further disturbing the child.
Silent and moving shadows grew larger in the room in the light of the dying flames. Sun was setting and there was not much time.
Maharet swiftly entered the room and loomed over there crying baby's crib.
''Hush now my Princess, I come to take you away. Akasha will not kill you this night. '' A soft obliging coo came from the child as she was lifted into her arms. ''Your poor mother has paid the price, but your father has made certain you will be saved. Now I will be your mother, and no one will harm you while I live. Sleep little one for we have a long journey ahead. ''
The child obeyed and slowly her eyes flicker closed as she was whisked away in the cover of night.
