CLEOPATRA

Cleopatra was known for many things, her love affairs being one of them.

But when the role of Pharaoh arises without her knowledge, and complications become too much between her and her fellow kin.

Cleopatra is stuck with what is right and what is wrong. Being exiled from Egypt for a crime she did not commit, with no knowledge of her importance in Egypt.

She is forced to travel with only her handmaiden and trustee guard. That is until she stumbles across a Roman soldier, one who not only will bring her glory.

But teach her of love and all its wonder.

In a life of struggle and complications, Cleopatra learns of things that she has never known before. Learning how the greed for power can destroy ones sanity. As well as, the importance of trust, as she travels upon her path, leading to her destiny.

No doubt, she will need help by one particular soldier - Julius Caesar.

But can she balance her love and duty?

"Who are you?"

Julius' callous fingers caressed Cleopatra's hair intimately, his eyes fixated on her chocolate brown ones.

Sucking in a breath, she replied with caution "It seems dear sir, you have a bit of a hearing problem. As it is, your wounds may have effected your mental state. But no fear I shall remind you, my name is Cleopatra, I am merely a peasant who wishes to find her purpose."

He chuckled "No doubt you are a strong - willed woman, I can see the fire in your eyes. But with this desire you have, you forget that you live in a world, where purpose for women are just to breed."

"If that is what you think, then so be it. But when you see me on an iron throne, then I will be the one laughing contentedly."
