Tittle: Phoenix's soul Volume 1: Pharaoh's heart Chapter 4 (3/3)

 

(chapter 3 : intertwined fates part 3/3)

 

“No, Ata it’s true, I felt something”

“Ok... Hmmm… let me guess if your light stay here, you want her to be your ‘pleasure slave, take her, devour her  and kiss her” the prince teased the king with actions,

 

“snap out of it  Ata, you know I hate sex slaves or pleasure or any perverted woman that only cares for bodily desires and besides I know I won’t fall for her” he became serious “if something happens to my light and me, as well, please take over the throne and avenge our death, please Ata”

 

“yes I will, of course my cousin I will and about the girl I’ll make bid for it, 20 coins of gold, you will make her your sex slave to make her yours…” a smug face was too visible on the prince face and then he turn his face to sad expression “go to sleep Alim, you need to rest, and I will lead some men to fetch her, your SOUL MATE, heheehehh” he teased with a sad smile

 

“Cut it out” he said

 

The night came but the king was awakened by his dreams, he knows something will really happen so even he felt terrible, he forced himself to stand and wear his cloak to disguise himself and he went to Ata,

 

“My king? You wear like foolish my king and its midnight, what do you want?” the prince said drowsily

 

“we have to go Ata and now, come get your cloak,  we will ride and leave so we will arrive there exactly after lunchtime” Ata took his cloak and they managed to get a horse and be out of the gate before he asked

 

“Where are we going?”

 

“To the village of Amaranth”

 

“Your light’s village? I thought you will just order men and it should be on the next, next, next day?

 

“I felt the sting getting stronger and—OOUCH...” he was cut off with a sudden pain on his birthmark

 

“Cousin, are you alright are you sure, you want to go there, you seemed not able to do it”

 

“No, I have to…I need to protect my light, I need to rode their before it’s too late”

 

The two rode on the road for hours, even they made lot of stops as the king’s pain worsen more and more, but still they made it, it was almost lunchtime but they were suddenly stopped by the agonizing pain the king felt

 

“My king, please tell me your okay”

 

“Ah...Ah... Ata it hurts, I can’t hold on, this pain is too much, my birthmark stings like a force or something really feeding my strength,” and suddenly

 

“It’s gone”

 

“Gone?”

“The pain is gone; well let’s go now before it comes back”

 

When  they  arrived  in  the  village  they  saw  something  was  happening,  there  was commotion and shouting, they can hear some shouted ““Are you sure she ran this way”

“I am certain of it “ and after they can hear shouting like “kill her, kill her, and she’s a witch” but they chose not to mind the commotion as they were there for the girl not some weird witch problem but suddenly the pain again came back and it seemed his KA, was being  drained or his power have been used and he felt so weak and he fainted almost an hour , when he woke up the commotion was gone and they decided to go on, to the girl’s house

 

“You fainted  my  lord,  I  think  you  really  like  that  girl  because  even  you’re not feeling  well  you forced  yourself”

 

“It’s not about that Ata, I feel ok, when I fainted  I  felt  something draining my power, or as if someone was using my powers and almost pushed me to my limits,  I don’t know how, but it seems I was placed on dangerous  situation  and  I  was  forced to use my powers  without  focusing,  that’s  what I felt’

 

“You are crazy my lord”

 

They stopped on the front of the door and heard someone was crying inside,

 

“They have to let go of her, they knew this time will come”

 

“But you can’t really blame them, she was her daughter then you just junk her out and take somewhere else”

 

“I know let’s just knock” the king knocks on the door and a crying woman opened, she gasped before she began to cry

 

“My lord, she’s gone” cries more

 

“Gone? What do you mean about she’s gone”

 

*end flashback*

 

The prince was cut off of his thoughts as he heard something near the swamp

He prepared himself and unsheathed his sword, he prepared his magic as he went near the swamp and there he found the man, hiding wearing a black hooded cloak covering half the face…

 

“Who are you? Are the one who did that to our king” he shouted but his palm was ready with his fireball, prepared and ready to fire

 

“Oh… it’s the foolish prince, son of a slave, yes… I am the one, what will you do? Kill me, haahahahah” the man also prepared his fireball and they went on circles watching their enemy with glares and then Ata was the first one to strike, he fired the formed fireball on his palm and he quickly tapped his power with shadow as a ghameq, to make it even stronger, it was night so his power was even stronger, the shadows follows his focus on forming any sharp or offense fires and he also used his sword and he manage to cut the left leg of the enemy even his enemy tried to shield himself from the attacks the prince released, the enemy used his earth element to shake the ground but Ata just dodged and fired a huge form of fire, the opponent was out focus as he used all his strength to shield the huge fireball when the prince rushed towards him and his sword covered with shadow KA, placed on the neck of the opponent

 

“Who ordered or commanded you to kill our king, are you one of this group of bandits called kemosiri? What is your purpose, on taking the kings light and why you want the king killed, and where are the others?”

 

“heheehehe… yes I am with that group but I won’t tell our purpose nor who commanded me to do this things” he said

 

“Then I shall kill you”

 

“You can’t kill me” then the man breathe fire that the prince tried to dodge but when he dodged the man was gone, he manage to escape

 

“DAMMIT!!!”  His anger rose and he shot some shadow form ball into the wall and the part where it touches vanished into thin air

 

“My prince, are you alright?” the vizier and the other council came as they heard their fight but they were too late

 

“Vizier Uab, where have you been?” the prince asked as he managed to remember, when the commotion was going on the vizier was missing

 

“I went home to my family my prince, then council Kamewati sent me a message about this commotion and I ran just in time I heard the fighting’s and the other council saw me

 

“Yes, my prince I sent him a message and we saw him rushing when we also heard the fight, what happened my prince” the high priest Kamewati proved the advisor’s reason

 

“Well I guess, I have found the assassin and fought with him, I need to explore about this and gather some information and I want it by tomorrow” the prince commanded

 

“Yes sire”

 

 The council was about to leave when the prince caught an eye on the left leg of the high priest and he called

 

“Priestess Kamewati, why do you have a cut on your left leg” he asked

But the priestess giggled and answers the prince for him

 

“he almost killed himself “giggling “because I shouted when I saw a rat and he came running and the soldiers too holding his sword, they stumble with each other and luckily he just got that cut, the sword accidentally flew through towards him”

 

“Ah ok I thought, just nothing”

 

He thought maybe he was the man, but when the priestess answered and it seems she was not lying when he saw the reaction of the priest like he was annoyed with the priestess, he erased that idea, he commanded the council to go back to their work and try to collect information about the group then he decided to check up on the king

When he went to the chamber he found Ai-ka a bit dizzy but she managed to walk

 

“Are you now alright Ai-ka?” Ai-ka looks on the person who called her

 

“My prince, yes Ata, I am fine, how about the king?”

 

“I still don’t know, I went to look for the suspect, when I found, Dammit he escaped, but I vowed to the gods of kemet, I shall make him pay”

 

“I know you will find him again, let’s go inside and ask Ania if the king is alright”

 

They knocked and Ania opened, she gasped and pleasantly glad to see Ai-ka was now alright

 

“Is the king alright? He won’t die right? He’s out of danger now?” Ai-ka asked

 

“If you’re alright now, I think the king is now just resting and later soon he will wake up”

 

“Huh? Me? Ok if you say so, Ania, I wa—want...a…eh…”

 

“What is it? I guess you want to help me take care of the king?”

 

She nods and blushes

 

“Ok and you my prince, what happened to your search did you find the man who was responsible for this?

 

“I want you and you too Thoth, in private”

 

“Ok, my prince” answered the magician walking towards them

“Well I am bit tired too, I guess I have to walk it out too, please take care of the king Ai-ka” Aneb said

 

“Ok I will Aneb” Ai-ka answered

 

The four people went out of the room and Ai-ka was left behind with the king

When they were out they were talking about the man, they don’t want to let Ai-ka hear any so the others get the hint

 

“So did you find him my prince?” the healer asked

“Yes, I found him, we fought in the king’s private garden near the swamp and I almost got him but he managed to escape”

 

“Do think, this man is with the group who kidnapped the king’s light” the magician asked

 

“yes, he’s with the group called kemosiri, I tried to ask him what’s their purpose but he told nothing and he breath fire and manage to escape”

 

“I think, they know about the connection between the two, and they want to kill the king, by killing Ai-ka, but this time, I think they have a mistaken objective instead of Ai-ka the king was the one who was hit, “the healer spoke her ideas

 

“Maybe you’re right Ania, but what is their purpose on killing the king and who are these people? And I have a feeling one of them is inside the palace, blending and maybe we have traitors inside the council, there are only few who knew, about their connection and the place where she lives, I guess we should be cautious about the people around us”

 

“Traitors? Are sure?” Aneb asked

 

“yes, traitors, I can sense someone in our council’s been giving information, you Aneb guard Ai-ka and don’t worry if the king will get jealous on you, I’ll be the one to talk to him about it, Thoth and Ania I know I can trust you both, we should gather more information about this group and who’s behind those things and who the traitors are and we need to be secretive about this”

 

“Yes my prince” they said in accord

 

And they both went in separate ways, as Thoth went to the sacrament chamber

And the healer went to the healing room with Aneb and Ata went to the royal library and tried to search more information, while Ai-ka was left alone

 

“Alim, I hope you’re going to be ok now” she took some towel and began wiping the sweat of the king when she heard the king whisper in his dream

 

“Ai-ka,Ai-ka” twisting a bit

 

Unknown to the king that the name he whispered was listening to him, because he was still caught upon his dreams…

 

*flashback*

 

“Even you well make it double, still I won’t fall for her”

 

“Don’t be too sure; my kings” the prince said it smirking

 

They were about to leave when the woman ran towards them

 

“Wait, my king, if you found someone, ask her name”

 

When he heard it the king stopped and tried to listen and he asked

 

“What’s her name, Sakura?”

“Your light’s name sire” she cried “Ai-ka, my little one”

 

“Ai-ka” and he smiled “little one”

 

*end of flashback*

 

“Ai-ka” then his eye slowly cracks open, when he saw the girl, his light he immediately hugs her as the woman hugs him back

 

When Ai-ka noticed the sweat on the king face she climbed onto the bed and wiped the sweat when the eyes of the man slowly cracks open and then just a second she found herself in strong arms, hold her tightly, warmly and she hold back as warm as he holds her and she heard the king say

 

“Ai-ka, little one I finally found you”

 

Then it seemed the time stopped as they savor the warmth of each other’s arms, before Ai-ka giggled as the king started brushing her hair and kissing her head, as he smell the sweet apple scent of Ai-ka while Ai-ka devoured all the scent she likes, the scent of cinnamon and rose petal, before she asked

 

“Found me?”

 

“Hmmm…” still stiffing the scent of Ai-ka when he remembered something “your mother was worried about you, she cried a lot”

 

“Okaa-san?” she immediately stared at the king

 

“Okaa-san? I thought your mother was sakura?”

 

“Silly” she giggles “okaa-san means mother and yes her name is sakura, how did you know? And when did you last saw her, is she okay?”

 

“Hmmm… I’ve known her since I was young and the last time I saw her it was about five years ago, when I came to your house to pick you up. But I was late, too late, I am sorry”

 

“You went there, so it’s true that you were looking for the person with the birthmark? And you’ve known her when you were young?”

 

”I am not looking for anybody especially just to kill and I am not looking for someone I already know where she lives and I know your mother because of this” he let Ai-ka see his birthmark and the girl gasped and eyes widened in realization

 

“You’re my Yami? That means you went there to pick me up because I am your hikari? But I thought you went there three days from the day I was taken and who was that man who took me into the slave market? That wasn’t your man?”

 

“wow, for a young woman, you have a lot of questions, first I don’t know what Yami and hikari is, second I went there early than three days because I fear something will happen to you, but It was still too late and about those men, they weren’t my men and I have a feeling, who hit me instead of you was one of the person who took you that day” he answered

 

“Oh, I really thought it’s your men, that’s why I am afraid of you when I first came here”

 

“So, that’s your reason?”

 

“Yes, before they took me into the slave market they told me that they have orders to kill me, but they took pity on me, so they gave me to that man, a man who handles the slaves and next they gave me to the other until the last master I was in was the master who lives in

El-Khulna, the place where you saw me, but all of them told me you want to kill me”

 

“Hmmm… still scared of me now?”

 

“No, now that I know you’re my Yami of course not”

 

“Yami?”

 

“Ah, yes Yami is ghameq in your language and hikari is fateh”

 

“Ah, Yami is shadow, hikari is light, okaa-san is mother and the word I really hate kirai means I hate you”

 

The woman giggled and she played with his nose, framing the tip and

 

“You’re trying to learn my language right?” she said while staring at the lips of the king then she blushes as she was shy on what she wanted to ask

 

“Can—I—ki—ki—kiss you?” she shuttered so much

 

The king was shocked that the girl asked him if she can kiss him. Hell no, everyone knows how happy the king will be if the girl kisses him so why need to ask “ofcour-“ but he was cut off when two lips smashed onto his own, he was more shock when the girl slides her tongue pleading for entry, so the king granted her request and the girl savored the taste of sweetness

 

‘I think I love him, yes… I love him’ she thought and the king was also thinking the same thoughts she has ‘Ata is right, I guess he won again, I’m in love with my light, I love her’ and then they enjoyed the taste of kisses as they kissed and kissed again repeatedly

 

Meanwhile on a different place

 

“Sutekhi, I heard you failed guarding the chosen two?” a deep boom voice said

 

“I am indeed repentant RA, but next time, I’ll make sure they will be together safe and sound”

 

“Yes, next time you need to do your job well and so I paired you with her” and a rebel looking long haired woman came out

 

“Use the name Sakh, and disguise yourself”

“Yes, RA, I will do my best to protect them as your eye and ears I know I can do this job well than he can” the woman said as he stared at the man

 

“You’re joking, right RA? If she will be out on the grounds, she will just make chaos to everything” Sutekhi said

 

“It’s not my problem it’s your problem”

 

“Great!!” 

 

 

Ai-ka and Alim: (still busy kissing)

 

Anne: (clear my throat) hmm no responds, well guys I think Ai-ka and Alim is busy making out

 

We need to find someone to do the closing

 

(walk towards some dimension)

 

Anne: hello, God Ra

 

RA: YES!!

 

Anne: wow, your voice Is loud, ahm could you do the closing

 

RA: ( adjust his voice) of course I can
