The Scars of Love Part II

At Night....

On the Balcony inside the Palace...

Before nightfall, a group of men were found dead inside the bar. The guards reported it to the Pharaoh and that's when he knew that Bakura has returned and is planning to attack once again. Priest Mahado was devising a plan that would insure Bakura's defeat. He walked up to the Pharaoh and knelt down on one knee. "My Lord, I think you should let me handle Bakura. I have a plan that will trap him and finally defeat him. I just need your approval."

"I trust you. You may do whatever necessary to stop Bakura as long as it doesn't involve bringing harm to my people."

"You need not worry sire, I will not harm the people in any way. All I need is a little time and the plan will be able to commence." The Pharaoh dismissed him and he left. "Its not that I don't trust you my Priest its just that I don't think you are strong enough for Diabound yet but if you feel that you can defeat him than I will not stop you from victory."

"Then why don't you tell him that." Shimon entered and stood to the right of the Pharaoh. "I wouldn't feel right telling him this. I don't won't him to think that I have lost faith in him."

"I understand but if you don't tell him now you might regret it later." The Pharaoh thought about it for a second and then he decided to tell Priest Mahado how he felt. "Alright I'll tell him." Shimon left to retrieve Priest Mahado who was still preparing for his plan. Priest Mahado entered. "You wanted to see me my Lord?"

"Yes, I don't feel that you are strong enough to take on Bakura. I trust you but I couldn't stand to see one of my Priests get killed."

"My Lord, I want to take this mission. I strongly believe that I can defeat Bakura if not I can trap him so that he won't escape. Please, let me do this for you."

"If you feel that way than I will let you go. Just be careful."

Priest Mahado left and Shimon returned. "Feel better?" The Pharaoh stood silently. "I know you are still having second thoughts about this but at least he knows how you feel that way if something serious happens than you have no regrets. By the way, I here that Akeyana is returning back to the Palace. Are you happy?"

"Yes, its been so long and I know she is probably ready to return. Hopefully she is still alive when they find her. How do you think the people would react if I made her my Queen?"

"Personally, I think you should wait a while. The people might like it and some may not like it but wait a few days. Monitor her and see if she is worthy to be a Queen if so then I have no objection to it. Seeing as how you might have to leave the Palace and someone should be here to watch over it and I think she would be perfect."

"I'll wait then. I don't want to rush into it because she might say no. But then again there is a great possibility that she might say yes."

"Before you ask her I think you should tell your Priests about this. I know some might not like the idea but even so it is your decision."

"I think we owe her that much after all the things I've put her through. This will make up for some but not all. But what if she doesn't come back to me? What if she decides to stay? Or what if she comes back with another lover?"

"I doubt it. She can date whoever but she'll still love you no matter what. As I've watched you two on and off I've noticed how she feels about you and how you feel about her. She'll come back to you. I know it. She probably misses you and is ready to return home, where she belongs."

Inside the Temple of Ashta...

"Our Queen will be so pleased when she hears this. We have so far rallied 1500 workers and more are flocking this way. What a great day this has been. Now Ashta will be ready in no time and we can bring our people to Egypt were we will start a new colony and expand from here. Thank heavens. After all this time luck has finally changed in our favor. Now we can rebuild a new kingdom and bring hope to the people." Priestess Ana said.

Inside the Village of the Shepherds...

Natasha, the twins, Queen Teania, and her servant had just arrived at the village and were getting things settled inside the Inn. Queen Teania left the Inn by herself to go and search for Akeyana. As she walked through the village she stopped at a house and peeked into the window. There she saw Akeyana and Christ sitting on the floor talking. "Maybe I should leave Akeyana here. She seems happy and I see she has made some new friends. Maybe..........................this is it. Maybe I should just...........no. I promised the Pharaoh I would bring her back and that's what I'm going to do."

Queen Teania walked up to the doorstep and knocked twice. Christ ran over to the door and cracked it open. "Can I help you?" Christ stared at her oddly because royalty has never come into her house let alone step foot inside the village. "I'm looking for Akeyana. My name is Teania I'm her best friend." Christ opened the door wider and with raging happiness Akeyana ran over to her and gave her a hug. "Teania. Its really you. I missed you so much."

Inside Christ's home...

"I missed you too and everyone has been looking for you. We want you to come back home." Akeyana looked down at Christ who was ready to cry. "I knew someone was coming to get me but I didn't think it would be so soon. I'm sorry that I had you all worried about me."

"Its alright. I was sent by the Pharaoh to come and get you. One of his Priests found you here so I hurried as quickly as possible to come and find you and I promised the Pharaoh that I would return safely with you."

"I'm surprised he missed me at all. I want to see him but I don't want to leave my friends. They've done so much for me." Ironheart came down the stairs and Christ ran over to him crying in his arms. "What's going on here?"

"Umm Teania this is Ironheart and that's Christ. That's her grandfather who helped me."

"Pleased to meet you all, I'm Teania and I was sent by the Pharaoh to come and get Akeyana. I'm sorry if this will cause an inconvenience to you."

"No, I figured that it would be time for Akeyana to return home soon to were she belongs. It was a pleasure having her here as a guest in my house."

"Thank you for everything Ironheart and you too Christ. If it wasn't for you guys I would be dead. It would be my pleasure if you all could come with me."

"Thank you but we cannot. Our home is in this village herding cattle. I would be honored but this is were I belong. You and your friend are welcome to return back to the village anytime. There always be a place for you here." Christ ran over to Akeyana and held tightly onto her. "Please don't leave Akeyana. I want you to stay. Your like an older sister to me. Don't leave me. Please."

"But I have to and I'm sorry. I wish you could come with me but I think you should stay here now and when you get a little older you can come visit me. believe me if I could I would stay but I have to go. I'll miss this quiet peaceful little carefree town. All these kind people, taking care of the cattle, and most of all being with ynd Ind Ironheart. I wouldn't forget this moment for the world and I promise you, I will return one day and come visit you all."

"Well at least let us throw you a Goodbye Celebration before you go. You've done so much for our little town."

"Sounds like fun to me." Christ wiped her face and gave a smile to Akeyana. "Why don't you and your friends stay in our house we have plenty of room."

"Would that be okay with Ironheart?" Ironheart gave a nod and then the three girls left the home and headed back to the Inn to get the others. They all gathered there things and headed back to Christ's house, sitting in Akeyana's bedroom chatting.

Inside Akeyana's room....

"Natasha, what are Asenia's children doing here?" Queen Teania and Natasha looked at each other and then down at the floor. "Akeyana, these children are yours." Akeyana made a playful face hoping that she was joking. "Are you serious?" Natahsa nodded. "Says who?"

"When you gave Bakura Diabound and passed out the Pharaoh said he wanted you to take care of these two because he felt that yould bld be the perfect mother for them so they have been in my custody until I found you." Christ looked at Akeyana and began covering her ears. "Why me? Of all people. I'm not ready to be a mother. How dare he tell me to take care of them after almost getting killed by their mother. How could he do this to me? I'm supposed to sit back and watch them while he has his fun. This is bullshit."

"Akeyana they don't have a family. They are just little kids who need a loving caring mother. To hell with Asenia think about the children and do it for them and I guarantee you that something good will come out of this sooner or later just wait and see."

"Fine, I'll do it. What are they're names?" Natasha picked them up and brought them over to Akeyana who held them in her arms with a smile on her face. Christ uncovered her ears. "They are cute and innocent and I guess I always wanted to have a child or two one day. If it'll make everybody happy I'll take care of them."

"That's the spirit Akeyana. I gave them both silver necklaces with a crystal heart so that they will be easily identifiable. The one with the pink crystal heart is Taos and the one with the yellow crystal heart is Tagnus."

"They're beautiful. I'll be sure to take good care of them even if they are Asenia's children." Queen Teania gave Natasha a nudge and Natasha just remembered something else she had to tell Akeyana. "Akeyana, when we get back to the Palace, I think you should keep a close eye on Maya."

"I already know. She probably did something to the Pharaoh to make me leave him so that she can have him for herself but I won't do that. I'll deal with that bitch later but, for now I want to enjoy my time in the village while I can before I go." Akeyana stood up aut tut the twins in her bed as they slowly veered off too sleep.

"But how did you know?" Queen Teania and Natahsa said.

"Its just coincidence. I knew she liked him way ahead of time and if I'm not their what's going to stop her from seducing him for her own sexual pleasures. That's the only thing she wants. Isn't that what most girls want? They want the handsome Pharaoh to fuck their brains out because their whipped. I'm already aware of all this and like I said when I get back it won't be all hugs and kisses." They all stared at Akeyana still shocked as to how she knew. "Well, goodnight everybody." They all returned to their rooms and went to sleep."

~Next day~

Inside Akeyana's room...

Akeyana had just woken up and didn't here anyone in the house. She looked in everyone's room, ran downstairs and looked everywhere, and then she looked outside in the back, but no one was their. "Oh shit!!! I can't believe I over slept." Akeyana ran back upstairs into her room and ripped off all her clothes and took a quick bath. She put on her make up and oils and noticed some neatly folded clothes sitting on the table. She put on the gold bra top and then tied the short skirt all white with the big blue and pink flowers on it and put on her gold sandals, gold bracelets, and gold earrings. She ran downstairs and out the door only to find all the townspeople standing outside saying. "SURPRISE!!!!" to Akeyana.

In the Village...

As she was catching her breath she giggled a little and then gave everyone hugs, kisses, and thank yous. Everyone gave her a gift and she got to sit in a special seat with Christ on her right side and Ironheart on the left as her and her friends sat and hed hed the festivities. "This is so wonderful. Its simply amazing. I feel like a part of a family as I sit and watch everyone here doing all this for me. I'll miss them so much. All the laughs, smiles, and things she taught me. Helping me through those troubled times, I owe her so much. How could such a sweet, young, and innocent girl have lost her parents? If I could I would be her mother, her big sister, her father, whatever. I'll never forget this even when I die this will truly be a memory to cherish."

"Hey Akeyana you say you were a belly dancer right?" Akeyana looked at her and jumped out of the chair. "I'm way ahead of you." She quickly hurried back home to change clothes so can can make her grand appearance.

She made her grand entrance with a flip and men dancing with fire around her. The elderly people were enjoying this. They circled around and her and clapped to the beat, singing with the song. This made Akeyana feel more alive again. Christ was surprised to see Akeyana dancing so well as well as the other torch dancers. After her dance she got an encore for her performance and ate a grand feast inside the house of leader of the village. Queen Teania's servant gathered up all Akeyana's gifts and packed them up because sadly it was almost time for them to depart from this lively city. As the room got silent Akeyana stood up and prepared to say her farewell speech to the people.

"People of this village, I thank you for everything and all the love and support. It is sad that I have to leave but I will always be apart of you and you will always be apart of me. Christ and Ironheart I love you guys and I want you to have these gifts from me." Akeyana gave Christ a flower made of crystal and she gave Ironheart a decorative staff to herd his sheep with.

"Thank you again Akeyana and their will always be me fme for you and your friends here. You are welcome to return any time we will be pleased to see you again." said Ironheart

Christ cried again and gave Akeyana a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I love you too Akeyana and I will see you again I promise." After thanking everyone once again and saying goodbye, Akeyana, Taos and Tagnus, Natasha, Queen Teania, and her servant got on their horses and waved bye one last time and headed out into the desert to return to the palace.....................................
