Sefu, his name meaning sword. A boy of merely eighteen, his most striking unique feature was his snow white hair. An unexpected event in Sefu's youth caused the pigmentation in his hair to turn colourless, he has bright blue eyes which appear cat like as they are slit into wide almond shapes.

Sefu wandered around the streets running an errand for his father yet again, he needed to find some more iron for his fathers work. If a blacksmith has no steel or iron to work with he would be useless. It was wrong to say that Sefu was the lowest of the low when it came to being a commoner as his father was the Pharoah's most precious blacksmith. True to his name Sefu carried around a dagger, the streets were full of thieves and highway men. If you were not careful and took a wrong turn down an alley, you would find yourself dead before you could even offer to settle the situation.

He haggled with multiple vendors but alas, they demanded too much for a single piece of steel. Sefu knew the street vendors and the prices well, he often worked as a guide to faces that were new in his part of the town. He was a well known informer, a street rat of a sort.

Cleopatra gazed out from the window, the breeze caressing her face. The khol outlined her almond eyes darkly. She had married the king when she was merely twelve and he eighteen, they were third cousins and knew each other well before marriage. Cleopatra had given birth to Irisi when she was merely thirteen, being young she knew what her daughter was going through.

Her daughter was set to be married off soon as well, Cleopatra envied her daughter as she would be marrying two years after Cleopatra herself had. Though, she was glad that Irisi had gotten a chance to enjoy most of her childhood. A smile lingered on her face as she thought of her simple daughter, Cleopatra had once been the same, a free soul, unaware of the worlds dangers.

As she married and became Queen Cleopatra's senses had sharpened. She could not even count the number of attempts that she had been close to either being kidnapped or murdered. Nor Cleopatra or Amun-ra were safe even while sleeping, especially while sleeping she could say. A few times the assassins had come into the palace dressed as royal guards, going unnoticed by all.

Irisi stood on her balcony looking out over the city. She had been told that she would have to wed the guard of her father and the wedding was to be in two weeks. She sighed as she looked out at the city. She longed to be a commoner and be safe from her tyrant of a father. She hated that he made her do things she did not wish to do. She grinned as she had an idea. She put on a white cloak and made her way outside the palace. She avoided the palace guards as she walked down the hallways of the palace. They did not have a gate only guards posted to watch and make sure no one snuck in. She new of a spot in the royal garden where ivy grew. She made her way to this spot and climbed up the ivy making her way out of the palace gates. She did not think about getting back only getting away as she jumped over the wall surrounding the palace.

Isis made her way to the city that lay not far from the palace. She pulled her cloak up more around her face and hair. She walked through the city staring at everything going on with wide eyes. She noticed a vendor selling plums and thinking she was a little hungry she took a plum and tried to take a bite. The vender looked at her with a frown "I hope you plan on paying for that."

Amun-ra sat on his throne. He was listening to the complaints of the commoners. He turned away from the man talking to look at his most treasured guard with a smirk. He would make the perfect husband for his daughter. He then turned and continued to listen to the people relate there pity stories to him.

Sefu had begun to tire of his task, he couldn't find the perfect piece or price he needed! This just would not do, the teen put his hand on his stomach to quiet the awakening beast. He looked around a bit embarrassed as his stomach continued to growl without a break. He had been standing casually at a fruit stall when a hooded figure approached and grabbed a plum.

Sefu did not pay attention to this figure, many cloaked merchants bought wares for their travels everyday. What did he want today? An apple...no perhaps dates? Hmm..but the pomegranate looks so fresh! Sefu debated with himself, the day was scorching hot and it wasn't even noon yet, the cool pomegranate seeds seemed like the best choice. Plus, the seeds would last him quite a while.

As he picked up the pomegranate he heard the shop keeper speak to the hooded figure, he raised an eye brow. The figure did not seem to respond, it seemed frozen. Maybe they do not have the money Sefu thought to himself, he reached into his pocket and asked the man how much for the plum and pomegranate together.

Since Sefu worked a few days of the week he had enough money (hopefully) to afford both fruits.

Growling at the princess in her hood he was about to reach out and take the plum when the boy spoke up. "25" he said holding out his hand. (no idea what egyptian money is lol) The princess looked at the boy a moment with a curious look. She was not used to playing for things nor was she used to being outside the palace. This was a strange world and she had no idea what was going on. She walked up to the boy and smiled at him.

"You do not have to pay for it. I was unaware you paid for stuff out here and thought you were allowed to take what you want like you do at home." She paused wondering if she let to much spill. Perhaps. She stared at the boy thoughtfully from under her hood for a moment.

Suddenly she backed away and as she did she fell knocking her hood off so everyone could see her crown. She let out a gasp aned pulled it back on quickly but there was no telling who saw it.

Sefu blinked in confusion as he heard the soft voice of the hooded figure, the voice could only mean one thing. The person under the hood was a girl, probably younger than Sefu judging by the sound of her voice. He chuckled as she said he did not have to pay for it and just shook his head. "You always have to pay for it on the streets" he said with a small shrug as he put the money in the mans grubby, outstretched fingers.

As he threw his pomegranate up into the air and caught it he looked at the figure, and just for a moment Sefu could have sworn he saw her eyes, they were a mix of blue and purple. He turned to the shop keeper and thanked him, as he was about to turn on his heels and leave he saw the hood fall from her face.

He gapped, it was the Princess! His eyes shifted around, surely people had not seen that. But there was no telling what they would have done if they had. Sefu grabbed the young girls hand and literally dragged her away. Sefu knew he couldn't leave her alone on the street, especially because she was the Princess.

(sorry I thought I posted it to you but I was at the hospital >< Do you want to continue?)

AmberDoucet: Oh no! ): I hope you're feeling all better now! Yeah, sure I would love to continue! My exams for this semester are done and I have loads of free time now! C:

Gasping as she was drug from the fruit vendors down the street by the strange and noble boy who paid for her and also seemed to know who she was and want to get her away from the streets.

"I demand to know where you are taking me." she said matter of factly as she forced him to stop by putting her whole weight against him and making him halt in his tracks. She smiled softly as she straightened her hood over her face covering her obviously princess attire. She waited patiently for him to answer her as she methodically straightened her robes so that her entire frame was covered.
