The Pharaoh was sat on his throne just as the sun was rising above the horizon, overlooking his kingdom in thebes. A new monument was being built in honour of his achievements during the Final Battle with the Hyksos.

Egypt was finally at peace. On his head sat the crown Egypt had been fighting to get back from the Fake King for almost 100 years. Pharaoh Ahmose was once again, as his great grandfather was, the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, as it would stay until the end of time.

As Ahmose sat, watching the workers building his monument, he pondered on the future. He had but 2 wives, and none had concieved yet. He was almost 27 and still had no sons to call his own. It thoroughly displeased him, and he knew a third wife was the only way to promise himself a son at last.

Ahmose wanted to follow the traditions of his father, who married his sister and had 2 sons in their first 3 years of marriage. Ahmose also had a sister, and a beautiful one at that. She was called Halima, and was 6 years prior to himself. He wanted her so badly, but she had other ideas, thinking she could choose her own because of her royal status. Not in my Kingdom! Pharaoh thought.

Beconing Memnon, the royal protector since the Hyksos invasion, he demanded to see his sister. Memnon agree'd, and headed out towards Halima's royal chambers, where she would hopefully already be dressed and fed by her loyal servant Aken, bought from Cush by the King himself.

Memnon knocked on the door of Halima's Chamber and spoke softly.

"My most royal Princess, The Pharaoh wishes to speak with you" He requested, without opening the door.

The door did open, but it was not the Princess who answered, it was Aken, the slave. He stood tall, yet weak, and responded for her.

"She will be dressed and brought to him by myself shortly, master Memnon" Aken replied, bowing to the soldier.

Memnon nodded back and reported back to the Pharaoh with the news. Meanwhile Aken helped Halima get the rest of her face chalk prepared for her brother, the Pharaoh.

"Beautiful as always, my most precious Princess" Aken said, Kneeling beside her.

"Mmm, if only my brother did not think so," Halima said with a grin as she awaited her chalks to finish being applied. "Has he visited Sanura or Tahirah lately?"

Sanura, the Pharaoh's first wife, was a young beauty with soft silver hair, almost light blue when glistening in the sun, that matched her bright medium azure eyes. At 15 she had been married to the Pharaoh, the first of many to soon enter into his harem of wives. Since her marriage, Sanura had been visited by the Pharaoh at most a dozen times. She did love him, to some degree, but it seemed as if he didn't care much for her in return. When she was but 17, the Pharaoh took another wife, Tahirah. Five years Sanura's senior, Tahirah was hardly kind to Sanura, looking upon her love for the Pharaoh and innocence as weakness and childishness. Tahirah found herself to be the higher of the two wives, since she was taken on due to Sanura's inability to conceive up to that point in time, and since she was older than the young Sanura and closer to the Pharaoh's age.

Sanura, although young and innocent, still longed for Pharaoh look at her twice, even when his beloved sister was in his presence. She couldn't help but feel rejected at his attentions to the others, while she was left in the dark. It was one of those dark days that Sanura found herself in now. Bathing in oils and rose petal waters, Sanura looked at the walls around her and wondered. She wondered what the Pharaoh's true feelings were for her, and she wondered if Tahirah would ever come to like her.

Tahirah, on the other hand, sneered as she waited for her chalks and oils to be applied. With long, silky, reddish brown hair, Tahirah had a feisty disposition that spoke rumors across the land, it was hard to believe her to be such a woman when you. Cruel to the First Wife, Tahirah strove to rise above her, and even Halima, in the Pharaoh's eyes. However, she did not exceed as according to plan. Having been visited by the Pharaoh nearly three times the amount he had visited his previous wife, Tahirah had still not conceived herself. Still, she was determined to become the favorite of the Pharaoh and win his entire devotion.

"Guard! Where is Aken!" Tahirah called impatiently as she waited upon her throne-like chair.
