Title: An Egyptian tale
Description: -Couldn't think of a good title-
Saku-Tatsuya - February 10, 2008 07:30 AM (GMT)
Plot:
In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh had been in power for fifteen years and had been creating unfair laws for foreigners. No foreigner was allowed to go and take baths in the Nile nor were they allowed entering holy ground to worship the gods. No foreigners were allowed to even touch an Egyptian or they will be decapitated. For all these years there had to follow these laws until one elderly foreigner stood up to the king and many times he told the pharaoh to soften up the laws for foreigners; but all those times Rameses refused until he faced his demise with the Black Death. At the same time, the queen and her children had been kicked out of the royal palace so another family may take over the country. At the same time they have been exiled.
The ex-queen, Nethi, and her children have been hidden by loyal followers. The only worry they have of are guards finding them and throwing them into the dungeon; mainly because they are cursed with a curse where they cannot kill themselves but they could be killed by others. Ex-Queen Nethi, as vengeful and stubborn as she is, is determined to throw the current pharaoh and their family out of power. Some of the faithful followers agree to help her out while others try to restrain her from going at the family.

But what really crossed the line for her was when the pharaoh announced her and her children exiled. She had been running away from guards since then but had started to study spells so she could defend herself. She usually doesn’t tolerate her faithful followers telling her what to do, since she is used to telling them what to do.

((I'll play Femi. I have a question though.. Is there someone playing the current queen, and if not, can she be evil? xD))

((I'll make the profile for the queen then. xD Thanks Saku-chi.))

Ojousama - February 11, 2008 02:32 AM (GMT)
((I took the queen, Femi and the Pharoh, xD So.. now we have on.. messed up family.))
Name: Sakhmet
Age: mid twenties
Appearance: Bowl cut bang and waist length, ink like hair. She is usually dressed in robes of silk and expensive cotton dresses without straps and plenty of jewelry. Her eyes are very narrow and thin pools of gold, and she has tanned skin. Her height is around 5’4 and she has the ambiance of a haughty queen.
Personality: Somewhat cynical at times, but can be very conniving, low tolerance for failures and often speaks with a cold tone of voice
Bio: Sakhmet used to be a humble woman until she came into royalty, as so her husband and daughter. She hated her life as a peasant and swore to never return to such a wretched life. She vowed to stop at nothing to find the exiled queen and her offspring and kill them before the people. Now that she has come into power she pays more attention to matters concerning the exiled queen then her own family. Sakhmet’s one fear is to die in poverty as her parents did.
Her dream is to rule Egypt underneath her clutches—as her name portrays, she plays the part of the dangerous lioness in the bush, scouting her pray and waiting for the right moment to pounce.
Elemental Power: Water
Name: Jahi
Age: mid thirties
Appearance: Jahi cut his dark long hair and is now balled. He often wears the royal skirt and robe. He is very tanned of skin and his eyes are still very pure.
Personality: Soft-hearted, but somewhat of a push-over, he is very lenient
Bio: Jahi loves his wife, Sakhmet and his daughter, very much. Every since his family become part of royalty, and he, Pharaoh, he has thought of this change as disastrous. He knows that his wife has always hated their poor life, and wanted more, and now that she has it, he is afraid he lost his wife to darkness and envy. But he loves Sakhmet so much that he allows her to do as she wants—he puts the laws she wants through the country, secretly hoping that she will revert to her humble self. But though Jahi is lenient there are things that Sakhmet committed that he cannot forgive.
Elemental Power: None. He prefers swordsmanship to any magicians’ power.

*Hot season.... A blinding sun over Egypt, the sun god is imperious with his Eye. At least, an humid wind came from the Mediteranea, easing specialy the northern provinces of the Delta.
The capital... In his own estate, a walled square closely guarded by foreign warriors of his own picking, the grand mage Thayd is working....
The words resonates in the crypt, in the semi-dark room... He is chanting the ancient words of power. A formula that he... aquired from a famous mage of Phoenicia, Azuth. He would make it.... Find the patterns of destiny....*
Haiyato Berzerker - February 13, 2008 08:14 PM (GMT)
Akhom:
I walked into the large city and sighed. It had been a long five day journey and I was tired from the travel. I patted my currently consealed dagger then eye'd the surroundings, looking for a place to get a drink.
(still not sure if Masenthias is allowed in ^^;)
Saku-Tatsuya - February 13, 2008 11:02 PM (GMT)
((Masen is allowed in))
Nethi:
Ah, it is so good to be the queen. The loyal follwers of mine are so loyal that I bet that they would die with me if I did die.
Anhur:
Good thing that I snuck out of the palace; otherwise I'd be studying and not womanizing! I glanced upon the town's women and had realized that there were much beautiful women who had more beauty then my own mother.
sangorules - February 13, 2008 11:31 PM (GMT)
~Imia~
I sat on the window sill of my room. I looked out at the village before me. I remembered when Anhur was still living in the palace, maybe this very room. We used to spend time together. I felt tears slide down my cheeks as I thought of him. I knew I'd never see him again because of my accursed parents. But I felt that if I thought of him everyday there may be a chance that I'd see him again... just a glimpse.
Saku-Tatsuya - February 13, 2008 11:36 PM (GMT)
Anhur:
I remember Imia and the tims I used to spend with her a while ago. If it weren't for my royalty... my wealth... my class then I'd be able to see her again. Being the rude prince that I am, I looked around the houses and into window stills. Of course, since I am the prince of Egypt, no one will yell at me. Just as I looked into one particular window, I had seen a familiar face.
Nethi:
Where in Ra's name is Anhur?
Haiyato Berzerker - February 13, 2008 11:39 PM (GMT)
Masenthias:
I stood in the shade under an overhanging roof of a building. I was sweating from just wearing my tunic and leather armor. I looked around at some of the peasants passing by.
"Hmmm.... I kinda like this place, other then the heat..." I sighed.
The Ubbergeek - February 14, 2008 12:34 AM (GMT)
*The mage rises his staff above him, chanting louder... The fires of the crypt leaves an eerie smoke... Green patterns on the ground light up... He shoutted, exultant.* SHOW ME THE FUTURE!!!!!
Ninja.girl - February 14, 2008 01:30 AM (GMT)
Esprit-
I yawned.
It was to hot out today, so I was just hanging out underneath a tree. Though... I was suppose to be at the market shopping, but, neeh, it would be rush-hour and I reaaaallly didn't feel like doing it at the moment. But I would get to it... In time..
'Hmmm, I wonder what the river is like right now...' I though, as my eyes dropped.
Then something bit me.
With my eyes wide open I looked around surprise, then my eyes rested on my cat, Coco. She just looked at me.
I sighed.
"Ok ok... We'll go, we'll go.." I said to her, she meowed.
Picking her up, we headed to the market.

^Sakhmet & Jahi^
The sun’s vibrant rays bathed her darkly tanned skin with light—giving the graceful queen an ambiance unbeknownst to those around her. But her aura, which intermixed with this ambiance, was shamefully tainted by her insatiability for power. This greed contaminated the once pure and honest eyes she looked upon her family with, now, her eyes turned cold and sharply narrow—though these attractive orbs of gold still enchanted the subjects that carefully lay eye to her. Sakhmet sat cross legged in her throne beside the absent king and stirred her glass of wine with a shrewd gaze. Her subjects all stirred noisily about her as if afraid of her sharp wit that would pounce if they dared to make an effortless mistake. Her life partner, Jahi the Pharaoh, appeared in his robes and kissed the hand of Sakhmet, then took his seat beside her. He held his staff in his lap as Sakhmet continued to stir her goblet with the same look of sagacity, until he asked, with a stern tone, “What is the matter my troubled queen?”
Sakhmet closed her eyes slowly, gathering her thoughts she reopened them and turned to the Pharaoh, “That queen… that woman she troubles me, her offspring… they trouble me. Our weak and worthless daughter—she also worries me.” Sakhmet said, sparing no one, “I will never fall to anyone.” She added, her voice turned icy.
Jahi wavered, for a moment he was afraid of his wife’s bitter and relentless expression. “I will take care of the matter that troubles you.” He said, after a moment.
Sakhmet stared down at her glass of wine before, suddenly throwing the cup to the floor. It shattered, and Sakhmet’s lips curled into a satisfied smirk that sent shivers down her servants’ spines. She stood up, and strolled from the palace hall, thinking nothing happened and left to bathe—sitting in the presence of her servants questioning gazes made her feel filthy.
-Femi-
Where… could that idiot of a prince be…? I looked around, noticing that Anthur had once again left on one of his rendezvous escapades with the common women of Egypt. He is supposedly the elder brother… Why is he such a foolish prince?
Saku-Tatsuya - February 14, 2008 02:10 AM (GMT)
Nethi:
I ran all around the palace in search of Anhur. "Young prince, where are you?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. As soon as I knew that he must've escaped, I sent out for someone to go and fetch Anhur.
Haiyato Berzerker - February 14, 2008 02:18 AM (GMT)
Akhom:
I walked over to a building that seemed to be serving drinks. I did not care if they were alcoholic or not, I was just thirsty enough to drink anything. I sighed and walked over there, checking a small pouch of currency I had.
"Hope its enough." I thought.
Masenthias:
I got curious, seeing a girl sitting under a tree (Esprit). I casually strolled over to her hoping to spark a conversation.
sangorules - February 14, 2008 02:34 AM (GMT)
~Imia~
I got up from where I sat and walked out of the room. I made my way slowly through the palace, servants bowing as they passed me. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. As I walked I saw my mother walk out of the throne room and she gulped. As she got closer, she bowed to her mother, fearing what would happen next.
The Ubbergeek - February 14, 2008 02:36 AM (GMT)
*The smoke coalescences, take shape... A gorgeous, lovely woman, of noble bearing.... And a lion head with a jeweled headress.
Sekhmet. The fierce warrior aspect of the goddess Bast, the rage....*
-By Grazz't the Sensual and Malkizhid the Branded, what does that means?!?
Ojousama - February 14, 2008 02:47 AM (GMT)
-Sakhmet-
Sakhmet stopped, with her eyes carefully on the head of her daughter. She reached out to her, lifting her face she inspected every line that crossed her skin. Her narrow eyes of gold traced the cortours of her lips, before harshly snatching her hand away as if she touched something filthly or poisonous to the touch.
Sakhmet pulled the string of her robe closed as she shrugged off the bitter feeling she felt as she eyed her daughter.
"You are too kindhearted to be queen." Sakhmet said, as she walked past, slightly brushing shoulders with her, "..The least you can succeed, is maybe a concubine for a foreign prince."
-Femi-
I ran into Nethi, and with a troubled look, I asked her, "Have you seen Anhur? He is missing again. I fear that he is playing around with the local girls again."
Saku-Tatsuya - February 14, 2008 02:53 AM (GMT)
Nethi:
"Anhur better not be womanizing those local girls again; does he not care about what he is doing?" I snarled harshly just as I sent out a guard to go and search of Anhur.
Anhur:
The one girl I had my eyes on; I cannot touch her lips again for we cannot see each other. If I just wasn't royalty.

Esprit-
I got up and jumped when I almost ran into someone.
Looking up [I was quite short, and he was pretty tall] I said "Hello"
