Lana
Strangely, I was having a good time in this mystery unknown world. But little did I know it was going to change and I would be exposed to different things. But that was going to work out in both negative and positive ways for me.
I was in the dinning room enjoying a pleasant sumptuous meal without Ra. Yeah, not that he eats often but at least he makes an effort for me. This days I was getting kind of fond over him, it was like we had been long time friends. Strange though, back to my present I was busy sucking on a succulent grapefruit before chewing when a bright flash went off right in front of me. Now who the heck was it again? I knew it wasn't Ra because the aura I was getting from this unknown person was kinda of ... cool.
The flash cleared to reveal a .... man with a very astounding complexion, pale skin and icy blue eyes. He was tall but not as Ra, he was slightly muscular and his build was slightly similar to that of a professional swimmer. And the weirdest thing was that his hair was He narrowed his eyes when he saw me.
Human. He said without actually speaking. Now he was doing that weird thing that Ra and Menthu seemed to do. He cocked his head to the side. I was flung to the side by an unknown force and pinned against the wall with my legs far from the ground. I felt an icy sensation at my throat, it felt like an icy hand was holding me up.
I didn't need to know who was responsible for this. It was clearly the intruder, but he didn't even move his hands. His eyes were narrowed in menace. Icy tingles ran down my spine and I was sure that goosebumps were spread all over my skin.
"What are you doing here abominable human?" He sneered as if he had lessened a little bit and I gasped in air like a fish out of water.
"I would not ask you the question again human."
"I was brought here." The icy grip tightened harder again and before I could blink he was already right there in my face. How did he move that fast? He sneered angrily at me. Liar! All humans always liars.
"Liar! Who would bring a despicable human to the land of the gods?." I don't know? It wasn't like I came here on my own.
"What did you just say?" I repeated my thoughts again.
"Impossible". His eyes bulged in shock. I decided to use that opportunity to try escape from the tight grip. But he caught on fast enough and tightened it to the point that even tiny wisps of air couldn't pass through my throat anymore. Gosh, right now I was already panicking. I don't want to die like this. I knew my eyes had to be red by now. I was already losing conscious when I heard Ra's deep voice bellow out
"Khonsu!" The icy grip on my neck suddenly loosened as I fell to the ground. I coughed uncontrollably hard as I laid down on the floor. Shit! My throat was raw and sore. From my hind sight, I saw Menhit crouching in front of me.
"Are you okay?" She helped me settle in a seated position by resting my back against the wall. She turned my head from side to side.
"Shit! This is going to leave a
nasty bruise behind." I swallowed hard and damn did it hurt. That left a grimace on my face which was going to be a temporary thing cause of my throat.
"Don't do that, it will only worsen it. I just hope that Ra does not kill Khonsu for this." That drew my attention to the other side of the room.
Ra was caging Khonsu against the wall with his elbow digging into his neck. Both of their faces were riveted with different levels of rage.
"What do you think you're doing Khonsu?"
"What I should do to any despicable human?" He looked at me.
"Geez! Khonsu what has come over you?" Ra looked ready as if to shake some sense into him.
"You are choosing a human over me brother?" Khonsu looked enraged at the thought of that. Ra sighed as if he was he was already drained of the argument. He let Khonsu free.
"It's not like that Kho, you've just harmed a human. It's against our ethics."
"Kho, you know Ra's right." Menthu chipped in as she stood up.
"So this is how it's going to be like?" Khonsu said in annoyed voice. Nobody replied him.
"Ok, I'll see myself out but just know that The Ennead will be hearing about this." He disappeared into the air.
"Told you that this was still going to come out even though I didn't say anything." Menthu said in an indifferent tone walking out of the room.
Lana After the incident at the dining room, a lot of doctors came to attend to me. They all came up to the same conclusion that my throat was just sore and I needed to take it easy.After that I took my bath with the maids at my beck and call. I was applying lotion to my skin when my door opened with Gem and the other memaids bringing in plates of food and fruits. They dropped the dishes on the table beside my bed. I looked over to see that they were mainly semi liquid, thank God at least it will make it easier for me to swallow."Lord Ra instructed us to bring these to your room. He said you should take it easy on your throat." Awwwnn, Ra was so considerate and sweet. "And Lady Menthu sends her regards." They bowed down as they turned to leave. Gem turned back and clicked her fingers."Before I forget, Lord Ra says you should be ready in an hour time." No, I take back my words, Ra is an asshole.********************************************** Unknown PovI was sparing with one of m
LanaAfter eating in my room. I wore a flowing gold dress with open toed sandals. Gem applied light make up to my face, according to her to enhance my natural beauty. Even I was appreciating myself in the mirror after she was done.Ra was waiting for me in the his receptive chambers when I entered. He looked at me in awe, I could see the appreciation in his eyes."You look beautiful." I arched my brow."So I look ugly on a normal basis." I pulled my face into fake frown just pulling his legs. He fell for it."No, that's not what I'm saying. You always look breath-taking every time I see you." He looked into my eyes as he said that. We were both lost in the moment, he was looking at me like someone so special to him. Like he loved me? I creased my brows in thoughts. "Wipe that frown from your face, you look hideous right now." His expression was back to normal. I elbowed his hard stomach as I laughed softly, sore throat remember? "We both know that's a lie. You look uptight, Is it be
LanaThe room quietened as we flashed in. Everyone was looking at us, more at me though. Without saying a word, they took their respective seats even Ra as he left not before clenching my shoulder in one last form of support. I felt very small under all their penetrating stares, it was so unnerving. I fought the compulsion to fold my arms or hide from their scrutinizing stares. I just needed The Summoning to start, so that I could leave this uncomfortable place.A minute later, Khonsu flashed in. He was wearing an ice blue pants with a sleeveless jacket, leaving his chest open. His face was expressionless displaying indifference, like he had other things to do and this summoning was a waste of his time. "Can we get this summoning going?" He grumbled with a hand in his pocket. "How nice of you to grace us with your presence, Khonsu." One of the ladies spoke with a false smile on her face crossing her slim legs. She was the image of feminine grace. I noticed there were only three ladi
Lana I was turning around restlessly in my bed, crunching my brows tight in confusion. I was confused because of the different dreams I had in just one night. And the worst thing was that I didn't understand any of it since they were coming in the form of flashes, and I was always dying in each one.The last one before I jolted awake, I was running away from some people. Though I couldn't see their faces since they were blurred. I couldn't get away fast enough and got hit on the back with a club.That was when I woke up with a gasp, my body and the sheets were covered with sweat. I was breathing heavily scared shitless out of my mind. What was that and when did that happen? I felt a pricking sensation at my back and lifted my pajamas top. I felt around the area, it was sore and I was feeling remnants of the pain. Wait! what was going on? I rushed to the bathroom and moved to the mirror. I lifted my PJs top again, turned to the side and checked again. I sucked a breath at what I sa
LanaI never the library to be this big, but what did I expect when it is owned by a god. It was divide into sections and arranged in rows and columns. I was amazed at the monstrosity of the library, I walked over to one of the shelf and touched, more like caressed the spine of one of the books on it. "Do you like it, my lady?" Gem asked with a little smile in my direction. She always had that little smile thing going on. "Why yes. I totally love it." I screamed in excitement and almost twirled. I heard shuffling of feet coming toward our direction. My little charade must have alerted them to the presence of other people in the library. "Who is there?" an old croaky male voice called out. I exchanged glances with Gem, that person had to be very old. His voice had that droopy feel to it."It's me Gem." Gem called out. The shuffling feet was coming closer and then an old man came out from the side of one of the shelves. He was very old and had wrinkles all over his face. The most ou
Lana After reading to my satisfaction, I looked up and noticed that I must have spent a lot of time in the library because Gem was sleeping. Her neck was going to get sore in the uncomfortable position that she was sleeping in. But first, I had to keep all the books I had taken and return them to their respective shelves.When I had finished placing them in the shelves, I saw a white paper peeking out from one of the books grabbed my attention. It must be a bookmark but as I turned to leave, I felt this nagging sensation in the pit of my stomach. I always felt this when something was really important or amiss.I turned back and picked the book up. It was voluminous and titled The Greatest Woman On Earth, intriguing name. I opened the book and flipped through it, the pages were so numerous. I came across the white paper that was in-between the pages. The piece of paper was folded into two equal halves. It wasn't a bookmark, rather it was a cryptic short message which read"Read this
LanaSome weeks laterAfter the day I went to the library and saw that mysterious book, I never went there again because it seriously creeped me out.Besides Ra was hardly available since he went on missions to the human world doing what I had no idea of.And I didn't tell him about my dreams, something told to withhold that information from him like it wasn't the right time to say anything.Today after taking my bath and eating, I strolled out to the balcony where I saw Ra training with his men. His golden skin glittered under the sun with sweat as he turned, dodged and kicked at his opponents.Their actions pulled at my interest, so I went down to the training arena to take a closer look. There were three men currently sparring with Ra, they all yelled and attacked as one.Ra dodged the first one, kicked horizontally at the second and punched the last one hard. The last one collapsed hard on the floor as I gasped with shock.Shit! Did that guy just faint because of Ra's punch? Some of
Working in this sleazy pub daily always takes a toll on me. Well it was tiresome and making me angry because of the filthy and nasty male customers who like to grab my ass. Those was one of the times I wished I had superpowers, like lightning you know so that I can get somebody's ass. I had tried reporting them to management but all the manager ever says like now"Lana, try and be nice to those gentlemen, then they will nice to you". Like you I scoffed in my head. Everyone working in Sultry Nights knew how Mark Callary was foaming at the mouth to date me or better still shag me. He seemed to take my silence for resilence and nodded at me."Go on, Lana go work the tables to you've got a lot of people to serve.' He shooed at me to leave his office. If one of those assholes deemed to touch my ass, I would give the lucky bastard a glorious eye shiner if you get my drift. My coach at the mixed martial arts studio, I attend for self defense classes said I have a mean right hook.I walked ov
