Umena's POV
"Horus! Please let me go to her."
"No you can't."
"She's in pain. Let me go."
"No. Let her be."
Izna's been venting her anger on a pole for hours with a sword.The kitten she was raising was crushed by someone. She threw away all her jewelry and ripped her heavy dress. Now I can see she actually has a warrior's body. I bet she practiced for years.
"Where did she learn to yeild a sword?" I ask Horus.
"Not only sword she can use almost every type of weapons. She learnt from the man she loved."
"The man she loved? She loved someone besides the Pharaoh?"
"Yes. He was the eldest prince and the strongest warrior in royal army."
"He was? What happened to him?"
"Murdered and his corpse was left for display."
"Really? Who'd do that?"
"Your husband."
"Pardon?"
"The Pharaoh."
As I heard from rumors, the Pharaoh is really shady and cold-blooded. He even hurt someone like Izna. And he still is trying to hurt her. I wish I was stronger, I had power. I'd run away with her. I'd take her to a peaceful place. We'd live happily in a small house surrounded with beautiful gardens.
"Horus."
"Yes?"
"Can you help her?"
"I'm just a slave. I don't have that much power. Perhaps you can help her."
"Me?"
"Yes you can."
"How?"
"You're a royal concubine. Your father is one of the strongest generals. You should know better than me."
I don't know what he means by that. He's one mysterious man. That's what I love about him though. But what he said isn't completely worthless. I can help her. At least I can try. I need to stop the Pharaoh from forcing her tonight. But How? Surely he won't listen to my request. I need to think of something else. Think Umena think!!!! What can you do? How far can you go to save your friend???
