Welcome to Gaia! ::

Randel sighed, picking up his sword and walked on into the small stalls, to see anything was worth buying, which he never got anything without asking if he was able to get it from the gods, but when he came back, it was usually gone.

Vexin saw Rashida and quickly bowed his head, saying a prayer, slowly moving down. Once Rashida was a far distance away he hurried to the temple . Vexin ran inside the temple and looked out around where he was taught the teachings of the temple. He saw no one and his mentor cleared his throat and he jumped slamming his head against the door. He yelped and rubbed his head. "Uhm... H-hello Brother..." Vexin said and steped into the classroom sitting down.

Randel came up and saw Rashida and was stunned by her beauty. He took off his helmet bowing to Rashida, murmuring a prayer, doing as every other man and women did. He looked up and continued to stare at her.

Rashida made her way down the street and the procession followed her to the Nile.

a young girl looked back as she heard Rashida's name. "Uhm. I'm not Rashida, she's already left with the procession. But Sakhmet is over there." She said, pointing to a far corner. She had been referred to as Rashida? But Rashida was so much more beautiful. Maybe it was her hair, she had been told that her hair was quite like Rashida's.

Rashida stopped at the Nile, a row of roman soldiers stopping her.

"Stop now woman. You are not allowed to continue on." One said.

Rashida looked at him, not lowering her eyes, not lowering her head. "The gods wish for us to praise them, and so, we do. move, this is not your land and we are not your people. You have no right to tell us what to do." She said. Her words brought a fe gasps from behind her and anger infront of her. The romans had drawn their swords and had begun towards her.

"You have no right to speak to us like that woman. Now turn your unholy worship around or suffer the consequences." Another said, stepping closer. As he did all the men that were close up stepped forward with some form of weapon in their had. "Step back from the priestess romans. You're outnumbered." One of the men said.

The romans were quiet for a moment then they sheathed their swords and walked away. Rashida finished the procession then left to go back to the temple, the sun had already set. She greeted everyone then hurried to her chambers to get out of the priestess gear she wore. She had her top off and was taking off her skirt when a strong knock came at her door. It was past midnight and the temple was relatively empty around this time. "Please, just one moment." She called. The knock came again more ruoghly. She quickly slid her skirt off and was reaching out to her night gown when her door burst open. Four romans stood there, swords drawn and bloody. The were four of the eight that were out by the river. Rashida pulled her nightgown up to cover her and glared at them ,grabbing a dagger. "Get away romans." She spat, holding the dagger out. The romans laughed and walked forward. One slashed at her hand holding the dagger, cutting it, the dagger falling. The other three grabbed her and forced her to the ground. The one that had cut her smiled and shut her door.

Vexin was roaming the halls when he saw a trail of blood on the floors. He gasped and followed the trail of blood in a hurry. Vexin, rushed through the many hallways and it went into the room of Rashida. Vexin knowingly that she was hurt barged into the room. Seeing the roman guards, he growled grabbing the dagger on the floor quickly stabbing one in the throat ripping out to the side, the roman falling instantly. The romans turned to face Vexin, their attention towards him. Vexin saw, hard things he could throw at the romans, and so he picked up anything and everything he could throwing them at the romans, to get them to block the flying objects. Using it to his advantage he lunged at one stabbing him in the neck as well, making sure he was dead. Growling more fiercely, he twirled around one roman's legs, pushing him down. As the roman fell, Vexin swirled beside him jabing the dagger in the throat, killing him instantly. Vexin stood up growling at the other roman. "IF you value your life, i suggest you leave now and never speak of this..." He said as he lunged at the roman, but the roman fled, as he was told. Watching the man leave, Vexin looked at Rashida for the first time. He saw that she had nothing on to cover herself, and he blushed wildly, and couldn't help but stare, since it was the first naked body he has seen. Vexin came back to reality and forced himself to not look at her body. "Did they hurt you at all sister? And I hope that the gods are not angry for the sins i have just committed... He ripped off part of his shirt to wrap around teh cit mark on her hand before helping her up.

Rashida reached a shaky hand out to the fabric Vexin handed her and she covered herself, her eyes cast down. "I am no longer holy." Rashida whispered to Ast, though it was heard by all in the room. The main priest had come in and now walked towards her. He wrapped his arms around her. "My daughter, do not worry. The Romans will pay for the act that they have committed this night." He looked into her eyes and smiled. "The gods smile upon you Rashida Bast Olufemi. They will not let this go unanswered. May the Roman's feel the might of Bastet's wrath." Rashida looked away, back down to the floor and began to shake slightly, her tears hitting the floor. The priest stood and turned to Ast and Vexin. "Leave now, go check on the other brothers and sisters, make sure no harm came to them. Let them know that in two weeks, on the full moon, we will hold a prayer. It is mandatory that everyone is there." He turned, knowing they would do as he said, and helped Rashida onto her bed.

Ast frowned, opening her mouth to argue with the priest, but instead turned and did as he said. She returned swiftly, arriving a few minutes after Vexin. She tapped her foot impatiently, her mind traveling back to the fact that there were only a few hours left in the night, which could hinder her trip to Pharaoh Tutankhamen's tomb. "Ah, Father." She pulled to attention when the priest stepped out. "Is the Sister alright?"

Vexin looked up and rushed to the main priest. "Uhm head priest... Will the gods forgive me for what i have done to the romans?" He said scared. "Will i be b-I mean cleansed for the sins i have done in her bedroom? A-As well as looking at a sister bare?" He said hesitantly, looking at him.
