Aura actually let out a laugh. "Looks to me like you were playing in the dirt Saradin." calming her laugh she smiled to him again. "I'm fairing better than I did yesterday I suppose. A bit of wandering did do some good as you said, I guess."
"Was that a joke? Now that's what I like to hear." Tail swishing happily he turned his attention back to Saradin. "So...you can sleep anywhere at all and through anything too, just like me I see. Are we a pair or what?"

Alexander's eyes drifted closed, there he leyed on the bed in a state half awake and half asleep. For some reaseon he couldnt get asleep, lit was like something deep down inside of him wouldnt let him reach sleep, it was like he was spost to me wateing for something. If he had heard hsi door open it didnt register with him, his mind was deeep in thought untilshe leyed down next to him, his arms wrapping alomst instintivly around her in almost an instintive fasion.Even with her there He coldnt fall asleep, now even more awake.

"True enough, but I dont sleep all day just because its an option like you do. Now let me just put some of these things away."
The manor doors banged open heavily as she walked in, looking around for people. "Crimeny... I even knocked. Does anyone actually live here?" "You probably scared them all away! Now I forbid you to go any farther." The command fell flat as she walked into the main hall as if her partner had said nothing at all. "No seriosuly, anger managment issues..."
Walking back to the rear door of the manor, Saradin looked back at Aurah, "Maybe you should put less priority on remembering things, its when youve relaxed that things will start to come back. Just act as you would based on what you do know, rather than what you dont know anymore. Not saying to give up entirely though, it'll come in time. There has to be a reason he's done all this. But there I go, being too serious again... lecturing you."

"Well back for more my dear?"
Niah looked around but she coudl not see the one who had been plaguing her with all the dreams. She spun in a circle searching but to no avail. She didn't like this one bit. She couldn't fight an enemy she couldnt' see. "Show yourself!"
He laughed and laughed. "You know who I am don't you? Why do I need to show myself?"
Niah was confused. "I do not know..."
The voice laughed again. "Hold on a moment. I'm not quite ready. Have a few more finishing touches to put on."
Niah wondered what he could possibly mean by that. She looked around. Everything was as usual. She was standing on teh sands of Egypt. Instead of sunset over the Nile, it was mid morning and getting hot. Thanking Ra for the flimsy nightdress of pure white she waited for the fiend to reveal itself.
"Are you ready my dear? Look to the River of Life."
Niah turned to the Nile and gasped. Standing in front of her was....Pharaoh. He was dressed in all his gold and had his crown on. She was extremely confused.
"Ah now you see my dear? I am Pharaoh. Bow before me like you have been taught."
Niah refused to move. She dipped her head quickly and looked back at him. "What do you want with me my Pharaoh?" she said in a mocking tone.
Pharaoh narrowed his eyes at her. "Well my dear, you are a big part of my plans. I intend to make you very powerful. All you have to do is use your empath rage. Use it completely and don't hold back. Once you have tasted the full extent of your power you will be able to call it back anytime. You can rule the world."
Nailah glared at him. "How do you fit in? If you want me to be all powerful then I could control you."
Pharaoh laughed again. "No my dear. I would make you my Queen."
Niah gasped. "You wouldn't."
Pharaoh laughed. "I think it would be better if I showed you." He lifted his hand and waved it once muttering some words.
The world began to shift around Niah and she blinked trying to keep her balance. When it stopped she gasped. She was standing in a magnificent palace. She shook her head and instantly felt the weight of something shake wiht her. Reaching up she felt an elaborate headdress. She looked around the spacious room and finallly found a mirror. Looking into it she saw what looked like her dressed in a blue gown wiht gold all over her. She had armbands and ankle bands and a golden choker. "I am the Queen." she whispered.
"Yes my dear you are. Look at all you can have." THe Pharaoh came into the room and looked at her. "You could be powerful and live at my side. We can rule together."
Niah looked at him. "I can't be your Queen. I'm in love with another."
Pharaoh laughed. "Oh he's no big deal. YOu'd forget about him in a few months. All you have to do to have all this is allow the power to take you. Together we can rule the world with an iron fist. My will be done!" he laughed again.
Niah felt sick to her stomach. "No! I will not use my powers to hurt anyone. Ever!" She slammed her hand on the wall for emphasis.
Pharaoh stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes at her. "Either way I will win my dear." he said softly. "Either you come willingly or the other option..."
The scene quickly changed. This time Niah was sitting on her knees in a large bed. She looked down and saw she was naked. No dress and no gold. She moved to put some clothes on when she felt something around her wrist. She pulled and found she was chained to the bed. It dind't take much for her to figure out it was the Pharaoh's bed. He came into the room a moment later. "Do you like this better my dear?" he asked mockingly.
"Let me go!" Niah screamed. "YOu can't do this."
"On the contrary my dear I can. And I have." He walked up to her and licked his lips. "I always knew you had a fantastic body. Just like I knew you'd be a tasty morsel in my bed." He stroked his finger down her cheek and laughed when she tried to bite him. "Careful my dear. Pleasure and pain are one and the same to me. I enjoy causing both. Stay on my good side and I will give you pleasure." He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. "But disobey me or cause me pain and I will make sure you wish you were dead. Do I make myself clear?"
Niah closed her eyes and winced. His grip on her chin was tight and it really hurt. "Yes." she whispered.
Pharaoh reached back and smacked her across the face. "YOu will address me as my Pharaoh nothing else. Now try it again."
Niah gritted her teeth. "Yes my Pharaoh." she whispered.
He let go of her chin and traced the curve of her shoulder. His voice turned soft. "It doesn't have to be this way. You can have it all without this. I can be good to you. I can show you love like you've never had." His hand moved and he cupped her breast.
Niah felt the urge to vomit. She shuddered and tried to hide her look of revulsion. Raising her head she said "I will never allow you to use my power! I'll die first."
Pharaoh laughed. "I won't let you my dear. You are a big part of my plans. But I think you've had enough of this."
The world began to swirl again and Niah found herself standing where she had been before in front of the Nile. She glared at him. "I won't let you. No matter what you do to me."
"Oh there are a lot of things you will do my dear." He walked over and snapped his fingers.
Niah found herself chained to the wall once again. THis time her feet were still on the ground and she was still clothed.
"Now love stop making it so hard on yourself."
THe use of her nickname made her angry. "Don't you dare call me that. You have no right to use that name!"
Pharaoh laughed "I can call you sex slave and there is nothing you can do about it."
Niah felt herself getting angrier and angrier.
"That's it. Use your power." He watched and waited for her explosion. But it never came.
Niah laughed. "I see what you are trying to do. Did you really think it would work? Use Niah's nickame. Show her a few scenes where she doesn't want to be. Then she'll bow to your will. Well I won't! You'll have to do a lot better than that." Niah said smirking.
Pharaoh's eyes narrowed. "Fine. You want to do it the hard way then? We'll see how long you hold up. In the end I will win."
"I highly doubt that."
"We'll see won't we?" He said smiling evilly. Then he waved his hand.
Nailah began to twitch in the bed. She whimpered and shook her head. This was not happening.

"Well if I'm going by what I know, I rather enjoy your lectures Saradin. They don't come with chastising slaps to the face." Shrugging she was still smiling. "Perhaps you're right, just go with the flow I guess, if something comes back, then it does. Until we find out what's wrong with me I guess."
"Hey, sleep is a healthy activity. I personally think you don't get enough of it. And since we're going with normalcy," He gave Aura's elbow a nudge,"The Guardian is hungry dear, and he lacks thumbs." Turning from her he padded into the manor past Saradin.
Aura followed all to easily, stopping for a moment next to Saradin. "He always gets lavished with attention, doesn't he?"

"Unfortunately. To many people call him cute and rush to give him attention, often accompanied by treats. He doesnt mind being thought of as just an animal as long as hes getting something out of it... Yes yes Eclipse... handsome. We get it." Saradin was quite enjoying how he could mock Eclipse about his habits this morning. "But sure, lets get you something to eat. Anything for you Aurahkah?" He said as they entered the kitchen and he went straight for the fridge.
"Damn it all! How many places are there for him to be hiding?" "I saw him in a painting in the foyer, so hes obviously been here at least." "I know, I wouldnt have 'followed' him here if he hadnt now would I?" "Right right... Now, I think theres someone down that way... I smell food."

"That's right, handsome and well insulated. Not cute and fluffy. Though I do enjoy the attention and treats part. What can I say? I'm a sucker for being loved upon."
Both had tailed Saradin into the kitchen...Eclispe all the more excited than Aura to say the least. Aura took a seat at the table, her preferred chair actually and Eclipse plopped himself right down next to the fridge. She merely watched. "You cook all the time. And you enjoy it." She nodded. It fit. "I'll take anything, really. Don't need to put you through extra trouble of making more than one thing."

"SARADIN!" Came a shout from right outside. Followed promptly by, "Calm down! Im not letting you through that door if you cant keep it down!" Followed by a small scuffle and a pair of voices grumbling and shouting as they tossled for control of the door, bumping into the closed gate occasionaly.
Distracted from the fresh sauce he had been in the middle of preparing, Saradin looked to the door and sighed. "I know that voice." He set aside his work and walked over to the door, openning it slowly, only to be bowled over as both of them tumbled in, the old man holding the young woman in a headlock.
"Oh hi Saradin. Hows things?" "GIVE ME MY BOOK!"
"Idalla... and... Calcryx..." Saradin blurted out, half in disgust at how they acted, but actually relieved to see how little theyd both changed.

Both Aura and Eclipse jumped slightly, Eclipse's wings flaring the slightest bit as often happened when he had been surprised. Yet he didn't go on the defensive. Despite their actions, Saradin seemed rather subdued. And if Saradin was fine, then so was he. He merely folded his wings back and cleared his throat. "Finds of yours Saradin?"
Well...Saradin knew them, but names weren't popping up so she assumed that she didn't herself. Turning in her chair slightly go gaze upon the three quietly, she merely watched, head tilted to the side in Aura like fashion.

Alexanders eyes blinked open her stirring in his arms, for a moment he had no idea what was going on it all took a minuit to register in his mind. His eye opened wide as the thought reached his mind, every body function wakeing up at the same time. He slowly unrapped his arms form her and slid form the bed, his emerald hues blinking shut as he vanished into thin air. A small bead of light streaked forth explodeing with a blinding flash just off to the side of the pharaoh's head, Alexander stood maby six yards behind him, his back ridgind his arm outstreached, index fingure pointed at him. He just stood speachless, His coal balck eyes makeing it impossable to tell where he was looking." I think you should let her down" His voice was that of alexander but layerd ontop was one much deeper.

"WHERES MY" Idalla's cry was cut off as the old man's second hand flew over her mouth, stiffling her shouts. "First things first Saradin, lets get her book back to her so shell shut up." "Its sitting in the infirmary next to a bed." "NNFRMMRY!?" Came her worried shout through the hand before she broke free just enough to bite into Calcryx, drawing blood and getting him to release in pain. "So help me if theres even one drop of blood on it I'll..." "Down the hall, door on the left." In a small plume of sulphuric smoke, Idalla was gone from sight leaving Calcryx to gag at the stench.
When he recovered, stood upright and stared intently at Saradin, with an eerie half smile on his visage. Then he suddenly lunged forward gleefully and gripped Saradin in a bear hug crushing the air from his lungs and lifting him into the air.

"Aw he loves him, isn't that sweet." He gave a laugh and pawed the floor once. "Saradin Phoenix, you didn't tell me you had other friends besides us. And they're oh so charming, my shadow born friend." He gave another laugh and flared his wings slightly.

Bastet sat flopped across the floor, reading the giant book in Egyptian. She had ben constantly searching through it, looking for the secret to unlocking the magic within her. "Damnit, and Aura has no memory so she can not help me....." Sighing she turned onto her back and stared at the ceiling for a moment, trying to figure out how to tap into it with out her help. Finally, slightly frustrated, she jumped up and left, heading for the main room, "I guess I will raid her room later."
Walking slowly in thought, she finally arrived at the kitchen, where she saw Saradin, Eclipse, Aura, and someone she did not know. "Oh hello everyone." Seeing Eclipse by the fridge, she promptly dropped to all fours and bowled him over to move him, then stood calmly and reached into the fridge for some milk.

Eclipse hit the cupboard, wings flinging out in a mess of feathers as him and Bastet created a rather large furry and pointy eared pile. he blinked a moment. "Oh, good morning there Bastet. Look Saradin has a visitor...that isn't trying to kill us."
Aura laughed at the way Eclipse had been bowled over and smiled happily to Bastet. "Morning Bastet."

"Hmm? Shadow born? Phoenix? I guess that explains some things... but raises other questions." He said, walking toward the table, still gripping Saradin in the death hug as if hed forgotten it was there. Meanwhile Saradin gasped desperately for air, and was forced to shadow travel to escape the arms.
Taking long deep gasps, Saradin looked to the man in white and to the table. "Aurah, Eclipse. I give you Calcryx, the frozen flame." "Ah, I love a proper introduction. Charmed to meet you all." He performed a wide bow and spread his arms to either side, a cloud of white mist rising in one palm and a flickering torchlight in the other.
"He's from my distant past. Last time I saw him, he was still an infant." "Now I'm all big and strong and..." "Old." Idalla remarked as she walked back into the room, clinging happily to her lover's journal.
