Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Egyptian Empire, mighty and strong, ruled by Pharaohs. Overthrown. The Roman Empire rules now, spreading Christianity and banning the Egyptian's ancient faiths and beliefs. Now only the priests know the practices and hieroglyphics. With the Roman Army came not only suffering and unfairness but greed of buried treasures.

Vexin slipped through the crowds, then saw a luminous ring that was in a stall. He was lured into it. He wanted it, he needed it. But he was broke. Vexin looked around sliding the ring into his pouch, as he did the owner turned and saw Vexin slip it into his pocket. He shouted guards thief. Vexin jumped and ran down the crowded street shovign and pushing people out of the way to excape. He had no shirt on, his tanish white skin, and his muscular but slim body was shown, his tight abs. He had on fabric pants and no shoes. Priests had no hair, but him, he had, an icey blue hair. He was "The chosen one, as the priests called him. Though he never acted like it. Vexin looked up seeing his Mentor, stop infront of him, just a few feet ahead of Rashida. He skiddd to a stop, his Mentor's hands out, knowing exactly what he had done. The guards came up and His mentor took the ring and gracefully gave it back to the owner. "Vexin, you have to be punished for your sin." Vexin, looked down, and he stood there, his hands into fists, it visible that his whole body was tense. His mentor made a whip quickly out of a plant around and came up behind Vexin lashing him, the homemade whip lashing out and cutting his back. Vexin tensed as it hit, but he did not yell, or cry. He stood there taking each blow till his Mentor felt that he was cleansed. When it was done there were 30 whips from his Mentor. Vexinstood there watching his Mentor leave, and once he was out of sight he fell to hisknees quivering and made small yells in pain.

Vexin quivers his back burning from the sand and air blowing onto the cuts. "S-sister..." He said bowing his head, and keeping his head low to showing respect to a higher athority. "I'm terribly sorry that you had to see that. I... I p-promise i will not steal again..." Vexin said trying to hold back his tears and his crying. Vexin slowly felt the blood finally seeping out of the cuts and trailing down his back. He wiped his eyes, trying to prevent her from knowing what he did, knowing he wasn't suppose to do any of those things when being cleansed.

Vexin didn't look up and feeling the pain from the sand and wind hitting his back. He walked to the shop he stole it from and kept looking down. "I-I am sorry sir... The Ring was just so luring i couldn't contain myself. I promise it will never happen again. And you should tell other merchants to keep an eye on me. Please take my forgiveness kind sir." Vexin said and the merchant forgave him and he nodded and Vexin walked off. Vexin walked off being lured into beautiful thigns but kept himself from being sucked all the way in. He walked down the street.

Rashida stood in the Nile on a rock that stopped just above the surface, making it look like she was walking on the water. She knelt down a little, her face close to the surface and she scooped her hands in, cupping them and bringing them up above the water then let the water dribble back into the river. Then she stood and looked up at the rising sun, now almost half-way above the horizon and closed her eyes. She was still for a second, as if listening to someone, the wind glowing her colorful and flowing skirt and heard wrap around her. Then she began moving, slowly, as if the wind carried a song on it heard only by her.

Rashida stooped and opened her eyes. "Hello roman." She said, looking at him. It was obvious she didn't like any of the romans, especially the soldiers. "What brings you to this sacred place so early in the morning? Praying to the gods?" She asked, sarcasm light in her voice.

"Your damned god is not welcome here, much less our temple." She said, hatred dripping from her words. She looked past him towards the woman that walked towards them. The woman calle out to her and she nodded, brushing past Randal and walking to the woman, then the two turned back to the village .
