Tara...[Prophecy]
Am alive...
my name is Tara... I was dumped by the riverbank when I was a few days old because of my unusual eyes.. Don Valentino found me and raised me as his own. I started training to be an assassin at age 4.
today is my 21st birthday. I have completed all the task assigned to me...except one.
I was about to kill my last target on a cruise ship on the red sea when a bomb went off and I fell into the sea
Tara
*opens eyes*.. am alive? I thought I would die from that blast.
Tara
*sits up and looked around*
Tara
wow... so beautiful... *stood up*...*looked around*.. I need to find a way out.
Tara took out her phone but it was broken.
Tara
shit!! ... *took a step forward* ouch!! my ankle !!
Tara
I better tie it up after washing it...
Tara bore the pain and limped to the edge of the pool... after washing her face, she took off her jacket, took her knife from her boots and tore a piece. as she took off her boots, she heard a splashing sound from the cave underneath the waterfall...
Tara
hmm...let me take a look. I have to make sure its safe..*pulled out her gun*
Tara peeped into the cave but never expected to find a man covered in tattoos bathing...he had his back to her
she sneaked quietly with her gun pointed at him
Arkain
who dares intrudes on me while I bath!!
Arkain
*sniffs the air*.. what's that sweet smell? ...
Tara
*hides gun*...ermmm...am sorry.. I was looking for a way out.
Arkain
*continues sniffing* (the sweet scent of honey and lavender...its coming from her)
Arkain
*turns around, walked out of the pool*...
Tara
ermmm... (damn! he is hot)
Arkain walked towards her but she turned around... he couldn't see her face.. but the scent coming from her was intoxicating...
Tara
excuse me ...do you have a phone I could use? *still backing him*
Arkain
look at me... *he commanded*
Tara
*turns around in anger*...who the hell are you to command me!! ...I only needed your...*shocked*
Arkain
*shocked expression*
they stared at each other for a while...then they both said in union...
they both had the same fiery eyes....
Arkain
Arkain
my name is Arkain...
Arkain
(why do I feel so drawn to her?)
Tara
Am Tara...could you put your cloths on?
Arkain
why?... don't like the view?.. *walking closer with a wicked smile*...
Tara
hmm...( you want to play?..let's play).. its good...*looks up and down* but nothing special..
Arkain
*angry*... you don't have the right to look at other men!! I won't allow it ..
Arkain grabbed his cloths and wore it...
Arkain

Arkain heard her scream then ran back to her...
Arkain
what's wrong? * worried look* where are you hurt...
Tara
ermm...my ankle...I can manage but just slow down..
Arkain
*picked her up*.. *walked into the cave*
Tara

Arkain
shut up.. *kept walking* its a secret passage
Tara
wow!! its so breathtakingly beautiful... whose palace is this?
Tara

Arkain

Tara
*shocked*... wait what?! kingdom? where are we? which continent is this?
Arkain
conti...nent? I don't know where that is... but here, we are in the kingdom of Drumie... and am its ruler...
as Tara wanted to ask more questions, some guard's showed up holding spears and swords...
Tara
(is this a film location?...why are they dressed like that)
head guard
*kneels down*... my king...
the other guards did the same...
Arkain
Raise...call the maids and the priestess to my chamber...
head guard
*bows* yes my king...(looks at the king carrying a woman in strange cloths)
Arkain ignored the greetings of everyone from the palace gate to his bed chamber..he received stares but no one dares to question him...
he walked straight to his bed chamber...
Tara
wow...is the whole palace this beautiful?
not long after Arkain placed Tara on the bed, 4maids rushed in an knelt down to greet him...then a woman walking in after them...
she was dressed in all black and had red hair...
priestess Dia
*bows*...my king...
Tara
(she must be the priestess)
Arkain
take a look at her ankle..
priestess Dia
*turns to look at the woman on the kings bed*...**shocked when she saw her eyes**
priestess Dia
yooou...the girl from the prophecy..*stammered*
Arkain
priestess... what prophecy are you talking about?*serious look*
priestess Dia
pardon me my king*kneels down*.. I will tell you about it in private... but first let me attend her wounds..
Tara
(bitch keeping secrets huh?..I will find out on my own)
Arkain
fine!... meet me in my study after her treatment... Tara..I will see you soon.. tell the servants what you need and it shall be provided for you...
the priestess cleaned the cuts and bruises Tara had and bandaged her ankle after applying ointment
immediately the ointment touched her skin, she feel into a deep sleep...
priestess Dia went to the study to look for the king...she found him pacing around..
priestess Dia
my king,... am here
Arkain
tell me about the prophecy...
the Prophecy
priestess Dia
my king... there has been an ancient curse upon your family's bloodline... king Aaron brought about this curse...
Arkain
the first Ruler of Drumie....how?
priestess Dia
I was not told how by my master...but I know the curse... a male heir born with fiery eyes will have two forms... cursed in two bodies, his lineage will end unless he finds his mate with the same eyes... if his mate chooses to love him, then he will live but hate him, he will die...
priestess Dia
if a child is born out of their love, then the kingdom will be saved...
priestess Dia
if hate is forged from their bond, the kingdom will be doomed...
Arkain
(how...) so you knew about my secret! *angry look*..
priestess Dia
*kneels* my king I didn't know... I wasn't sure if you really had two forms..I only learned of the curse before my master died...she passed on this knowledge to help you with the curse my king
Arkain
hmm...keep this secret... I have two forms...that of a man and a beast!
priestess Dia
I will keep this secret my king ..
meanwhile...in the kings chamber
Tara
*opens eyes*... that bitch tried to knock me out!! so glad am immune to sedatives...
the maids looked at her with a surprised look...
Tara
(shit!! they are all dressed like in an Egyptian...did I time travel? to what era? I need to find out more)
Tara

head maid

Tara

head maid
*shocked* we are only servants... we are not allowed to talk to nobles
head maid
mistress...please eat then we will take you to the spring to bath...
Tara ate obediently.... after she had her meal, she followed two maid servants to a spring within the palace to bath...
after taking her bath, she was dressed by the maids after much protest..
Tara

she snuck out after a lot of distractions...
Tara

Tara
(why are they all staring at me? am I not dressed the same way as they are?)
Tara
