《The Pharaoh's Dancer》A House
Advertisement
Amunet was given her own quarters outside the palace after she signed away her life. She was still close enough to be watched constantly by Kamilah's guards, but she still felt like she was slightly freer than she was yesterday. She'd never had a home to herself before. It wasn't large or fancy in any means, it was actually rather run down now that Amunet looked at it, but still it was hers. The entire expanse was situated in one room with walls fashioned out of solidified, sun-dried mud from the Nile. A small wall lined the perimeter and a set of stairs were built alongside the side of the house leading to a shaded roof that gave her a good look at Cairo. Inside, a bed had been squeezed close to the wall and a shelf that was decorated with an assortment of items which were adjacent to a small table. It was cozy and fairly dusty, but already Amunet had grown attached.
During her little investigation of her new house, she stumbled upon and obvious letter sitting upon her bed. It was addressed to her and after opening it, learned the sender was Kamilah. After Amunet had told her of her literacy she'd been more than happy to communicate by letters rather than taking the risk of sending her to the palace repeatedly. Amunet quickly unfolded the scroll and began to read.
I've made plans to have you perform at tomorrow night's banquet. You'll be taken to the palace but in a separate area and prepared there. You are not to mention your benefactor or anything or anyone else for that matter. Remember your mission and I look forward to your performance.
Burn this letter after you've read it, The Royal Consort Kamilah
Amunet did as she was order and tossed the scroll into a hastily made fire. She watched the coals consumer the paper and felt her stomach begin to tighten into knots. She'd done many things in her life under the orders of another but never had she'd killed anyone before. Her palms were sweaty and she felt herself begin to quiver. Instead of sitting on the bed, she sunk to the floor and tucked her feet up under her. A multitude of scenarios ran through her head and dozens of ways to approach her situation, however, all of them ended with her being executed. She placed a shaky hand on her chest and tried taking a deep breath. The air seemed to catch in her throat and tears were dripping down her cheeks before she realized the internal turmoil twisting in her chest. She'd thought about running away, but all those resulted in her death as well. At the moment, the pull of freedom had seemed worth the eternal weight of murdering another, but now it seemed to risky. However, Amunet also knew that it was too late to turn away now. She was going to kill the Pharaoh and, in return, she'd gain her freedom.

Wretched Brood
I knew I was different from the beginning. I wanted nothing to do with those simpletons that valued only food, drink, and women. So I distanced myself from my brood, not considering myself a goblin. I even tried to become one of the humans, befriending some in the process. I thought that I’d live a relatively happy life as a “human” adventurer, albeit behind a wooden mask. At that time I didn’t know that I’d soon become the enemy of all humanoid races, a being that was despised and feared by all intelligent creatures. The calamity called “Scourge.”

Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.
