Snippet #2435042

Nile seemed to be shy around Arik, which was completely new for Arik to deal with. He had never really had women fawning over him and was unsure how to react. The maid visibly gulped when she looked to Rae. Arik followed her line of sight but saw nothing other than a few surface bubbles where Rae had sunk down.

"Umm, I should really get going, the princess seems to be mad for some reason and I really don't want to turn into a crispy Nile. Be careful, not many people outside the palace know that the Royal family are descendants of the God Anubis, giving them powers," She whispered to Arik. Powers? Great, he was slave to a beautiful woman who happened to have magical powers. Before Arik had a chance to accept Nile's invitation, she had left. Arik sighed. The Gods will give and take as they pleased it would seem.

Seeing that Rae hadn't resurfaced, Arik waded into the water, "Now Rae, was there really any need for that, you scared the poor girl half to death. Are you going to be like this every time a girl speaks to me?" He asked, his hands on his hips.
