Shards Of A Desert Dream (Kaylea)

"I don't get why we have to do this. It's just linen, chemicals, and a rotten old hand, and you know the city is going to be watching their little relic like it was stuffed with diamonds."



"Don't be such a pessimist, Kaylea. The guards wouldn't protect it like that unless it had some major value, hm?"



"Religious value, Cania. You're an anubian; you know as well as anyone in this city what the Hand of Osiris is."



"Yeah, and that's why I gotta do this. Just stick close and remember what I taught ya. We're going in."

The necropolis interior was surprisingly well lit in the daytime, attributable to the multiple sun windows in the higher parts of the wall. Only the anubians would build a tomb where the living could easily walk among the dead.

Kaylea couldn't understand why her mentor and partner in crime was so intent on stealing the fabled Osiris relics - said to be the parts of a slain god by those who believed in such things - but she was certain his obsession would get them killed...

'Where am I? Cania...? Who is he..?' she thaught watching the scene play out befor realizing that she wasn't watching from the sidelines, she was seeing this through her own eyes!

'What is this? Another dream like the last one? That has to be....it....No, not a dream...a...Memory!'

'Cania...my..sensai....yes, how could I forget him? But where are we?'

"Cania-sama are you sure about this? Are you sure that I'm ready for this?" she says nerviously

"I'm dead certain," Cania grinned with a roguish wink, then looked up at a noise down the hall.



Two anubian guards rounded a corner.

"Hey, you're not to be in here!," one of them barked as they moved forward.

"Well, fancy that!," Cania quipped through his canine teeth, "Here we were on the way to the prayer circle and we lost our way. Maybe you big, strong guards could redirect us?"

"I know you!," the other one growled, "You're Cania, the temple thief! Hands in the air!"

"Well, it was worth a shot," Cania shrugged to his protege, then drew his blades, moving into a fluid, dance-like fighting stance.

As the guards moved to attack, Kaylea knew that this was her chance to put what she had learned to the test!

"The faster they fall, the less time they have to call for help." she muttered as she sprang at one of the guards slashing with her enchanted swords.
