Teaser
Everybody in Egypt has heard many legends. The legend of the Egyptian Gods and goddesses are always among the group of royals and people of the city of Egypt.
To the people of Egypt, the Pharaoh's are the symbol of the gods. It's tradition in these times that things became the way they are. So when a legend starts spreading around about a special girl bearing the mark of the Nile Goddess, this girl will possess similar abilities to such goddess that she will be called the Nile Princess of Egypt.
Of course, this legend then got passed down from generation to generation. Until the year finally came when the Nile Princess was born. Though No villagers were told right away for she was kept in secret. For far in the middle of the desert on the other side of Egypt, there is a village and a kingdom that controls it. This kingdom had a treaty with the main royal family.
One day the two rulers met for a meeting as they both sat at a table. One was the Pharaoh of Egypt himself, Pharaoh Aknamkanon and in the other chair was the ruler of the Nile Kingdom, he was a bit older then Pharaoh Aknamkanon for he had a daughter of his own who had recently had the Nile Princess his name was Maahes.
"King Maahes, I am honored you would meet with me." Pharaoh Akamkanon said
"Of course Pharaoh, I was wishing to meet with you in hoping to further secure our alliance." King Maahes said
This intrigued the Pharaoh, "What is it you would like to propose to further the alliance?" He asked
"My daughter has recently given birth to a girl, the Nile Princess. I am aware you have a son." King Maahes said
The Pharaoh was surprised about all this information and it was true he had a young son at this time. He didn't need more information for what the other ruler was proposing.
"A betrothal, between my son and your granddaughter." The Pharaoh said
"yes, as you know the Nile Princess will have special gifts. As such she'll be needing a secure protection when she's older. I believe betrothing her to your son will not only help our alliance but ensure her protection." King Maahes said
The Pharaoh gave it a good amount of time before he answered the king in front of him. He wanted nothing more than his son to have a good future.
"I will consider your proposal, but first, I want to meet her when she's old enough to come here with you." The Pharaoh answered
King Maahes respected the pharaohs answer and they shook hands on the concept. As of that time, the betrothal between the newborn Princess who was only a few days old and the prince who was two at the time was put into place. The King and Pharaoh went their separate ways til the day the Princess would be old enough to come to the Pharoah's palace.

The beginning of Destiny
Over in the Nile Kingdom, Princess Angela who was Maahes daughter was watching her two daughters. Her husband watched his wife as their two girls were sleeping. They had already seen that both girls had two different birthmarks. The Nile Princess had a water drop birthmark on her back and the other Princess had a birthmark on her arm, they had called her mark one of the markings of the fire dragon. Soon the girls were taken into the baby room where another crib was. In this other crib was a girl with a fire dragon tail birthmark on her left shoulder.
While Maahes was not home, the guardians or the parents were able to talk freely about the future of the children.
Angela Said, "We need to find a way to not let father control our children's lives."
Akila said, "We need to take them away from here so that we can raise them right."
"My cousin, he has a horse ranch in the Pharaoh's village. I can buy it and we can raise them there." Max offered
After a little bit of debating, they all agreed to do that. Max had sent a letter out to buy his cousins' horse ranch for which his cousin agreed. So when they were all ready they got on horses leaving a letter for Maahes that they had left and taken the princesses with them.
When Maahes returned, he walked in his kingdom it was a few hours later than when his daughter had left with her children. He looked around before he went to his throne room then as he sat down he did some thinking.
"GUARD!" He yelled
The guard came in and bowed "Yes, your majesty?" He said
"I wish to see my granddaughter. The Nile Princess, have my daughter bring her to me." Maahes said
"I'm sorry sir, but I can not." The guard informed him.
"Why? Where is my daughter and her children?!" Maahes asked
A servant brought forth a letter and handed it to Maahes and he took it to read.
Dear father,
I have left with my husband and my children. Akila had come with us, we wish to raise and protect our children away from the teachings you will strictly put on them. When they are old enough for their first ball we will bring them to visit.
Love
Your daughter Angela
In the next few years, the three raised the children in the way they wanted them to be raised. Three girls were three while the other one was only two years old. The girls names were Brittania (Britt) the Nile Princess, Breanna (Bre) the fire dragon princess, Hathor the fire princess, and Amealia (Nana) the Princess of Bast. The girls were never allowed out until they were taught how to walk all the way so they were always inside unless one of the adults were outside.
The following year, Maahes had tracked down where they were living. He summoned his daughter and her husband to have a meeting with them. When the parents showed up they took seats in the meeting room across from Angela's father.
"You summoned us, father?" Angela asked
"Yes, I did my daughter. I wish to know what you both were thinking?! I had left to talk with my friend about the Nile Princess's future!" Maahes said
"What did you do?" Max asked
"I betrothed your daughter to the Prince of Egypt. She will marry him and become the next Queen of Egypt." Maahees said
Angela was shocked that her father did such a thing without her consent. Though her father was her king so she couldn't completely argue with him about his choices.
"What about my other daughter?" Angela asked
"All princess's will be betrothed before their coming of age." Maahes said
Angela kept her 2-year-old daughter a secret, for if her father knew that she had another princess then he would try to decide her life as he did for her others.
I can't believe he did this. Angela thought
A couple years later, Britt, Bre, and Hathor had started going outside. Britt had a small group of friends that she had made. Their names were Jake, Mira, Nannia, Hathor, and Zoey. Mira had black hair and brown eyes, Nannia had brown and blue eyes, Olivia had blonde hair and blue eyes, and Hathor had brown hair and green eyes. All of her friends had tan skin like her but Zoey had brown hair with light gray highlights in her hair and purple eyes, but Zoey was a thief instead of a peasant with the others. Jake had tan skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes.
The group of friends plus Bre and Hathor all were running around. Zoey and Britt were running to see who was faster when suddenly Zoey started to slow down. Britt looked back for a minute and a minute is all it took for her to run into someone. When she fell to the ground she had her cloak around her head and rubbed her back a little as she looked in front of her seeing someone in a black cloak.
"S-Sorry.." She said as she looked at him. All she saw was his purple eyes in that black cloak and all he could see under her cloak was her light purple eyes. When her group of friends was coming over the person in the black cloak got up and ran off. Zoey helped Britt up as Hathor and Bre were looking in the direction the person had run off.
"Who was that?" Hathor asked
"I-I do not know.." Britt said to Hathor
"Well, maybe we'll find out someday." Bre said
Zoey made sure that Britt was ok before she smiled. Mira and Nannia were glad their friend was ok. Suddenly the girls were called inside.
"Sorry, we gotta go see you tomorrow." The three said as they all ran towards the house. Secretly the boy in the black cloak was watching the girl he had just seen in the gray cloak ran away. He hid from the group they were talking to.
Zoey, Mira, Hathor, and Olivia were walking together as they passed where he was hiding. "Britt is an awesome friend. Too bad that she has to always go in and hide with a cloak." Mira said
"We all know there's a reason for that." Zoey reminded them
so maybe this girl in the cloak is a royal. The other two had cloaks as well. A red cloak and a light blue cloak. Only royalty wear colors. He thought now wondering if the girls he saw were princesses.
Britt, Bre, and Hathor were all sitting there waiting for the three adults to come in. "You all are six years old now. It's time you get the special necklaces destined for you." Akila said
After that was said, Bre got a red and blue necklace that was put around her neck, Britt had a light blue necklace put around her neck and Hathor had a red and orange necklace put around her neck. As the three adults watched the amulets glowed being on the right girls. Their eyes even glowed a little with their necklaces on them.
It's the beginning of their destinies. Angela and Akila thought

Finding the destined horses
The girls were told to keep their cloaks on, as they were to keep their identities secret. So for the next few days, they met up with their friends. The group sat in a circle by the water. Jake, Chris, Mira, Heather, Nannia, Hathor, Britt, and Bre were sitting there. The group noticed the girls were wearing cloaks but had necklaces around their necks this time.
"So what's with the necklaces?" Jake asked
The three just shrugged as they were not entirely sure their selves. "Gifts, I guess," Hathor said
Jake and Chris wondered why the girls always had to wear cloaks. Jake had grown fond of Britt who always sat in between her sister and her cousin. Nana hadn't been coming out with them but everything would slowly start changing for them. Britt was smiling at everyone in the group when she noticed someone in a black cloak not far from them. She didn't say anything but she was looking at the hooded person and they seemed to be looking at her.
Jake noticed Britt seemed to be distracted; the young man had always been fond of his friend Britt with her sibling and cousin. Jake hid that deep down he had developed a crush on her and Chris had done the same with Hathor. The two never revealed to the two girls how they felt. Knowing that she never would unless he got the nerve to tell.
" Ha guys did you know that there are princesses in town," Jake asked
They all looked at him and started laughing like crazy.
" No, its true I heard that too," Chris said
" You two are funny, if they were they wouldn't be here they would be in the palace," said Heather
" Hey to be truthful, but this place is not for princesses," Hathor said
They all agreed and were done with the conversation so they all got up and went to play a game. As they played they noticed a noise come from the barn that was a few ways out from the house.
" What was that?" Britt asked
" I don't know," Hathor answered
" Let's go check it out," Nannia said
" No, my parents are out.," said Britt
" So?" Hathor said and started running to the barn
Everyone started running to the barn and Britt followed to but no matter how fast they ran Hathor was too fast but then Britt caught up. Hathor and Britt were at the same speed, but as they were running, what they didn't know was that the boy the three seen earlier was fallowing. As they got there they saw horses inside the stalls. Britt, Hathor, and everyone were walking around looking at the horse but every time they would try they would go wild.
" You won't be able to touch them, they're wild things. They're special horses apparently they choose their owners not you choose them." said the farmer
The horses intrigued the three girls with cloaks, a white one caught Bre's attention as she slowly went over to it. It seemed to back up but when she put her hand out it came over letting her pet it. Britt found an all black one that caught her attention. She went over to it as it; the two seemed to be in synch as the black stallion came close to her. Hathor went to the stall of the Black with a gray outline on the main and tail horse and slowly approached as the horse came close to where Hathor was and rubbed it's head against her.
" How is this possible? These small horses don't let anyone touch them. They are so wild, they have not ever had any owner before." the farmer yelled
" Well now they do, isn't that right heb?" said Britt
" Yeah, my horse name is snow," said Bre
" Mine is shadow," said Hathor
" Can we keep them please?" Bre said
" Well, they're not going to like anyone else, so sure. Do you know how to ride horses? Just to let you know they're all boys" said the farmer
" We've not ridden any ourselves yet. Oh, they're all boys? Ok." they all said
" Well then come tomorrow and I will teach you," he said
They all were very excited and ran home.
" Thank you" Hathor yelled and then disappeared
They all ran back home and went inside but as they did they told Britt's parents everything from finding the horses, to finding out they were wild and yet they came to them. The parents and Akila were skeptical.
The next day went by and their girls got up then dressed as they left their rooms to wake up the adults so they could go show them the horses and get their riding lesson. The parent told the girls to get their cloaks on and they did as they were told. The girls led the way to the barn.
As they got there they walked in the barn and seen the farmer.
" Hello girls," he said
" Hello," they said at the same time
" This must be the parents?" said the farmer
" Yes, I am the father to Britt and Bre the twins." said max
" Well, our girls and their cousin said that they have horses of their own," Angela said
" Yes, they're right here," the farmer pointed
As they look they saw the horses but they were little horses that would grow with the girls, each girl was standing by their horse.
" Ok, so do have horses of their own," Angela said
" Yep," Hathor said
" So what are their names?" max asked
" This is Heb, short for Hebany," said Britt
" This is snow," said Bre
" And this is shadow or you can call him stormy," Hathor said with a smile
" Well then let's get riding," the farmer said as he gave instructions to the girls how to get on.
" The horses are settled up so get on," he told them
The girls did what he told them to do and they all got on without a problem then started to ride with no trouble at all.

the royal ball
As the few months went by the girls now traveled by horse, the other friends were going to be coming around to hang out. Jake wanted to see Britt, as he was eager to see her. Hathor was making shadow run so she could be in front of the group that was her cousins and her. Nana had joined them in coming out while they were all riding horses. She rode on Heb with Britt.
A little later the group had started to play hide and seek. The horses stayed put as the girls were deciding who was going to be looking and who was going to be hiding. It ended up that Jake and Chris was going to be the one looking for the others. So the group split up so that they could figure out what they were going to be doing.
Hathor and Britt both ran different directions so they could be hiding in places no one would be looking for them. As they were each getting to their hiding spots they bumped into people and pulled the people into a shady spot so that it wouldn't work against the game.
"W-Who are you?!" Britt whispered as she saw it was the person in the black cloak again. She knew the person had purple eyes like her.
As she was waiting for an answer, Hathor was interrogating the person in the gray cloak."Who are you?" Hathor asked
The boy removed his hood to show his features. Hathor was shocked to see a kind hearted look in the boy's eyes. "My name is Arim." He said she looked at him confused as she looked at him. "I do not like that name so I will give you something else," Hathor said, then she thought about it. "I will call you Yugi." The boy smiled a little for it was actually his real name but he was not allowed to tell many people. Though he was searching for his prince to make sure he's safe.
Over where Britt was hiding she saw the person move their cloak to reveal their face, which made her shocked. She had never seen someone with tri-color hair before. "My name is Yami." He said to her, She moved her cloak some "I am Britt." She said but when she heard someone coming close by she got near ‘Yami' and hid with using his cloak to block her from view.
Where is she? She's must be here somewhere! I want to find Britt first! Jake thought
Stay quiet…please don't say anything or else I'll lose the game. Britt thought, she hadn't realized she was showing some of his royal clothing but luckily it wasn't hard to see how dark the area was where they were hiding. Jake eventually walked away from where he thought Britt would be hiding then she let go of ‘Yami's' cloak.
"Do you not like that guy?" Yami asked
"It is not that, we are playing a game," Britt answered
"A..Game?" Yami asked
She nods as she took the time to explain about their game. The prince in front of her had never heard of such a game. So when she hid there being quiet he took the opportunity to take in some of the features he could see about the girl.
She has brown hair and purple highlights, her eyes are purple but she is wearing a cloak so I cannot tell whether she is royal or not. Atem thought
Meanwhile, in the forest not far from them Hathor and ‘Arim' whose name was really Yugi were talking to each other while Hathor was hiding. The two climbed up a tree to talk.
"So, your name is Hathor?" Yugi asked
"Yes, that is my name Yugi," Hathor said she lay back against the tree looking at him
"So why are you out here in the forest?" She asked
Yugi was hesitant for that answer but he decided to answer as honest as he could.
"I am looking for my friend. He ran away from home and said something about finding a girl in a gray cloak." Yugi answered
Hathor was shocked to hear that
"A girl in a gray cloak? He's looking for my cousin?" Hathor asked
"Your cousin? Oh so you know the girl, can you lead me to her? I bet he's somewhere near her." Yugi asked
Hathor nod as she led the way to where her cousin Britt liked to hide. Britt and ‘Yami' pulled their cloaks over their heads around the time they heard footsteps. Britt ran farther into the darkness of the cave they were hiding in and that's when she looked from where she stood. ‘Yami' stood up and looked to see who was coming that's when he saw the red cloak and the gray cloak.
"Arim?" He said, Britt came out and walked toward them "Yami you know the one person next to my cousin?" Britt asked
"Well, I'm pretty sure he does cause Yugi is looking for him." Hathor said, "Yugi? I thought it was Arim, not Yugi." Britt asked. "Well, I call him Yugi," Hathor said
The four went back farther into the cave as they talked to each other. It was a little later when Jake and Chris walked into the cave.
"Britt? Hathor?" The boys said the girls leaned a bit close to their friend companions in the cave. Britt ducked a little to be shielded by ‘Yami's' cloak while Hathor tried to blend with Yugi's cloak. When the boys got farther in they only saw the two cloaked figures.
"Hey, you two what did you two do with the girls? This is their hiding spot." Jake and Chris yelled.
The two were about to answer when the girls looked over at them like they were crazy.
"What are you talking about? We can hang out with whomever we want." Hathor said
"Yeah, you're not our guys," Britt said
Atem and Yugi both looked at the girls and their thoughts were making them wonder if the two sitting by them were not royals.
Is Hathor a royal? I mean she is wearing a red cloak. Yugi thought
Chris came over and grabbed Hathor's wrist. "Come on we're going to meet with the others, I don't trust these guys."
Hathor pulled her wrist away and pushed him toward Jake. Knowing Chris was having a hard time with Hathor, he went over to Britt and took her hand. Britt went to pull her hand away but before she got a chance to fully pull it away ‘Yami' grabbed her arm and helped her get free of Jake. He then grabbed her hand and led her farther in the cave, taking his prince's move Yugi did the same with Hathor making it harder for the boys to find them.
What is going on?! How can two strangers get close to Britt and Hathor but we can't?! Jake and Chris thought
The two boys had to leave the cave and once they were out of sight. The group relaxed, as they talked though it was noticeable that the four was getting along well. Sadly though they all had to separate for it was time for everyone to go home.
As Yugi and Atem walked back to the horses that had been kept hidden, they both got on their horses.
"What are you thinking my prince?" Yugi asked
"I am thinking that both of those girls are not peasants. Hopefully, Ra will guide the way for us to learn the truth." Atem answered as he sent his horse in a run for the palace. Yugi was right along side him. "Oh and what kind of name is Arim?" Atem asked
"Uh…to pretend to be a brother?" Yugi answered, then he sighed, "I know I am just a servant."
"You may be, but you are my friend." Atem reminded him as they were approaching the palace.
As they got their horses in the stables, Atem and Yugi both snuck in the palace without being seen. Atem threw his cloak on his bed then went out. A guard approached him around that time.
"Excuse me prince, but the Pharaoh wishes to see you." The guard said
What could father want? He thought as he went to the throne room to see his father.
When he entered the room he saw his father sitting on the throne waiting for him. When his father noticed him he got up and walked over to his son placing a hand on his shoulder. "I'm glad you came my son." The Pharaoh said
"What is so important father?" Atem asked him
"In a few months, you will be attending the ball here at the palace. You are aware of our customs." The Pharaoh said
"You mean about you deciding my wife?" Atem asked
"Well, I only hope for the best when making sure to ensure you are happy my son. Your betrothed princess will be attending the ball." The Pharaoh said
Atem talked a little longer with his father before he returned to his room. He didn't like the idea that he had to be betrothed and as he layed on his bed all he could think about was Britt. The girl in the gray cloaks he had met today.
Meanwhile, Yugi was laying in his servant bed thinking of Hathor, he couldn't help but wonder about the girl. Who was she really and was she a royal or just a peasant?
In the village, the girls were having dinner with their family and then turned in for bed. Britt and Hathor tried to sleep but their minds were overloaded with thoughts of today. The boys they had met had their curiosity since they didn't know many people that were easy to talk to. Thought eventually during the night the girls fell asleep.
For the next month, the girls were learning how to dance properly for a ball. That had Britt, Hathor, Bre and Nana's attention when they learned they were going to a ball. After being able to dance appropriately for their age. The girls were told to get on their horses for which they did and the parents along with Akila got on their horses to lead the girls to the Nile Kingdom.
Once they arrived, the girls were addressed by their proper names. The servants bowed to them as they all walked in the Nile Kingdom.
"Nile Princess Brittania, Fire Dragon Princess Brianna, and Fire Princess Hathor welcome home." The servants said but when they saw the other girl they were not sure what to call her.
"Princess of Bast Amealia" Angela told them
The servants were amazed that one was born with the power of Bast, the cat goddess of animals. No one had ever expected such a thing to happen but as everyone could tell the girls were all gifted. Aiden who was two years older then the girls walked alongside his father. The servants bowed to him "Prince Aiden Welcome home."
For the following weeks, the girls had been with the royal tailors to design them dresses to wear in the Kingdom that would fit them but to make their dresses for the ball. The four girls did not like the attention they were getting after spending time outside of the palace walls in the village.
I miss Yami…whenever I had a chance before we came here I always went out to meet with him…now I cannot do that until after this ball. Britt thought, she looked over and seen even Hathor was missing her new friend Yugi which made her sad for her cousin knowing that they could not see their new friends in the village or even go see their friends in the village at all.
Well, it does get us away from Jake and Chris. Britt thought
What Britt and Hathor didn't know was for the past few weeks; Bre had a new friend too. A boy with black hair, yellow/blue eyes and she had been helping him out so he didn't have to steal but now that she was not around where she could help him she wondered what he was up to.
Ceon, I hope you're safe. Bre thought
As time went on the day of the Ball came, every royal was invited so there was going to be many princesses and Princes there. The girls had taken their horses and packed their cloaks in case they would need them for such occasions to get away. So when the girls arrived at the palace the guards were there to escort their horses to the stables. Hathor helped with Shadow while Britt pets Heb three times before letting him go with the guards. Bre kissed Snow's white fur before she let him go and the horses seemed fine. When the girls walked in they were surprised how big the Pharaoh's palace was.
"Wow." The three of them said, then they all laughed a little. "Well, one special princess will one day live in this palace." Bre joked
As they made their way through, they found the ballroom where the ball was taking place. Yugi had spotted the group of girls and his mouth dropped seeing that two out of four of the princesses looked familiar.
Britt? Hathor? Yugi thought
As the girls had made their way in they took seats not wanting to get into the group of people, though a prince came over to the girls around that time. He offered his hand out to Hathor. "Excuse me, Princess, My name is Prince Sahir and I was wondering if you would like to dance?" Prince Sahir asked
"Uh, sure," Hathor said as she took his hand and as she was led to the dance floor she looked back at her cousins a bit nervous.
The Prince of Egypt, Prince Atem was late to the ball for he didn't think he could face his betrothed princess. He took a deep breath though and went down to the ball as he slowly walked in. Once he was in there many princesses that had come to the ball surrounded him.
How am I supposed to know which girl is my betrothed? Atem thought
As he made his way through the group of princesses, Hathor had come back to her cousins and they decided to go walk around so they didn't get asked to dance or anything. They talked with a few people to get to know everyone. Though the subject of Britt being Nile Princess came up quite a bit.
Atem was standing there when he decided to call for his friend at the moment. "YUGI," He said, around that time Yugi came running in the ball and over to Atem.
The girls were nearby them, not far when they heard the Prince's voice but also the name.
Yugi? Hathor thought
That voice sounds familiar. Britt thought
The girls slowly turned their heads to look back and they were shocked to see that the Prince and the servant looked familiar to them. Britt did her best not to try to draw attention but Hathor was in shock that Yugi or at least she thought it was the same Yugi was right there.
"Yes, Prince Atem?" Yugi asked
"Do you know anything about our friends?" Atem asked him.
"Not recently, but I do know there are two princesses here that look similar to them in facial features Prince," Yugi said to him with a bow.
Atem was shocked to hear Yugi say such a thing, could it be true, though. His heart almost wished what Yugi was saying was the truth that the girl in the gray cloak was here and was a princess. Though if her cousin were a princess as well that would mean bad news for Yugi, he knew the young boy had a crush on the girl in the red cloak. "Thank you, Yugi," Atem said
Yami? Wait that servant whose name is Yugi said Prince Atem…so it cannot be Yami. Britt thought
Yugi? Wait so if that is the same Yugi I met a few months ago then his name is not Arim. Hathor thought
Atem made his way through the crowd till he noticed a group of princesses walking together. In the middle was what his friend had said, for the Princess did look like Britt. He made his way over and approached the group.
"Excuse Me," He said as he got the girls attention.
Britt, Bre, and Hathor looked at him as he approached, though Britt felt nervous just looking at him for how much he looked like her friend Yami. Atem looked at the group then offered his hand to the Nile Princess.
"The rumors of your beauty are true Nile Princess, would you honor me with a dance?" Atem asked her
Britt was nervous as can be but before she could say anything Hathor pushed her forward a little. "Go on, go dance," Hathor said
"Sure, Prince," Britt said as she took his hand and he led her away from the group.
Bre and Hathor looked at each other and a smile formed on their faces. "10 gold coins she ends up with him" Hathor bet.
"You're on," Bre said
Britt and Atem danced together for a while, some princesses tried to get in the middle but Atem just ignored them. Hathor and Bre watched as one dance turned into many between Britt and the Prince.
Soon though the two were pulled apart as Britt's grandfather called for her and Atem's father called for him.
"It's time you meet my friend." The adults said as Maahes was leading Britt to meet the Pharaoh and the Pharaoh was leading Atem to meet Maahes.
As the two were looking at the adult they were walking to they were surprised to see each other again standing by someone else.
"Pharaoh, this is my granddaughter the Nile Princess Brittania, we call her Britt" Maahes said, Britt showed her respect to the Pharaoh.
"Nice to meet you Nile Princess, This is my son Prince Atem." The Pharaoh said, as Atem took her hand and kissed the top of it.
"My friend, they have met, did you not see them on the dance floor together?" Maahes asked.
"Yes, I did. You both seemed like you were having fun and that makes me glad." The Pharaoh said
Britt wondered why that made him glad and she looked at the prince. Atem looked at her then looked at his father. "Father, is this the princess you were talking about?" He asked
"Yes, the Nile Princess is your betrothed." The Pharaoh answered
Betrothed?! Britt thought
Hathor and Bre were nearby and they heard the same words come out of the pharaoh's mouth. Their mouths dropped hearing that Britt was betrothed to this prince that she had just danced with.
Are we betrothed to people too? They thought
After some time the girls, their brother, their parents along with a few other people went home. Britt, Hathor, and Bre had their horses run in a race to see who could get home first. When it came down to it Hathor and Britt were very close to each other winning the race.
Once home Britt and the others went to their rooms in the palace. Britt flopped on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
"Betrothed…Betrothed…I'm Betrothed?!" Britt said then she started to cry for she had feelings for her friend Yami.
Hathor hadn't said a word the entire time as she was looking at the ceiling thinking about Yugi.
Is he a servant? Am I betrothed to someone? But….I like Yugi. Hathor thought
Bre had been looking out the window, she whistled a little and when she wasn't sure she thought she saw a shadowy figure flying. She rubbed her eyes for a minute but the figure was gone.
Ceon I miss you. Bre thought

The second ball and the truth revealed
For the longest time Britt stared at the ceiling, she didn't realize when she fell asleep. Hathor had been letting her thoughts settle but she eventually fell asleep while Bre was staring at the outside and she still wondered what she had just seen.
Maybe I'll see Ceon again someday. Bre thought
The next morning the girls were called down to the dining hall to get introduced for a few people and have their breakfast. Servants pulled out their chairs for them as they each took their seats and the cooks put a plate in front of each girl for their breakfast. Their grandfather came in the room as he took a seat at the head of the table while Angela and Max had taken their own seats. Akila who had taken care of Hathor had taken her own seat to make sure that she was there too.
What is father up to today? Angela thought
As the breakfast went well for the family, Britt hoped they would be going back to the barn. She didn't mind being Princess but the attention was a bit more than she could handle right now. She finished her breakfast and was about to excuse herself when her grandfather cleared his throat.
"Sit Brittania!" Maahes said
Britt sat down as she looked at her grandfather.
"Now, you girls are back in the palace as such its time you get a personal servant," Maahes said
"Personal what?" The three asked at the same time.
Their grandfather snapped his fingers and three girls came running in the room. The three showed their respect as they were taught for the last years. The girls wondered who was going to be the princess they would be the personal servants to.
"Brittania come here," Maahes said to her and she slowly got up walking toward her grandfather.
He looked over at the girls "Kira." Maahes said
A girl with blue hair that Britt had never seen before came forth and showed her respect to the King and the Nile Princess. Maahes smiled at the young girl then looked at his granddaughter.
"From this day forth Kira will be your personal servant. She will get you everything you need and even after you marry she will be with you in your new home." Maahes said
Even after I marry…he really wants me to marry the prince of Egypt. Britt thought
After their introduction the two left the room, Maahes looked at the other girls and smiled at them.
"Hathor please come here," Maahes asked
Hathor got up as she went over to her grandfather wondering what he was going to say. She looked at the two girls who were left seeing that there was only two to choose from. She noticed one of the two had red hair, which intrigued her.
"Auset, come here," Maahes said
The girl with the red hair came over to them and she showed her respect. Not saying a word just like the other girl who had met her cousin Britt. "Auset for the remainder of your life and of the fire princess's life you are going to be her personal servant," Maahes said
Auset bowed her respect "Yes, my king." She said to them
Hathor and Auset left the room leaving only Bre and Nana left. Maahes wanted to get to know the Bastet princess so he did not have a personal servant ready for her but he motioned for his granddaughter Bre to come forth. She got up and slowly walked over to her grandfather. Her grandfather motioned for the girl standing there to come over and she did showing her respect.
"Bre, this is Shani. She will be your personal servant and get you everything you need." Maahes said
Bre left the room with Shani, each girl went to their rooms to learn more about their personal servant so that they could figure out how to make sense of all this. Britt looked at her window as she walked over to it longing to go out and see her friends.
"Princess, is there anything I can do for you to make you happy?" Kira asked seeing that her Princess was saddened by something.
"I wish to go out. I want to see my friends…and him." Britt said to Kira.
Kira was shocked to hear her Nile Princess had friends and someone that she wanted to see that she referred to the person as ‘him' and not a name.
"May I ask Princess, who is this him?" Kira asked
"A friend. He wears a black cloak and he's called Yami. He's a close friend of mine and we meet by the Nile water close to the horse ranch my father owns." Britt said then she realized that Kira had kept calling her princess. "In my room, you will address me as Britt. Not Princess."
"Yes, Prin-uh I mean Britt." Kira said to her with respect.
In the other girl's rooms, Hathor was pacing around and Bre was staring out her window. Both girls were longing to go see someone like Britt was and not wanting to be stuck in the palace their grandfather owned.
"Princess?" Auset asked Hathor
"Auset, right?" Hathor said
Auset nod and Hathor smiled "I like the name, Amie. So I will call you Amie." Hathor said to her.
Auset was shocked but she wasn't going to say no to her princess that she was the personal servant of.
Shani was watching Bre and she walked over to Bre with respect and bowed. "Princess, May I ask what is it like outside of these walls?" Shani asked
"It is amazing, you never know who you might meet. It is best to know the people in order to help that is what my twin would say." Bre said
"You and your twin sister are very close." Shani said
"We are, I know she longs to go out and find the friend she wants to see." Bre said knowing her sister very well. She knew Hathor wanted to go out and see a friend as well.
In the Pharaoh's palace, Atem was pacing back and forth. Many thoughts were coming to his mind knowing the princess…no not just any Princess, but the Nile Princess had the same hair and eyes as his friend Britt.
Could Brittania and Britt be the same person? Atem thought
He knew that he had been sneaking out with Yugi for the last few days and haven't found the girls since the couple months before the ball. He was starting to wonder if his new theory was true. He knew one way to find out was to go with Yugi and explore farther out than they normally would go to see if the girls were relocated in case of any danger.
Around this time Zoey, Mira, Nannia, Hathor, Jake and Chris had noticed that Britt, Hathor, Bre and their younger sister Nana had been gone. Zoey explained that they had moved closer to the Nile Kingdom but never said why to the degree of knowing how Jake and Chris were. Not far from the group was a boy with black hair, yellow/blue eyes and was around their age. He was listening in and had overheard Zoey say something about the Nile Kingdom. He knew that Zoey was indeed correct for he had been around that Area last night and saw Bre looking out a palace window in different clothing.
Bre is a princess.. Ceon thought
The group of friends decided they were going to travel over to the Nile kingdom to see if the girls were there. Ceon decided to follow the group and unknowingly to the group Atem and Yugi had come out with their cloaks and saw the group. They followed behind the group to see what they were going to be doing.
It was a few hours later when Britt decided to go out regardless of what her grandfather had told her. She grabbed her cloak and tossed one to Kira for the guards had given her a new one in the same color so she gave Kira her old one to use.
"What are we doing, Britt?" Kira asked
"We're going out," Britt answered
"O-Out?" Kira asked
"Yep, to the Nile waters," Britt answered
As the two girls got the cloaks on they rushed out, making sure not to be seen by the group of guards that were around. After sneaking out they went out by the water where they were surprised to see Hathor, Auset, Bre, and Shani were out there too. Britt laughed a little that they had the similar idea to her though she wasn't surprised to see her twin had the same idea.
"Well look who had the same idea as us." Hathor said
Bre went and looked then went over hugging her sister as Britt hugged her back.
"Glad you could make it out." Bre said
"Why wouldn't I? The water calls out to me." Britt said
The group was all talking with each other and laughing when they heard a group approaching. Britt, Bre, and Hathor all looked to see what was going on and were surprised to see their friends were there.
Jake and Chris were trying to run faster than the rest of the group to get to Britt and Hathor. Bre was surprised to see everyone, the servant girls stood between the boys and the two girls to keep them at bay. Around that time the rest of the group had caught up.
"So you're in this part of Egypt now," Nannia said
"Yeah, we are. Not by choice." Britt said
Some of the group was confused, "What do you mean?" They asked
The girls took a quick look around to make sure no one was near that would rat them out or harm them. Atem and Yugi were watching the group of friends seeing the girls they were looking for in the group. Ceon was watching as well but not so close to Atem and Yugi. When the girls dropped their cloaks to reveal themselves to their friends Atem and Yugi were both shocked.
"Y-You're princesses?!" The group of friends asked
"We are." The three of them answered
"I am Nile Princess Brittania, but you all know me as Britt. Please keep calling me just Britt." Britt said
"I am fire Dragon Princess Brianna, but as you all know I go by Bre," Bre said
"I am fire princess Hathor, and you call me Hathor," Hathor said
The girls were quick to put their cloaks back on to keep their identities safe. It took the group of friends a few minutes to process all this and even Atem and Yugi were processing this.
Britt…she's the Nile Princess…my betrothed…my theory was right…but sometimes I have to tell her the truth…will she hate me for lying to her at first? Atem thought
As the group of friends talks to the three girls for a while they left because they were getting tired so they said goodbye. Before they left Chris took Hathor's hand and Jake took Britt's hand as they said goodbye then tried to give them a hug but the girls backed away and took their hand back from them. Atem and Yugi were jealous a little especially Atem knowing that that was his betrothed.
The girls didn't want to leave because they wanted to spend time with each other for a while but they had to return to the palace. " I can't believe all these years we were princesses," Hathor said. Britt and Bre nod in agreement.
It wasn't long till two boys showed up and walked one walked to Britt then the other walked to Hathor.
" Yami," Britt said
" Yugi," Hathor said
" Hey," they both said
" What are you doing here?" Hathor and Britt said but they knew why they were there. They just wanted to see what their reason was.
"We were just walking around until we seen you, three girls." Yugi said
Sure you just wanted to see us Britt thought then smiled
The girls spent some time with their friends after being so long apart. Bre frowned though for she missed her friend that not even her sister or cousin knew about. As Britt and ‘Yami' were going to the water and sat down to talk for a bit. Hathor and Yugi were walking away to get some time to catch up. Bre was disappointed for a few moments before someone covered her eyes.
"Guess who?" The male voice said in her ear
"Hm..Ceon?" Bre guessed recognizing the voice of her friend.
Ceon turned Bre around and gave her a smile. It had been awhile for them so they went to catch up after the time apart.
"So how have you been?" Britt asked Yami.
"Same as the last time I saw you. Looking for adventure." Yami said
Britt laughed a little "Adventure?" Britt said
If only you knew the truth. Atem thought
Britt was looking out at the water; she eventually got up and let her cloak fall off her once again. Atem watched from inside his cloak at her looking out in the water but nothing could prepare him for what Britt did next. Britt ran out in the water and went under the water; Atem was about to go after her when he saw the Nile water start to glow.
Is this the power of the Nile Princess? The legend states that the Nile Princess has power gifted to her.. Atem thought
Meanwhile, Hathor was hanging out with Yugi. She had so many questions but she knew soon that her and her cousins would have to leave to go back home.
"How have you been?" Hathor asked
"I've been good. I have my friend to help out and he has been worried about your cousin." Yugi said
Yami has been worried about Britt? Does he like Britt? She's betrothed. Hathor thought
The personal servants had just sat around while watching their princesses socialize with the other boys that had shown up. They were not sure what to do so they were just sitting in the sand while they were watching.
Britt eventually came out of the water; the water soaked her hair and clothes. The blue that was in the water formed around her as an aura giving off to her inner Ka inside her soul, Kira and Atem were both watching her amazed at how she looked.
"You're a princess." Yami said
"I am. Not by choice." Britt answered before putting her cloak back on even though she was soaked.
There are many things to learn about her. Atem thought
After awhile the girls had to return home for dinner, Britt had changed and used her gift to dry her hair. They all went to dinner without having a problem while being in their grandfather's presence. In the meantime for the next several years, the girls had been going outside to secretly meet with their friends and the ones they had developed crushes on. Each year the girls had gotten something for their birthday. Soon the day came that the girls were turning twelve.
Britt was looking in her little chest she kept her jewelry in that Yami had given her. She smiled knowing she had somewhere to put things she wasn't wearing. Of course over the years she had received many gifts from him but now that her 12th birthday was coming close she could not see him because she had to prepare for another ball.
Another ball to see the prince of Egypt who is still my betrothed. Britt thought with a sigh
"Morning Britt." Kira said as she bowed to her princess, Kira could see that something was bugging her princess but she did not say anything.
"Kira, please help me pick an outfit to attend the ball in," Britt asked Kira
Kira nod as Britt went and placed a few dresses out that the royal tailors had made for her to make a good impression on her betrothed prince.
Kira looked at the dresses, she was not one for really judging for all the dresses seemed beautiful to her. So when Britt saw Kira could not decide she decided to try them on for Kira to see. As they were in the middle of that Hathor and Bre were deciding what to wear to the ball.
"Princess, I really can not decide." Kira said
Britt looked in a mirror she had in her room to see what she looked like. She had found a purple dress with some blue in it. She liked it for it matched her hair highlights and her power. "I think this one will do." She said
When Britt and Kira were heading out to the stables, She met with Hathor and Bre who had dressed to impress as well even though they were not meeting their betrothed princes today. Bre was wearing a blue dress while Hathor wore a red and orange dress to match her highlights and necklace.
"Well guess we are all ready to go to the ball," Hathor said
"Yes, but we are going to be staying there for a few days." Britt reminded them
Kira had Britt's clothing for the next few days, Amie had Hathor's and Shani had Bre's so that they were all prepared. In the time the girls had been growing up their horses were now fully grown. When it was time to leave the girls got on their horses having their personal servants get on behind them so that they could get there faster.
I cannot believe Bre and my birthday will be while we are there. I cannot even see Yami for my birthday this year. Britt thought with a frown.
Bre had an extra necklace around her neck, it had black wings on it and she kept it hidden behind her gifted necklace so her sister and cousin didn't notice it. She knew if they had seen it they would be asking her who gave it to her and how she got it.
I have to tell Britt someday though about him. Bre thought
The girls were riding their horses to the palace, their personal servants had to hold on so that they did not fall off. The girls had left without their parents/guardians for their parents or guardians were going to be there for another day. They had to go early to arrive on time for the ball.
The girls had stopped in the village to see their friends before heading the rest of the way to the palace. They had their cloaks on to not get the people of the Pharaoh's village staring at them. The girls unmounted from their horses and it wasn't long after their group of friends came running towards them.
"You're all here." They said
Jake and Chris wanted to see Britt and Hathor's face but the girls refused to remove their top part of the cloak that was covering their head.
"Jake,...give it up. I'm betrothed." Britt said to Jake
Jake was shocked to hear that his crush…no his Britt was betrothed to another boy. He was a bit saddened and angry to hear such a thing that he wanted to know whom the guy was.
"Betrothed? To whom?" Jake demanded
"Your Prince," Bre answered for her sister
Hathor smirked under the hood of her cloak. "We're all betrothed to someone," Hathor announced
That shocked Chris to hear that his Hathor was also betrothed.
After a bit of time, the girls had to say goodbye to their friends as they got on their horses heading back to the Pharaoh's palace. The girls removed their hoods to reveal who they were to the guards. Once the guards saw that it was the Princesses of the Nile Kingdom they bowed their respect.
"Princesses, we have been expecting your arrival." The guards said
The girls led their horses in and when they got off their horses they led the horses their selves to the stables ignoring the guards. Once they were done and their personal servants had gotten off the horses the girls walked toward the palace and slowly walked inside. Once inside a girl with brown hair, green eyes and a wand, greeted them but they were noticing how she dressed.
"Hi, welcome to the Palace," Mana said
"Uh hi," Britt said
Mana looked at the three girls as she was wondering which one was her best friend's betrothed. As she looked between the three girls her eyes landed on the Nile Princess last. Seeing her outfit having purple with blue throughout it made her realize right then she was looking at the Nile Princess of Egypt, her best friend's betrothed to be Queen of Egypt. She bowed her respect to the girls as the girls nod to her before they went walking around. They were early so the ball was not even to begin.
What am I going to do? I want to see Yami. Britt thought
I have to be here to support Britt, but maybe I can sneak out later to see Ceon. Bre thought
I wonder where Yugi is right now. Hathor thought
As the girls were walking around looking around the palace they were not watching where they were going. Atem and Yugi were walking around at that time as well and as the two boys were talking they did not watch where they were going. As the two groups were walking they suddenly bumped into each other, Atem fell backward and Britt fell on top of him while Yugi and Hathor ended up the same way. Britt blushed at the fact that now she had bumped into two people for she'd done the same thing with Yami.
"I-I am sorry Prince," Britt said as she looked in his eyes.
Those eyes…they look familiar. Britt thought
She realized after some time she had been staring into his eyes and she got off him. She turned away still blushing for she felt so embarrassed about the whole thing.
Hathor around this time had been staring at Yugi's features. It was the same as her friend Yugi that she couldn't believe how similar they were. Yugi's face ended up getting red as Hathor was staring at him. She eventually got off him and went over to make sure Britt was ok.
After they went their separate ways, the girls went to their rooms they stayed in. Hathor was pacing trying to figure out why the servant looked familiar to her. As she was thinking about everything she started to realize, her friend, her crush was the servant Yugi who lived in this palace and beside him was the person Britt crushed on. His name was not Yami, but Atem the prince her cousin was betrothed to. A little time had passed while she had been figuring all this out so she went to her cousin's room and knocked. When she didn't hear anything she opened the door.
"Britt, are you here?" Hathor asked
There was no answer and the room was empty except with Britt's clothes and jewelry inside the room. It was clear that she wasn't in the room. As Hathor was about to leave the room she saw Kira coming to the room and then bowed to her.
"Can I help you princess Hathor?" Kira asked
"I am looking for my cousin Britt," Hathor said
"Oh, she has been called to the throne room to talk with the Pharaoh. If you don't mind me saying Princess there are some rumors that tonight Princess Britt will be getting a ring." Kira said
A ring? Hathor thought
Hathor was about to walk away but then she heard Kira say. "It is rumored all betrothed girls are getting rings tonight." That stopped Hathor in her tracks for she knew that she had a betrothed prince she was still unsure of due to the fact her grandfather was busy with his precious Nile Princess at the time.
Hathor went to get ready for the ball then she went to catch her cousin. She was walking to the garden at the time but was passing the Pharaoh's throne room where she saw the Prince and the Pharaoh.
"Nile Princess, it is said you are gifted. May you please show us a sample of your power?" The Pharaoh asked as he had servants bring some water forth.
Britt was shocked and though she knew that not many knew about her power she did not want to disrespect the Pharaoh so she concentrated using her gifted power to show what she could do. With her power, she ended up making a chair, which she sat in after it was fully formed.
Hathor was shocked for she hadn't known much about her own power, and she could see the Pharaoh and the Prince were both impressed by what she could do. Hathor went to the garden where she tried to figure out her own power. As she spent some time in the garden until she formed a small flame, which she controlled.
Was I supposed to be somewhere? The ball! Hathor thought realizing she was late.
Hathor was running until she made her way to the ballroom. As she was heading in she was looking for her cousin when she found her pacing back and forth. Hathor went over to get her to stop pacing and have her look at her.
"Britt, what is wrong?" Hathor asked
"Have you heard the rumors?" Britt asked
"Yes, I have. About the rings." Hathor answered, Britt nod in agreement.
Bre soon joined the two girls as they were all talking amongst their selves, suddenly the three girls were approached by Sahir, Atem and a prince named Ethan, the three asked each princess to dance.
Britt took prince Atem's hand to dance with him, Hathor took Sahir's hand and Bre took Prince Ethan's hand, as the three girls were lead out to dance. Atem and Britt danced for awhile, Hathor was wondering about when she would figure out who would be her betrothed prince while Bre was just trying to enjoy the ball. After the three were done, each of the princes's led the princesses out of the ball to talk to them privately.
Britt wondered where they were going and when they arrived at the little pond not far from the ballroom. Britt wondered why he had brought her out here. She shifted a little while she saw he was looking at her. She put her hand in the water as it glowed at her touch.
"Have you enjoyed tonight?" Atem asked
"I have." She answered
"I heard tomorrow is your birthday." Atem said
"It is." She said
Atem walked away from her for a few minutes and brought out a few things, one was a present for her birthday and the other was what his father wanted him to give to her. He walked back then sat by her. He handed her a sapphire gold necklace to wear, which she accepted from him.
"Thanks." She said
"Happy early birthday Britt," Atem said
Britt's eye flinched a little hearing him say that it reminded her of Yami. Then the next thing she knew was he was taking her hand and slipping a ring on her finger. She looked at it and then at him.
"Father wanted me to give it to you. A symbol of our betrothal." Atem said
Around this time Hathor was hanging out with Sahir outside by the stables when he had given her a ring. She wanted to not accept it but then Sahir said something that shocked her.
"You are my betrothed Princess," Sahir said
This is my betrothed Prince?! But I like Yugi. Hathor thought
A little later the three walked in, but Britt was still walking with Atem. Hathor and Bre went to sit down alone as they both were upset about the situation for they liked other people and they knew Britt did too. Hathor was letting a few tears fall as she looked down at the ring. Atem raised Britt's hand up as he kissed the back of it then let her go to her sister and cousin. Britt walked over to the group as she saw what was going on.
"Hathor?" Britt asked
"I do not like this. I wanted to be with someone else." Hathor said
"Me too. I would rather run away from my betrothal." Bre said, then Bre and Hathor looked at Britt "What about you?"
"I do not have a choice in this matter but I like someone," Britt said
Hathor kept herself from laughing for she knew Yami and Atem were the same people. She knew that Britt was already with the person she wanted to be with only he was hiding behind an Alias to conceal the truth about him.
Later that night Britt was being escorted around the palace by Atem while the other Prince's were leaving to head home so they took the time to say goodbye. Hathor and Bre went to their room to look out and think.
Yugi, why did you lie? Hathor thought
Ceon…I wish you were here to get me out of here. Bre thought
Britt was allowing him to escort her around until they finally made it to her room. Atem smiled at her, as he was in a way courting her until the day they would marry someday.
"Have a good sleep, Britt," Atem said
"Thank you, Prince Atem," Britt said
"Please just call me Atem." He told her
"Ok, good night Atem," Britt said
She was going to leave to go in her room when Atem grabbed her hand for a minute. He looked like he wanted to tell her something but he leaned in and kissed her cheek. She blushed at the contact.
"Sweet Dreams." He whispered to her
"T-thank you." She said
