Hydra & Meta

Joseph must have had some serious trust issues then but fought his ego and his cold heart against his brothers, hmm!!! What a story! I just think it's a crap! I don't believe that one can forgive even if his brother's asked for forgiveness for selling him to Egyptian merchants. That's just heartless. But, if it didn't happen, Egypt won't have food nor the world, for that matter!, Andromida said that at seven she can understand life and how it works, while her dad is sheathing his sword and other blades.

Hiyaa!!! for Egypt, Midas shouted. As the fore front warrior he has learned the techniques of the Greeks. Their maneuvers are so clean, smooth and dynamic that his movements coincide with his soldier brother. The warrior on his left and right he vows to protect same as the others to him, so on and so forth. They promise to protect Egypt, its people and their families, thus, fighting the Hittites won't be an easy battle. The Hittite soldiers are cunning, with knowledge of bow and arrow, shielding and acrobatic movements, Egypt's infantry dynamics and military prowess is a perfect match definitely to them.

Move, one, two, three, positions, level up!!! Stop, shields, positions, halt! Wait….wait, now! Sheathe, strike, one two, kill!....., the infamous man who we call 'Dragon' shouts and tells us what we need to do. He instructs us on the timings, the techniques and when to strike so all of us will be in precision, in sync to each other and kill more as we could ever do in our lifetime. Just like the Greeks magnificent 300, we are called Egypt's 'Invinsibles'. We are like magicians, due to our black cloak and daggers, we can't be seen at night time, we move like ghosts in the shadows and strike when the enemy isn't looking. And we have killed a battalion with them even knowing it since they were asleep or drunk from a feast.

We are second to none and Midas tells me all his war fare, stories as the leader of the Invinsibles. So, I won't need to introduce myself to you, haha!

He said that war isn't a pretty sight. If he could only protect me or our people against the bloodshed or the battle, he would and leave the army for me and mother. Yet, he has a duty to uphold and people to protect, serve and since his loyalty is to pharaoh and our country, he never left the service. Midas, my father served the army for 10 years and when he died in battle, I was already 13 and is one of the promising soldiers up for key positions in the Egyptian infantry, thus, chosen to be general for pharaoh Henshupta and her office recently.

It wasn't easy when I trained to be the best soldier for Egypt. Not only because I as a girl but because I was poor. When father died mother and I moved from one city to another when due to poverty and lack of resources, mama didn't have a choice but work for a rich family in Thebes. Poor citizens didn't have much rights then, and especially since a girl, the infantry didn't allow me to enter the military trainings. Thanks to Sir An, who backed me up and stood like a father to me to help me get in the team. And that was the turning point in my life, my career as a warrior. I knew Lord Anhemnotep, pharaoh Henshus's family because she and her kin are our neighbor for many years when mother is maid to a noble and merchant An in Cairo. I continued fighting and was mentored in subjects such as Economics, Science, etc., by An with the Meta's assistance. He loved my stature, my strength and bravery in battle since maybe he never had a son. So in his merriment, he always give me silver every time I do military drills and fighting samples with his house guards or body guards. He seemed fond of me so much not only because his daughter Meta likes me and builds me up for him to like me, but because she loves me and always makes out with me after I finish practice and she tutors me at night. Sir An usually comes home at night after his travels and merchant duties, Meta and I are always left alone for several years until we turned fifteen.

Mida, promise me that when you become general, you take me away from here and marry me?, Meta said while we are lying down on her soft bed inside her room, bare, after we made love under the beautiful and calm moon. The moon knows all of our secrets and I love it for making Meta and I cherish moments like these together.

Yes, and I will sweep your feet to ask your father for your hand. Wait for me to return, huh Meta?

Yes, I will wait for you, but don't take too long of father will promise my hand to some boy in his rich league, and I would be so lonely I'd kill myself. For without you, I will die of loneliness and will miss your kisses always!, Meta added and jumped over me to kiss my lips which I accepted with much delight, love and passion.

Mother was about to turn off the candles light when she heard us giggling inside Meta's room. Meta forgot to close the door and mom walked right in and scolded me. Hurry Mida and wear your clothes, Master An is here and is about to enter Meta's ...

What's is going on here…..ahhhh, Meta? Mid…you insolent slave. You are meddling with my daughter? You perverted girl, get away from my daughter!!!!, Angregor shouted and in anger sheathed his sword but his guards and some maids including my mom stopped him. And when he calmed down….

I loved you like my own son but you repay me with this… get out from my sight. Leave and get out from our lives!, Angregor added and now is crying.

Sir An I love Meta!, I said standing in front of him and standing up for my love for his daughter.

I love her father and you can't separate us for I'd die if you do!, Meta cried while holding my arm.

But with this relations, you better stop this nonsense now for you will definitely die of sarcasm, hate, bullying and anger, since this type of relationship is unacceptable to us, to our kind, not now maybe in the future but not today. Pack your things Andrea and leave us! I'm sorry but you can no longer work here. Find a different place to live with Mida, Take care of her. Here is your salary and more. Go and find a home somewhere in Cairo, Angregor said calmly and held my mother's hands with care.
