Thread: An Artifact, A Girl, and a God. |Lagerthas x BlackTalon|

It wasn't an unthinkable thing for Khepri, it was more an act of good faith. A test for her and even for him, to see if she had learnt what he wanted her to learn. To see if she would obey like she was told to and this clearly showed him that he was wrong to trust the young woman. She took off the second that they were at the bottom, and easily enough she was able to. It was what he had said that bussomed fear into the people's heart, they were to look at her but not touch her. So without any hesitation, none of the people in her way wanted to touch her nor stop her, they let her pass and run towards the Nile. Naari passed through crowds of traders, civilians and soldiers. Soldiers clad in leather armor with hide shields and khukri's as blades, they were patrolling and some even thought to stop her but remembered what their god had said to them. So they left her be as she pushed through the crowds so desperate to find an answer to her lingering question if this entire scenario was real, if she was infact claimed by her god. It wasn't until Naari breached the riverbed of the Nile that Khepri moved himself. Anger was clearly written over his face as his eyes flared wide open towards the Nile, his muscles tensed up and veins became apparent onto the surface of his skin. Without much effort, the man catapulted forward and with each footstep the god made the ground shook downwards from the sheer force. Screams emitted from the surrounding crowds as they all made way for Khepri's rampage towards the Nile. It was as if it was written in a book, golden energy draped from Khepri as if he was the source of it. The golden strands of energy floated into the air before dissapearing as the distance between them and Khepri grew further. More and more energy emitted from Khepri as his distance between him and Naari became shorter and shorter. And as his feet breached water, he stopped forcefully and left a small crater into the moist sand beneath his feet. As he stood still, the energy floated upwards from him in the form of cascading waves. Khepri looked around and knew here he had to look. Without hesitation the god jumped into the water and swimmed towards the place he had saved her from. The wreck that was formerly a way of transport was now just a broken piece of metal that served no other purpose than perhaps the housing of fish to protect from predators. Khepri saw what he needed to see. Naari that took in water and screamed as she saw the sight of her former companion, it was a sorry sight to see and it was proof that this was reality. But that was the least of her worries. Without any hesitation, Khepri latched his hand onto her arm and started to drag her along with him. He did not want for her to drown but wanted her to suffer all the more from this moment. He dragged her onto the bank of the Nile and pushed her down onto the ground. He grabbed his hands together and pushed a couple of times onto her chest to make sure that she was ridden of any water in her system. Khepri did not say anything to her. His satin shorts were drenched and his mood even worse. His hands just reached for her wrists and grabbed hold of them, with enough strength to hurt her. Not a word was spoken from his mouth but anger was written over his body, his muscles were tense, his teeth clenched together and his grip rough. He started walking and gave her no time to recover at all as he dragged her along, however he left her with the ability to follow on her feet. The golden waves that cascade from his body were warm to the touch and she could clearly feel them as they wrapped around her body and continued on further. His steps were heavy and left a dent into the sand they walked upon. He continued towards the destination he had first set. The base of the temple revealed the immaculate detail that had gone into the build of this massive building. Hieroglyphs were etched into the borders with extreme precision, reading a text about the greatness of Khepri. The god himself now walked the stairs up towards the large double door entrance of this colossal building. Once the entrance was reached, it revealed to them the hallway that was draped in red satin, decorated with golden etchings and borders. Khepri took an immediate right when he entered into the private courters of the compound. Down a set of stairs is where they went and soon they found themselves in a room with a large bath, the scent eminating from it resembled that of rosemary and milk. A rich mineral bath had been prepared for him. Khepri pushed Naari to her knees as they entered and after that his hands reached out to the wall and as before he had opened a wall, now he closed this one. Khepri turned around to her and now the aura that flowed from him increased in ferocity, the waves now turned into flames as he looked down at her, not a word said from his mouth. His finger went down under her chin and pulled her head up towards his to force her to look at him. Get in the bath. Without Clothes. he said softly.
