Cries were heard in the Valindrian kingdom. The king barged in the royal chambers full armed with soldiers ready to charge against those who hurt his beloved. "What's wrong why...?!" Healers rushed towards the king bowing. "My lord congratulations they are twins first one born was the young baby girl then the young baby boy." The king was surprised he thought someone was hurting his beloved wife he altered everyone to go to the royal chamber. "Holy Ra twins we've been blessed Amunet." "Halit two beautiful twins Halit!" The queen smiled as she held the twins. The king picked one of the twins in his arms and sat next to his queen. "What shall we name?..." "Her you're holding your daughter Morgana." The queen laughed as she looked at her husband reaction when he checked which baby he had. "Morgana I like it, Morgana the Valindrian Queen! How about our little king what's his name?" The king hugged the baby girl in his arms gently. "Darkus my king that's the name I chose." The king stood up happily. "Haha Darkus the great! I'm blessed by the gods with my lovely Morgana and Darkus!" The king cheering was interrupted by the baby girl he was holding started crying from how loud he was. "Oh I'm sorry my baby girl." The king rocked the baby till she calmed down while the queen smiled at him. "Here hold them up both towards out people and in front of the gods to receive their blessing." The queen held the baby boy away from her and mentioned the king to grab him. "Help me beloved I don't want to drop them both." The king backed away and kept holding the baby girl. The queen sighed and with the help of her maids she weakly got up with the baby boy in her arms and walked with to the king. "I can carry both if you want scaredy king." The queen tried getting the baby girl out of the king's hands but he walked away from the queen to the balcony where the soldiers and people stayed waiting for a response of their king and queen. The queen sighed annoyed but followed the king outside. "My people I present you our greatest treasure that were born today my daughter Morgana and my son Darkus!" The people and soldiers around the palace cheered in happiness. The king gesture to his people to settle down and listen. "First I was blessed with my daughter and then seconds later with my son, tonight we celebrate their arrivals the next queen or king of Valindria!" The queen stared wide eyed at the king after the last part then she smiled for the crowd. The crowd again cheered and celebrated while goods where distributed. The queen grabbed the princess out of the kings arms and left towards the inside of the royal chambers. "What's wrong Amunet?" "Why did you say next queen or king can they both reign in peace over this land?" Amunet glared at the king who stared at her back confused. "They can't both reign they have to marry to do that and we both want the best for our daughters future and we will have a treaty of peace that when she turns 15 she will go marry the crowned prince of Egypt." The queen put both babies at the bassinet. "I'm afraid what will happen to bother of them how will they take it since I know both will be really close." The Queen said as she hugged the king and they left the room to leave the babies sleep. The people of Valindria with their king and queen celebrated the arrival of the young prince and princess. Little did they know the young princess had Sekhmets power inside of her.
Years later both parents king and queen of Valindria passed away to the afterlife for some rare sickness (one after the other). Before they passed away they made a contract between with the pharaoh of Egypt. His young daughter Morgana was to be wed with the crown prince Atem. In the Valindrian palace the young king Darkus argued with the queen Morgana. "I will not and I refuse to marry any man I don't know even if he's the son of that pharaoh!" Morgana threw stuff around the imperial council while Darkus tried to calm his sister and the council try to dodge the stuff being thrown around by the princess. "Everyone clear the room leave me and my sister be!" Darkus yelled as he tried dodging the imperial stamp being thrown to him. The Valindrian council left in a hurry trying to escape the queens wrath. "I'm older than you I should rule this kingdom not you!" Morgana yelled. "By seconds sister also you're a woman who in the other kingdoms will trade with a queen?!" Darkus exclaimed trying to get near his sister but failed as she kept throwing stuff from the desk. "I can't believe my parents left me as a peace treaty bargain chip did they even love me to began with!?" "Morgana stop destroying the room!" Darkus said annoyed while dodging for the zillion time what the young queen threw at him. "Morgana we cannot stop this marriage if we do we will cause a war to this kingdom and we cannot allow that!" Morgana went up to her brother with sword in hand. "Then we Weill bring war I prefer to fight than loose my authority, my reign, my life of liberty rather than to be enslaved to a man I don't know and not even love him!" Darkus took the sword away from his sister and grabbed her by the arms and sat her down on the floor with him. "Sekhmet calm down you know those words in that treaty paper can't be undone we must follow through for the sake of the people everything is already packed up for you to leave." Darkus stared at his sister with sadness he always admired his sister she was the strongest, smartest, and was the best in everything. He sometimes would envy her cause she was the favorite and was seen by the council and his father like the future queen of Valindria. He was happy and mad when he heard his twin sister would be separated from him to go and marry the pharaoh's son but happy that he would be king just like his father. Morgana got up from the ground and went to her room where it was very empty except for a few old dresses and things that couldn't fit in the carriages. "What?!" She searched for her stuff everywhere to find not a single one was left. "Darkus where are my possessions!" Darkus ran into the room but dodged a old perfume Morgana threw at him. "That was an imperial perfume the envoy of Thebes sent as a gift you ruined it." Darkus yelled as he looked at the perfume. "Where are my belongings brother!" Morgana yelled as she threw him the blankets and pillows that were in the bed. "They are in multiple carriages this stuff is all the things you won't need you'll get better ones in that place!" He said as he threw on of the blankets back on Morgana face. "I hate you brother!" Morgana yelled as she past him towards the outside of the palace. "It's not my fault sister our parents decided this and it's the best for our people!" "I don't want to leave my people specially you brother. I know why you are so persistent for me to leave and marry that ugh daddies little prince you want to rule this land! Not only that what's the better way to get rid of the queen your sister that you couldn't even compete with the one you wanted to get rid of since when you were little!" Morgana yelled as she stopped in front of her brother in the royal hall. The new king went up to his sister and tried to kiss her on the forehead but she rejected it and walked away from him and glared. "I won't even say goodbye to you, you don't deserve it because I will come back and you'll have to sit down as I take my throne back!" She yelled as she walked away towards outside and got on the carriage she was going to go in. Darkus in tears ran out just in time to see the carriages where his sister went left towards Egypt. It hurt him to say goodbye to her but the worst part was her words stung to him like venom to him. While the queen left her land she stared out the carriage where she saw her people come out and say goodbye in tears. She order the servants to go faster once out the city she cried in silence once they arrived outside the border of the city. For a few uneventful hours she looked out the carriage to see the outline of the city of Thebes. She sat back down and smiled knowing that they sent her favorite horse Entei with them. She whistled and made a cawing noise and the horse transformed into an indomitable beast. The horse thrashed around throwing the special guardian that cared for the horse to the ground. The horse attacked several men kicking them to their deaths while the queen ascended from her carriage and took out her sword form it's sheath and killed the rest of the guards. "Sorry but I won't be going to be a slave of those people." She took off some of her belongings specially some gold and strapped them on Entei. "Go to that big palace over there they will think I was killed or something happened." She said to the horse and slapped them so they would leave. She mounted Entei and fled after them till she got to the city and went another way in order for find her way to hide. She found an abandoned house and crept through the opening on the side of the wall. She came back after looking if anyone was inside but didn't find anything and went up to Entei. "Entei leave I'll call you when I would need you boy run free towards our home in Valindria." She instructed the horse as she took her stuff inside then shoved the horse away out of the place. She then took her stuff up the old sand stairs to see five kids standing at the very top of the staircase. "Where did you guys come from when I checked no one was here in this place." Morgana interrogated while looking at the torn old rags the kids had. The eldest one descended one step and pointed at her. "Who are you?" "My name is Morgana why are you five kids alone here?" The smaller ones trembled in fear while the older one tried his best trying to keep composure. "Our parents were killed by some bandits and we fled the home we had in fear the bandits would find us and kill us too so we hid ourselves here in this abandoned house." "Why don't you just go to the pharaoh and seek help?" Morgana said as she put her stuff down while looking at them. "The pharaoh never has time for anyone let alone five kids like us." Morgana curious about how the pharaoh neglected his people yet was mad. "Who told you the pharaoh wasn't available?" "One of the pharaoh's priest threw us out when we tried seeking help." The five bowed their heads in sadness. "What's that priest name?" "He's priest Seth he's also known as priest Seto he's the right hand of the pharaoh." The kids didn't look up except the elder one. "Ugh that son of..." Morgana stomped her foot in the ground mad. "You don't seem from around here." One of the kids behind the eldest pointed out. "No I'm not from here I'm from Valindria for some reason.." Morgana tried to keep her cool in front of the kids. "Why though don't you have family that will miss you." Morgana's smiled with bitterness towards the kids. "My brother sent me here to get rid of me since he so badly wanted to rule Valindria." "Why he do that? Another kid asked. "What a bad and mean brother." The smallest of them said while crossing his little arms over his chest. "You see I was supposed to be queen of Valindria since I was born first but my father thought it was the best for me to come marry the pharaoh's son Atem I order to make peace with my country." Morgana said while crossing her arms and pouting. "You're a queen!" One of the kids cheered. "Yes but I ambushed the guards and servants that were sent with me and I escaped." Morgana said as she sat on the ground on the bottom of the staircase while the kids did the same but on top of the staircase. "What are you going to do now?" Said the eldest of the kids. "Well stay here with you guys I can get you food, set of new clothes, and even protect you guys if you guys would allow me to." The kids stood up and gathered around in a group and whispered among themselves while Morgana stared at them. "We agreed with a yes you can stay with us but how are we going to get food and clothes we don't have money." Morgana smiled and got up. "Don't worry little ones I brought the money I was sent with here and some of my clothes where can I stay?" The kids went down the staircase and grabbed Morgana's hands and pulled her up the stairs. There's another room over there on the next door with an old bed don't worry about us we all sleep together over here in this room on this bed." She peered in the room where they mentioned and saw an old bed with a semi good wardrobe there with the door open. [Morgana in her mind.] "So that's where they were hiding." She walked to the other room and opened the door to the other room which looked similar like the other room just that the wardrobe was closed. "Are you sure about this?" "Yes we always sleep together." Morgana smiled at them then walked back to them. "Alright let me get my stuff to this room then we will go find something to eat and drink." "Alright!" The kids cheered and Morgana went down the stairs to carry up her stuff. She opened the wardrobe and felt for some empty space on the wall of it she messed with the wood and it opened to see some jewelry someone hid there on the wall. She took them out and place them outside the wardrobe then she hid some of the valuable things inside the whole and put some sort of trap just incase someone opened it it would injure them. Then she took her clothes and hanged them and placed  the trunks in the wardrobe to cover where she found the hole. She came out of the room and gestured the kids to follow her out the house. Now where of to my new little friends?" She asked as she put on her cape and hood on and following them towards a restaurant nearby.
