AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

Neferka interjects, "It is extremely rare that they attack people. Usually they will make their home near large flocks of sheep or goats, where the occasional missing animal goes unnoticed. They have a slow digestive system, so a large animal will sustain them for a few months.

But our country is not alone in nature sometimes attacking people. I read in the newspaper not long ago about an incident in your county, when a logger in California was attacked and eaten by a grizzly bear."

"I suppose that's true, I've seen some really strange... animals... back home. But usually you see them coming! But bears are 'normal' creatures... I guess maybe these worms are normal for you. I'll have to be on guard next time I'm playing around in the sand."

She replies, "Not of my own, but I raised two of my sister's children so I think of them as mine."

"Where are they now? Do they go to school?"

She watched for another moment and she began to see some blood begin to seep. She immediately felt Cal put the salve on and tried not to jump. It felt like he'd just dropped an ice cube on her.
Once dabbed on the front it mixes slightly with the first drops of blood, giving it a brown rather than tan shade. He simultaneously applies some to the exit wound on her back. He then wipes his fingers off with a handkerchief and reseals the jar. The cold temperature soon fades and the paste becomes solid. He says, "I'm sorry to have to say this, but you can now put the gown back on."
 

She says, "My niece Esjah works for me at the hotel. My nephew Jamed is a soldier in General Orabi's army."

"Oh, so they are older. I don't know why I assumed they were young." She chuckled, "You'll have to forgive me, I'm rather nosy. I can't help it, it runs in the family!"

She took a moment to pull his head down and kiss him one more time before she began getting dressed. "It is just a tad chilly without it," she said. Get back into the clothing was a little more complicated than getting it off, but she was back in good order before long. "Is everything in place? Even if I could do something about the holes in the dress I wouldn't, they're evidence. But is the rest of me put back together?"
 

"Oh, so they are older. I don't know why I assumed they were young."
She replies, "They are young. She is thirteen and he is fifteen."

Neferka interjects, "There is nothing wrong with being inquisitive. I think it is safe to say that neither of us three would be where we are now if we fell into the role of the traditional female who only spoke when directly addressed by a male and never said what was really on our minds."

He replies, "Meagan knows a 'Mend' spell and can fix it tomorrow. They exit the carriage and she sees that they are in a very large courtyard with six-story buildings around on all sides and a large column in the center.

"I was living on my own by 15, it's not that young." She smiled. "Yes Nerferka, you are right, none of us are traditional, though Ela has been held back somewhat. But it sounds like not for long! And now as a Queen you can bring your whole country into the modern era. People have to listen to what you say.

George wants to make me a theater and name it after me, so I can sing there, but that isn't all that world changing. But it would certainly give me a place to say what's on my mind."

Neferka says, "Is that all? I would hope that he wanted to do far more than that. There is a 500-seat theater in Cairo that I could purchase and give to you if that is all it would take to make you satisfied."
