Children of the Egyxos Fairy

What has happened to June?

Kefer: How about an alliance between our two kingdoms? I'm sure my father would like to know of this arrangement if you want to agree.

Stella: I'd love too

Kefer gave Cleo a signal to translate what Stella had said for him.

Cleo: She'd love too, Kefer

Kefer: Thank-you, Stella

Exaton: I think it's time that we head home, I'm tired

Anubi: No arguments here

Cleo: Same

When they arrived home at the Grand Pyramid, Cleo had asked Steven where June was. He told her that she had stormed out of the room after having an argument about something, and she hadn't been back for a while.

June, now changed into something else, stormed the Grand Pyramid and attacked her mother. Her mother had just missed the attack, and was shocked to see her mother dodged the attack.

June: Why must you be perfect at everything? Why won't you let me go on missions with you?

Cleo: I'm not perfect at everything, June. You still need training mentally and emotionally. You can't just do physical training and call that enough.

June: So you're calling me unstable!?

Cleo: I'm saying you're not ready for fighting yet. You're a 13 year old child and you can't claim that you're mature, just because of your age . . . Fairy of Egyxos!

June: Just perfect, always the goddess everyone loves so much.

Cleo: I'm not claiming to be anyone, June! Everyone here sees me for who I am, the real me. You have put me onto a pedestal and can't see the real person underneath.

June: I can't hear you! I can't hear you!

Cleo: . . . Healing of the Southern Cross!

June dodged the attack launched by her mother, which left her speechless. June set an attack upon her mother, and the intended target had managed to avoid it with minor scrapes. What June didn't realise when battling with her mother, was that her brother had silently made his way behind her and attacked from behind, knocking her down.

June: What's the problem with you, Steven? I thought you would have understood me.

Steven: I was never on your side, June. I will always be loyal to Ra, and that's final.

Ra: June, you are hereby banished from the Golden City and are never to return.

June: Be like that then. I don't need you! I don't need anyone!

June stormed out of the Pyramid in a fit of rage and on her way to the Dark Pyramid, she conjured some sand fighters and took them with her.

Cleo was left in the Grand Pyramid, with a feeling that her heart had been torn into pieces. Cleo didn't like to fight with family, and she knew that this one wasn't going to end well. When June left, her sobbing and wailing started to ring out throughout the whole pyramid. Iside comforted Cleo and she didn't push her away.

Iside: You'll get her back, Cleo. You'll get her back.

Anubi: All of us will

Cleo calmed down at Iside and Anubi's words, though you could still hear faint sobbing coming from the girl. Anubi placed a hand on her shoulder and she hugged him around his mid-section. Anubi helped her to stand up and hug, then Steven joined in the hug with them.

After discussing things over with Kay and trying with my kids, we came to an agreement that Cleo, Anubi and Steven will be allowed to stay in the guest bedrooms on the lower levels of our house before they could move in to their new house.

After getting a few of their things organised, Cleo started looking for a job.

Leo: What happened to your internet job?

Cleo: Crash and burned, so I'm looking for alternatives

Leo: Do you want me to get you a job at the museum? The supervisors seem to like me enough.

Cleo: Do you think so? That'd be great.

Leo: Sure thing

~ ~ ~

Through Leo's referral to the higher ups that he works with, he got me a job at the museum as a tour guide. Leo was a security worker at the museum, and often saw him when I was to help assist one of the other tour guides named Joanne. Joanne was a friendly women and took charge when leading people through the tour.

Joanne: Thanks for coming today, everyone. If there are any exhibits here that you found interesting or are fascinated by, please take a look around at your own leisure.

The group dispersed and it was just Joanne and I.

Joanne: Thanks for accompanying me today, Cleo. You seem to know your way around the place. Are you sure that you haven't been here before?

Cleo: Not in years. Last I was here, I had escaped a potential kidnapping.

Joanne: You don't appear to be traumatised by the event, what's the deal with that?

Cleo: It was more of an attacking than anything else. I'm glad that my father had let me take self-defence classes when I was younger.

'It's not a total lie'

Joanne: What's with the bracelet you're wearing? How can it fit that many stones?

Cleo: The bracelet's a family heirloom that my father gave me when I was seventeen, and the stones he gave to me a week later.

Joanne: You seem to know the security guard, Leo, very well. How do you two know each other?

Cleo: We bumped into each other on the street and near an alleyway, about . . . eighteen years ago

Joanne: how old were the both of you?

Cleo: I was seventeen and he was twelve-ish years old

'Why is she so nosy?'

I was contemplating the next few steps in my plan, when smoky suggested I attack my mother's home town, which happens to be on earth. I take a look through the spy glass and see that her home town happens to be where she is now.

'Don't try to flee from me, mother. I have some very special plans in mind for you'

Smoky: Let's pay your mother a visit . . . shall we?
