Aamina found herself at the gates of the afterlife, she walked up to the gate and found her parents standing their waiting on her dressed in gold and royal blue robes that seem to drape down at their feet making them look like Gods standing tall. She tried to go through to hug them but was met with a invisible wall. Her father began to speak. Hondo: "My child your are favorite by the Goddessses, fear not, stand strong you are the daughter of a Warrior, a Man of Honor, A King, do not coward, I don't have a lot of time, so I want you to know that I love you remember the Goddesses, you continue to pray and honor the goddesses no matter what you have to go through you understand me?" Aamina(crying): "I love you fa (father), I promise I will not forget!" Aamina watched her father fade away as she cried. Shondai(smiling): "My child his not gone why do you cry?" Aamina: "Because ma (mama), you guys could never hold me again!" Shondai(frowning): "That's not true my child we're holding you now, as we always did, don't you feel us inside of you right now?" At the moment Aamina could feel the warmth of her parents hugging her. Shondai: "See my child we will never leave, but you are going to have to stay strong and keep your promise to us, don't forget what we taught you, and don't forget we love you my child." Aamina was beating on the wall trying to get her parents to come back she screamed and yell to the top of lungs.
Tymon(slapping Aamina awake): "Hey wake up girl, we're home." Aamina: "This is not my home this is your home!" Tymon(stepping out of the carriage): "Well you better get use to being in my home cause this where you will be for the rest of your life child." Tymon(to the servants): "I want her ready in fifteen minutes she is to be a gift to my boy Myka." The servants nodded their heads in obedience, and guided Aamina towards the bathe house. Tymon made his way towards the family room in his grand castle, Where his son and wife was waiting on him. Myka(running towards his father): "Father how was your trip?" Tymon(hugging him): "Not bad, I have a surprise for you my son." Myka(acting excitied): "And what is that father." Tymon(yelling at the servants): "Is it not ready yet!" Tasha(with head bowed): "No my lord she is getting dressed." Myka(in a low tone): "She?" Tymon(turning to his son): "Yes, she is to be your wife, I don't want any outsider in my family." "And considering I just destroy her whole race I believe she would work well as one of your wives, the rest will be for our allies, but her I want all of your heirs to come from her." Myka's mother looked at him in disgust. She hated the power trip that her husband was on, but she knew better to questioned him. Tamar(choosing her words carefully): "Honey don't you think it's a little early for this type of thinking?" Tymon(with a smirk): "Pftt, please its never to early for baby talk, the boy will one day run the world, and so will his children, he better be thinking about it now!" Myka: "Don't worry dad I will cherish the gift you gave me." Tymon: "Oh no, son she's just a f**k toy, nothing more nothing less." "I only want you to marry her first so my grandchildren want be bastards, bastards get no respect you know that son!" "Taking your mother for example half Lolonyo half grey, if I hadn't taking her as my wife she would be nothing but a mutt," "That and the first wife holds value I don't want any of our partners to lay claim to anything I worked hard to obtain, plus once your done with her you can throw her away."
At that moment the servants came in leading Aamina close behind. Mizaya: "My lord, she is ready." The two servants moved out the way revealing Aamina wearing a white gown with bronze color trimmings, her hair was pulled back in a tight neat bun revealing the gold markings on her foredhead shaped as an half moon. Her feet was bare and toe nails painted in white. Myka was blew back by her beautiful skin color. Myka: "She's so dark." Tymon(nudging him forward): "That's because in her village they had nothing to protect them from the unforgiving sun, my child." "Do you not like?" Myka(breaking his gaze): "No father she's beautiful I'll take her." Tymon(with a smile): "Well go on, take her show her around get to know her and when the times come you to will mate. Myka walked over and held his hand out. Aamina stared at it for a minute, but took his hand reluctantly. Myka walked with her until they were out of the ear shot of his father. Myka(taking her hands): "I am so sorry about your people, I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to do, my father is a horrible person, and once I become King I will right his wrong some way." Aamina(taking by anger): "Oh yeah can you bring my ma(mother) and fa(father) back when you become King?" Myka lowered his head in shame. Aamina(scoffs): "I didn't think so, if you don't mind I would rather go to where I'll be sleeping so I can cry and grieve in peace." Myka looked up to a teary I Aamina, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. His father was taking over the world in his name after all. Myka couldn't help but to stare in Aamina eyes and found her tears was white. Myka(pointing in the direction if her room): "If you don't mind me asking what tribe are you from?" Aamina(wiping her tears): "I'm from Lolonyo, I'm the daughter of the Great Hondo and Shondai, may the Goddesses grant them into the lands of our ancestors." Myka watched as Aamina disappeared into her room. He couldn't help but peak in to find Aamina seating on her knees in only her underwear. Her back was turned , so he could only see her bare back. Her head was lifted up towards the sky with her hands open wide and arms spread apart as if she was receiving something. He heard her mumbles in between her sobs. He watched her in awwe, he didn't understand what she was doing because his people believed in nothing and never prayed. He decided that would be their secrets because in the Grey country you could be killed for praying to anybody but their King.
