They rode a few blocks before her master said "You will be going to the palace to serve the Sultan." The woman gasped and said "The Sultan, he will never like me." Her companion said "He will love you, I just need to know your name so I can introduce you to him." The woman said "Cyra, my mother named me that cause of my fiery red hair," as she fingered her hair. The man said "I can see why." Then he sat back and looked strait ahead. Cyra looked at him curiously and then stared at the wonderful city whisking by them.
When they reached the palace she was pushed into a room full of women. The head woman said "You are to change before you are to meet the Sulatan. The clothing are laid out for you. If you need help just ask." Cyra nodded, took the cloths and went to change. When she came out she had on a long dress cut up to her waist, a low cut top with beads hanging down to her waist in the front. The women stung jewels, pearls and gems through her hair and on her wrist and neck. They finished with her just as a knock came on the door. The door opened and the man that had brought her here said "Cyra, the Sultan is ready to se you." Cyra put a hand to her stomach and said "I am coming." He led her down to the throne room but before he led her in he said "You have to get on your knees and bow your head, it is respectful to him." Cyra nodded and they went in.
A tall, athletic man with tan skin, muscular arms and legs, ear length, brown hair. He said "Is this Cyra?" The man pushed her to her knees and she did as he had said to do earlier. Cyra looked down and tried to still her nerves. The man got up and walked towards her. He looked her over and said "Answer me, is this Cyra?" The man said "Yes, Your Majesty." Cyra felt his hand slide hunder her chin and lift her face up to look at her face.
The sultan looked down at her and saw that she had an angelic face, white skin and long legs. She was all that a man would want in a woman. He saw blue eyes looking back at him. He said "She is very pretty, I will take her. You may leave." The man left and the sultan said "You are going to be my newest addition to my harem." She gasped and said "I will try to serve you as best as I can, YOur Majesty." The sultan said "Call me Jeric, but around others you must call me that around my officers and the other women." Cyra said "I will try to remember, Your Majesty." "Jeric said "Go to my room, wait for me." She bowed and walked out. The servant led her to his chambers to wait for him. He continued to talk to his advisors and generals.
(This is not the end. To see the start see my last journal entry.)
