to meet you ma'am. " she just smiled and nodded.

 

          They sat by the pool, it was an absolutely stunning place. Trees flickering in the gentle breeze, and a warm golden thin layer of the afternoon sunshine covering every corner of this exquisite estate in that winter day.

 

- "The small devil" Mr.Jeffry continued introducing his family. He put his son on his lap, kissed him on the cheek, the neck, and the forehead "is Kyser, my baby".

 

          That was one of Mr. Klein's uncounted ways to earn someone's trust. Every man has his price, and David has always had a weakness to people who put faith in him.
Introducing his family was exactly the most perfect method that worked on David.

 

- "David." The Klein's began the serious business talk. "I need your services to investigate a secret auction; it'll be taking place in Egypt." A secret auction! And in Egypt! What a hell of a start! "I'm interested in the DRAGON SHIELD, nothing else. It's one of the supposed lost works of Leonardo Da Vinci."
That doesn't sound strange from an art collector, but smuggling really does look highly dangerous to me.

 

          David's vivid thoughts almost spilled or speaking, were interrupted by Mrs.Inessa.

 

- "Mr.Hades. You can find here ..."
She took the file which was on the table and gave it to him explaining
- " ...the ownership documents, and a photograph of the original DRAGON SHIELD. That rare masterpiece belongs to my family..." just who the hell are you people? "... It was stolen decades ago and never been found until those auction rumors."

 

          Relieved after taking a look at the papers in his hands, David asked

 

- "Any idea about the actual owner?"
- "Just the name Ilen, nothing more." Mr. Klein answered. "A meeting is already arranged with him... once you've arrived in Giza, a team of professionals is therefore at your disposal, and you'll have access to whatever you need... Have you any other questions David? "

 

- "No." Shaking his head. "... In fact, I do. The deadline?"
- "Few days, meeting Ilen will be your ticket to the auction."

 

          Finally, Mr.Klein fired his last gunshot directly to David's heart.
- "I believe Mrs.Hades would like to go on a ten-days trip to the land of pharaohs."

 

Jullia!

 

she'll be delighted to hear that,perfect timing for our late honeymoon.Better late than never.

 

- "You've got a deal."

 

          That ability of gathering talented people around, and the unprecedented persuasiveness capability; were the unbeatable combination Mr.Klein had always used wisely to keep his high social standing, and his significant influence on the financial markets.

 

One week later...Tuesday 09/01/2001
MENA HOUSE HOTEL, Giza, Cairo, Egypt.

 

 




          In the historic house hotel that witnessed important meetings during WWII, the hotel Winston Churchill and General Montgomery were amongst its guests; the honeymooners were enjoying for the fifth day their breakfast served in a nice setting in front of the pyramids, they were telling jokes, laughing, touching hands, and deeply in love.

 

- "This garden suite with pyramid view feels like a dream, especially at night when the pyramids are lit." Jullia quietly spoke.
- "Hum." David agreed... "The pool and grounds are a diamond in the rough. The hotel is peaceful, and you can relax and breathe Tranquility."

 

          Jullia twitched, grabbed David's hand, then loosen her gripe.
He asked immediately with a fading concerned voice.
-" another contraction? The New Year's Eve dance was a bad idea. "

 

          She shook her happy smile, and put her mate's hand slowly on the nub of her pregnant belly.
- "It wasn't. Thanks to that dance, we're going to meet our daughter soon. "

 

          He just jumped from his chair when a tiny punch came from underneath of the white lace nightgown Jullia was wearing.
- "Wow... that was really something. "
- "Yeaaah..." nodding and laughing together.
- "Do you think she'll be a boxer? Maybe our baby is a boy after all."
- "No, no no no no no Dave, she's a very sweet girl. No boxing, but she can kick hard for sure. "
- "Ha ha ha ha ,Like mother like daughter. "

 

          That morning, Jullia was feeling tired, which was so natural and normal for an eight months pregnant woman. She preferred taking a morning nap on the comfortable bed instead of going out with her husband.

 

- "Who are you?"
She was made of pure soft light, perfect in every way.
Long black hair, golden eyes full of love and sparkling with joy.
She was wearing a long flowing gown that was white,
yet glowed with an iridescent life color that encompassed her.
- "Takara"
As she began to speak, the air around her seemed to move like heat waves rising.
The love and contentment that she emanated was so appealing.
She had her arm extended out toward me.
" I mean you no harm, dearest Nina."
She wasn't talking to me;
I could feel the tremendous love that the angel had for my baby,
as if she wished to hug her as she talked.
And she did
It was like I was just suspended in time for a moment,
trying to catch my breath, still in the same vibration as the Angel.
"I claim your blood"
I cried, I wanted more of it,
nothing seemed to be more important than being with that angel.
" go to the khan"

 

         As Jullia brought her conscious awareness back to what was happening, she could no longer see her. That wasn't about a vivid dream, IT WAS REAL.
The khan! The only khan she knew was Khan El Khalili.

 

          In the afternoon, after begging David with all her never-convincing talent. He asked their guide and driver Eldiis to take them for the third time to the heaven of shopaholics, but was wondering at the same time about his wife sudden urge. Women, you'll never understand them.

 

          They were waiting in front of the hotel entrance for their guide.
Jullia was wearing flat sandals, and a nice red gallibaya. It went perfectly with her creamy skin, and her short brown curly hair.

 

          David didn't waste time, his meeting with Ilen was that night at 10 pm, and the supposed auction was going to begin half an hour later. So, he was already in his blazer and loafers.

 

Eldiis' new red-metallic car showed up.

 

- "I don't like that craggy face." Jullia muttered to her husband, she was referring to the willowy man who was parking his Ford Excursion: Eldiis, their guide.
- "Since when? You've never had that kind of problem before. "
- " well, since now... I have that..strange..feeling. "
- "Babe, It's not late to cancel the tour."
- "No, I wanna go there."

 

          For about twenty-five minutes, which was the time needed to reach the souk from the hotel.
Jullia sitting on the backseat with her husband became very nervous, worried, stressed, and afraid.

 

          Unpleasant waves of sizzling heat began to slowly crawl from her toes up to her face, heavyweight pressing against her chest; her breathing became more and more shallow. She leaned her head on David's shoulder, and closed her eyes.

 

          She wasn't the only person suffering in silence, their guide Eldiis was under an ocean of panic and coldness behind the steering wheel. He was trembling since his eyes met Jullia's today, something wasn't right about her. She wasn't the same, that's for sure.

 

          Her appealing in the most painful burning sensation took away all his strength and self control, that hole of bloody desires he felt in his chest became bigger and bigger. His true nature, the predator he was, was beginning to manifest through the darkened eyes hidden behind the lenses.

 

          The famous Khan-El-Khalili souk (the Arabic word for bazaar) saved everyone. That maze of streets and lanes where shops were amassed by all sorts of clothes, jewellery, toys, and spices. Saved our tourists from whatever was waiting for them, and their guide from exposing his saatnee nature to the human world.

 

          Jullia needed to be in the souk to look for whatever the Angel wanted her to find, and running away from their guide was as instinct of a prey trying to escape from the hunter. Therefore, she asked him to wait in his car for them; no one can get lost, the friendly local shopkeepers had been always happy to point the way.

 

          The afternoon... the sunset... dark...

 

          David wanted to know what Jullia desperately was looking for, but they were late, it was already 09 pm.
- "Babe, we need to go back."
- "yes, your job."
- "we'll be back tomorrow.. Why wouldn't you tell me about what you're looking for?...I can help."

 

          She looked up with her hazel almond-shaped eyes to her loving husband, she wanted to describe what happened to her with the Angel, but couldn't. She didn't want him to worry about her.
- "Something I saw in a beautiful dream "

 

           Someone grabbed her arm from behind; she turned her head to see an old lady looking to her in such a weird manner.
- "Come to my shop." the old lady asked in a very weak voice.

 

          That's the sign, it was exactly what Jullia was searching, and without any hesitation she asked her husband:
- "Honey please, can you wait here for few minutes, I'll be inside the shop."
- "Jullia!"
- "You can go, it's fine, I can take a taxi back to the hotel...Please go, the job that brought both of us here must be done. "
- "10 minutes, no more."

 

          The shopkeeper took her inside the interior shop where she faced her, and put her shaking fingertips on Jullia's face , then on her belly.
Finally, her weak voice came trembling.
- "You're daughter will be born tonight, she is the chosen ...Takara already made her choice"

 

Jullia in her astonishment garbed the lady shoulders, and shouted.
- "The Angel! ..."
- "You're hurting me child." She instantly took her hands off.

 

          The shopkeeper put her forefinger on Jullia's confused thin lips, and went on explaining.
- "She's not an Angel, but my ancestor... You're daughter is unique, protect her with your life and never doubt her ..."

 

          She paused for a while, as she was deeply thinking, then took the pendant around her neck, and put in Jullia's hands. She continued her explanation.
- "This is Takara's jet-stone, it's your daughter's now... It'll protect her against evil... Listen to me and don't ask questions."

 

          Jullia nodded showing her acceptance. Then the old lady put both hands on the pregnant woman chest and said.
"You are no more in the world you have been thinking you're living in; don't be afraid anymore, all my powers as a witch elder will belong to you...protect the Azvisalokya."

 

          She started chanting, and Jullia was suspended in what it was like a swirling mixture of pain and light. Nothing she could do, but hoping for her baby to be alright.
Few minutes passed, and David entered the interior shop. He froze when the chocking scene became clear before his eyes.

 

          A lightning-like power knocked him down unconscious.
When he opened his eyes, Jullia's face was smiling to him, and he was sitting on a chair beside the door of that old lady shop.
- "What happened, babe? Are you alright?"
- "Never better, you were sleeping... did you forget your job?... I'm sorry honey, you're late... Time passed quickly inside and..."

 

          He stopped her, glanced
