Lion Head Mesa The ballads of life

Everywhere, through the entire red palace, the word of new life had spread like a great fire, burning the ears of all who heard, bring joy, pride, and hope. Tadihor had emerged from her chamber this morning, first to watch the sunrise over the wide horizon, then, to bathe, to freshen up before she mingles within the royal palace.

Fresh from the bath, and decorated with desert flora behind her ears, she traversed the halls, asking a nearby Fellahin that she wished to see the princes and princesses. To lay her eyes upon the blessed children of Pharoah and Semer-wati.
