Serpent Lake amar

pharaoh and the shabti have gone on their honeymoon! <3 @Toula @Midas @Medusa @Lilitu @Akhtar @Sokha @Khaba @Nala @Nazli

the leaves roundabout the outskirts of akashingo's land were changing.
and ramesses wished @Treva to see it. so they would depart for their honeymoon, and spend four days in the glittering oasis that lay southeast of the palace itself.
"delay your journey to mereo for a short while," he urged the crown prince. "ten days." his eyebrow arched; he was pharaoh. @Gucci would continue as advisor for the short while they would not be there.
it would not be a great retinue which traveled with the royal pair. only the priest, senmut, whom ramesses had seen fit to separate from makono, and sayf. a great parade would draw attention he did not want.
he bid his children farewell, and together they would set off upon their own trek.

"it is like the faiyum," he told to his queen. spires and ledges of red sandstone, flanked by desert trees, and in their shade sprang soft greenery and all shades of floral things. he plucked a yellow buttercup and offered it to her with a kiss, his lapis eyes shining with desire and love.
somewhere close and silent, the priest waited beside the waters.
