"There have been muggings, murders and kidnappings, the humans simply allow anyone they wish in, the borders have been lacking guards for days, and as hard as we work, we just do not have the man power to fight this."
He sighed and placed Amala down on the floor, she went over to her favorite teddy bear and hugged it, speaking in baby talk to it. Ramses sat down in a chair and motioned for Nessa to sit in the one across from him.
"When I came here, it was because I was following the woman I loved, I never expected to be pulled in to something like this. But now I am, and I am more determined than ever to bring this place back to the way it was. Because it too, has become my home. And there is no other place on earth that I'd wish to raise my daughter."

*Nessa sat down in the chair across him and listened to him. She knew the situation was serious.* "And I have bad news for you as well. Leetah is desperate. Her brother Haldir, is missing. He has been gone for days. Now Leetah has to take care of the army AND the hospital. And her health condition has weakened because of too much hard work. She is only a shadow of herself. She will die if she continues pressing herself to work so hard." ((Ramses or Eddie as a military leader in Lorien? Now that would be sweet! ))

((Both would be able to, they were both very capable military leaders in their time. Eddy went undefeated )) "She must slow down, doesn't Sebastian help her?" That slimy demon.

((Please feel free to send the one you want as a military leader to Leetah, and she will help him get the position. They could also share the position. The soldiers will listen more to Haldir's sister than to the human rulers.)) *Nessa shrugged.* "Well, he takes care of the house and the children while she works at the hospital and in the army."

((Well if they both go, then they will finally meet, Eddy finding out where his immortality went and Ramses giggling at Eddy because he knows his history.))
"Shouldn't that be the other way around?" He gave a small laugh before sighing "Nessa I have seen your healing powers, you must help her at the hospital. Their children are old enough to take care of themselves now, Sebastian must do something other than sit around while their kingdom falls apart."
He looked down at the ground, then over to Amala "I am doing what I can for the country, but it's simply not enough."

((Sounds like a great plot to me )) *Nessa smiled and looked up at him.* "I will do what I can, Ramses. I am fed up of being a palace servant anyway. It is not the same without Queen Tearbird. She was the best queen this country ever had." *She suddenly got an idea.* "Ramses, why don't you go and talk to Leetah? A man who has been the most successful pharao of all times MUST know how to lead an army. And I am sure Nightfall can look after Amala when we are working, if you ask her."

Ramses stared at her softly "What about my bookshop?"

*Nessa looked up at him and smiled.*
"Can't you get Beraht Cutter to look after it for you? You know how much he loves books. Get Leetah to talk to him about it. I think he is a momma's boy."

"I could," he said lowly, placing a hand on his chin. "I haven't lead an army in a long time Nessa, I'm not sure if I could do it anymore" I've become so dormant.

*Nessa came over too him and sat down on his lap. Easing her body closer to his, she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.*
"I am sure you can do anything you want to."
*She whispered between kisses.*

Ramses tried to ignore her kisses and looked down at his daughter who seemed to be giggling at them.
He sighed and held Nessa's head in his hands "Nessa, come now" he looked at her seriously "I was once a great pharaoh yes, but that was a long time before now. I'm a bookstore owner as well as a teacher with a young daughter, that is who I am now."

*Nessa looked down at him.* "But Ramses, what happened with "You must help us fight." ? Where is the brave tiger I saw in you the first time we met? Have you lost your stripes, Ramses?" ((By a tiger losing it's stripes she indirectly calls him a coward. ))

Ramses shook his head softly "It is not my courage that is in question here Nessa" he looked back to Amala who began playing with a small stuffed horse "there is more at stake now, then when you first met me my dear."

*Nessa looked at their daughter with a loving smile.*
"I know that, my dear. You can rest assured that I will take good care of her while you are gone. And if you get Nightfall to protect her.... You haven't seen Nightfall fight, Ramses. She is great. I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes a warrior one day."

"With her attitude she will" he wouldn't speak of the fact that she and her brother were born to be warriors. It was their destiny. That wasn't what this conversation was about.
"I will speak to Leetah soon."
