Introduction
A love story, where the author weaves her readers back and forth along her personal path into two separate lifetimes, uncovering the wonders, dramas, heartaches and tragedies experienced as two different identities. Yet, similar characteristics begin to unfold as onlookers are enticed to follow the steps of the present-day character, Diane, along her magical journey of ‘Self-Discovery’.
Where here she questions, why? Why was her life the way it was? Why did she act the way she did? Why was she being sent unexplained messages from unexplained sources, indicating there was something more to her life than just existing? What was her life here in the twentieth century trying to tell her?
Questions, so clearly to be answered, once she had experienced the wondrous event of her AWAKENING, Diane discovered the unveiling truth about her PAST LIFE amidst the splendorous, eighteenth dynasty empire of Ancient Egypt’s capital of Thebes.
Chapter 1
Ra’s golden rays of light beamed warmly onto Tiya and Adonas’ young bodies, creating tiny droplets of moisture, which glistened upon their bronze skin. The heat of the noon sun heightened the myrrh and frankincense aromas which wafted across the deck of the cedarwood vessel – the sweet incense sent to please the Nile God, Hapi.
With their arms wrapped around each other’s waist, the lovers caressed, while the elaborate boat meandered up the God’s lengthy river, where calmly it parted his wealthy waters, soothingly splashing against the craft’s belly as it wondrously wended a path up into the unknown.
On the grassy, rich-soiled bank, a virginal white Ibis spread her wings wide. She raised her elegant beauty into flight and rose up into the azure blue heavens, where noisily she squawked down over the melodious voices, deep in soulful song. Eight ebony-skinned Nubians sat cross-legged on the deck, with their naked torsos swaying back and forth in rhythm to the swishing of the Nile.
Mesmerised by their haunting voices, the lovers stood entwined, while they both looked out over the blissfully serene waters, innocently oblivious to the Helmsman who controlled the oar, his hands firmly fixed upon the tiller. He was aptly guiding them towards their destiny.
They were abruptly awakened by the sail frustratingly flapping, which was stirred on by a sudden gust of wind. The handsome couple awoke to their desire and no longer cared to deny themselves of each other’s bodies any longer. With her blue eyes sparkling, Tiya willingly welcomed her athletic Adonas’ outstretched hand, while he parted the flowing silk drapes to the secluded cubicle beside them. Bravely, her heart raced as she allowed him to usher her into its veiled seductiveness where, in one corner, Hapi’s figurine sat, flanked with baskets of fruit – the gifts to celebrate this momentous day.
A shiver of anticipation tingled down her spine as Adonas eagerly clasped his strong hands over hers and swung her around to face him – for he yearned to drift into her vibrant eyes and he yearned to tenderly whisper into her curious ear, his mounting lust for her, his undying love for her. Keen to speak, he released his hands and raised them to Tiya’s bare shoulders, where he commanded her to attentively listen to his heartfelt vow.
“My Artemis, Goddess of the Moon. Goddess of the Hunt, you truly are. You have captured my heart and torn it from my breast. You have stolen my soul and have consumed my mind. And soon, you shall possess my flesh!” he declared, while a flash of mirth beamed across his sculptured features and his hands fell down to her slender, curved waistline. “Eternity sees me loving you completely, and I give you my body and soul, as I am yours, forever!” he confessed as lovingly he gazed into her enchanted eyes. He lifted his hands off her waist and untied two thin straps from his animal skin pouch which hung from a pleated belt wrapped around his leather kilt, where he divulged the pouch’s secretive contents.
Awestruck, the dark-haired beauty watched her lover gently raise her left hand and, ceremoniously, slip a delicate, gold ring on her finger. Misty-eyed, she gloated upon her extended hand, where her third finger was adorned with two bands of gold, bound together, which cradled turquoise gems, uniquely shaped into two sky-blue eyes.
“Oh, Adonas, how beautiful!” she endearingly cried, while admiring her sweetheart’s gift.
“Tiya, I want you to always remember this ring is a symbol of my desire for you. It symbolises my pledge of eternal devotion, and eternal love,” he said with a smile, as his pale-blue eyes twinkled. “You see, these are not merely gemstones,” he sighed as he grasped her parading hand. “These are my eyes to watch over you!”
Feeling ecstatically happy, Tiya threw herself into his opened arms and draped her love around his firm, bare chest, where she lavished his handsomeness with her fiery kisses. Her hot lips fuelled with longing. She gazed into Adonas’ eyes and responded to his vow in between her panting. “My Adonas,” she sighed, “you’re my breath, my blood and my reasons for living. I honour your precious gift and I vow to wear your token always, with immense pride.”
They embraced as their hearts wildly pumped in rhythm to the enchanted song the Nubians sang, with their melody telling of a tale of true love and heartache and loss. Time stood still within their draped world as their youthful bodies stood entwined, and the aromas from the heady incense began to intoxicate their senses, and their lust for each other finally overwhelmed them.
Dropping his yearning lips hard upon her pursed lips, Tiya’s eager response sent Adonas’ maleness into an aroused frenzy. He felt her firm breasts crush against his muscled chest, and her erect nipples pierce into him while they pleaded to be freed. Gallant to their beseeching demand, he masterfully unleashed the flimsy shift off her body and allowed the cotton to crumble to the matted floor. She stood fearless before him. Undraped, she tossed her mane of raven-black hair over her defiant shoulders, where she beckoned him easy access to her slender, arched throat. Accepting her tempting offer, he smothered her with his luscious kisses, where the sensations of pleasure tingled along her nakedness and stimulated her secret dome.
Encouraged by her whimpers of delight, Adonas ventured further – with his flamed lips roaming her sensitive breasts, he taunted her nipples and teased their sensitivity with his tongue. As her whimpers heightened into a moan, he thrust his heated lips down onto her gasping mouth where he ignited her onto the brink of no return. Fully aroused, he pulled her down onto the mountain of soft, silk cushions splayed across the cubicle floor, where amidst his ardent kisses she f
