Ancient Egypt: On the Nile

"Your right," said Yuma.

Zaira smiled.

Yuma smiled back.

"Maybe we should clean this place up." Zafira suggested.

"Good idea," said Yuma.

Zafira went to borrow a broom from someone. She started to sweep the dirt off the floor.

Yuma got some cobwebremovers and started to clear them off.

When Zafira had finished she smiled.

Yuma sensed something in the distance. An army? Something? She couldn't be sure.

Zafira noticed Yuma's expression. "What's wrong?" she asked concerned.

"There's something out there," she said almsot distracted.

Zafira walked over to the door and looked out. She didn't see anyhing but she knew Yuma was right.

"We better go somewhere besides here now," said Yuma as she darted at the door in a run.

Zafira nodded and ran after yuma. She had no clue where they were headed or why.

"I know that was the Babylonian army. Their headed toward the Egyptians," said Yuma breathlessly.

Zafira blanched. "Dumi!" she said.

"We have to warn them!" she said.

(Um...We're already flanking THEM, chill...I have scouts out there...)

While moving along the hillside, in the cover of darkness, Naqadar saw much movement in the canyon below. Could it be the Babylonians? Why would they be dumb enough to take low ground? It was them, Naqadar saw thier army leader, Impiri. Naqadar immeadiatly stopped the troops.

"Archers ready." He whispered and motioned down the line, all the while pointing down in the canyon.

The archers soon realized what was going on and readied their bows...They drew them back.

Naqadar yelled, "FIRE!!!" And motioned downward with his sword.

They fired, it seemed like hundreds of soldiers fell.

"TWO GROUPS! ONE WITH ME ONE WITH THE NORTHERN GENERAL!" He yelled.

"BLOCK THOSE TWO POINTS, THEY'RE THE ENTRANCE POINTS TO THE TOP OF THE CANYON."

"Archers! Continue to fire!"

The troops swarmed the points, creating a chokepoint. With the archers picking off the troops at the bottom of the canyon, the battle was over in about a half an hour with minimal losses to the Egyptians.

All that was left of the Babyolonian army was Impiri...

Yuma made it to the edge of the battlescene and gasped at the many dead scattered about.

Zafira arrived just after. Her eyes widened. "Whoa, they were definately not expecting it." she commented. She ran up to one of the entrance points and looked for Dumi. She didn't see him.
