She finds herself walking through the market, passing a small flyover when she props her box of Oranges on the ledge infront of her, and finds herself wishing if she could be lucky enough to see Roy.
She's shortly dishearted at the unlikelyhood that they'll meet again, and in her daydreaming the box begins to slip from her fingers as some oranges spill over.
'THUD' "Ouch.." she hears from below.
"Sorry!" she yells down as more oranges fall below.
Picking them up, Roy lets a smile spread across his face as he looks up to Alexandria.
"You've never got out for the habit of throwing these around have you".
"Roy!"
He walks up to meet her, and once again befriends the little girl who saved his soul, he asks about her appearance in Hollywood but she dimisses queries about herself and demands to know fo Roy's life since she last saw him.
Amused he recalls to her his recent part in the action of a historical flicker, based in Alexandira...
"Reminded me of you of course".
He tells her the story
"It begins with the muslim leader Umar. He saw the beauty of Alexadria and was enchanted by it, its money and power fuelled his hunger to consume the land".
"He was an evil man?"
"Not as such, but he wanted more land under his rule, and wanted it by force, which is wrong".
"The Byzantine forces, sworn to protect Alexandria, and its beloved prietess fell to his mighty army".
" The prietess sent her most trusted messager to the commander Amr ibn Al-Asi".
"Did she love him?"
"Who? Al-Asi?"
"No! her trusted messager".
"Well thats who i was, at least i did his stunts".
"Then she did love him".
"Er, well..yes, as a preitess she was loved by everyone, but she was not allowed to love herself, a preitess must stay unmarried".
"How aweful!"
"She loved her messeger all the same".
"She warned Al-Asi of the suffering that would fall upon him and the world should he proceed to force himself into the walls of Alexandria which she had protected since her birth".
"He ignored her plea, and entered the city and forced her to follow a muslim state".
"However soon after, the curse began. Famine and suffering rippled throughout the land, as a evil wind purged through the city and to the surrounding lands without the caging of the walls".
"Returning the captive preistess he demanded she stop her powers, however she only replied, 'It was your wish to spread evil and steal the souls of my land? am i wrong? it seems you are in favour of our gods Commander, they grant your wish'".
"Terrified of the power that had befallen, and what it seemed the city once had the power of protecting, he fled the city, and the great Alexandria stood once again, returning to peace".
"Amazing, so the walls protect the people inside aswell as the world from the evil wind?"
" I think the moral was that by creating the invasion and taking over lands like an evil wind, Umar and the commander took more than they could handle, and there lands suffered because of it".
"So the people were free?"
"Thats the story".
"It sounds nice, i'd like to see it".
"I'll show it to you".
"No favours attached?"
"Yes, you have to promise not to throw oranges anymore".
"Ok".
"Reminded me of you of course".
