Is there anything that I might assist you with?" he asked as he knelt and placed his forehead on his father's knee in respect as he was taught many years ago.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/Props/Egyptian/Aahhotep.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><br/>"Yes, I sent for you so you could meet Pet-Ament, the messenger from the gods.

It would be worth a try anyways." Merit suggested as she took the last of the weeds she pulled to the compost pile. She then filled the watering can and began to water a few plants.<br/><br/>"Thank you for all of the help, Lady Arisa. With your help, I will have the best garden around." Sanura spoke warmly and with a smile.
