The journey by land took 18 months, especially with the mass of people and livestock. By the time Isis was able to actually see her palace, most of it was complete. Bedchambers, courtyards, the main gardens. It was a palace that look very much like a sultans kingdom, while still bearing the appearance of many Ancient Egypt's grand palaces. A soldiers quarters was nearly complete and the royal stables were half way finished. Temporary pastures and housing had been built for the livestock and the numerous peoples. Isis first order of business was to create her royal seal, kingdom colors, as well as make sure that everything had been settled properly once the caravan had reached their destination. Isis then gave instructions as to how she wanted her gardens to be planted, as well as to begin planting the seasonal crops.
Isis chose an emerald green with a thick stripe of gold for her kingdom's colors. And her palace emblem and her royal seal was that of an Arabian galloping across the great sun, yet the sun's circle was made up of her intricate crown. The horse was a rich emerald green while the sun was the contrasting gold tone. While her father paid respects to the Ancient gods by setting his seal with their image, Isis wanted to put much emphasis on the mighty yet small horses that have been at the main forefront of New Egypt since it's very birth. As soon as the many animals and the numerous subjects had been well taken care of, Isis saw fit to finally have the master builders begin work on her thrown room, for the rest of the palace was mostly complete; the artisans were just finishing painting and embossing the final details in the eastern wing.
The new Queen dubbed her palace, Taweret, which means One who is great.
"Good morning my sweet." whispered Andreas as he brushed his fingertips across Isis' cheek. Isis opened her eyes to find her lover perched over her, watching her sleep.
"Good morning my love. What is the occasion?" Isis smirked as she beheld his naked form.
"No special event, just your lips against mine." murmured the Captain as he leaned down to press a full fiery kiss to her lips.
It had been nearly nine months since Isis and Andreas had had an opportunity to bed each other, the two would never have allowed it to be so long if they both hadn't been so busy with putting together the kingdom.
