The raw power receded from her gaze and left the young Princess terrified, quaking and glistening with a sweat no summer had ever brought upon her.
This was the first time she had made use of the theoretical knowledge, the first time she employed such powers not in the service of the gods. It was exactly as the scrolls had mentioned... and nothing like it.
Nothing written and read, nothing spoken and heard could ever have prepared her for what it felt like to unlock such power, to have it flowing through her. It felt like evolution; like absolution, like rising above condemnation and judgement and her own mortal form. Even all her years of study could not have prepared her for such a feeling- and she knew, innately as she knew now the turn of the stars and her own destiny amongst them that none of those who had taught her such magicks had ever experienced it as she was.
Then again, none of her tutors were the living Isis, daughter of the gods.
Chest heaving, she rested her weight on the palms of her hands behind her and took long, deep breathes. It would be an odd sight to any who knew her, to see the typically cool and aloof princess so wrought out but at present she couldn’t care if the entire harem marched in to mock her.
For the first time in eternity... she knew herself.
Sapped of energy, she couldn’t even muster up the will to flinch when she noticed the buzzing.
