The dream that assaulted Belinda that night was different from the previous strange swirl of colours she had had. This time there was no pre-empting or warning, nope, they went straight into a scene she had never in her life witnessed before.

At first the sun shone so brightly it had taken a few minutes for Belinda to see, but once she did, she was faced with one of the many wonders of the world.

The great pyramids of Giza filled the vista, along with the glistening Nile and greenery from the river’s side. Directly in front, though, stood a temple bright with colours and statues, people milled about dressed in what she assumed Egyptians wore. She had no idea really.

A procession approached and Belinda was transfixed at the wealth on show. A team of servants or slaves carried a platform on which was the most beautiful woman Belinda had ever seen.

Dressed in gold- no not dressed, more like coated in gold- she sat, chin held high, back straight on her mobile throne. One name races through Belinda’s head as her dream feet followed the procession.

Cleopatra!

This was the famous queen of Egypt, this was the woman that supposedly brought the Roman Empire to its knees for a short period of time.

Belinda snorted to herself as she kept pace with the procession. It felt strange to be witnessing all of the splendour and also know she was dreaming. But wasn't that the myth of Cleo? She seduced the Caeser, then cheated on him with his general and then when she got found out she killed herself rather than be put on trial. That’s what some of the history books had said. But, then again, who could trust those same history books. Most had been written by men and most would believe that Cleopatra had deserved her fate.

The whole situation had sounded completely fucked up to Belinda and if she was honest she had little sympathy for the queen. If she was going to sell her wares to more than one buyer then she should have been prepared for the consequences. But another part of her wanted to know the truth, the unblemished truth of a woman who showed power and strength, equalling that of any man.

The dream was so realistic that Belinda very nearly walked into someone and only dived to the side at the last minute. She felt for the slaves that had to carry the platform, she could see their muscles bulging under the strain. As Belinda managed to catch up, she stepped up onto a wall so she was at an equal height to the platform; it was only then she saw a familiar item.

No box could be seen, but the bottle that held Cupid’s Essence sat on a small cushion to the left of the queen. Its colours pulsed and swirled, the familiar pinks and purples called out to her and had her fingers clenching in a bid to touch it.

The procession stopped as local people started to assemble.
