Free Ancient Guardians The Legacy of the Key by SL Morgan Page B

fluffy towels, “Use these to
dry, and right here,” She lifted the sleeve of a white matching bath robe,
hanging next to the grand bathtub on a free standing rack, “this is your robe.
Once you are done, exit to your left, and I will be waiting in the vanity room.
Is there anything else I can get for you?”
    Reece laughed, “I
think this will do. Thanks, Jasmeen.”
    Jasmeen gave Reece
a quick curtsey, and made her exit.
    Reece set her tea
next to a candle on the edge of the bathtub. She slipped out of her clothes and
relaxed into the warm water. The water was like silky fabric against her skin,
and any previous tension her body carried prior to slipping into it, was
rapidly leaving.
    Jasmine was correct
about the rejuvenating effects of the soaps. When she washed her face, her eyes
did not feel as tired as before, and she did not believe her skin had ever felt
softer in all her life. This is like a miracle bath or something. She
laughed inwardly.
    Now completely
refreshed, Reece sank back down into the tub, and closed her eyes. She had no
idea how long she sat liked this before she finally decided to step out. Once
she dried off her body, she twisted her hair up in a towel on top of her head,
slipped into the robe that was set out for her, and started out to where the
young maiden said she would be waiting.
    Upon her exit of
the bathroom, Reece turned left and followed the small hallway. It led her into
another brightly lit room, where the young maiden was waiting to attend her.
This room alone was the size of her apartment in Philadelphia. She stood in
amazement, staring at a tall mirror that nearly encompassed the entire wall
before her. A long, marble table stood in front of it, with an array of beauty supplies
laid out in an orderly fashion.
    Jasmeen
motioned for Reece to have a seat in a chair in front of the table. “Please,
have a seat. Let me get started on your hair.”
    Reece laughed. “Are
you kidding me? This is beyond every woman’s dream. This is a makeup room?”
    Jasmeen grinned and
nodded. “I suppose you could call it that. Now, please, come and sit.”
    Reece stared at the
young maiden with concern. “I really don’t need you to go through all of this
trouble to help me get ready. I’m sure you have better things to do?”
    The maiden smiled.
“Miss Bryant, I will hardly be putting myself out. I understand you are not
accustomed to having someone to attend you, but in time you will learn to
embrace it. Now, please, come and sit.”
      Reece did as the
young girl asked, and relaxed back into the chair. She watched as Jasmeen took
the towel from her hair and quickly ran a brush through it. She watched as each
stroke of the brush through her hair made it drier. Now that’s weird .
“Is that brush, like, a blow dryer, too?”
    Jasmeen continued
running the brush through Reece’s rapidly-drying hair, “A blow dryer? I am
unsure as to what that is?”
    Reece laughed, “Oh,
well, it’s what we use on Earth; it blows hot air into your hair and dries it.”
    Jasmeen grinned,
“And that is healthy for your hair? It’s not damaging to heat it in such a
way?”
    Reece’s lips
twisted, “Well, yeah, I guess it does damage it. So, that brush doesn’t conduct
heat in anyway or anything like that?”
    “No, there is an
energy force that is expelled through the fine bristles. It evaporates the
water with every stroke. I suppose you could say the energy works the same way
that heat would. It’s also the same energy we use for our illumination.” She
answered while continuing her long brush strokes through Reece’s now almost
completely dried hair.
    Reece reached up
and ran her fingers through her hair so she could study its transformation. She
stared in amazement, as she could not remember her hair ever looking so shiny
and healthy. I need to make sure I take that brush and the shampoo back to
Philadelphia when I leave. This is fabulous .
