Ram (Raamiz) was sold to the pharaoh by his parents in a financial crisis. He was to be a labourer. In the arrival, a papyrus ball is tossed into a hallway and Sandra goes to retrieve it. She runs into Raamiz and introduces herself. He tells her his name, but she misunderstands it.
Ram had a hard time adjusting to his new life. He got himself into trouble, and punished by his superiors.
Their second meeting is about one and a half years later on the night of the fires. The city is attacked and set ablaze. Most are killed that night. Sandra lost her whole family.
Ram is wounded but managed to escape alive from an initial attack. He ran into the palace for a place to hide. This is where he meets up with Sandra and helps her escape. The go up the Nile to the next city.
"We walked for a really long time. At about mid-day we finally reached the city. It was scorched just like ours had been. We found a couple of survivors, and they helped us. We spent the next couple years basically just trying to survive. We went to the next few cities until we were able to find some place that didn’t want to use us as slaves. And we both learned each other’s languages. Eventually I figured out his name wasn’t Ramses. It took a while” She pauses. “It only took about fifty years before he finally told me. Anyway, I’m sure you have at least a couple questions for me. Oh, like how I’m not dead yet. Well, that’s actually more simple then not. We ended up getting into a fight in the middle of the night in a forest and a trickster decided that it needed to meddle. Pretty much it stopped time for us; we won’t age until we learn to appreciate each other. Apparently, we haven’t done that yet.”
