Author´s note: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls… We are proud to introduce you to The Third SEASON OF PAPYRUS! (Cheers!) Thank you, thank you. Now, to explain a bit of the timeline, Sun Bird happened shortly before the final episodes of the second season an these happen after "L'arbre Ished" (the real finale of the second season), and it finished with Theti as pharaoh (Check that out), madly in love with Papyrus and Seth apparently beaten.
But remember, remember (the fifth of November) (Just kidding!) in Sun Bird, Papyrus promised to travel to Alcatraz´s country, the Court of Blood sworn to take off Aker´s head and our fisherman still has many things to discover (and a bet with Neko, the cat of the Upper Haven). So, we best be on our way! Enjoy!

1. Makings of a King
It wasn´t easy those days to live in that life. All the time hiding and telling lies but she did it for a good reason, all for her family and their future. Thebes was hot that day, too hot perhaps. The market swarmed with people as the temples celebrate the feast of Horus. Maybe it wasn´t such a good idea but she had to try, despite being too weak from giving birth. But he had the right to know.
The woman reached the temple and slowly walked through the crowd while the baby in her arms was asleep. Then she saw him. She was nearly there. The sun was getting too hot. Before she could make it, the woman felt unconscious on the ground. The people surrounded her while the baby was crying heavily. The pharaoh guards looked at her in suspicion. The monarch paid no attention but one of the priest did.
"She´s probably dying."
"No, she is not. She needs attention, that is all." The man kneeled near her and felt her pulse. She was still alive.
"And what about that baby? What do we do with it, Lord?"
"It is just a peasant´s child. If anyone wants it, fine. If not, the gods will tell."
"I beg you please let me see to this girl."
"What for?" Merenre was not pleased. "We have a ceremony to attend to."
"I shall not avoid my duties with the temple but I cannot leave her to die."
"Very well, but as soon as she is able to walk, she leaves. And she must not set a foot in palace."
"She won´t." Helped by the other priests, they gently took her to one of the cells and put the child on an improvised craddle. After the ceremony, the man stayed with her all day until she opened her eyes at sunset. "Ra must be blessed, for you are still with us. And so does the baby."
"I agree. I wanted to see you but..."
"Hush, you are still too weak. You should have stayed in the village." He refreshed her forehead with a wet cloth.
"There was no other way. You would have never seen him otherwise." The woman pointed at the sleeping baby. "I thought you had the right to see it." He slowly rose and glanced at the little man. His face full of peace and joy in his dreams. The priest did not held back his tears. "He says he looks like you."
"Hush my love now don't you cry
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hope
I showed you
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all
Oh my love…in my arms tight
Every day you give me life
As I drift off to your world
Will rest in peaceful sleep
I know there's one thing that
you showed me
That you showed me
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all"
"He looks more like you, my dear." The man sat back near her. "I should have been there. To help you with..."
"Is all right. You are a very busy man."
"I don´t care if it is for you. Have you think in a name?"
"Yes. Is..." The woman whispered it in his ear.
"The one of a king." Someone knocked the door. It was one of the priests.
"Pharaoh has demand that the woman leaves at dawn."
"Very well." He closed and gave out a long sigh. "For once in my life, I wish I had stayed in my home village. But, alas! I don´t want you to get hurt."
"I´ll be fine."
"I´m just... You should rest now. I will make sure that no guard comes for you."
"Thank you. I knew it was a good idea to come." She felt asleep and he kissed her forehead. Before the sun came out, the other priests had led her out of the city while he remained in his cell with tears in his eyes.
"Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.
You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.
And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?"
One small but very touching chapter to start.
I hope this one goes as well as Sun Bird, or better.
Cheers.
