I DO NOT OWN EITHER HARRY POTTER OR MUMMY.
The Curse
THEBES – 1290 BC
Gazing out over the glorious Egyptian city from the balcony of the palace in the setting sun was a bald man with wick dark eyes; these eyes belonged to Imhotep, who was the High Priest of Osiris, Keeper of the Dead.
Imhotep was waiting for Anch-su-namun who also lived in the palace. She is the mistress of the pharaoh and no other man was allowed to touch her. Anck-su-namun is a gorgeous, olive-skinned women, she looked as if she was wearing a skin-tight dress however she is in fact not wearing any piece of clothing on her body, instead her naked body was painted in various Egyptian patterns – it was stunning.
An affair was occurring between Anck-su-namun and Imhotep as they believed they loved each other. Both betraying the Pharaoh.
As she made her way through the palace towards her private quarters where Imhotep was waiting, she came across a group of hideous bald man who stood protectively outside the door of her rooms; these men were High Priest's Imhotep's followers. As she walked closer to them they opened the large stone doors of her quarters and followed her inside. They watched as Anck-su-namun made her way through the curtains toward were Imhotep was waiting.
Anck-su-namun embraced her lover Imhotep and kissed him passionately, feverishly Imhotep's hands roamed over her prefect body lovingly, smearing the paint on her body.
What the two lovers didn't notice was that their adultery was being witnessed by two friends.
While Imhotep was embracing Anck-su-namun his priest were in the middle of blocking the entrance when the doors burst open and a man wearing cloth of gold and pure white , he had a blue and gold headdress on which was covered with finery – it was the Pharaoh!
The Pharaoh strode to the priest and demanded "What are you doing here?" he was bewildered.
The priest backed away timidly startled at the Pharaohs unexpected arrival.
Realising he was unable to get answers from the hideous men, strode through the curtain to request answers from his mistress Anck-su-namun.
There in the middle of her quarters was Anck-su-namun, who was smiling seductively seemingly waiting for his arrival. Anck-su-namun was calming her heart desperately hoping he does not realise what has happened earlier that very night where he is standing previously.
When Pharaoh smiled warmly at her she felt her fears are put to rest…
Suddenly the Pharaoh froze his gaze locked on Anck-su-namuns arm, following his gaze she saw smeared paint. Horrified she turned to the Pharaoh fearfully.
"Who touched you?" He demanded sharply.
From behind, his sword was ripped from his scabbard. The Pharaoh spun around. It was Imhotep. The Pharaoh questioned, "Imhotep… My priest?" appalled at the betrayal.
"Ah – " horrendous pain rippled from his back causing him to glance over his shoulder and see the cause… it was Anck-su-namun, she had stabbed him in the back with her dagger. Unknown to the Pharaoh Imhotep was lifting his sword.
Through the curtains the bald priests watched as the shadows of their Master and Anck-su-namun repeatedly stabbed the Pharaoh. The unknown watchers were overwhelmed with grief at the unthinkable actions of the High Priest and the Pharaohs Mistress, shouted for help!
WHAM! The doors were rammed!
WHAM! The lovers desperately reached for each other as Imhotep's priests pulled them apart to flee!
WHAM! "The Pharaohs bodyguards!" they shouted, trying to get their master see the reason for escape.
"You must go! Save yourself! Only you can resurrect me." Anck-su-namun cried to Imhotep as she snatched the Pharaohs sword from him.
The High Priest faced filled with despair. The door exploded open. Men with blue-tinted skin and puzzle tattoo's over their bodies emerged from the debris. These men were the Medjai, who had to duty of guarding the Pharaoh.
They came across the Pharaohs body lying in a pool of blood on the floor with Anck-su-namun standing over him with a sword in her hand.
She saw that she had they attention before pointed at the Pharaoh and hissed "My body is no longer his temple." With that said she plunged the blood covered sword into her body hitting her heart.
On the balcony, Imhotep witnessed his lover last moments and let out a silent scream in despair.
Few days later after Anck-su-namun's body was mummified Imhotep stole her body and in the middle of the night travelled with his priests to Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead to revive his love.
With him and the body on the platform his priests surrounding them Imhotep began to read from the Book of the Dead willing to risk the wrath of the gods to for fill his task.
However before the ritual was complete the Medjai attacked and captured Imhotep and his followers preventing Anck-su-namuns revival.
Inside a torch-lit chamber Imhotep was forced to watch as his priests were condemned to be mummified alive. Being held by the Anubis-headed embalmers he witnessed the gruesome punishment he cringed as the embalmers used knives, needles and treads to perform their ghastly surgery, his priest screaming the hole time.
Once this was complete Imhotep's punishment began.
On the orders of the new Queen and her advisor Imhotep was condemned to endure the Hom-Dai. The worst of all ancient curses. One so horrible, it had never before been bestowed on anyone.
He was cursed for all eternity.
High Priests location was guarded jealously by the Medjai.
As they would never allow him to be released. For if he would ever arise, a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh-eater with the strength of ages and power invincibility bringing the apocalypse.
