Long ago, before the rising of the Mummy known as Imhotep, he was married and had kids, but then his eldest sister placed a curse on him that made him like the Imhotep we know today. The first installation of saga tells the story of his wife, the eldest daughter of Seti I and High Priestess of Isis, and her cousin, priestess of Ma'at.

1. Chapter One

Chapter One:

Sekmet sighed as she started getting herself ready to leave in the morning for the temple of Isis where she would remain for the next 6 months. She would be 14 in just a few weeks. She knew that she wanted to be a priestess of Isis since she was 7 years old, but her father, the Pharaoh Set I, agreed to let his eldest child go, only when she reached at least 13 years of age, and now, he was keeping up his end of the deal and was letting her go.

She crossed the room to walk out onto her balcony, smiling sadly, catching the sight of a mother running after her children. It took her back to her own mother, Tadinanefer, whom died in childbirth with her younger brother Phat, when she was 4 years old. She missed her a great deal, and she missed running to her when she wanted her mother. She loved her father, she really did, and she was very close to him, but she still wanted her mother sometimes.

But she did have her father, uncle, brothers, sister and cousin, so she had plenty of family around her. She had grown attached to her stepmother, Tuya, but then she died too, the year after Ramses was born, she had been ill for a long time, and she finally passed, it was heartbreaking for her to watch her father go through yet another death of a wife. With Tuya, she gained two half siblings, Nefertiri was born when she was 6 and Ramses when she was 9. Her father had remarried after the death of his first wife, just a year later, but he hadn't remarried since Tuya's death.

She turned back around hearing giggling and she discovered it was her 3, almost 4 year old half-brother, Ramses. "What are you doing?" She asked the child, who giggled again.

"Hiding." He said.

"Hiding from who?"

"Nefertiri."

She chuckled a bit. "And you want to stay in here."

He nodded. "Yes please."

She shook her head a bit, fondly. "Then you may."

He smiled, having the biggest grin on his face. "Thank you sister." He said, sitting down. It wasn't too long before a guard came to find him, and asked him what was going on.

"I'm hiding because the monster is going to get me." He said.

The guard looked utterly confused and looked at Sekmet, an eyebrow raised. The eldest princess smiled a bit. "Nefertiri." She mouthed and he nodded, before leaving again.

Her brother hung out with her until the guard came back a couple hours later. "Your father would like to see the both of you." He informed them, and Sekmet nodded.

"Okay, thank you, we're coming." She knew it was nearing suppertime too, as her brother had been with her a while. She stood and held out a hand to her youngest brother and he took it and they headed for the throne room.
