The key of living
Prologue
Nile Valley, 3600 BCE
A huge crowd gathered in front of a big dark pyramid with a golden apex. They were bowing into the direction of a wide path. There was a man leading a group of people with masks to the entrance. In the middle many men carried a large stretcher-like thing. On top of that, there sat a man with a ceremonial robe and a half-bird-looking mask. On each side of him rode 2 people, also with ceremonial robes but different masks.
And behind them rode a beautiful princess in a white was very long and looked like stars. A part of her raven-black hair was braided, the rest floated like a waterfall over shoulders. Her hand laid over her rounded stomach. She was expecting a baby. Her gaze wandered off to the side straight to a group of guards. They nodded trying to not draw attention of any other present person.
They all knew that the baby could be a girl. And if it will be, the so called God will take the princess's daughter as his mate and future wife. The princess feared for her childs destiny and future. She didnt want for she, if it will be a girl, that she had no choice to choose a husband on her own.
In the middle of the dark pyramid was a big room with table-looking-like beds. On one laid a young egyptian man, the other was empty. When the so called God was near death in his present body, his four followers would search for someone, in which the Gods soul could be transferred in.
As everyone important rode or walked into the pyramid, the princess winced at a sudden pain in her stomach. The high priest, who would lead the ceremony of the transference came up to her as some guards helped her down the horse, and laid a hand on the round belly.
" سيدي، سوف يولد زوجتك في المستقبل في أي لحظة
(My lord, your future wife will be born at any moment.)", the high priest said looking to the God who laid down his mask and ceremonial robe,
"وإذا لم نتصرف على الفور، وشريك حياتك في المستقبل يموت!
(And if we don't act immediately, your future mate will die!)"
The God nodded and said with his dark voice:
"السماح للانتقال تبدأ!
(Let the transference begin!)"
One of his followers cut the egyptian man, which laid there, on the chest. The wound was immediately healing, within less seconds.
"الآن سوف يحكم إلى الأبد يا سيدي!
(Now you will rule forever, my lord!)"
The God laid down on the bed, when the high priest began the ceremony and a glowing went through the pyramid. Outside of the dark stony building, some men on each corner of it, pulled at ropes with were connected to a blanket-like-covering with a symbol on it.
When the covering slid down and the sun shone onto the golden top, it started glowing. The high priest and the four followers were chanting something.
Meanwhile in another room the princess was screaming like death. But then she stopped. The nurse held something in a white blanket.
"ما هذا؟
?(What is it?)", she asked the nurse.
"؟ ق فتاة سموكم
(Its a girl your highness)", the nurse said happily while looking at the baby, so she couldnt see that the princess frowned at these words.
"وكانت جميلة جدا.
(And she is very beautiful)", the nurse continued, " الرب أكون سعيدا أن يكون هذا رفيقة جميلة إلى جانبه. (The lord will be happy to have such a beautiful mate at his side.)"
The princess still shocked and not happy with the news that her daughter would be the mate of monster, looked helplessly to the guards, which nodded carefully before approaching the nurse.
One to grab the baby and one behind her. The guard which approached for the baby held out his hands and said:
" وسوف تتخذ لها وتقديم لها للرب، مما أتاح له يصلون على الانضمام مستقبلهم.
(I will take her and present her to the lord, giving him blessings on their joining futures.)"
When he said that and the baby was lying in his arms the guard which approached the nurse from behind she was stabbed from behind, with a hand over her mouth so she wouldnt alarm anyone with a scream. The guards turned to the princess whose vision and life started to fade away.
" سيدتي، لدينا للذهاب الآن، إذا كنا نريد أن نخرج من هنا على قيد الحياة!
(My lady, we have to go now, if we want to get out of here alive!)", the first one said.
" صاحب السمو؟
(Your highness?)", the other one asked feared.
" يترك.
(Leave.)", she said weakly.
" ماذا؟
(What?)", one of them asked.
"ترك ورعاية جيدة لها.
(Leave and take good care of her.)", she begged weakly, "أنا لا يمكن أن يعيش على.(I cannot live on.)"
"لكن سموكم، ابنتك بحاجة لك!
(But your highness, your daughter needs you!)"
"لا تنزعج تفهم ذلك؟
(Dont you understand it?) سأموت هنا. (I will die here.) أنا لست من المفترض أن يعيش على. (Im not supposed to live on.) انا ابدا لم اكن. (I never was.)"
She turned to her daughter.
"يجب أن تأخذ مكاني.
(You must take my place.) وسوف يكون مفخرة مصر صغيرتي. (You will be the pride of Egypt my little one.) سيكون اسمك التاريخ باعتباره مفتاح المعيشة. (Your name will be history as the key of living.)"
After she said the last word her vision went black and her breathing stopped.
" صاحب السمو؟
(Your highness?)", one guard whisper screamed.
" مهلا!
(Hey!) علينا الذهاب الان. (We have to go now!) يجب علينا حماية ابنتها في جميع التكاليف. (We must protect her daughter at all costs.)", the other said.
The first one nodded and followed his friend threw the pyramid, avoiding the middle, where the ceremony still took place. Before they could get out their gaze locked with two other guards standing there and watching the transference. The four nodded at each other before the two at the door. turned and shut the room close. Thats when the pyramid started to collapse.
