Author's Note: Here is the newest story in this mega-series. I am up to chapter 9 now, so I'll be able to keep up this one-chapter-a-day thing for at least five more days. Probably longer.
Enjoy!
The Setting Sun
Legend of the Slayer, p4 of 100
by Philister
Fanfic written for TTH100
Theme: Slayers
Prompt: #012 - Sunlight
Crossover with Stargate
-----
The age of the great Sungod Ra began in darkness, when his flying chariot descended from the sky. One of the people was chosen as his host and the Sungod achieved new heights of power. Under his rule the people built the giant monuments known as the pyramids and achieved untold heights of civilization.
Yet Ra was a cruel god and under his rule the people suffered. The pyramids were built upon the blood of thousands who died under the whip. All those who spoke out against him were crushed.
Until the time a simple slave girl, whose name no one had ever bothered to remember, became the new chosen of Shadow and was transformed into the Slayer. And though Ra was not one of those the Slayer had been made to destroy, his evil rivalled that of any demon or devil.
Under the Slayer's leadership a great rebellion arose from among the rabble, those that Ra had believed crushed under his heel. And though it took the lives of many, the Sungod was finally toppled, the light of his sun snuffed beneath the Slayer's shadow.
Ra fled through his iron ring, the gateway to the stars. At the Slayer's command the stargate was buried, to make sure that he would never be able to return. And the people rejoiced, for they were free now.
The Slayer vanished into the night, her name forgotten by history. For there was always more evil to be destroyed.
