Chapter 10: Hope Resurrected
The world around me was shrouded in haze; it was kind of gloomy but had an unearthly glow coming from above. The haze was a pale green, probably from the grass underfoot. The glow was a pale white and it was eerie. I desperately looked around me. To the south there was a wall or fence of sorts, it looked to be made out of the golden rays of the Great Ra, and on the other side were three people. I ran to them and their faces were revealed to me. It was the family I had lost. My mother was in one piece and as beautiful as the day she died. Her warm brown eyes sparkled brightly when she saw me. My father tall and strong, warm brow almost black eyes and my elder brother. My brother looked like he did before the daemon possessed him. A copy of Dad's build with Mom's delicate features. They were all smiling at me. Soon my brother spoke up.
"Aku' you were very brave. For now on Anubis will be sending his daemons to attack you. He wants the light of your soul. You shine brighter than normal people because you were touched by Ra. I also want to thank you for cutting down my body. It was keeping me in the in-between, where you are now. I love you dearly sister." Soon he handed to me his part of the family crest. In olden legends if the pieces of the crest were assembled correctly the holder would be able to vanquish any daemon with mere words. His was most of the outer ring and the start of the eye.
Our crest was in the shape of a ring. On the inside of the initial ring was the legendary Eye of Horus. The eye was only bestowed upon families proven to be loyal to the Gods. It was a great honor and status symbol. The only person above the families in possession of the eye was the Pharaoh. In all of recorded history only one family was ever bestowed the eye as a family crest. That family was the family of Hebat, my ancestors.
Mom began to speak after, "Aku', honey, for now one you must be brave, strong and courageous. The girl you adopted is a fallen angel of Ra. She is too young to have made the decision to jump so she was probably pushed out of the gates by another. Defend her with all your might and raise her as your own." With this my mother handed me her part of the crest. Hers was the last part of the ring and the eye decoration.
I looked to my father who smiled down at me."My little heroine, remember everything that your brother and I taught you about combat. Infuse it with the techniques you have learned from the natural world. I love you dearly."
With this he handed me his part and another. There were five pieces to our crest. The fifth hung around my neck on a rope woven from cattails. His was a major part of eye. The other was the last part of the eye outline. Mine was the key to the power, the center of the eye. It was by far the smallest piece but the most important. Soon the mist floated up and once again concealed the fence.
Soon I could feel that I was not alone and I was confronted by Anubis himself."I despise you girl. You're light gives people hope for life. Eventually you will fall and go out as all light does. When you do I shall consume you and become the ultimate god. I will have the strength to challenge and defeat Ra." The Jackal-headed an soon began to cackle evilly and I stood firm. I was going to show him that I wasn't afraid of him or his daemons.
"Try as you might Anubis the darkness always flees from the light. Your daemons will cower and shake at the great one's name. When one light goes out, another replaces it. You most of all should know that since you have desired to be the ultimate god for millennias now. Never in this millennia will I fear you or your daemons." I retorted standing to my full height. My body began to glow as if I was Ra himself.
Soon either I began to grow or Anubis began to shrink and I was left glaring down at a trembling jackal. I felt my body be infused with a strange and fiery power that left my fingers and toes tingling.
What the hell is going on? What is this I feel like I'm on fire, literally. I can feel confidence flowing through my body as if Ra himself came down and filled me. Once again I have to ask, what is going on?
It soon ran off and I collapsed. I felt completely drained of any energy and I felt feverish. It felt as if ice had entered my body and into my consciousness. My vision went hazy, I could see black around the rim, and I tightened my grip on my crest pieces. Soon a glowing apparition came running towards me and lifted me into its arms. I could barely hear as it was. I thought I heard it call my name but I couldn't be certain. I fell what seemed unconscious.
I felt and tasted a cool bitter fluid being forced into my mouth. I tried to sputter it out but a hand clamped tightly down over my mouth. It forced me to swallow and my vision cleared some. Another cup was raised to my lips and I was forced to drink thick, sweet goo. After it was down I coughed and I was given plain cool water and I gulped it down. When I looked around my all I could see were white, fuzzy walls and the face of Isis, Thoth and Ra. I went to ask them why I was here and what was happening.
Ra answered before I could even ask. "Aku' your human body has been poisoned by daemon blood. That surge of energy you felt came from Basset in order to scare Anubis off. You were in the no-man's land of the living and the dead. Right now you are in my palace until your body is strong enough to support your soul. The fever came through to your soul after Basset left you. Hathor is using the purest kind of energy to fuel your body; love. You have many companions on earth that love you dearly and the Priest Mahado remembers how he found you after the daemon's first attack." He placed a hand on my forehead, "This is beyond fantastic. Your human body is accepting the antidote and it's breaking the fever quickly. Rest now Aku' Daemonslayer, when you awake you shall be back in your body and your crest will be solved for you."
I nodded and fell into a light sleep. I was still confused but at least I was getting better and many of the Gods were watching over me. I smiled in my sleep. I was content, I got to say good-bye to my old family, found out why I was being attacked so often and will have the long lost family crest. I couldn't wait to be back at home with Mahado and Marana. I miss them both dearly. I wonder how Mahado is holding up. Soon darkness completely over took me and I rested peacefully.
Yuni: Oh my Ra hikari has already passed out and its not even ten. well everyone please review cuz it keeps her going.
