Chapter 11
Imsety's wish
The night had fallen since the pharaoh came back from his secret journey to the tomb of the millennium items. No one had notice him sneak out, and thus he sighed as he leaned and laid his head on the marble stone in his balcony of his bedroom chamber.
Her head was there and buried, no one would know, at least that's what he thought. His somber and sadness went on as he kept thinking of the goddess that came here and was killed here, for he felt as though her presence was still here. And now his whole kingdom doubts him and his strength of ruling. But he could care less of that. He just lost his loved one for all eternity.
"And so your death shall come forth to me," a roaring voice said.
The pharaoh gasped looking around; "Who's there!" he called out. "Show yourself!"
The voice snickered, "As you wish," and then out appeared a dark head of a jackal with white sinner eyes, it's skin the color of rolling flesh and soil, and it's body, the walking emblem of a human body, sat across the pharaoh on the ledge of a balcony holding a flail.
"No! You're…." The pharaoh suddenly bowed to his knees, "forgive my rudeness God Anubis."
Even though he bowed down to his knees, the pharaoh knew who this god was, the god and gatekeeper of the dead, coming forth of mummification duties, the pharaoh had a feeling his death would be taken place in a few moments, for the God Anubis' job was take away the souls of funerals and bring them with his fore founding father Osiris and watch over the dead.
"Your life is in somber because of this woman, this goddess." Anubis said. "What goddess is she and how is she not related to all of us, to not even relate to Ra himself?"
The pharaoh didn't answer him, for many reasons. One was because he didn't know how to explain where she really came from, the other was because he had no feeling to talk, even a powerful god who contributes and controls all of the dead and funerals.
"You don't answer?" Anubis spoke after a wander of silence, "You don't speak even to me, not even an excuse? I'm quit surprised."
"I have nothing to answer, oh mighty god Anubis, I am thoughtless of everything in me, and my stomach and heart feels empty with no air to come through and be alive, I deserve to take no excuse for an answer when I speak the truth." The Pharaoh admitted.
"So you wish to plunder and die because of her, is that it?" Anubis' voice growled.
"What Pharaoh are you to ever make such impulsive actions and feelings? She was probably a traitor!"
"Your wrong!" the pharaoh talked back still kneeling down on his knees, "She could have the power to destroy you if she wanted you!"
Anubis' jackal eyes cleared with whiteness was glared down at the Pharaoh, his eyes becoming smaller.
"You dare talk back to me! She died! And I am Immortal! I am youthful! Ageless! I am a God! How dare you say such things like her as a woman that could ever destroy me when she got destroyed herself! Her head you hacked off with your very hands of power to this Kingdom!" Anubis roared with anger and mistrust.
The pharaoh however didn't feel any emotion of fear or anger toward Anubis, he felt emotionless as ever and just thought about the beautiful Goddess he once touched and had.
"No back talking! No dishonor words! Fine then! From this day your life shall be cursed, you will suffer starvation, you and your kingdom and the dead shall walk on this earth and contaminate your people with plagues that I can only control, and all of their bodies will be the color of rotting flesh and stink like dead cattle! Thus everyone will suffer unless you die in replace of their normal lives." Anubis threatened and said.
The pharaoh still hold no emotion and all he could see was his love one shining in the night sky, he could careless of Anubis' curse.
"There won't be a curse to take place Anubis," the Pharaoh said, "I already made my choice."
The Pharaoh stood up from his bow and walked toward the edge of the balcony, there he put his feet on top of the ledge then stood up as he felt and breathed in the sandy perfumed night of his Kingdom. Then he edged over fore ward and fell.
The fall ended with a large thump as people came out from their homes and shelters, guards running towards the body, and all Anubis could do was be shocked by this action.
For once in a lifetime, this Pharaoh was not selfish like his fore founding fathers, he died not for himself, not like the rest, he died because he was a fool in love.
Everyone crowded their way around their king's corpse as they couldn't believe that he had died. One of them was a faintly ghost no one could see but the pharaoh as the last sight he saw before closing them. Her long wavy bronze hair that flowed like ripples in a stream flowed through her beautiful piercing red eyes. She was nude but beautiful, and she bended down putting her hand on his cheek stroking it for the very last time.
"You foolish man," she said, "One day you and I will be together again."
Then he closed his eyes and all was black.
The soul of a young and loyal Pharaoh had lasted for only a small time. There he had become more then a hero to his people. He became a tragic hero and when the preparations of his mummification took place, the funeral man that wore an Anubis mask tied him up with wraps. The god Anubis, unable to be seen by the three men helping the mummification of their young king, Anubis sat near by in a chair watching them wrap him slowly by side to side. The brain was finally removed so nothing lay inside of him but his soul.
"I have a wish," a voice said to Anubis.
Anubis turned his head as he saw the god Imsety in front of him. One of the four sons of Horus, his father is the reincarnation of all the Pharaohs, including the young Pharaoh himself.
"You? What do you want?" Anubis asked annoyed.
It was particular strange to see two gods upon meeting each other now and none of their people could see the, of course the gods could show themselves if they wish. Imsety had a human head for a God, but a body of a white drape over one foot. Though he seemed to walk without jumping with one foot, as Imsety's brothers can as well, since they all have one foot.
"I came for a request under my father's orders, and a wish that perhaps you can accept."
"What is it?" Anubis asked interested.
"I came to revive the soul of the Pharaoh's, not only that but the young foreign Goddess and the non existing Prince of Egypt." Imsety claimed.
"That woman!" Anubis was shocked, "But wait, what do you mean about this non existing Prince of Egypt?" Anubis asked but was annoyed, knowing that he was not going to like this.
"The Goddess that came from this place called Rome was with child of the Pharaoh's Éire of Egypt." Imsety explained casually.
"Impossible!" Anubis growled. He paused for awhile stressing, "What is your wish then?" Anubis asked.
Imsety smiled warmly, "For them to be reincarnated again and fulfill the prophecy. For when the Apocalypse comes, they are the true ones to stop it."
"The Apocalypse!?" Anubis yelled shocked and almost exhausted of it, "But why come to me?!"
"Because not only do you house the corpses but also the souls, sending them to Osiris himself. Give them to me and I will revive them to save this world from chaos. Isis, my protecter has seen the future and she sees darkness taken over but only can see the Pharaoh Atem and the foreign goddess wielding power to stop it. The Prince of Egypt must be reborn, for if he is not, his soul will be the cause of the apocalypse. And he will be a sickening soul contaminating and housing every body like a corpse."
Anubis thought for a moment, but as usual, he wanted his side of the bargain, his personality matched well with his ability as a God, and his rank of power as well.
"Very well, reincarnate the souls of the Foreign Goddess and the Pharaoh, but do not touch the soul of Prince of Egypt, let his soul rot in that human fetus of his."
"What!?" Imsety cried out, "I must reborn him as well! He is the link to the end of the world!"
"The World in which Egypt must control and take over. Kuk the god of Darkness will have a splendid time watching!" Anubis answered. "That is my bargain, and then you may reborn the Prince of Egypt as a child, but only if the Foreign Goddess gives birth to him, it will be her duty to have soul remain in her belly and be born as a mother to him.!"
Imsety gawked as he was shocked, but he had no choice, he knew Osiris would not care unless the soul was worth taking afar with. But Anubis was the gatekeeper of the Soul World, he had no choice but accept the bargain.
This was all for the pleasure of him and Kuk, but the world waited as the Kingdom came to the ceremony of their Pharaoh's death.
5,000 years later, the goddess, the pharaoh and the Prince of Egypt, all met again.
