The Phantom Prince of Egypt
Chapter 12: Death of the Firstborn
That evening in the Hebrew village, Danny received a message from God about the final plague; the death of the firstborn children, which will kill every firstborn child of every family in Egypt whether they're rich or poor, human or ghost.
He gathered the Hebrews and said to them, "God has come to me again, saying, 'Take a lamb, and with its blood, mark the lintel and posts of every door. For tonight, I shall pass through the land of Egypt and smite all the firstborn. But when I see the blood upon your door, I will pass over you,..."
The Hebrews followed his order and sacrifice their lambs, drew the blood on the doors of all homes of the Hebrews using bunches of grass stalks as brushes. At one of the homes, Box Ghost looked at the dead lamb near his home after brushing its blood on his door. Then he went inside with the Lunch Lady and their daughter Box Lunch to prepare for the plague. Throughout the village, every single one of the Hebrew homes have their doors covered in lamb's blood.
Danny and Sam were staying at Jazz and Ghostwriter's home with blood on their door. Danny came over to the window and finished, "And the plague shall not enter." He closed the blinds and over to his siblings and wife, and waited for the plague to come and pass.
For a silent moment, the streets of the Hebrew village were quiet. No Hebrew was outside as they either slept or waited for the worst to come. Suddenly, a white vortex started forming in the sky,
and a white stream of light started heading towards Egypt; the Angel of Death had arrived.
First the light came over to the Hebrew village and streamed through the streets. The Hebrews saw the light and quickly shut their doors and windows as it flowed through Egypt.
In one of the homes in the Hebrew village, Nocturne and his children all held each other close as the light came up to their door. Upon seeing the blood on the door, the light left and and once it was gone, everyone sighed in relief; the eldest of the children, was spared, and Nocturne's family was safe.
In the city, the light flowed to one of the homes and after seeing no blood on their door, the light crept inside the home and went towards Aragon's oldest son, who was fast asleep with his parents and younger sibling, and the juvenile ghost dragon laid limp in the bed with his mouth agape; He became the first victim of the Angel of Death!
Another stream of light came towards a Hebrew home and, seeing the blood on the door, left the house, leaving the family inside safe. One of the streams of light came into an Egyptian family and a gasp was heard as it left and the candle in the upper room went out; another child had become another victim of the plague.
In one of the Hebrew homes, Box Lunch looked outside her window to see the light coming over towards her home. The Lunch lady came over and covered the window to keep her from seeing the light, which looked at their door and left, leaving the little girl spared from the plague.
At one of the Egyptian homes, a young Observant child was walking into his home with a vase when a stream of light came over and left. The boy gasped and collapsed to the floor, dropping the vase and it broke. He was never seen again, only his limp arm was sticking out of the door on the ground; Thus another victim was taken.
The streams of light came after sparing the Hebrews from losing their children. Over at the palace, Fright Knight and a skeleton soldier looked over and saw the light coming towards the palace. They ran off to hide as the light streamed inside and through the rest of the city. When the plague was complete, all the firstborns of Egypt was dead and the light swirled into the sky and disappeared. The citizens woke up and cried in sorrow upon finding their children dead. Their cries being heard throughout all Egypt, only the Hebrew children were spared.
In the palace, Dan was carrying someone in his arms to a stone bed that had moonlight glowing from the ceiling.
Danny came over and sadly watched as Dan placed his own son on the bed, who, like all the other Egyptian children, has become a victim of the Angel of Death. Dan covered his son's lifeless body with a white sheet, leaned over the bed, and started weeping over the loss of his son.
In anger and sorrow, Dan spoke to his adoptive without turning to face him, "You and your people... have my permission to go."
Danny felt horrible for Dan and placed his hand on his shoulder for comfort. But Dan moved away from him, hissing. "Leave me!"
Danny knew how hurt Dan was and left in sadness, leaving his adoptive brother to mourn in peace for his dead son. "I'm sorry, brother."
After Danny disappeared, Dan looked over at his brother and gave him a deadly, vengeful glare while everyone in Egypt cried over their dead children.
As he left the palace, Danny could hear the cries, feeling pity and grief for their suffering. He dropped his staff, leaned against the wall, and collapsed to the ground as he cried for the slain firstborns. Even though the Hebrews were now free, Danny still felt horrible for causing so much emotional pain for the Egyptians, including his own adoptive brother Dan.
