Amenhotep attacked. Ankhmute blocked.
Ankhmute attacked. Amenhotep blocked.
It was an even match. They raged silently in their battle until Amenhotep pushed Ankhmute backwards and she tripped. Her sword went flying in on direction and her body in another. Amenhotep's sword came down in a fury and Ankhmute rolled out of the way. The blade caught her arm and she let out a blood curdling scream.
Her eyes scanned for her sword and caught the shadow of a figure. The priest.
"Amenhotep!" He cried. Amenhotep paused from his attack and turned to face the priest. Another figured ducked into the shadows and pulled Ankhmute into the darkness of a separate room.
"Ankhmute," the voice called her by her name. She looked at the figure and caught Set's face.
"Set!" Ankhmute exclaimed in a controlled whisper. "Your father should not be out there! He will be killed!" Ankhmute protested with tears in her eyes. "You cannot risk the lost of the heir. If I had killed the pharaoh your father would be next in line for the throne. You would be pharaoh!"
"I cannot allow you to do any fighting! You cannot fight on your own. For once let us help."
"Set!" Ankhmute turned to leave the room. Set's hand grabbed her arm and Ankhmute let out a cry of pain and fell from her feet.
"Blood?" Set questioned her. Ankhmute let tears of pain and anguish fall down her cheeks. Set fell to his knees and sat next to the injured woman. She fell onto his chest for support. Her eyes fell back into her head for a moment.
"Ankhmute," Set whispered. "You can't go out there."
"I must!" Ankhmute said standing. She moved towards the wall and picked up a bow and arrow quiver. "I will shot an arrow into him, you and your father must keep him busy."
"Of course," Set nodded. He didn't agree to Ankhmute fighting while she was wounded. But shooting an arrow would be better than sword fighting.
Ankhmute moved through the door and pushed herself into the shadows. Set moved to grab a sword and fight the raged pharaoh. His eyes caught Ankhmute trying to pull the bow string back. Her face was stone still, but her eyes showed her pain.
Set went through the door and watched as the pharaoh fought his father. The priest was wounded and fighting hard to stay on his feet.
"Amenhotep!" Set yelled running to strike the pharaoh. Amenhotep turned his back on the priest and Ankhmute and raised his sword to strike. His sword carved through Set's stomach and an arrow lodged itself into his shoulder blade. Set and his father jumped forward and struck the pharaoh down.
Ankhmute walked forward using the bow as a support. She smiled and moved towards the bodies of her sister and half-brother. Her hand reached up and she touched each of their wounds and foreheads. All the while whispering a spell; 'Oh Ra of wind and fire, oh Thoth my forever father. Please bring out my true powers, heal these two with my strength.'
Thoth and Ra moved forward from the darkness.
"Daughter, you called upon our strength," Thoth smiled.
"Do you wish to use your remaining strength, my child?" Ra asked her kneeling. Thoth joined Ra and peered at his daughter.
"I wish to use my strength to heal all the people I can. Please."
"We can revive only three with what you have left," Thoth said.
"Then that is easy. Set, Ahmose, and Yamunedjed."
"You will die, daughter, are you sure?" Thoth asked. Ankhmute nodded her head. Ra's hand moved up and brushed a piece of her hair out of her green eyes.
"You are strong, my child. I shall make sure you and your love are reborn together."
"You are too kind, Ra." Ankhmute smiled.
"Your wish is done," Thoth said after whispering a spell. Ankhmute nodded.
"Your necklace," Ra fingered it, "will keep you alive long enough to allow your goodbyes. We would not dare take your life away with out those."
"You are pure of heart," Thoth smiled moving fore ward to kiss Ankhmute's forehead. Ankhmute closed her eyes and felt her father's lips brushed her brow. When she opened her eyes again Ahmose was in front of her.
"Ankhmute! You are alright?" Ahmose smiled happily.
"Ahmose, Yami," Ankhmute smiled. "I want to see Set. I will not last much longer." Ankhmute stood to her feet. Her hand fell over her shoulder and she realized it was bandaged. She looked around and caught the surroundings of her room.
"My room?" She questioned.
"Yes, you were unconscious on the floor. We feared you dead." Yami smiled hugging his step-sister. Ankhmute stood to her feet and pulled a cloak over her shoulders.
"Thank you Ra, Thoth. You've given me more time then I had hoped for."
She moved silently towards the study, guessing that was were Set would be. Her hands pushed the door open and surely enough Set was sitting next to his father getting a lesson. He moved to look at the cloaked figure and immediately noted who Ankhmute was.
"Love, you're awake," he stood. His father stood as well and moved out into the back door.
"Set, I am dying."
"What do you mean? You are on your feet again."
"I used the rest of my soul to buy you, Yami, and Ahmose back from the dead. Ra and my father, Thoth are giving me time to say good bye. I appear to be healthy, but I am not."
"You gave your soul for your loved ones?" Set asked surprised. Ankhmute nodded chocking on her own tears.
"I have to say good bye."
"Ankhmute," Set moved forward and caught her body as she collapsed in tears.
"I have to go," she whispered moving closer to him.
"I love you."
"I love you too!"
"I promise, Ankhmute that I will follow you to the next life. I will find you and finally we will have the joy we were meant to."
"I give up the last part of my soul for our daughter," Ankhmute whispered. Bat took her from my womb and is waiting for me to call for her.
"Our daughter?" Set questioned.
"She is for you, treat her well." Ankhmute whispered a silent good bye. Her eyes closed softly and she fell heavily into Set's arms dead.
