Phoebe walked into the kitchen. It was feeding time for Chris again, and she had to warm up his bottle. She got the bottle and put it in the microwave. She and Paige had decided that Piper needed some help taking care of the boys, so they both took one day off to baby-sit so Piper could do something else.
And since things had been going downhill with P3 since Piper hadn't taken care of things personally, 'something else' meant Piper went to work. As the bottle was finished and she grabbed it, Chris began to cry and Phoebe had a premonition.
A woman stood before Wyatt and Chris in the living room, and hit Wyatt with what looked like a powerful gust of air. Wyatt stopped moving, blood coming out of his mouth and nose. The woman emitted soul piercing sorrow, but there was also a powerful hatred in the air.
Phoebe dropped the bottle and ran to the living room. " WYATT, DANGER!!!" When she got to the living room she heard a rattling sound and saw a womam standing before the boys, who were both protected by Wyatt's bubble. Phoebe looked at the woman.
She was wearing a beautiful full-body corset in gold and red, a short skirt in the same colours and golden sandals. She had a beautiful, golden headdress portraying a sun between two horns. Her Egyptian like make-up made her look like an Ancient Egyptian Princess.
"Get away from there!" The woman turned around and looked at Phoebe. "I am sorry, I can not. My name is Hathor, Eye and Daughter of the Great One, though the task my father has set upon me is despicable I must complete it. This child…must die…"
Suddenly Leo and Piper orbed in, followed immediately by Paige. "Leave, Hathor!" Piper, Phoebe and Paige both looked at Leo, surprised he knew the woman's name. Hathor looked at him calmly.
"I will leave now, but I shall return. The Eyes of Ra are set, and shall not be averted before Wyatt Halliwel is no more." With those words as a parting shot, seemed to beome air itself and disappear.
"You know who that was?" "The Eyes of Ra?" "What's going on?" All three sisters began speaking at the same time, and Leo put his hands up. Just before he was about to speak, another person orbed into the room.
"Appylus? What are you doing here?" "I am here to clarify things…" "Like why Ra wants to kill my son?" "We do not know why. We only saw the attacks on Piper and Paige, but when Bastet and Tefnut both mentioned the entire family we expected them to attack Phoebe and the children as well."
"Is that why I got my powers back? To defend myself?" "We did not give you back your powers, nor could we. Someone else has summonded the Tribunal, and has convinced them to restore your powers."
"Now just wait a minute! Who the hell were those women that as I understand targeted my entire family, who the hell is Ra, and why do they want to kill Wyatt?"
Leo and Appylus looked at each other, then Leo started to speak. "The women who attacked us were Bastet, Hathor and Tefnut. Together with Ma'at they are the Eyes of Ra, his personal army to help him defend his magical city, Heliopolis."
"Ra is a God. When the Elders captured and imprisoned all the Gods walking the Earth they let Ra and his four daughters go, because they sought neither power nor dominance over the Earth. It wasn't in their nature, they're neither Good nor Evil, and Ra's only desire is to protect his city."
Suddenly Paige spoke up. " Four daughters? Only three attacked…so where's the fourth?" "Ma'at is the Goddess of Truth, Justice and Cosmic Order. We believe she has spoken against Ra's order to kill Wyatt and he has imprisoned her."
"But why would Ra want to kill Wyatt? You guys say he isn't evil, but he is trying to kill my son!" " He hates him…," Phoebe mumbled, and everyone in the room looked at her. " I felt it. Ra hates Wyatt, just don't ask me why. And the Eyes don't want to kill him, but they feel like they have to. They emit this resigned sorrow. At least Hathor did."
Paige and Piper agreed the Eyes had seemed resigned, but determined to fulfill their mission. "Maybe Ma'at knows why Ra wants to kill Wyatt," Leo suddenly offered. "I'll try to find her." Saying that, he orbed out.
"Maybe…maybe it was Ma'at trying to warn me. Could she have been doing that through Chris?" Appylus thought for a moment. "Ma'at carries the Feather of Truth, which she used to help sentence the dead. Ra would probably keep an eye on her, to keep her from warning you. But she could do it through the Feather…in which case her message indeed would come from the most innocent soul."
Suddenly Appylus looked up, and nodded at the girls before orbing out. "So, what do we do now?"

By the way, the title is the exact translation of 'Hathor' (or so the site I read it on says)
