This one's going to be a one chapter arc, because I've gotten all my notes at once on Egypt. This is the Pyramid's Eye.
The first thing Meg noticed was a bobbing. She opened the door to a flood of water.
"DOCTOR!" The man ran into the room and cursed.
"What did you do?" Meg hit him
"I opened the door like you told me to, you bloody idiot!" The door wouldn't close now, and was filling up the TARDIS rapidly. The Doctor tried pulling levers, and flicking switches, but nothing seemed to be working. Meg sighed and pushed a bright yellow button by the door. Suddenly, all the water was pushed back out, and a little force field popped up on the door.
"How did you... why did you do that?" the Doctor spluttered. A human had just effectively worked the TARDIS.
"I studied with your wife for three years. She gave me some training once she found out I was with you. I didn't feel like drowning, so I stopped it" The Doctor rolled his eyes. Of course, it had to have been due to River.
"Fine. Where are we?" he said, skulking under the console again.
"Egypt. The reign of Ramses the Great." Meg said "Third pharaoh of the 19th Egyptian dynasty" The Doctor huffed.
"You are such a know-it-all!" He said, finally blowing his top. "I don't care who united Upper and Lower Egypt!"
"Actually, that was Namer, also known as Menes by the people of Lower Egypt-" Meg corrected. The Doctor ignored her, continuing on in his rant.
"And who cares when the Nile flooded?"
"The people did! It was predictable, so they could safely survive on the banks. They knew it flooded every year from July to October" The Doctor threw his hands into the air.
"I'm tired of you talking!" And with that, he kicked her through the portal straight into the middle of the Nile.
Akil sat by the river, resting after a long day of farming wheat and barley. He had to get back to it soon, but he wanted a quick rest before he got back to it. It was only days before the waters of the Nile flooded again, providing new silt for the crops. He sighed and got to his feet, when he saw it. A flash of bright blonde appeared from under the water. He gasped and peered closer into the water. A young girl was unconscious and floating down the river. He jumped into the Nile, fighting the strong current. He managed to grab her arm and drag her to shore. He checked her pulse and determined that she was alive, but just barely. Akil lifted her up and carried her back to his little hut.
Meg woke up with a start, choking on water. She tried to sit up when strong arms held her down.
"Don't move. You were almost drowned" She shot up with shock. There was a teenaged boy sitting in front of her. "I'm Akil. I saw you floating down the river"
"What river?" He gave her an odd look.
"The Nile, of course" She looked wide eyed. "Please, what is your name?" She thought quickly
"Um... they call me Jamila" He laughed
"How fitting."
"Thank you. For the compliment and for saving me" If he hadn't, she thought I'd be dead. Taken away to the north; right into the Mediterranean
"Anything for you, Jamila."
It was three days later, and Meg had really settled into this new life of hers. True, Akil was in the lower class, and she had to work while there, but she was really happy. She knew so much about the civilization already, so it wasn't too hard to blend in.
"Jamila, today is my day to work on the pharaoh's tomb" She sighed. He would come home so tired, and she couldn't do much to help. The stones must have been 2-3 tons each, but he was expected to get them there perfectly.
"Alright." She said, sighing. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"This work brings me closer to maat, darling" he kissed her on the cheek
"I know. I just wish that I could help." He smiled.
"You've designed Ramses's tomb! That was a lot of help. This geometry thing you taught us was amazing. I'm not even in your class anymore" She laughed
"Are you being self-conscious, dear? That's sweet. I'm not royalty, and I'm not wealthy. I'm just a good artisan. Only one class higher than you"
"Still a large difference" he said sadly. He was leaving the house when a flash went off brightly.
River appeared in a small little hut. She shook her head, certain that her vortex manipulator had been off. Meg should have been able to get to a much better place than this. She had been so furious when the Doctor had told her what he'd done. She came back, hoping desperately to find her student safe. She convinced herself that she couldn't be here and almost hit the manipulator again when there were suddenly arms wrapped around her.
"Professor Song!" River looked down and saw that her pupil really did live here.
"My lady" she said, curtsying slightly. Meg gave her a quizzical look. Akil stared at the two girls.
"Jamila, who is this?" Meg started.
"This is... my teacher" River came over to them.
"I'm sorry, but we must tell him the truth now, Isis" Akil's jaw dropped to the floor. Before his eyes, his beautiful Jamila grew wings and was transformed into robes and a crown with a thrown on it.
"What do you mean? Akil, are you alright?" she said, his astonished expression catching her eye
"You are the goddess Isis, Megan. And your friend here is Osiris, god of the underworld, your brother and husband"
"I know Egyptian mythology well enough, but I am not Isis, and this is clearly not-" she had gestured towards Akil, and when she looked, she was what he was wearing. His skin had turned green, and he carried a crook and flail.
"That's- that's Osiris. I was rescued by Osiris!" she turned back to River to be surprised with the woman wearing a tight leopard dress, and bearing a palm staff.
"And you're Seshat. I've lived with gods. I-" she fainted.
