Many decades had passed since that day at the Red Sea. Even on his deathbed, the ninety-year-old Ramesses the Great could remember it. He remembered calling the name of the one he had called brother in anguish, the one his mother Tuya had made the mistake of pulling from the river, the Hebrew who had been raised a Prince of Egypt, the man named Moses.
By his bedside knelt his son Merneptah. The memory of all the sons who had predeceased him in his mind, Ramesses' old eyes looked upon his thirteenth son and held out a hand. Instinctively, Merneptah took it and stared back into the eyes of his paterfamilias.
In the aspect of his son's face, Ramesses could see himself, but in the form of the cranium and measurements of his face, it was his own father Seti that he saw. The best of himself and his father perhaps?
"Very soon, Merneptah, you shall be Pharaoh." Ramesses quietly said. "I know you will be as good a ruler as I have been, my equal in our nation's defense and in diplomacy, but still, I have a task for you… One that I never had the time to do."
"The eradication of the Hebrews." Merneptah uttered.
"Yes… For what they did to us so many years ago, the people of Moses must pay with their lives."
"The tribe of Israel will be wiped out, father. Its seed will be no more."
"May all the gods be with you, Merneptah. Your great-grandfather Ramesses I was the High Priest of Set before Horemheb named him his successor and he has ever been good to us. With his aid, I pray those accursed kin of the Hyksos barbarians will never more trouble Egypt or any other kingdom."
And with that, Ramesses the Great closed his eyes and took one last breath. Like his adoptive brother, he had left this earth. Merneptah would emerge victorious in the task his father had given him, for the Hebrews there was nothing but oblivion.
This is a bit more historical than some "Prince of Egypt" fan fictions I have read. Merneptah claimed to have wiped out Israel and recent finds have confirmed such things on his campaign in Canaan. Originally, there was also suppose to be references to the Irish national epic "Lebor Gabala Erenn", making mention of Scota and Goidel Glas, but I decided against it to keep the focus on Ramesses and Merneptah.
