Prologue
Few know the whole story. From what I recall, it goes something like this....
Before history began, Egypt was the birthplace of all life. A paradise worthy of the Gods who created it. So the Gods decided to live there alongside their lesser creation, man. But there was no mistaking the Gods amongst the mortals who worshipped them. The Gods were taller with gold running through their veins instead of blood. And they could transform at will into all manner of frightening beasts. Egypt itself was divided between two mighty brothers. Osiris, the God of Life, was the beloved king of all the lands made bountiful by the Nile. His brother, Set, ruled the far barren desert finding both strength and bitterness in his isolation. But then the time came for Osiris to crown a new king. His only son, Horus. It was a decision that would test the brothers’ bond and the fate of all Egypt.
But the Gods are only half our tale. It had become clear that they couldn’t shape the course of destiny alone. A person of exceptional judgement, wisdom, and fortitude would be needed. Unfortunately, I was not such a person. But before you dismiss my younger, foolhardy self, remember....never doubt a woman fighting for the one thing as powerful as any god. Family.
