“Nothing exactly, bro. I'm just trying to set the records straight so we get our job here done and we get paid appropriately”, Tydeus responded with a smile.“Yeah, that's exactly the reason why we're waiting for you in the dining room. We are about to determine our price before we tell the king, and you're out here alone with the sorceress?” Rakeh immediately questioned Tydeus again, realizing the sorceress's reaction earlier.“Nope, not what you're thinking brother. Let's just go back to meet the others”, Tydeus replied to Rakeh as he quickly wrapped his arm around Rakeh's shoulder, preventing him from asking any more questions.Getting into the dining chamber, they met only Sakoh and Artecus, who were also waiting for Tydeus.“We thought both of you went on to have a private discussion without us”, Sakoh said out loud as he saw Tydeus and Rakeh coming.“Pss! I went to get your guy from the roof floor, I don't know what he was still doing there all alone”, Rakeh responded to Sakoh,

“En sabar nur, En sabar nur, Yak rasin, Yak tamanIdi na kowa, Idi na kowaNetjeru ta en kemetShed en ten …”Isis, the sorceress, continued chanting in the shrine, a small room in the palace, as the king, the general and all the subordinates, including Tydeus and his men, all bowed their heads to the ground behind the sorceress and her maids.The brightness of the early morning sun filled up the room, the perfect atmosphere to worship the gods. Isis, with two of her maiden sorceresses, continued chanting to summon the gods to show them the outcome of the war they were about to go into.The worship had already lasted about thirty minutes. Tydeus, where he was bowing his head, looked up to see what was taking so much time. Haven't the gods spoken to the sorceress yet?He looked around and saw his companions bowing their heads, the king and all his subordinates also,“Aren't they tired already? When are they going to round up the worship?” Tydeus asked in his mind.He got up agitatedly

The journey to the Valley Of Bones continued after many hours of travel,The soldiers kept on marching relentlessly across mountains, across rivers, across great hills and even across thick forests as their subjects rode on their horses and chariots leading the way.The sun had begun to disappear as the night came closer; in a few more hours, they would arrive at the Valley Of Bones.They continued to travel on a plateau that connected to the Valley ahead.The ground looks very deserted, with no sign of life on the plateau. There were no animals, no plants, only bones and rotten dead creatures on the ground.It is as if the place has been cursed or something.Gradually, the moon began to appear, and the captains of the soldiers immediately ordered the armies to light up their lanterns and mount them on their spears as they continued marching closer to the Valley.Tydeus kept looking around the deserted area. He quickly used his hands to cover his nose to shield his nostrils from the p

“Oops! Never thought I would hear that”, Tydeus mumbled to himself playfully.“Why did you interrupt my sorcery in the shrine the other time?” Isis asked Tydeus angrily.“Oh, that? That wasn't inten…”“Don't tell me it's not intentional. I know you did it purposely”, Isis quickly opposed Tydeus“Alright, fine. It was actually because you were taking too much time…”“We were to prepare for war not to start a ceremony for the gods. All we needed to do was to pick up our weapons and head to the battlefront”“But you and your little maidens stood there wasting our time. I had to do what I had to do?” Tydeus explained himself frivolously.“Really? So consulting the gods before embarking on a dangerous mission is not important to you right?” Isis objected again. “Okay then, where is Osiris? I can't see Amun anywhere. Is Anubis behind you?”“No of course! We are the only ones going into this battle; the last time I checked, the gods were not going with us”“So what is the need to consult th

Isis rode her horse confidently to the front, locking her eyes on Tydeus's face with a bold smile. It seems this is her chance to prove to this “rude” Tydeus what she is capable of.“My sorceress, are you sure…”“I will go with them, Your Highness”, Isis cut into King Nezeron's question.Tydeus, whose face had been filled with seriousness, immediately lost his concentration as he saw Isis again. He unconsciously started gazing at her intently as she rode her horse forward.“You sure you really want to do this?” Tydeus leniently asked Isis with a playful smile.“Your men would probably need someone to save their asses”, Isis sarcastically whispered to Tydeus with a weird smile.Tydeus giggled silently as he took his eyes to Isis's face again in agreement with her and said, “Alright if you say so”.“Okay then, I guess we have to turn to the right isn't it, Captain?” Sakoh immediately asked Captain Kethrax“Yes”, Captain Kethrax replied.“You four better be very careful”, General Gyeron
