The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 19
In the king's dining chamber, Tydeus and his comrades came in with the king, his palace guards and other chiefs of the land. They all sat on a big rectangular dining table with decorated chairs on each length. The table was filled with plates of different kinds of food and wines served by the king's palace chefs.King Nezeron decided to go straight to the point as Tydeus had suggested, and while eating and dining at the table, he began to narrate why exactly he had invited Tydeus and his companions to the palace.“When the Pharaohs of yesteryear built this nation, it was intended as one of the greatest Empires of all time…”“Egypt has been the richest and the greatest Citadel that has ever existed on the face of the earth…”“This nation has been a stronghold not only for the people but for other neighbouring countries. Our great government gave rise to many other existing nations on the face of the earth…”“But now Egypt is divided. The war has not only claimed lives but claimed our

Tydeus alone and the sorceress got up from their seat to follow King Nezeron to what he wanted to show Tydeus.The king brought Tydeus to the roof floor of his castle, where they could see every part of the city beneath them.“Look, Tydeus, see all that is left of Giza. Every week more refugees who have lost hold of their lands run to me seeking for protection…”“Most of them covered in blood, crippled or burnt by the Cytorex. All hope was lost; Giza could also end up like other destroyed cities if the Cytorex struck just one more time…”“Not until we heard of a great warrior who is called the great warrior of Egypt. The only one who in his great powers killed Apophis, the great beast of the dark world with his bare hands…”“I had no other option but to send my sorceress to find you wherever you might be. And now that you have arrived…”“Giza is sure to have a chance of victory against the Cytorex”, King Nezeron said with a heart filled with hope to Tydeus.“I am just a hitman doing h

“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,

“My king, the Cytorex will attack Giza unexpectedly. Now that they have the young prince and we know their location, we only have this last chance to make this right once and for all”, Captain Kethrax informed the king again.“If the Cytorex struck Giza one more time, we would lose everything. We will attack them now with everything we have, and we must do that as fast as possible”, King Nezeron gave his decision.Tydeus became a little displeased with the king's decision. The mission needs proper planning but the king seems to be ignoring that.“Tydeus, you're a gift from the gods, and if the gods have given us a gift, we must not squander it”, King Nezeron said as he turned to Tydeus once again.“Are the gods going to be fighting with us?” Tydeus asked King Nezeron quickly.“No, but the great warrior of Egypt, will”, King Nezeron replied Tydeus.“If you're trying to rush us into this mission, You're only going to make it more cumbersome for us to handle. And that is going to cost yo

“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 Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 24
“Have no fear, if you fall in the service of a just cause…”“Your souls will go to Abyss!...”“Where they will dwell forever amongst the shades of heroes like Ramesses or Seti or even Amenhotep”“When you see the enemy, only one thing should come to your mind, you either kill them or they kill you…”“And if you're too slow, it won't be long before the enemy sends you to hell…”“The Cytorex have no pity, they have no mercy. If they come any close to you, do not also show them mercy…”“Or else your souls will vanish into the unfathomed depths”“Is that clear?!”“Sir! Yes Sir!!” The army of Giza arranged in their great numbers, all responded to their General's call.“Or else your souls will vanish into the unfathomed depths? Pss! What kind of a pep talk is that?”, Rakeh asked his companions silently with a squeezed face. King Nezeron and his sorceress, with all the king's guards, including Tydeus and his friends, stood behind General Gyeron as he spoke to all the armies of Giza, trying

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

“The great Apophis that we all know is a gigantic dragon which only dwells deep in the forest of shadows”,“The legends even say that the great god of light, Ra, battled with Apophis for many years and couldn't get rid of it. If Apophis couldn't be killed by a god…”“How did ordinary mortals like you, Tydeus and Sakoh manage to kill such a powerful beast?” Artecus asked Rakeh fastidiously.Rakeh grinned towards Artecus with a weird smile as he continued riding his horse gently.“You want to know that huh?” Rakeh asked Artecus“I would love you to tell me”, Artecus replied to Rakeh with curiosity written all over his face.“This is something I will never tell anyone, but because Tydeus has made you one of us now, I think you should know”, Rakeh replied with a smile“Thanks, so how did it happen?” Artecus asked inquisitively again.“Hmm, have you ever heard of anything called the Stone-bane?” Rakeh asked Artecus.Artecus bowed his head, thinking vigorously; it seemed like something he h
