“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

“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

“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

Tydeus stealthily came down from his horse and began tiptoeing towards the front. The King and the general wondered what he saw and they didn't.He kept on stepping gently and covertly on the muddy ground as he fixed his eyes to the front which had been made obscure by fog and darkness.An astounding silence took over the environment. Even the racing heartbeats of the King and his General could be heard as they held onto their weapons tightly in case Tydeus in front noticed any threat.Tydeus gently bent his head as he advanced furtively into the fog, trying to get hold of the tiny sound in the great silence. Suddenly, no one knew what Tydeus saw, He immediately pulled out his big sword from the sheath on his back.*Wushyynnnne!*The screeching sound of Tydeus's sword from his sheath interrupted the silence. As Tydeus's men saw that he had just pulled out his sword, they also brought out their weapons. It seems the Cytorex would love to play some mind games before the real fight.Ty

Apphathorus's heart had started to drum in his chest, cold sweat trickling down his old, weak face as he awaited what would come out of the bush in the fog. But from afar, he saw something different; he was expecting to see the form of a monster or another hideous beast. Instead, he saw the form of a human, or maybe it was a monkey. He squinted his eyes to see who or what was coming behind the fog, every movement of his eyes begging it to be a human. He continued to focus his sight on the apparition in his front until he began to scream, “Help! Help!! Is anyone there?! Is anyone…” He halted his noise instantly as he saw what was coming out of the fog clearly. It was like a human being leaping with a walking stick coming in his direction. “Everybody in the forest can't be walking with a stick, except one person. But is it possible?” His thought swirled his brain as he continued to focus his gaze on the person coming his way. “No way!” he mumbled in shock with his eyes widened like

“Aaauurrrrrhhh!” A loud weak yawn broke through the silence. But nothing was seen except the blurry view of two large eyes protruding out of a big green head with horns like… or perhaps antennas shooting out of the green head. But it seems what was seen wasn't much of a threat so… we can ignore it. Not until the creature whatever it was, felt like it was coming closer, closer? From where exactly? We can take another blurry look, but… it's gone, better! Not bad for another yawn of relief and… “aauurrrrrrhhh”*AATTTUUU!!!*Apphathorus let out a loud cough as the grasshopper almost flew into his mouth.*TUEH! TUEH!! TEUH!!!*He spat repeatedly even though the little grasshopper had flown away. “What was that for?! I was sleeping and you flew on my nose? That wasn't enough; I tried to yawn, and then you flew into my mouth till you finally woke me up?!”“Why don't you creatures of this jungle have any sense of humour?” He yelled out disgustedly at the grasshopper, which had flown into t

Gnashing his teeth together and pulling with all his strength, the monster wasn't still moving, not even a bit. Still trying to do the impossible, he remembered how he broke down the gigantic gates of the Iron Fortress, but that was nothing to be compared to a three-headed beast with terrific size.The monster mockingly relaxed its body, waiting to see the magic this little human being is about to perform; perhaps it could get entertained for a while before it finally swallows him. With all his veins protruding from under his skin and his face tightened intensively, Tydeus continued to prove his bravery- or stupidity. He pulled with every last fibre left in his being, but the monster was only moving in his mind. The thoughts of his brothers, Rakeh and Sakoh, flickered through his mind like ghosts, trapped within the cold, unforgiving confines of the King's prison. He could almost hear their silent pleas, yearning for his strength, hoping he would come to their aid.Urshuz, hopeless i

Caught in the tangled webs of his predicaments, Tydeus wrestled with his vague awareness of his surroundings. It was then that an unexpected breeze brushed against his skin, stirring him from his struggles. With a sudden jolt, he twisted around and was startled to discover that he lay precariously at the very edge of a towering cliff. The realization sent shivers down his spine as he crawled closer to the precipice, compelled by a mix of fear and curiosity. Peering over the edge, his breath caught in his throat. Below him lay an abyss of jagged trenches, their depths obscured by shadows. Massive, sharp rocks jutted out at odd angles, resembling the jagged teeth of a Dinosaur lurking beneath the surface. He faced the monster again as it continued to come closer, but he still hadn't gotten any idea. Perhaps the despair in his mind had clouded his thinking so badly. Suddenly, the last words he said on Isis' grave flashed in his mind. “I will kill Nezeron for you, Isis” his head rang li

CHAPTER 85
The three-headed leviathan, which had no iota of pity, rammed into the log all with all its three heads, pushing both Tydeus and a massive log out of its way. And with such a merciless impact, Tydeus was projected into the sky. For a second, he noticed he couldn't breathe.The altitude from where gravity intercepted his projection to the ground level made his heart jerk in his chest. He immediately closed his eyes and covered his face with his elbow before he fell ruthlessly to the ground, landing him many contusions.The three-headed monster, unshaken, writhed all its head of the dust from the log, trying to get sight of its prey again, but it never saw Tydeus. It continued to roar powerfully, shaking the entire jungle but still didn't see its prey anymore. Tydeus lay under the root of a big tree full of thorns; he dragged himself onto the root perfectly to hide from the monster. His eyes fell on his arm which had started to bleed heavily, with bruises all over his body.He sorrowfu

With every one of his muscles vibrating involuntarily, Tydeus's stick dropped from his hands in bewilderment at what was in his front. He let out a deep, sharp gasp as his hands went behind him, looking for what to hold on to.The creature gnarled again with a deep low noise from one of its heads. Yes, one of its heads because Tydeus also had now realized that Apophis was only child's play and the Scorpion, maybe an insect to what he was seeing before him. With its hideous hide, a patchwork of rugged scales like swords protruding out of its body, four magnanimous limbs that looked like mountains each extended with massive claws, the Leviathan's body covered the surroundings like an embodiment of primordial horror and dread.Having its triple commodiously scary heads towering with formidable horns twisted and curled, the colossal beast stretched its monstrous tail filled with rocky spikes that ran up to its vertebra and snarled at the two human prey in front of it.Apophis was actuall

“If you remember, I told you last time in the prison that the Iron Mask captured me because they accused me of stealing a map that contains the road to a treasure from them, do you remember?” Apphathorus asked. “Uhm, yeah, you said it was a treasure hidden in the Forest of Shadows, and if you find it, you can use it to save your people”, Tydeus replied.“Yes, Exactly. And that is what I have come into this jungle to find before I was trapped here”, Apphathorus explained. “Why not? You must really be crazy to come into this cursed forest in search of some treasure. What makes you think you're going to make it out of here alive? Your witchery?”“My science!” Apphathorus quickly countered Tydeus with a strict tone. “Oh, I see. Well good luck to you on your search for your pissant treasure”, Tydeus replied as he started to turn back again. “If you had the opportunity to make one wish and what you wished for no matter what it is, will be granted immediately, would you consider that as

Tydeus lifted his gaze and saw a tree a few meters away from him and a human figure trapped on the entwisted branches. He squinted his eyes and bent his back, shooting his face forward to see what exactly the situation was and who the person was. He picked up his walking stick and began to walk stealthily towards the tree, marching into the muddy and wet ground with his bare foot. Perhaps, this has got to be a trick or a prank by some of the ghosts or spirits in the forest. Nevertheless, he has to go and see what exactly the situation is before he can consider himself safe. “Thank your stars, you listened to me and didn't take any more steps in the direction you were going previously. You could have fallen into a mire under those thick bushes”, the person said to Tydeus, who continued to move closer. Tydeus processed the person's voice in his head as he continued to walk furtively to see who it was, but something was off; he realized it was a familiar voice, one that seemed like he

CHAPTER 81
Navigating the forest with only one leg was very tiresome and slow, but the sunrise felt even slower as if the darkness might linger forever. Yet, at last, dawn broke through the formidable canopy of the forest.The once-silent creatures of the jungle stirred to life under the gentle warmth of the morning sun. Grotesque monkeys swung from the gnarled branches of the rugged trees, their chattering filling the air with an almost chaotic vibrancy. Nearby, a pride of elephants ambled to a murky swamp, their massive bodies creating ripples in the viscerally unappealing waters as they quenched their thirst.Tatty snakes, both large and small, slithered with a chilling grace, dragging their sinuous forms across the muddy ground. Above, the sky was filled with an array of frantic birds, darting to and fro as if searching for their next prey. Meanwhile, other four-legged creatures roamed lazily, running after the grisly insects that danced over the damp foliage surrounding them.The trees stoo
