The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 22
“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
The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 23
“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 Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 25
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 Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 26
“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
The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 28
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
The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 29
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
