The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 50
*Fwweeeuuuuoooo!!!*One of the guards on the belfry of the City blew a horn, notifying the whole city about the arrival of the king and the armies as they saw them coming from afar. The armies of Giza and their king arrived in their City, Giza. Everything seems to still be pretty much in shape.The Guards at the entrance of the City rolled the gears of the main gates as it made a loud grating noise. The gates were opened, and the King, with his armies, rode into the city gallantly.All the villagers, joyous and blissful, packed themselves around the road, they began to spread their clothes, palm leaves and ornaments of decorations on the roads.Some of the villagers came with fruits and food in their baskets and presented them to the soldiers who had gone to risk their lives to defend their city. They continued chattering exuberantly, welcoming their saviours and warriors.“Hail King Nezeron!”“Hail King Nezeron!!”“Hail King Nezeron!!!”The soldiers and the villagers started hailin

"The gods have favoured us. We have achieved this feat for Giza and in no time we will do the same for every other part of our great nation Egypt”,“And to our heroes who fought by our side to achieve this great victory, their legend will never be forgotten. Their names will now be added to the history books of Giza”,“Tomorrow we hold a big feast, the biggest feast that has never been held in the history of this land. We would celebrate our victory, award our heroes and our land… WILL FOREVER BE GREAT!”“All hail King Nezeron!” One of the soldiers shouted as the King concluded his speech.“Hail, King Nezeron!”“Hail, King Nezeron!!”“Hail, King Nezeron!!!”The soldiers and the villagers yelled, hailing and praising their king as he entered his castle with his subordinates and they were all dismissed.“Wow! Did you all hear what the King just said? He would not only pay us but award us and add our names to the history books of the City, that's awesome”, Artecus said to his friends as
The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 52
The night appeared and every area of the city became dark as the sun handed over the dominion of the sky to the moon. The dusk was calm, with only the soft chirping of crickets and the occasional rustle of leaves in the breeze. Suddenly, a distant rumble of thunder broke the silence, and flashes of lightning briefly illuminated the darkened villages. The wind picked up, whistling through the narrow alleys and swaying the branches of trees. Moments later, the sky opened, and heavy raindrops began pelting the roofs, creating a steady rhythm that grew louder with each passing second. Oil lamps flickered inside homes as villagers hurried to close windows and secure belongings. The streets, once silent, filled with the sound of rushing water, and small streams formed along the paths, flowing towards the fields. In a comfortable room in the castle where Tydeus and his companions were offered to stay by the king, the torrential downpour of rain began to drum on the rooftop, disturbing

Tydeus alighted from the staircase and advanced into the corridor. He hadn't yet seen anyone who seemed to have called his name. “Tydeus!” The voice called out again, this time, a little bit loud. Something quickly brought Tydeus's attention to the window of the first cell which was exactly by his side. He saw the Cytorex leader in the cell, covered in dirt and blood stains with his clothes, torn, looking directly into Tydeus's face again. Tydeus became shocked instantly; he never mentioned his name to the Cytorex leader; how did he know his name? He began moving gently towards the cell's steel window to get close to the Cytorex leader. “You know my name?” Tydeus asked boldly. “I gave you the name”, the Cytorex leader replied with certainty. “What are you talking about?” Tydeus asked quickly, his face squeezed like he just bit his tongue. While still sitting on the floor in the cell, the Cytorex leader wore a pale smile and lowered his head slowly. He took his eyes to

“Pss! Rebels? Of course, that is what you must have believed before you come and attack us”, Urshuz replied to Tydeus's question.“What are you talking about? So the Cytorex weren't rebels?” Tydeus asked inquisitively.Urshuz looked at Tydeus's face again who was still looking confused and curious. Tydeus's heart had started racing, the hair on his body stood on end, and his breath had begun to fluctuate as he prepared himself to hear what Urshuz was about to tell him.“Fine. I think it's time. Tydeus I have been wanting to tell you this since you were young but I feel your emotion as a teenager would not be able to contain it so I kept it away from you”“Good thing you're grown now. I think it's time you know the truth about yourself and where you actually come from. And I will need you to give me your ears and pay very close attention. Should I go ahead?”“Of course, I'm all ears. I'm listening” Tydeus replied to Urshuz curiously.“Good. Tydeus I am not your biological father”,“Wha

“I wrapped the little boy, who seemed to be the last Athenian alive and took him out of the desolated City. I got to a hill and decided to take a wider view of the slaughter done to the Athacians, but…”“The view was very awful, there was nothing left anymore, except the crumbled buildings which were still exuding thick black smoke from the fire that they had been burned with the night before”“I couldn't continue weeping. The great City of Athace had fallen already and there's nothing I could do about it. I took the baby out of the scene and evaded the environment immediately”“There was no safe place in the nation anymore as a fierce civil war started. Cities rose against each other, villages burnt and desolated, innocent slaughtered daily and the land gave up its fertility, we weren't able to plant food crops anymore”“The Pharaoh was forced to go on an exile, and the palace of Egypt was destroyed. Since then, Egypt has been divided with no Pharaoh. Many of the cities who couldn't

Isis, the king's sorceress, began moving sluggishly from the stairs behind Tydeus, shuddering in her steps.Her face was very unusual; this time, she looked very frightened. Her hands were shaking twitchingly like she had lost her nerves. She suddenly became petrified to the extent that she couldn't even lift her head to look at Tydeus in the face.Her legs continued to palpitate as she fidgeted with her hands like she was being electrocuted. She nervously came down the stairs and walked towards Tydeus shivering. She has obviously been listening to their conversation.“Isis? Isis, what are you doing here?” Tydeus asked very curiously.“Who is she?”“She is the king's sorceress”, Tydeus replied to Urshuz's question.“Nezeron's sorceress? Wow! Great!” Urshuz replied sarcastically.“Isis, what is going on here? And how do you know everything he told me is the truth?” Tydeus asked fastidiously again as he turned to Isis.“Tydeus, please, I beg you to listen to me. Everything the Cytorex l

“What did you just say?” Tydeus asked furiously as he clenched his fists in anger.“Voila!!! I was waiting for her to say it. It might sound false if I told you, but I wanted her to say it herself”, Urshuz exclaimed.“Nezeron has been behind all of this?” Tydeus asked, raising his voice.“Tydeus, I beg you in the name of the gods. Let me explain”, Isis said quickly as she started noticing Tydeus's reaction.“Tell me what you know”, Tydeus replied irritated. “Continue sorceress, start talking”, Urshuz spoke authoritatively.Isis, still shivering, took in a deep breath and exhaled nervously. It seems she has got a lot to confess.“Nezeron. Nezeron has been the mastermind behind every one of the calamities and atrocities that has crumbled this nation to the shambles it is presently”“And not just from the time the civil war started, not from the time the city of Athace was destroyed, not even from the time Egypt was first attacked in the royal castle of the Pharaoh. But from the time o

They kept navigating their way in the renowned cave of the dead till they got to a narrow corridor, a creepy long passage, dark and appalling. Apphathorus quickly gripped the lamp he had in his hands tightly and swallowed hard.“This place looks scary, are we really going into this corridor?” Apphathorus asked“Everywhere in this cave is scary, there's no need to be dramatic. We must get the stones. So what did the map indicate? We are going through this corridor right?” Tydeus asked“Yes” Apphathorus replied “Fine. Just make sure you're very careful and you stay behind me”, Tydeus, whilst still holding his bleeding stomach warned Apphathorus, making his way into the corridor by leaping on his broken kneeApphathorus began walking behind him as they advanced further into the corridor. As Apphathorus walked, his legs were shaking terribly each step wishing he hadn't come into the Forest in the first place. With the lamp in his hands, he continued to turn his back often after each step
CHAPTER 92
The giant turned to Apphathorus again but could not see anything. Has he run away? It steered its body in different directions looking for the little human who just woke it up after sleeping for thousands of years. While the mummy turned back, Apphathorus furtively held his bag and began to make his way out of the cave. This was only their first encounter, and it was already looking like it would be the end of their adventure.Only one step was remaining for him to make it out of the cave from the big hole, but he noticed he wasn't moving forward again, it was as if an external force was taking him back. He turned his back in terror and saw the giant pulling him back into the cave. They had come to its playground, and it seemed the giant mummy wasn't done playing yet. The giant mummy gripped Apphathorus tightly with its wide, bony palm and brought it closer to its mouth, but just before he could swallow Apphathorus, who was already screaming beyond his voice, Tydeus emerged out of n
CHAPTER 91
“Watch your steps, old man; this place doesn't look like the playground you called it”, Tydeus said, breaking the ominous silence in the cave, and his voice echoed.“Oh my gosh! I'm creeping out right now. I feel like vomiting”, Apphathorus replied fearfully“Oh well, you can do that after we make it outside. As you can see this place is really dark and eerie. We are left to find the stones now”, Tydeus said, taking a closer look at the materials on the floor; they looked like dry bones of humans or perhaps animals. “Where could they be now?”“You have the map with you isn't it?” Tydeus cut in“Yeah?”“Then make use of it; where are we supposed to get the stones before something comes at us?” Tydeus asked Apphathorus sharply. “Uhm, This is what it says. We are supposed to…”“Hey watch it! Don't touch anything. Be careful!” Tydeus quickly informed as he saw Apphathorus almost resting on some of the creepy materials near the wall.“Oh, don't worry about me being careful; I mean, I was
CHAPTER 90
The rain had started to drizzle and the breeze blowing ominously, the trees had started to dance like horrible masquerades making the entire atmosphere in the jungle tense and creepy, but it seemed these two risk-takers were already getting used to the nature around these paths but they might just be making their way to the most dreadful part of all. Apphathorus and Tydeus, whilst still leaping with his stick, arrived at a wide spot under a big tree in the forest after a long walk, both of them started to gaze at the surroundings, trying to observe where they had gotten to. “Are we lost? Tydeus asked his voice sharp.“I think that's not the right word to use because we have been lost since we made our way into this jungle. But talking about ‘misplaced’, I think we…” Apphathorus was saying as he took another look at his map to study it again. “Oh no! Now we have to go back, we have been walking in the wrong route!” He said with a tone of disappointment.“Really? Let me see that” Ty
CHAPTER 89
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
CHAPTER 88
“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
CHAPTER 87
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
CHAPTER 86
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
