The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 61
Tydeus placed his head down, hiding his face. He was still perplexed about what he had heard the night before. Perhaps it was all a dream or he was just unconscious. The last thing Urshuz told him was that, he knows what he is supposed to do. But the look on Tydeus's face could tell that he was already discombobulated. How he is supposed to handle this situation? He probably has no clue.*BANG! BOOM!! BANG!!! BOOM!!!!*The royal soldiers began beating the royal drum, signalling to the attendees and guests in the hall about the king's arrival. The other palace soldiers marched themselves gallantly and made formation in front of the stage in the hall. King Nezeron, with his general and chiefs, majestically walked out of the inner chamber and ascended onto the stage of the castle.The reason why the King had been busy in his inner chambers was now very obvious. His makeup artists and maids have clearly done a good job on his attire. He was wearing a shiny red robe adorned with golden j

Tydeus immediately took his attention to Artecus, he seemed to be the only one asking too many questions. And his questions were all shaping towards something.He definitely won't know what happened the night before, he was asleep with the others. Tydeus thought he could explain the situation to his friends but where would he even start from? “Perhaps I know what could cheer the big guy up. Do you still have some of those grape wines left, Sakoh? Artecus asked Sakoh quickly.“Yes! And I think you're right. Perhaps the sweet wine could cool his mind”, Sakoh said as he passed the jar of wine to Artecus.Artecus furtively brought out a different cup which wasn't on the table before; it was such a lustrous cup; maybe the aesthetics of the cup would also invigorate Tydeus's mood.Artecus quickly filled the cup with the wine and passed it to Tydeus, but Tydeus remained unresponsive. It was as if his mind was not even with them at all.“Take the drink, Tydeus. It's a very refreshing one, yo

“Is Tydeus already going to collect our fee from the king?” Sakoh asked Rakeh curiously as the soldier took Tydeus further into the distance.“I hope so. If anything happens to our payments then the king should better be preparing for trouble”, Rakeh replied to Sakoh“What do you mean? What has the King said about our fee? And what did Tydeus just tell you now before he left?” Sakoh asked again fastidiously.“He told me something that will never happen”, Rakeh replied sarcastically.“You're sounding like we are going to be having a payment problem. Tell me I'm wrong”, Sakoh said to Rakeh again curiously.“That's why I said, the king might need to be preparing for trouble”, Rakeh gave another sarcastic reply as he picked and bit another chicken meat from his plate“Not just any trouble, but big trouble. I mean, after almost killing ourselves on the broken bridge, fighting adventurously in the Valley, saving the boy from the Cytorex and eventually completing the mission…”“We aren't sti

“You have been killing people and slaying everything slayable only to get gold. I didn't use you, I only made you do what you have always loved to do best, to kill people”“You lie! I don't just fight for gold. I fight to make things right”, Tydeus countered King Nezeron audaciously.“Really? Heroes fight for glory, but hitmen fight for gold, have you forgotten you told me that?”“Listen Tydeus, we have all known your legend. Tydeus, the great warrior of Egypt, the only one who killed Apophis with his bare hands. That's yours, but here is mine…”, King Nezeron continued as he stood up gently and leaned on his table, going eyeball-to-eyeball with Tydeus.“When I once ruled this nation, I had dreams of making this land something more than just a country, something that would sever the weak from the strong”“Something that would give Egypt the true honour and supremacy it deserves, something that would make this land grow and dominate the other nations of the world”“But my dreams have be

Tydeus was literally on a dead spot; he had himself outnumbered one to twenty, with his neck threatened by the tips of twenty spears. Only a stab from one of the guards could send him to join his ancestors within the blink of an eye.Tydeus clenched his fists angrily, his veins had started to protrude from his skin, threatening to burst out if he didn't cool off. He took his face around him and observed the guards; they were filled with so much vigour, at least they had their spears aiming for his neck.One of the guards, as he realized Tydeus wouldn't yield but do something stupid, immediately brought his spear closer, trying to stab Tydeus's neck from behind. But Tydeus was smart enough to notice him and as the soldier came close enough, Tydeus dodged the stabbing impact of the spear and lifted the guard like a piece of wood over his head. The King became shocked instantly; probably, scenes that happened in the Valley Of Bones flashed into his mind.The rest of the guards tried to

The only way to keep a prisoner for life and make sure he doesn't escape is to prevent him from knowing he is in prison. The question is, how will the people of Giza understand that they have been enslaved by a tyrant?The sun had started to rise again, and the dawn notified the people about a new day. But the brightness in the sky was a little dim; it was as if the firmament was trying to indicate an omen for anyone who could understand.Tydeus struggled to lift his eyelids. The sun darted its beam into his eyes from a small opening in his front, threatening to damage his iris; he immediately closed his eyes and tightened them.He thought of scratching his eyelids with his fingers but he couldn't feel his arms. He managed to open his eyes again, but the view around him was very blurry and hazy; he couldn't capture the image of his surroundings clearly.He began to hear indistinct chatters coming from behind him and above him. He vigorously writhes his head to get himself fully awake

“A deadly slow poison that annihilates the life of anything it gets into”“Only a drop could kill the most gigantic creature in the world but only in an amount of time, depending on how strong the creature is”“A clump of tiny slimy parasites that replicates irrevocably when it gets into a host”“They get into a host and start to multiply, and as they multiply they gradually kill every living cell in the body of the host”“The host can only bear the pain for a short amount of time depending on how strong the body immune of the host is”“But no matter how strong any creature that swallows even a drop of it might be, it can never last twenty-four hours before it dies”“Whoever gave you this magical work of chemistry, must be a very sound alchemist, Rakeh”, Artecus said as he walked into the dungeon towards Rakeh's cell arrogantly and with a villainous smile.“Come on, Artecus. We don't have much time. You can still try to break the lock from the outside and you can…”“Heeey. Take it eas

“The… The bedtime story, It was… It was true”, Tydeus mumbled in despair“Of course, I knew it was true. I am smarter than you all, you think I was joking?”“When it comes to fighting, you all can beat me. But it comes to wits, none of you can stand a chance against me”“This was why I thought we could respect each other in regards to our different areas of strength, not that only one person would continue to take all the glory and accolades”“But since you all preferred to treat me as the least in the group, I gotta do what I had to do”“And besides, someone recognized my intellectual ability and decided to give me a better offer”“When I found out that Tydeus was the last Athacian whom the legendary prophecy was talking about, and he was conspiring with the Cytorex leader to attack the king, I thought it would be something the King should know about, so I went to tell the king immediately” Artecus expressed himself.“What?! How do you know about that?” Tydeus asked Artecus confounde

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

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

“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

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

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
