When Symphanoah woke up the next morning, she immediately noticed the piercing rays of sunshine that fell into her bedroom. She stretched briefly, then got up and took a shower in the bathroom. Then she got dressed and had a meager breakfast. Her only peace of mind was really just helping others and making them so happy. But what about her luck? Your pain? The thought of it made her feel a little sad. Still, the people of Cairo helped her wherever they could in this city, so she had no reason to feel lonely. But there was no one in your life who was only there for you, who would never leave you ... How nice it would have been to have someone here now. "Horus? Can you hear me? My heart is suffering ..." The god replied: "I know. But do not worry, you are under the protection of the Egyptian gods. Never give up hope, no matter what. You are so far been so strong don't deviate from this path. "Symphanoah nodded. "Yes, you are right. I'll take a look around outside ..."

And so she went back to the city quarter and enjoyed the fresh morning air .. Then she ran into the three boys from yesterday again. They seemed angry. "Oh, I wish good morning, be Horus with you. What do you have?" One replied: "Why did you not allow us the dates that we took yesterday? That is unfair! We would buy some if we did that Have money ... "She leaned forward to them with a soft smile. "You shouldn't steal from anyone, no matter how little you have. But you're still young, that's why I have something for you. Follow me. We'll go to me." The boys looked at each other puzzled, then they followed the young lady.

When they got to the house of the Shabtinas, the bullies were amazed. "Wow, a real villa! Is it yours? Tell me!" she just nodded with a friendly face. She opened the door and everyone entered. The boys were amazed at this beautiful oriental interior. Symphanoah looked around briefly, then pointed to a door. "There it goes to my pantry. Come on." The boys nodded eagerly and followed her quickly. Finally she came to a wooden door, unlocked it and presented the contents of the chamber to the others with a smile.

Whole shelves full of date cones. The children thought they were dreaming. "Dates, so many dates! More than you could ever eat! Where did you get them?" Symphanoah thought for a moment. "I got some from the dealer as a gift, but I made most of my own. Fresh dates are delivered to me once a week, and I'm responsible for sweetening them. Many people praise my recipe and regularly pick up the finished product from me. Basically, I am just running the business that my parents did, among other things, and with this villa I have inherited duties.Many dates go under the name "Shabtina Dream" and they really taste fantastic. But enough of that. Go ahead and take some. "

Her new friends didn't have to be told twice, so they took it. "Hey Symph, you are really a great girl. Sorry that we were always so scared of you. Don't we want to become friends?" Symphanoah just nodded happily. "Sure. What's your name?" One of the boys smacked his lips: "I'm Keas, that's Mills, and this one is Seal, the oldest of us. Pleased, Symph. That's what we can call you, right?" Symphanoah just nodded "I don't mind. You are nice. But please stop stealing the dates, will you? Now you have me, I'll prepare some portions for you afterwards. And then it occurs to me ... I have to go to the dealer right away Bring him some goods. Would you please help me carry it? And at the same time you can apologize to him for yesterday. I know it's difficult, but nobody will judge you for a lifetime "Keas replied with a grin : "Okay, we'll do that! I promise. Sorry that we didn't have the courage to do it yesterday." Symphanoah waved his hand away, "That's not bad at all and I'm in no way angry with you about it. But come on, they're already waiting for us . "

Symphanoah fetched a wheelbarrow and Keas, Mills and Seal loaded it with numerous date cones, pies and other delicacies. Then it started. "A sandstorm was announced for today. Have you heard it Symph?" said Mills. "No, unfortunately not. But if that's the case we have to hurry."

They continue on their way at a faster pace, because in a sandstorm you could never know when it would appear. "Wait ... I feel something. No ... he's here. Quick, get to safety! Otherwise Seth will harm you!" The three understood immediately, they knew about Symphanoah's gift. Symphanoah looked around searchingly, ready to intercept any attack from him. Only she was able to see him, other people turned to her in amazement. Here she couldn't do anything so she ran into a Setengasse hoping he would follow her. "Symphanoah, I want to show you something ..." he said in her head. "No! Leave me alone! Just get out of my life!" Seth continued unmoved: "When you are ready, go to the district that is also called the city of the dead ..." Symphanoah suddenly pricked up his ears. "What is Seth there? You are not planning to ..." Seth's face appeared in her mind's eye, blurred but still recognizable as such. "Find out. If you can muster the courage."

A few moments later, when Symphanoah seemed to be absent for a moment, the wind had picked up significantly. Not long now and the sandstorm would rage. Despite everything, she had to keep up with her duties. She hurried to the wheelbarrow and hurried to take it to the date dealer.But when she got there, nobody was there. He probably didn't want to open the stand today because of the storm. Surely he had already called her, but certainly in the time that she is here now. She had no choice but to go all the arduous way back and pull her cart behind her. The day didn't start well, she hoped it wouldn't get any worse. She couldn't go to the Necropolis just yet, even for her it was too risky in a sandstorm of uncertain proportions. When she got home she quickly locked all windows and doors, then turned on the television.

It was reported that the sandstorm was of frightening pull force. Slowly she connected Seth with it. Only he could manipulate wind and weather as he pleased. "Seth ... now you have to damage my home as well ... I hate you ..." she thought to herself. The thought seemed to her to linger the whole rest of the day without doing anything, while out there possibly whole existence was destroyed by Seth's magic. It didn't help, she took the risk and came to God's invitation to visit the city of the dead. When she got there she noticed that everything seemed deserted and desolate. Uneasiness spread through her, in combination with the gray sky it reminded her exactly of the description from some myths. Slowly she walked ahead, when suddenly behind a nearby wall an ox-like creature appeared, which reminded her of an Egyptian guard. Fighting against such forces was sheer madness. She decided to seek refuge in a nearby ruined house. Symphanoah went to the top floor and crouched against a wall there. She could see a hole in the ceiling. Without a doubt, she climbed over a pile of rubble and from its summit was able to reach the edge of the hole with an elegant jump and cling to it. With an effort she pulled herself up and reached the roof.

She looked down, down there in the alleys the ox continued to rage. In the distance she could see some mosques. Here she was safe from the guard for the time being. But she could hardly believe her eyes: down there also seemed to be partly undead and scarab flocks to be up to mischief. "Truly the city of the dead ..." breathed Symphanoah.

Suddenly she started up. It was in your living room with the television on. She shook her head briefly, completely perplexed. What was that just now? Was she really in the city of the dead or was she just dreaming? Did she fall asleep unnoticed earlier? Or was it just her soul that went there? It is said to be a place that no mortal body can visit. Seth may have torn her loose from her body without her noticing it and led her there. It now seemed to be evening.She went into her own study and turned over all the books dealing with Egyptian mythology. Among other things, she discovered astonishing information even though she was already familiar with it: Tomorrow, she was undoubtedly going to a museum. She needed to find out more about what was happening. She found no rest all night and finally fell asleep in the middle of her books.
