Fanfic: Fluch der Treue

them. ", she offered herself.
“That is very good. You will later become something really big with your willingness to help. Keep them for you. "Lycida said, her black hair shimmering a deep dark brown in the sunlight.
Mana was happy about the praise and took on her tasks.
,, So I need a large aquamarine and fennel or dill herbs, and I also need a pillow filled with betonika herb. Can you get me this? "
"With great pleasure.", Mana said with a smile and disappeared from the room.

She walked slowly up to the Pharaoh and sat down on the bed with him.
“So this is the young Pharaoh who now has to rule. How old is he? 16? 17 years old? "
“Age is now uninteresting. What do you intend to do now? ", Simon Muran asked the dark-skinned beauty. Her dark skin color showed that she was under Re a lot.
“I will clean his damaged respiratory tract with a brew of fennel and dill herbs. Then I will make him an amulet out of aquamarine and have it confirmed by Sekhmet. He should always carry it with him. It helps him survive the irritation of his airways. In addition to all of this, he should always sleep on the Betonika pillow. He has severe insomnia. "
They were both amazed.
"You are a master of your trade."
,,Oh. You flatter me. There are better ones than me. I only serve Egypt. But ... I am concerned that Pharaoh has gotten sick so many times in the past few months.This does not appear to be a simple irritation to the airways. "Lycida said, worried.
"How do you mean that? Then what can it be? "asked Isis.
“It's just a guess, of course, but it could also be black magic if his condition doesn't improve. "she said with a petrified expression.
At first there was an oppressive silence until Simon Muran spoke.
"We can only hope that his condition will improve, if not ..."
He couldn't think of it. Sure, there were some who hated Pharaoh and were jealous, but could jealousy be turned into hate that can be fatal?
Can people once again destroy and kill out of envy, as they have done since the beginning of time?
At that time to maintain their existence, nowadays from unsatisfactory living conditions.

Lycida covered the Pharaoh's forehead with cold linen towels and changed them regularly. He was still sleeping very restlessly and seemed to be plagued by nightmares.<< You fool, Akunum Canon ... There is no peace and there will never be. Your dark side also pulls you to death ... >>
The young man heard a sardonic, long, horrific laugh before he jumped up and began to gasp.
<Akunum Canon ... My father? What a dream…>
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to collect himself when he looked at worried faces.
“Are you well, rulers of Upper and Lower Egypt? "Lycida asked.
"Are you the healer?"
“Yes, my Pharaoh. My name is Lycida and you won the fight against the black uraeus snake for the time being, but it will return. Please drink this. "
Mana looked at him with a worried face. She had been able to get everything.
The Pharaoh hesitantly complied with their demands. The brew tasted disgusting, but his upper body felt warm. A nice feeling.
Meanwhile, Lycida made the aquamarine necklace. She shaped it to have the shape of an ankh.She put them on the ruler's bed and then bowed curtly.
“My Pharaoh. I can't stay long. "
“What is more important than the well-being of Pharaoh? "asked Simon Muran angrily.
“Forgive me for being unconventional, but I have a family and my daughter is ill. I left her alone now, but ... "
,,I understand you. Go calmly. "said the Pharaoh with a smile.
“You have helped me very well. I thank you on behalf of Egypt. "
"It was an honor for me."
She turned to Mana.
"Did you write down the preparation of the ingredients?"
,,Yes mistress. I'll give it to him three times a day. "
,,Very good. By the way, I would very much like to introduce you to someone. It can be very helpful to you in maintaining your existence. She is very talented, but she is celebrating the rites in Elephantine. Would you take a trip to see her? ", she asked to the Pharaoh.
"If it helps, I'll see you.""Thank you, sir."
Addressing Isis' and Simon Muran, she said, “You must instruct them in what I told you earlier. ", she added emphatically.
Isis nodded and Simon Muran looked at her suspiciously. He didn't trust her, even though she had saved Pharaoh.

Pharaoh was still dazed from his dream.
<< What does a pharaoh do? “He makes his people happy. ">> it echoed in his head.
What did these words mean? And who were they from?
He had sustained very painful injuries to his ka, but he had never had dreams like this. Especially not with his father, whom he could hardly remember.
<< And how does he do that? By doing favors to mate and gods so that they may fall back on people. >> was the second part of this train of thought.
Who were they from? Would this person be able to give him information about his father?

Lycida now went out the door, but before she closed it, she said: "Ask about the Hathor protégé and you will find her."A long journey would begin. Will this mysterious personality be able to give the Pharaoh back his radiant Ka?

After Lycida locked the door and was seen walking across the courtyard, people became concerned.
“We shouldn't rush anything, my Pharaoh. Such a long journey could only weaken your ka further. "Isis tried to appeal to him.
“Please listen to your sensible side. "Pleaded Simon Muran." Besides, this woman can come to you too. Since when has the Pharaoh been going to someone? "
But the Pharaoh looked sternly into the room and straightened up. Everyone waited for the answer from the connection to the kingdom of gods.
"Mana?"
,,Yes?"
“Please prepare the ingredients of my medicine for a long journey. "he said with a smile when he saw the astonished faces of Isis and Simon Muran.
,,But…"
,,I have spoken. It is irrevocable. Prepare everything. We will set off and arrive before Res's journey to the beyond, when he shows us once again that he has conquered the beyond. "With that they both disappeared from the room and let the guard in front of his door know how his condition was. At the slightest unusual noise, you should storm the room.

The Pharaoh lay on his bed for a long time, enjoying the warm air and the distant soothing murmur of the Nile.
<The herbal pillow and the warm brew really helped me. Maybe this person can really help me. But who is she and why have I never heard of her before? >, asked the ruler and stayed like that until the beginning of the journey.

They walked slowly out of the palace after taking care of all the high-ranking personalities with their respective tasks in order to maintain courtly life. Mahaado and Karim would be in charge of all affairs of state and would soon be assisted by Shada and Seth, as they would soon return from their trip.
A large ship shaped like the barque Osiris' stood in the Nile and waited for her crew.
Isis in his usual white linen dress and Simon Muran in his white linen robe, which showed less skin, led the way to the ship.The Pharaoh followed them. He wore a white linen robe and a short loincloth and a multi-row turquoise chain around his neck. Gold and bronze were attached to his arm and leg joints and his ears and forehead were also covered with heavy gold jewelry. Last but not least, his everyday gem - his millennium puzzle.
His bronze sandals kicked up the hot desert sand and his eyes looked far across the land. How long had he not gone out? Egypt could not be ruled by itself. Many people are dominated by idleness and forget their duty. He had seen it once before that the whole temple of Karnak did not honor the great Amun, but worked elsewhere. He must constantly rule as a symbol of the mate and spread their teachings everywhere and take care that they are respected.
He looked around once more and saw Mana, who continued to study hard. What hadn't they already seen.They grew up together. You, by that he meant Mana, Mahaado and himself. They had studied magic together, had received military training and did everything together, but everything has changed since he became Pharaoh: He now serves Egypt and has to be his life for Give land.

Everything had been loaded and the Pharaoh was sitting at the bow of the barge and gazing at the beautiful landscape of his country. Each year the Nile rose, bringing the country a period of prosperity and wealth. But for this the gods had to be honored so that Egypt could not go down in hunger and misery.

The journey was smooth and uneventful. The azure sky merged with the golden sand of the desert. Here and there the crew of the ship spotted a few hippos or crocodiles and carefully framed them. The Nile was the source of life in Egypt, but it also harbored many dangers and secrets.
The heat rose more and more. After all, the third sunny month was already drawing to a close.The fields were cultivated and the gods were thanked for seeing the pharaoh on his boat. Immediately the good news was spread in the various different villages they passed and then there was a strong celebration.
The young Pharaoh was generally well known and respected throughout the country.
The crew thanked Re as he slowly sank lower. Dusk came.
Hopefully the gods could protect his boat and see it return.

<Harr. Harr. Harr.> Someone laughed maliciously in their minds and was happy about their crazy plan. Akunadin was saying goodbye to a man in a red coat and white hair. He held something tightly in his hand and then slowly walked away feeling the hot desert sand under his feet. Twilight set in in Thebes, the city of the dead, too, and he took the opportunity to merge unnoticed with the darkness and come to the palace.,, Pharaoh. Here is your medicine. "said Mana and sat down next to him.
The setting sun shone on the Nile, which gave life to all Egyptians. They drove further and further south to where
