the city of Elephantine was - the city of Hathors.
Mana sat down with the young ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt and he enjoyed their company. She said nothing, just looked out over the Nile.
Pharaoh did the same.
<It is bad when good friends have nothing more to say to each other ...>, the ruler thought wistfully and focused his thoughts on the Hathor healers.
Then Mana spoke.
,, Ouji? ", she said affectionately, teasing him with it. He looked at her inquiringly.
"Can you tell me how you feel? "She looked at him intently.
,,What do you think? So ... you are to me ... "he said with a stutter.
“I don't mean that, Ouji. I mean what you feel in your chest when you see your country. The beautiful palm trees, the blue Nile, the heavenly stars of the Hathor - all this. "He laughed in relief and replied, “I feel that Egypt is part of me - from Pharaoh. Egypt has become my destiny. And my fate is linked to Egypt. My future belongs to the kingdom. I am no longer Ouji, Mana, I am Pharaoh now and accordingly I am Egypt. After that I have to feel and act. There is nothing more important than ruling the people of Egypt through the justice of the mate. "When he saw how awesome Mana was looking at him, he paused and smiled gently.
“Just keep talking. You sound so sublime. "she said with a grin.
"Why do you use you on me when we're alone and not in front of the courtyard?"
"Well just think of the rumors ... for me you are and will be Ouji!"
They both laughed and drove on with the sun boat towards the other side.
They would reach their destination tonight.

<Why? Why is this happening to me? I feel scared. Great fear that takes hold of my body and slowly gains the upper hand.Do I have to sink into the water? >
A black silhouette moved away from the fountain that stood in the sanctuary of Hathor and went to her bedchamber, from which she immediately stepped onto the balcony to observe the heavenly stars. It had always been the highest goal for their high culture "to build heaven on earth" - but only scholars in the doctrine of the stars understood this. Hathor's great body stretched out as the firmament and gave her a little security to counteract her fear soothed but not took, and tried to sleep knowing that the only way to increase fear is if you let it go.
Chons, the moon god, took her in his arms and rocked her gently, although she now had cursed blood in her veins. It was pointless poison that she found it difficult to suppress ...

The Pharaoh's sun barge reached the city of Elephantine. Why was the high priestess of Hathor staying here when she was baptized "Hathor of Dendera"?It was late in the night when the Pharaoh saw the small town. He finally wanted to do something about the snake around his ka, which is taking hold of him more and more. He hadn't wanted to tell Mana so as not to worry her, but the medicine wasn't working as well as it was when it was first used. If only he knew from what he was in such pain ...
He had left his official residence especially for this trip, but he knew that he could rule Egypt from anywhere.
Re took up the fight against the enemies of his boat and the god lowered his face until he could no longer be seen. The ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt was silent and prayed that he would wake up again ... just have to win the battle. He wondered what it must be like to have to fight every day.
The celestial stars looked down on the young Pharaoh and he didn't feel any more comfortable. The night was always something unpleasant, the shadows ate their way into the Ka of the wandering until only fear reigns.Fear that can turn into panic, then you see the craziest things. But he wasn't a little boy anymore.
Elephantine was a beautiful city where the joys of life were easy to indulge in. A huge temple had been erected far from the city center where the goddess Hathor was extolled. It had two large pylons and six mighty obelisks as an entrance gate and it shone really majestically in the weak evening light. The tiles of the temple were all made of turquoise stones and the pharaoh could still see a few cows, the sacred animals of the goddess, from his barge.
The city was equipped with simple houses in which the children played happily. Here and there he could see the old people relaxing in the shade of willows. The women and men were either still working or savoring the pleasure of this gentle evening. The desert sand was carried around in a gentle wind and the palm groves moved smoothly.The young ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt tasted a moment of happiness that was bestowed on him. What could be nicer than a quiet, peaceful country?
Simon and Isis appeared next to him.
“How are you, My Pharaoh? "asked Simon, worried.
"It's better, thanks for asking, but now let's leave for the temple. The healer is supposed to celebrate the necessary rites there. So we'll find them there," he ordered, telling himself that white lies about his health were allowed. Secretly he feared the wrath of the gods for his iniquity. He doesn't like to burden others with his problems.
They bowed briefly and ordered the servants to unload the luggage and follow them.
Mana happily hopped around next to Pharaoh. He forced a smile, but his mind was on the healer. By the eye of Horus! He wants to be able to live free of pain again!

The locals who saw them literally threw themselves in the dust in front of the ruler.“Pharaoh is here! "shouted those who saw him and the good news expanded into a festival. Then the young man went up to a citizen who already saw himself sublime in the afterlife. What an honor! He stopped briefly in front of him and stared at him in the brown eyes, the honorable craftsman almost collapsed under the pressure.
"Can you tell me how to get to the main gate of the Temple of Hathor?"
The man spun around and pointed excitedly at the temple.
“Always follow this road and then go over the dune. Behind the cows is the main town. ", he said in a strong voice. Pharaoh wanted to move on when the man still had something to tell him.
,, Um. However, the priestess said that no one should disturb her tonight. She would want to perform a secret ritual to preserve the herd of cows. "
“You will hardly have the nerve to reject the Pharaoh! ", he said sternly and the man was sorry again that he had said something.To fall out of favor with Pharaoh…. was there a worse lot?
When the Pharaoh saw the fearful expression in the craftsman's eyes, his features softened and he thought about it again.
“You need not be afraid. I thank you for teaching me. Keep being honest. ", he commanded." One more question. "
"Anytime, sir."
“What does she look like, this high priestess of Hathor? "He should have known, but this person was still hired by his father, Akunumkanon.
The craftsman became enthusiastic.
,,Oh. She is truly a beauty, Your Majesty. She has turquoise hair, the turquoise one
Paraiba tourmalines resemble, so much does it shine in all shades of color, and wild fire opals as eyeballs. Her clothes are always kept simple, but still graceful. Her walk is graceful, her look so full of pride and no man is not enchanted by her impetuous nature. "When he noticed how he was wandering, he stopped and blushed.He feared that he would become the mockery of the city for months.
The Pharaoh smiled boldly.
“Seems to be a very interesting personality. Thank you. ", he said and then moved towards the temple. He couldn't hide that he was looking forward to meeting this priestess even more.

,,What? The pharaoh left in his condition ?! "Seth was angry.
“As a righteous priest you do your job and Pharaoh goes into business for himself! "the young man let his anger run free by yelling at Mahaado and Karim.
“It's okay, Seth, nothing will happen to him, so you don't have to worry. "joked Mahaado.
“I'm not worried! I'm just angry! "Like a thunderstorm, the mood of the god of chaos and the desert rushed down on his long-time acquaintances. If you dare to upset him too much, he would burn his victims. His main place of worship is in Auaris, the cursed city of the Hyksos, where the temple is located of Seth was entered only by the bravest and the Pharaoh.Those who could not withstand his power would not come back.
Seth, the high priest with the ice-cold look, had rightly got his name. He was always in a bad mood and didn't believe in friendship or even love. Everyone is next to himself - was his motto in life and he only paid respect to the Pharaoh.
He had deep brown hair that fell wildly into his beautiful sea blue eyes. Lighter than sodalite, but darker than sapphires, these expressive eyes had feared many a lot. Seth was simply called to command.
His priest's robe was also medium blue and yellow, a pointed headgear that covered his ears with gold decorations, as well as long trousers and an equally long apron covered almost every piece of skin. Only his arms remained uncovered and gold bracelets, as was customary for people of high rank, had been wrapped around him. A large golden ankh adorned his strong chest and an equally golden cobra was emblazoned on his head.His millennium item was the millennium rod. It was rumored at court that he could use it to make people mindless.
Beside him stood Shada, a priest endowed with the ability to see into the kas of the people thanks to his Millennium Sankh. He wore a long, white linen robe made of fine silk and gold bracelets like sandals. Shada had a tattoo on his forehead that meant something to him. A stranger would think he did it to look more sublime.
He also had deep blue eyes and round gold earrings. His gaze was stern and brooked no contradiction.
All of Egypt - with the exception of the Pharaoh - showed awe of this duo. Whenever they went to "Ka-Fang" again, the people who had a guilty conscience preferred to hide in their homes. Shada and Seth's latest task was to find a suitable Ka that
