shell, the deity needed protection that would allow her to defend herself without revealing her true self. With a skilful cut she ran over the prince's upper arm and gently pressed the wound.
The eyes of the young heir to the throne widened suddenly and he let out a loud cry of pain. However, he had not forgotten the words of the young woman and for some reason he did not understand he trusted her.The white-haired woman rinsed the wound one more time with water and then sucked the poison out of the noble's veins. He couldn't have guessed that she herself was immune to it. "Are you crazy? You will poison yourself!", He said horrified and felt how his sea power and his sense of balance increased again. When the woman let go of him, she wiped the blood from her lips and looked at him. "I've been in contact with snake venom many times, my prince. I'm immune to it, thanks to my grandfather's healing abilities." This time, too, a clever lie occurred to her, which the young man immediately believed. Then she tore off a piece of her skirt and used it to bandage the injured man's arm. The wound burned and hurt very much, but the Prince of Egypt was by no means squeamish. “Let the wound heal well and be careful not to let it come into contact with dirt or it will become infected.” With that, she stood up and wrenched out her wet hair."How can I thank you?" Asked the young prince and sat up carefully, still swaying slightly, feeling the side effects of the poison. The woman just looked at him, shaking her head and stomped out of the water. “You don't need that.” She turned her back to him and wanted to go, but Atemu held the girl's arm. "Wait, Anuket.", He asked and looked at her. “You said your grandfather passed away, right?” She nodded. "Then I ask you, as a reward for the salvation of my life, a room in the palace. In Cairo there are hardly any vacant houses and your powers definitely need to be trained and trained, because they are incredibly strong." He couldn't know who was standing in front of him and who he was trying to get into the palace. Anuket swallowed. If she said no, she would give herself away, because no normal person would have turned down such an opportunity. She thought for a moment and then nodded."It would be my honor.", She replied and closed her eyes for a moment.
In the end, this thought didn't seem so bad to her. At least she had the opportunity to keep an eye on her people and to watch over them as well as possible for the duration of their stay on earth. As was customary, her life on earth was limited to twenty days before she would return to the kingdom of the gods. And what better place could she imagine than the Pharaoh's court, where she sat right at the roots of the land and could watch everything with her watchful eyes.
