| Serket (ancient Egypt) |
Horus been drifting in an out of sleep. He faintly remembers a woman taking care of him, feeding him some sort of weird herbal soup.
Horus finally woke up, with a clear head. Horus took a look around him, he was in a room, sleeping on a bed, there was a table in the middle of the room. Horus sat up. There was a piece of cloth tied around his injured leg. Horus removed the cloth, there was some form of green gel herb at the inside of the cloth. Horus climb out of bed and walked to the outside of the room and reached a large courtyard. Horus took a look around. Horus was still pretty weak and fell down. A woman that was returning to Horus’ room, quickly came to help Horus to his feet and back into the room and onto the bed.
“You are still really weak. You shouldn’t walk around.” The woman said
“Where am I?” Horus asked
“Somewhere safe.” The woman replied
She starts putting green gal upon a new piece of cloth.
“How long have I been here?” Horus asked
“You’ve been drifting in and out for three days.” The woman said
“You’ve been taking care of me.” Horus said
“It's my job, you are my patient.” The woman replied
“You are a witch doctress?” Horus asked
The woman smiled “Your leg, the arrow that shot it was dip is scorpion poison.” The woman said. The woman looks young, probably in her late teens to early twenties.
“Thank you.” Horus said
“You are most welcome.” The woman said as she went to sat by Horus bed and started rapping the new piece of cloth with green gal around his leg.
“How rude of me, I still haven’t asked you for your identity, yet.” Horus apologized and said
“My name is Serket.” The woman replied
“Miss Serket, thank you for saving my life.” Horus said, trying to sit up
Serket was quick to get Horus to lie down “You need to rest” Serket said
“I am Horus.” Horus said
“You must be very important. They send an entire platoon to rescue you.” The woman said
“I don’t know whether I am important enough. I saw people died that day.” Horus replied
“Whatever you did, it got Seth angry. He sends an entire company of two hundred and fifty soldiers to capture you, with three members of the twenty-four elders.” The woman said
“You mean those men in black robe” Horus asked
“They are called the twenty-four elders. They answer directly to Seth.” The woman said
“They say the commanders of the twenty-four elders, are crazy as hell. One looked like a lion, another look like an ox, the third look like a human and the fourth look like an eagle. They each got six wings and eyes all around even under the wings. Their Lieutenant General look even stranger, it is said he looked like a lamb with seven horn and seven eyes.” Serket said “I am certain these are just rumors, but makes you think doesn’t it? You must be pretty good to take them on and won.”
“I wouldn’t say I won, just manage to survive.” Horus said “But if they are supposed to be the most elite. I would have expected their standard to be even higher.”
“Well, they say the army of Seth spend more time, sucking up to Seth, then actually training. I’ve seen it many times. ‘Holy, holy holy is the lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come’ the officers of Seth would praise Seth saying and then the soldiers would get down on their knees and worship Seth saying ‘You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things and by your will they were created and have their being.’ Crazy Seth, the old fool is losing his mind, making his soldiers worship him as a god and not just any god, but one and only true god. He claims all other gods are evil demonic false god pretending to be god, the demonic challenger of Seth’s rule.” The woman laughed
“But maybe that is why you are able to take on three of his elite forces and survive. None of Seth’s soldiers are up to the supposed to be standard, due to spending at least half their day, been brainwashed by pro Seth propaganda and literally worshiping and praising Seth as the one and only true god.” The woman said
“Seth meant business, he got multiple companies of soldiers on this case, one company of soldiers in each city, accompanied by three soldiers sent from the twenty-four elders. Whoever you are, Seth want to capture you badly.” The woman said
“How did you know I will be showing up in this city?” Horus asked
“We didn’t, your friend did. The woman, with pale milky skin and blond hair.” Serket said
“Hathor?” Horus asked
“I think that is her name. I am not clear.” Serket said “But she is still here if you want to meet her. She never left. I didn’t let her in the last few days. Because your condition was critical. But now, I can let her visit. She been asking to see you. She is really worried.”
Horus smiled “Hathor, she is too kind.” He said
“I’ll go fetch her.” Serket said
***
Hathor entered the room. She was wearing a plan white robe and cover her head with a scarf.
“Hi.” Hathor smiled
“Hey, I didn’t expect to see you again.” Horus said
“You don’t think that you can get rid of me that, easily right?” Hathor smiled and said
Horus smiled
“When I heard they are going after the person that is collecting the corps of Osiris, I know you will be in trouble. So, I went to find Neith, which turns out got connections with people that can help you. You can blame Resheph and his team. It didn’t occur to them, to try to create a fake piece of Osiris’ corps, as replacement. So, every time they stole a piece of Osiris’ corps, the corps went missing, when Seth heard of it, he is furious.” Hathor said
“What about Resheph and his team? Are they alright?” Horus asked
“They are fine. They got intel from their informer within Seth’s camp. They did send people to try find you. But, none of them could. I remember you got a good relationship with the Prefect of Esna, so I went to ask him for help. The Prefect of Esna doesn’t dare to help you, he got soldiers of Seth station there, guarding that piece of fake corps of Osiris, awaiting your return and three men send from the twenty-four elders with them. But it turns out, Neith got the right connection. She asks me, whether I know which city state would you be showing up next and with only three real piece of Osiris’ corps left, it became easy to pinpoint your location, consider I know your trade route.” Hathor said
A little while later, Serket return to the room “You should let Horus rest.” Serket said
“Alright,” Hathor said and left the room.
After leaving the room, Hathor took off her head scarf, underneath it, her blond hair has been cut to a mess with many parts been bold. That is how she pay for her journey into Egypt. She cut her hair and sold it for money.
Horus finally woke up, with a clear head. Horus took a look around him, he was in a room, sleeping on a bed, there was a table in the middle of the room. Horus sat up.
