Prologue

Dusk had hit Earth and the sky was in all of its many colors. Everything was at rest, the bird's sing their selves to sleep and the rivers calmed. Everyone was asleep...except, one little boy.

Looking amongst the outskirts of his city, he was curious about what was beyond his home. So at the quietest hour, he left his home and started to wonder. Night had fallen and secret wonders started to glow, creatures of the night started to dance in all their glory. The boy watched them for afar, gazing at their dance and was amazed!

He ran down to join them in their ever so delightful dance, but being the young boy he is, he did not know or think of the dangers...

When he arrived to join them, the dancing stopped and the creatures started to stare at him. Young and curious, he didn't understand why they stopped so he just started to dance himself. They started to slowly approach him and poked him which made him giggle a bit. They didn't know if he was a threat like the other humans, so one of them asked him.

"Little boy, what are you doing here? Should you be asleep?"

He turned to them with a smile, saying to them "My mother told the world is a bad place, but it doesn't look bad!"

"..."

"And I'm not tired."

The creature chuckled and patted the boys head messing with his hair. "Well, then my friend, you're welcomed to dance with us as long as you want."

As they all danced and danced, the boy begun to grow tired. Slowly walking to a nearby river and laid there gazing at the water. The reflection of the moon's shine was calming and swayed with the water. He closed his eyes, embracing the silence. Listening to the whispers from woods to the singing winds. Until he fell asleep and gazed off into his world of imagination.

He awoke in an ocean of stars. He stood to look around but there was nothing but ocean...

A voice spoke telling him "Finally...you made it..." It was the voice of both man and woman. Their voice was slow and calming but yet familiar?

As the queer young boy, e asked the mysterious voice "Oh? And who are you? I can't see you." He spun around in circles to see if they would appear. They didn't. "Little boy, you do not need sight to truly see someone. Appearance is only something that distracts and hides someone." The boy was confused at first but then understood their words, which really told the truth. "And if you must really know, I have many names but call me رب (Rabi)."

"That's a cool name! I wish my name was as cool...I'm Deo." He said smiling.

"I know who you are, Deo. And I glad you made it." Deo could tell by the tone of their voice that they were smiling. But what he didn't understand was how do they know him and were they really waiting for him?

"So, Rabi, how do you know me?"

___________________________________________________________________

Dusk was only beginning in Egypt. But the winds had already arrived, waking the sand for a dance. The sand twirled and twirled. It was quite hypnotizing but in a calming way, not in a bad way. It was rather nice to see them dance, after all, it doesn't happen much. She could only watch from afar, in such awe, it would make her smile every now and then. She wishes she go outside but the answer was always the same...'you're only a little girl.'

She knew she could never go outside but it never stopped her. She has her ways of escaping the castle, she made tunnels only she could thorough and only she could get out. It was like a maze, it looks simple at first until you come back to the very beginning, luckily for her, she knew all the directions. Left...right...right...left...straight...left...right!

Fresh air she thought. And what a perfect time. Everyone was gone, in their homes to rest from a tiring day. She started to run out into the desert, skipping along the sand and dancing with the wind. She running too fast from the Nile...she was lost.

When she opened her eyes she didn't know where she was, in fact, it came to a point it was only sand and desert. She looked left and she looked right, she was definitely lost. But unlike other children when they're lost she doesn't cry for help instead she sees this as a chance...a chance to escape for good. In case you didn't know she wasn't just any child, she was the child of a Pharaoh. A princess, you could say.

So, she kept running...far and far away from the kingdom. Until she heard a voice. It was all around her, no, they were all around her. She could quite figure out if they were male or female they sounded like both. Instead of running tho, she stopped and clenched her fists.

"Who is there?! Show yourself, coward!" Her tone was more than aggressive, it was threatening as if she was going to kill them.

They chuckled. "Child, I am no threat to you. I'm just glad we meet at last." This rang many alarms in her head, she quickly moved into a fighting position, ready to attack. She heard footsteps coming closer and closer. When she saw them, they were not human, in fact, she had never seen anything like them.

They had long flowing hair that defied gravity and wore a blank robe that glowed bright than a thousand stars. But what caught her attention most was that they had no face but they still had eyes and they didn't even have skin by the looks. Their actual body was formed up with the stars in the night sky. They glowed ever so brightly but she still did not trust her.

"What is it you want, creature?!"

They covered their mouth with giggling and amusement. She bent down facing the little girl, which made her flinch and take a step back.

"I only want to be your friend."

That didn't sound promising to her and didn't help her calm down at the least. Out of nowhere, the little girl struck a fist at them and went completely berserk. They were a little surprised and simply pushed her back with their palm. She was only a child and they were much bigger than her, so she wasn't really a threat but they didn't want her to drain all her energy. So, they magically tied her up and placed her down on a nearby rock.

"Let's start over! I am Θεός (Theόs). I am not a creature but I am...a god, let's say." The entity sat down in front of the girl with smiling eyes.

"Who are you?" They asked.

The girl looked at them with a confused face. But still didn't answer the question.

"Are you...going to rape me?"

"W-what?!" TheÏŒs screamed. How could a young girl even think of such a thing! Well... I mean...she is tied up...in the middle of nowhere.

"Why would I...*sigh*...No, I am not going to rape you, touch you or anything of the sort. I just want to make a friend." They said, bluntly.

"Fine. I am Tiya, princess of Egypt."

"What a fitting name. You look like one, too." There was an uncomfortable moment of silence with TheÏŒs just staring at Tiya.

"Could you please untie me?"

"Ah! Yes. Sorry, Tiya."
