Chapter 3 - Children of the prideful part 3

The Baron and the King of Hell

Far off from the kingdom of Pharaoh Psamtik the third, sits the Guédé family of Loa, Baron Samedi.

The Baron sits within the city of the dead in Egypt.

The Baron is wearing a top hat, black tailcoat and has face painting that resembles a skull.

The Baron sits on a throne and is enjoying some rum and a cigar.

The Baron suddenly feels a chill down his spine.

The Baron looked in front and saw someone that could be mistaken for perfection itself.

" I don't know if I should bow or pour a drink, since the King of hell himself has paid me a visit " said the Baron.

Ibliss looked at Baron Samedi with a smile on his face.

" Just be thankful that my wife did not come to see you " said Ibliss.

" Oh, but I would have been honored to meet the Queen of hell, Lilith herself " said the Baron.

" She would have killed you where you sit, or perhaps you have forgotten that you are the one who is attacking our children " said Ibliss.

The Baron just smiled.

" Those children of yours are very clever, especially Luke " said the Baron.

Ibliss smiled.

" Would you believe that I once had Luke rule over all of hell for one day, he did such a perfect job that nobody (not even God) noticed that I was gone for that whole day, and that was when Luke was only six months old " said Ibliss.

The Baron just emptied his glass of rum.

" Out of curiosity, what were you doing that day your son ruled over hell " said the Baron.

Ibliss just looked at the Baron.

" Did it have anything to do with the Anunnaki? " said the Baron but Ibliss just smiled.

" So why don't you just ask what you come to ask " said the Baron.

" Why provoke my children? " said Ibliss.

" Because I thought that they would bring the most fun, and boy was I right " said the Baron with a smile.

" I see " said Ibliss.

Ibliss then started to walk away.

" Send my regards to that beautiful Queen of yours " said the Baron.

" Tell her yourself when she drags you down to hell " said Ibliss.

Ibliss then returned to his kingdom and the Baron just emptied another glass of rum.

The lord of sunshine and the Pharaoh of Egypt

" You know sis, call me crazy but has the Pharaoh and Meryamun not spent a lot of time together " said Luke.

" They sure have, I think that they have taken the role of father and son quite literally " said Lucy.

" Well, that is for the best " said Luke.

" What do you think that they are doing? " said Lucy.

" Most likely studying or playing Sénet " said Luke.

" Yeah, and here we are just passing the time in one of springs in Kharga " said Lucy.

" Speak for yourself, I am enjoying myself, these springs are truly magical " said Luke.

" Yeah... this spring can almost compensate for not having sex " said Lucy.

Luke just looked at his sister.

" So! This is where the two of you have been " said a voice.

Luke and Lucy looked and saw James in front of them.

" Hey James, come and join us " said Lucy.

" Not a chance, have the two of you forgotten that we have to do more studying " said James.

" You know, it says in the bible that one must only work 6 days in a week, the 7th day is a holy day, where one relaxes " said Luke with a smile.

" Nice try, using what I have taught you against me, but as the three of us know, both of you (Luke and Lucy) are unholy creatures " said James.

" No need to go that far " said Lucy.

" Alright, I went to far, I am sorry " said James.

" Apology accepted, now hop on in " said Luke.

" As I said, not a chance, now get dressed so we can learn about the book of Enoch " said James.

" How about we make a deal? " said Luke with a smile.

James looked at Luke.

" What deal? " said James.

" If you can get Lucy to get out of the hot spring in under 2 minutes then I promise that we will learn everything and anything you teach us without complaining " said Luke.

James looked over at Lucy and saw that Lucy was completely lost in the hot spring.

" And what if I can't? " said James.

" Then you will leave me and my sister alone for three months " said Luke with a grin.

James looked at Luke for a couple of seconds, James then said

" Deal "

Luke got a surprised look on his face.

" Really? I thought for sure that you would not take the deal….. well whatever, you still have to get Lucy out of the hot spring without the use of force " said Luke.

" I don't need any force " said James with a smile.

Luke started to sweat a bit.

James then looked at Lucy, James then said

" Hey Lucy, I heard that there was someone in the kingdom who is willing to have sex with you "

Lucy jumped out of the hot spring and then ran towards the kingdom, while being completely naked.

Luke just looked at James.

" That was a low blow even for you " said Luke.

James just smiled, James then said

" Get ready to learn about the Gutenberg Bible "

Luke sighed.

Luke then got out off the hot spring.

The boy of the sky and the man of the earth

" Now then everyone, have each of you found your favorite quote that describes God (or for some) gods, I will tell you all one of my own favorites " You are great, O Lord, and greatly to be praised: great is your power and to your wisdom there is no limit. And man, who is a part of your creation, wishes to praise you…. You arouse him to take joy in praising you, for you have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you " - St.Augustine " said James.

" All things are possible, who you are is limited by who you think you are " said Meryamun.

" Ah, one from the book of the dead " said James.

" What I hate is ignorance, smallness of Imagination, the eye that sees no farther than its own lashes. All things are possible. Who you are is limited only by who you think you are " said Pharaoh Psamtik.

" Another one from the book of the dead " said James.

" For the lord your God in your midst is a jealous God-Lest the anger of the lord your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth (- Deuteronomy 6:15) " said Lucy.

James just looked at Lucy and Lucy was just smiling.

" Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? (-Proverbs 27:4) " said Luke, and everyone just looked at Luke.

Later.

" So bro…. what was up with your quote? " said Lucy.

" What do you mean? " said Luke.

" I just expected you to pick another quote is all " said Lucy.

" Like, 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 " said Luke.

" Yeah, something like that " said Lucy.

" Just forget it, let us focus on our challenger " said Luke.

Lucy looked in front and saw the challenger.

" Who the hell is that? " said Lucy.

" That is Takyayen, the son of Gaygayoma " said Amun.

" Hmm, so who should be his opponent " said Lucy with a smile.

" Janus, bring Samson " said Luke.

Lucy looked at her brother.

" Samson?? Why bring Samson? " said Lucy.

" Samson is compared to Alcaeus and Enkidu " said Luke.

" I know that! But why would you bring Samson to fight this Takyayen? " said Lucy.

" Why not? " said Luke.

Lucy thought about it for a moment.

" Fair enough " said Lucy.

A portal opened and out walked Samson.

" Why, welcome, great Samson " said Luke with a smile.

Samson looked at Luke and Lucy, Samson then said

" Prince and Princess of hell…. "

" Damn right! " yelled Lucy.

" Just take care of the person before you and then you can leave " said Luke.

Samson looked at Takyayen.

Samson then walked over to Takyayen.

Samson and Takyayen were now face to face.

" I am really sorry about this, I do hope that you can forgive me " said Samson.

" Think nothing of it, I just hope that it is not going to rain " said Takyayen.

" Rain? " said Samson.

It then started to rain.

" Rain in Egypt, that is rare " said Lucy.

" Yeah and the sun is still shining brightly " said Luke.

" I do apologize " said Takyayen but Samson was just confused.

Samson and Takyayen then bumped fists and so the battle began, while it was raining and the sun was still shining.

The battle lasted for about two hours and to Luke's and Lucy's surprised, the battle was a draw.

" A draw, that is a first " said Lucy.

Samson and Takyayen both laid on the wet sand.

" Now that was fun " said Samson.

" Indeed, I always enjoy visiting the earth, I do hope that we can do this again some other time " said Takyayen.

" I will pray for that as well " said Samson.

Takyayen then vanished into dust, and the moment Takyayen vanished, so did the rain as well.

Samson got back up and walked towards Luke and Lucy.

Luke, Lucy and Samson said nothing, all that happened was a portal opened and in walked Samson.

Samson disappeared and Luke and Lucy were standing under the bright light of the sun, wet.

Children of the dragon

" Hey, did you guys know that there about 200 Egyptian deities " said Lucy.

" 200? I thought there was 500 " said Luke.

" 500? I recall that there being about 800 " said Meryamun.

" Thank God for there being only one God " said James.

Later.

" Hey bro, can we change things this time around " said Lucy.

" What do you have in mind? " said Luke.

Luke looked at Lucy and Lucy was smiling.

" Oh THAT, sure we can do THAT " said Luke with a smile.

" Yes! " said Lucy.

" Uhm, what is THAT, you two are talking about " said Janus.

" You will see " said Luke.

There were now two challengers before Luke and Lucy.

The challengers walked up to Luke and Lucy.

The challenges were now face to face with Luke and Lucy.

" I am known as Vili " said Vili.

" And I am known as Vé, who is to be our opponent " said Vé.

Luke and Lucy stood before Vili and Vé.

" We are your opponents " said Luke with a smile.

Vili and Vé both looked down at the small children.

Vili and Vé then both started to laugh.

" That was a good one child but really, where is our opponent and know that we have slain giants " said Vili.

" And what about dragons? " said Lucy.

" Perhaps, dragons are no different than giants and thus no match for us " said Vé.

Luke and Lucy both smiled.

" We will see about THAT " said Luke.

Luke and Lucy then both started to transform.

Luke and Lucy both started to grow in size, a tail could be seen on both of them, wings, claws, fangs, horns and scales could now also be seen.

After a few seconds, Luke and Lucy had both transformed into dragons.

Vili and Vé looked up at the red eyes of the dragons in front of them.

" What? Jacob is not the only one who can transform into a dragon " said Lucy, now a dragon.

" We are after all, the children of the dragon " said Luke also a dragon.

Vili and Vé both smiled.

" Then there is nothing left to be said " said Vé.

" Let all that can be heard now be the sound of battle " said Vili.

With that, the battle between Vili and Vé with the now two dragons Luke and Lucy began.

The battle lasted minutes and in the end, Luke and Lucy roasted Vili and Vé into ash but Vili and Vé disappeared with smiles on their faces.

Luke and Lucy turned back into their human forms.

" Man, it has been a while since we transformed " said Lucy.

" Yeah, it was nice stretching our wings, we should do that more often " said Luke.

" Really? " said Lucy.

" We will see. Hey guys, what was it like being inside a dragon " said Luke.

" As expected, it was a new experience " said Janus.

" Now this is what I signed up for " said Amun.

Both Luke and Lucy smiled, Luke and Lucy then walked back to the kingdom.

Sir Consteentine

" Hey Meryamun " said Lucy.

" Yes? " said Meryamun.

" Set killed Osiris, right? " said Lucy.

" Yes " said Meryamun.

" Set then chopped up his brothers body into many pieces " said Lucy.

" Yes… " said Meryamun.

" Isis then tried to put her husband back to normal " said Lucy.

" Yes... " said Meryamun.

" But Isis was missing one piece… what piece was that? " said Lucy with a smile.

" ... Oh you mean his pen but before Meryamun could finish, James caught Meryamun off.

" THAT is enough of that " said James while glaring at Lucy.

" Well played sis, well played " said Luke.

Lucy was just smiling.

Later.

" Bro, this is starting to be not so fun anymore " said Lucy.

" I know, but hang in there, I have a feeling that this is one of the last ones, and it is an interesting one " said Luke with a smile.

Lucy looked and saw a knight.

" Whom in the bloody hell is he? " said Lucy.

Luke looked at his sis.

" That is the knight and King, Vortigern, he is one of the ancient kings of Britain, he is also known as the superbus tyrannus " said Amun.

" Should we bring Sir Tristan to fight Vortigern, and that reminds me, did Sir Tristan not die in the original stories, how is he alive in this one? " said Lucy.

" Sir Tristram de Lyones, did Indeed die in the original stories, but he is alive in this one, because, before Sir Tristan's onkel, King Mark could kill Sir Tristan, Sir Lancelot had heard about King Mark's evil plan, Sir Lancelot then killed King Mark and then saved Sir Tristan's life, Sir Tristan is now King of all Lyonesse (succeeding his father, King Meliodas) and his Queen is his beloved Le Bel Isolde, but I have someone else in mind to fight King Vortigern, Janus, bring Sir Consteentine " said Luke.

A portal opened and out walked one of the knights of King Madoc, Sir Consteentine.

" Mercy be with the lord, where am I? " said Sir Consteentine.

Sir Consteentine looked at Luke and Lucy.

" Dear children, do either one of you perhaps know where I am? " said Sir Consteentine.

" Let us give this one more shot, great sir knight we- but before Luke could finish, Sir Consteentine said

" Worry not children, for I am now here and I shall protect you "

Luke and Lucy just shrug their shoulders.

Sir Consteentine walked towards Vortigern.

The two knights were now face to face.

" I am Sir Consteentine, a knight of the court of King Madoc Pendragon " said Sir Consteentine.

" I am not only a knight but I am also a King, and my name is Vortigern " said Vortigern.

Sir Consteentine knew immediately who is opponent was.

" May this fight be fair and just " said Sir Consteentine.

Vortigern smiled.

The two knights then did battle.

The battle was short but during that short time many magnificent deeds of arms were shown, and in the end, Sir Consteentine was the one victories.

Vortigern laid on the hot sand and Sir Consteentine was standing over him.

" Tell me something, is Britain in good hands? " said Vortigern.

" Britain could not be in better hands, for she is in the hands of King Madoc Pendragon " said Sir Consteentine with a smile.

" I see…. " said Vortigern.

Vortigern then turned into dust.

Sir Consteentine then walked over to Luke and Lucy.

" Dear children, may I now return to Camelot " said

Sir Consteentine with a smile.

" You may, and I must commend you on a marvelous battle, Sir Consteentine " said Luke.

A portal opened and in walked Sir Consteentine, and then vanished.

" It seems that his original story has also changed " said Lucy.

Luke smiled, Luke and Lucy then walked back to the kingdom.

The Persians once more

Within the throne of Pharaoh Psamtik the third.

Pharaoh Psamtik was sitting on his throne, looking a little sad.

" Hey, Pharaoh, what's with the long face? " said Lucy.

" My people and my kingdom have known peace for some time now, and that is not thanks to my deeds but the deeds of you two, Luke and Lucy, I feel that I am not worthy of sitting on this throne " said Pharaoh Psamtik.

Luke looked at Pharaoh Psamtik.

" Believe me when I say, that you do deserve to sit on that throne " said Luke.

Pharaoh Psamtik looked at Luke with surprised look on his face.

" Don't look so surprised, when we got Egypt back for you and killed all the Persians, you could have easily stepped down as Pharaoh and made Meryamun Pharaoh but you knew that Meryamun is still a child and not yet ready to be Pharaoh, so you decided to remain the Pharaoh (despite the fact that you were hated by some) you still choose to take on all that hate and continued to be Pharaoh, and now, your people respect and admire you for that " said Luke.

Pharaoh Psamtik was speechless.

" He is right " said Meryamun.

Psamtik smiled and then patted both Luke's, Lucy's and Meryamun's heads.

" All I pray for now, is that this friendship of ours lasts till the end of time " said Pharaoh Psamtik.

" Count on it " said Luke and Meryamun and Lucy smiled.

A guard then ran into the throne room.

" My Pharaoh, I have terrible news, the Persians are attacking, again " said the guard.

Luke looked at Psamtik.

" Are you going to let your people be slaughtered or are you going to protect them " said Luke.

Psamtik looked at Luke, Psamtik then got up from his throne and then said

" Ready my army "

" Yes sire " said the guard.

The guard then ran out of the throne room.

" Now, don't let yourself be defeated by cats again " said Lucy.

" I swear, even if the enemy use cats against me and my people, not only will I kill all the cats but I will also slaughter all the Persians with them, and the day I stand before the gods, then shall I receive my judgment " said Psamtik.

" Well said " said Luke.

Psamtik then walked out of the throne room, ready for war.

" Should we help? " said Lucy.

" I don't think that will be necessary " said Luke.

" Indeed, the Pharaoh got this " said Meryamun and Lucy just smiled.

Later.

Pharaoh Psamtik was with his Egyptian army, and all of them were on chariots, and before them was the Persian army led by Bardiya.

" It seems that the younger brother of Cambyses the second has come for revenge, and he and his Persians are covered in cats, what shall we do, my Pharaoh " said one of the Egyptian soldiers.

" Kill all the Persians and the cats with them but if a cat is able to get away, then leave it be, but if a cat is in your way, then kill it and the Persian with it " said Pharaoh Psamtik the third.

" Are you sure my lord? " said the Egyptian soldier.

" Worry not, for whatever happens, I shall take full responsibility " said Pharaoh Psamtik the third.

" Very well, my Pharaoh " said the Egyptian soldier with a smile.

Pharaoh Psamtik the third raised his sword, and then said

" My fellow Egyptians, we failed once, so let us now redeem ourselves! " yelled Pharaoh Psamtik the third.

All of the Egyptians cheered.

Bardiya drew forth his sword.

" Persians! These are the Egyptian svines who killed my brother and our fellow Persians, now let us now get our revenge! " yelled Bardiya.

All of the Persians cheered.

The Persian and Egyptian army now charged towards one another, after a few seconds, the two armies met on the battlefield.

Both Egyptian and Persian men were killed, and sadly, even some cats.

At first, it seemed that the Persian army was going to win but at the last second, the Egyptian army come out victories and it was Pharaoh Psamtik the third who killed Bardiya.

The Egyptians cheered out loud, for they had redeemed themselves this day.

The Pharaoh and his army returned to their home where a party was held, let us just say, that a lot of Basbousa was consumed that day.

Later, at night.

Luke and Lucy were both outside one of the gardens near the inner castle.

" Are you going to throw up again? " said Luke.

" No…'gulp'.... I can keep it in this time " said Lucy who was about to throw up from eating a lot of Basbousa.

" Lady Lucy, I warned you about eating all that dessert " said Janus.

" Forget it, she stopped listening to us after her 5th plate " said Amun.

Luke sighed.

The sound of someone walking could then be heard, and Baron Samedi was now before Luke and Lucy.

" I see that it was not you who sendt Bardiya and his Persian army after the Pharaoh " said Luke.

" Indeed, call it a result from your own actions " said the Baron.

" So what happened, why have you not send anyone " said Luke.

" I have decided to take a vacation, so I will be going away for awhile " said the Baron.

" Fine " said Luke.

Baron Samedi then started to walk away.

" Oh, and before I leave, I must say, that you two are very fun to play with " said the Baron with a smile.

" Right back at you " said Luke with a smile.

The Baron then vanished.

" Enjoy your vacation " said Luke.

" Oh no, I can't hold it back anymore " said Lucy who then threw up.

Luke sighed yet again.

Within the kingdom of Ibliss.

" I can't wait to see your next adventure, my dear children " said Ibliss with a smile.

Lilith then ran up to Ibliss.

" Ibliss! Ibliss! It is a letter, our children have sendt us a letter! " said Lilith.

Ibliss sighed and then smiled.
