Chapter 50 - Skelipur (Xerxes)

Haaa…..poor father, he always liked to get too nosey of my personal life and womanizing that in my irritation I cut his throat with the bread knife. Mother was shocked that she slapped me and in turn went insane when I ordered my guards to lock her in her room for weeks just to shut her up and to treat me nicer like her real son.

Yes I am an adopted child since birth. I tried to search for my true parents or family but to no luck I lost count of the days, weeks, years, not being able to find them. Not even a single trace of a blood relative in Persia. I am so pissed of this nation that Persia came to be greater than Egypt or Greece, Rome or Asia. Haaa…..what does Rome or Greece has that Persia hasn't, that it couldn't get what it wants, like power, fame or recognition, praise from the world?

Lord Skelepur!!!, The messenger said that Hydra and her army has gone back to Egypt. She defeated our skas along with our bo-ne-rats. What shall we do, sir?, a smart ska came dragging his leg and fixing it since he tumbled down the ravel pavement floor while running towards the Evil Lord. He was running after his skeleton head rolling off and stopping in front of Skelepur with his dreaded, ugly and melting foot seizing the decapitated boney head, which the eyes have loosened.

Ahhh…..Man-drik! You fool! Take this despicable head of yours, right this minute and give me an update about that irritating general and Henshupta, who I wanted to pulverize the moment I saw her ugly face and annoying sense of pride! Fighting her again and killing her will be the ultimate goal for me now. Eating her heart is the greatest reward I need to do as soon as possible. My victory won't be complete if that nuisance of a woman isn't dead. She is actually so dead to me now I can feel her blood dripping down my spine, if I had a spine, Haha!.

The gods of the dead wish her annihilated, so I'm just following orders! She is such a menace, the gods are so jealous and irritated by her insolence, beauty and cunningness! You will be mine, pharaoh, Khons! Ha..ha..hahahahahahahaahah, bwahahahaha!!!

Men, women of the moon, dying for the throne is my ultimate desire since it's for our people, our loves and for Egypt. If you want to live for eternity, follow me.

To the death!!!!, Henshupta cried out loud after striding her way up the podium to speak in front of thirty thousand troops consists of the army with the soldiers holding different types of armory such as bow & arrows, javelins, and the all kinds of blades ( like khopesh, spears, battle axes, slings, daggers, titanium swords, etc.) chariotry, navy and warrior or foot soldiers proudly lifted their weapons one by one, so eager to charge and die for their queen, for their people, for Egypt.

Generals Gyasi Om of Chariotry and General Omari Amne of the Egyptian navy called out their troops. And one by one, dark valiant men, women wearing belts, loin cloths and arm, waist of leather and head bands to protect their sensitive parts appeared before their leaders prepared, sweating, stretching their muscle toned torsos, arms and limbs while waiting for the order to run, disperse and kill some slow and some fast walkers, ghosts and bone zombies called skas.

Henshu was saying something about bravery when a ska's bone hit one of her soldiers right in front of her, the soldiers blood spitted all over her face and armor that she paused for a bit in surprise but her anger fused up to her head….

That a sad flashback came over her…Hekanefer, saved her and she found him charging in front of a Persian soldier when the enemy was about to cut her head off. Hekanefer blocked the eager murderer and stroke her beloved's side of his neck that automatically killed him. Hekanefer was able to give Henshu a slight smile when he went down. Henshu was shocked but as soldier's instinct she shoved her sword to the culprits throat and pulled it out which made blood and water gush out to his death.

Henshu alarmingly dropped her sword and pulled Hekanefer to her care. He was still breathing but so heavy that he couldn't speak and even if he wanted to, he is already coughing blood all over.

Ssshhhh!!! Stop talking! It's alright, I'll get help and you'll be alright! Your son daughter still needs you, Heka!, I added

Henshu, my queen, pharaoh, you are the moon god, Xerxes or whatever his name is, is no match for you. You are the powerful ruler of Egypt. The sole reason why I fell in love with in the first place. My queen, the queen of my heart, I think this is goodbye, for now! I thank the gods for giving me the chance to know you. You are a once in a lifetime woman, Henshu. Always remember that you are beautiful and what makes you different, is this!, Hekanefer cried placing his palm on to the queen's chest, breathing shallow and slower now, like catching every ounce of air he can to stay alive. Your heart is your best weapon. The most powerful weapon to use against evil, against Skelepur! I…ahhh erhh…ha..haaaa…haaaa….lo…vvv..eee…..yo…uuuu, Henshu!!!

No, Heka….aerrhhh….ahh, ahhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh!!!! Not again, not his time!!!!, Henshu cried out, crying, looking at the heavens as if asking for an explanation from the gods. Jardin-Ur, General Ami, her dad Anhemnotep and more has died…For what, for nothing, for greed, power and because of a cold and heartless king, ruler, Xerxes!!!!

I wanted to curse the gods, to hate and become cold just like Xerxes or the many rulers, kings, queens that came before me. I wanted to kill each and every ska, Persian, Skelepur and drink his dirty blood even if its poison just to avenge my love ones' death. I am willing to sell my soul to the god of death and the underworld to have my revenge.

As soon as my eyes are about to turn black, thus, blood started dripping outside my eyelids. I'm turning to some kind of a monster, maybe just like Skelepur but subtler.
