A scientist and philanthropist named Ptolemy who is closest to Queen Henshu and Hydra invented a motor due to his love for astronomy and mathematics. A combination of molecules and hydro-powered engine was made from his enthusiasm to please the Queen and make the general happy in using his product, but he has one problem on this machine. It will emit carbon monoxide and will definitely create havoc on nature or air pollution. Ptolemy, for fear of being humiliated and defeated, he kept the bad effects of his invention a secret. He presented the idea to the queen and the general that made them glad he was there to save Egypt and the rest of the world from trade and war issues. Little did the kingship knows of the destruction his invention will cause them and the future generations lives in the end.
Ptolemy was made vizier to Egypt and built his ships that are engine powered a success. He even made one prototype which can fly at a short distance of 50 feet. Sabah and General Hydra even helped him test the ships and flying machine called Giza. It still needs some test and will be perfected which is tried by Princess Jau.
Egypt has added great inventions that has been very useful for Egypt and the world all through- out their generation and the next. The negative effects of the engine powered ships where never mentioned and kept secret but it spread it's havoc like a plague not only in Egypt but in many parts of Asia and the world little by little.
Hydra tried to drive the Giza and started the engine. Ptolemy spent his days and nights to experiment on how the wings and propellers can be used to fly a ship. He tried a smaller boat, then a fishing boat and the Queen's war ship to bring it to fly. He was able to do so with a 100 feet boat and flew a couple of miles and at about 250 feet above the ground.
With Giza Ptolemy hasn't figure out the height and weight if the 100 feet ship would fly or maneuver well with the rudder, wheel and propeller which he placed at the back near the anchor's corner.
Here we go, wish me luck! Hydra said while Henshu and Jaur watches the launch. Wait Hydra, I'll join you! Haha!, Jaur insisted and ran towards the ledge almost sliding off the rails but successfully making it. Phew!!!!
Haha, here we go!!!
Grrr…..grrr…..the propeller turned clockwise and started to work. At first Ptolemy is crossing his fingers then the motor worked faster and faster. Ptolemy called the motor, "engine" from the word ingenuity.
The ship moved from side to side then slowly running forward. Hydra swerved the wheel to the right that the ship hit the gutter and worked her way on the left then led the ship up smoothly.
Easy, easy, there we go! Good work baby!!!, Hydra shouting happily. Then, Ptolemy shouted, great! And jumped for joy seeing his invention working splendidily.
Henshu, Ptolemy, Sabah, Meraek and everybody jumped excitedly when Ptolemy's invention is now flying at about 500 feet above the ground and scouting the villages of Egypt around.
Ptolemy thought that if he will use fossil fuel for the engine, he might as well try to improvise and make alternatives such as used olive oil and pump the excess out through the fields as soil fertilizer.
It worked and now Egypt can make use of used oils and Henshu ordered the city to place the used cooking oils on containers and the palace guards would claim them every Sundays. Every citizen who will give out a gallon of used oil will be given a silver coin in return.
Jaur is having fun flying the ship with Hydra. She is seeing the sky and mountains for the first time.
Wow!!!, it's so amazing…I now love flying. Hydra make this thing fly faster and make it move higher and higher….
Yes! But this is as far as I can fly it! Ha, ha! I replied laughing hard while maneuvering the wheel and the ship swerved left and right, up and down like a bird enjoying the clouds and wind aainst its wings.
Yahahaha! Haha!, I love it so much I don't want to leave!, Jaur added laughing hard.
Thank you Hydra! I really had a great time!, Jaur added jumping up and down while whistling happily away from the general, Queen Henshu, Ptolemy, Sabah and Meraek. They were all looking at the girl with enthusiasm.
Hydra walked towards Henshu and Ptolemy with all smiles.
I really had an amazing time flying your ship! It is a wonderful invention, thank you for the experience, Doctor!
Ptolemy just smiled and nodded agreeing with the general while hugging her. Hydra tapped the doctors back and congratulated each other for the first flight was indeed a success.
Queen Henshu breathed as if things are going well. Jaur went straight ahed to E-Bar and met with Elina for a drink.
They talked about her flying time with Hydra and the ball they attended together at the palace. Now, Jaur wanted to make sure that everything will be fine in her upcoming birthday celebration at the palace.
Yes and it's been there years since she trained, jousted and been in the world where she assumed she's on the throne leading Egypt as queen, pharaoh and leader of the most powerful city in the world this era.
Hurray! Hurray! For Pharaoh Jaur, Queen of Egypt. Hurray, hurra!, she smiled while the people are calling, praising her name wearing expensive clothing with all the gold and silver trimmings on it…
Huh…wow! Thank you, my people!..ah huh!. Ladies and gentlemen, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my mother…ah…mother???...ha….huh..haaaa…haaaaa….another dream!!
Whew!, I thought I'm already the queen. Thank the gods it's just a dream! I know I will be able to fulfill my destiny as queen, pharaoh of Egypt but not today, soon!!!
Meraek is standing at the window of the royal suite looking at the river and appreciating how calm it is today. I hope that Jaur's coronation will be as sunny and beautiful as it was mine back in the olden days. Is everything set for Jaur's special day?, Henshu asked while she is seated at her study signing documents from the council where Sabah is head now.
