Chapter One - A Spark in Time
Even though it was already the beginning of the night, the ancient city of Cairo began to be active and lively as if it were the middle of the day and shone neon lights. Boats and buildings emit a spectacle of stunning colors on the inky surface of the Nile. On the banks of the Nile, a large Nile ship settled. Although it had lost its main purpose, which is sailing, its owner decided that instead of leaving it to rust, he would turn it into a popular restaurant. Inside this restaurant, located on the Nile, the kitchen was bustling with the sounds of sizzling lamb slices. Fried and grilled, and the smell of fried onions mixed with fresh vegetables, the young men working inside were moving like bees, each shining in their own way, but the most prominent among them was a young man with a mesmerizing appearance, with dark black hair wet from the heat of the fumes, amber-colored eyes, and wheat-coloured skin. The color and his slender body, but what distinguishes him most is an almost straight scar that extends from his left eyebrow to his chin, which is a constant reminder of the past that he rarely talks about. The rhythmic sizzle of the fried steak was interrupted and with a quick movement the young man transferred it from the frying pan to the plate that his colleague took; To complete his work on decorating it, at approximately 8:32 in the evening, this young man arrived at the house, and after he entered the main gate, the first person to greet him was a man in his late fifties, originally a little old. This old man welcomed the young man while shaking his hand with Uncle Ramses: (He patted Idris' shoulder. ) "Good evening, Idris, how are you today?" Idris: (with a smile) "Good evening, Uncle Ramses. I'm fine. Thank you for asking. Today's work was a bit stressful, but I'm happy with it." Uncle Ramses: (laughs) "I know you like working there, Idris. You are an energetic and hardworking young man." Idris: (Gratefully) "Thank you, Uncle Ramses. Your words motivate me to do more." Idris and Uncle Ramses chat for a few minutes, then Idris bids farewell to Uncle Ramses and leaves for his apartment. After he closed the door, the first thing he met was a unique animal with fur the color of twilight, a slender body like a jaguar, and a head resembling that of a wolf. Despite this strange structure, he appeared unexpectedly as a peaceful and friendly creature. "Slow down, Akim," Idris muttered as he patted the head of this huge creature, Akim. Akim began, happy for the return of his owner, Idris, who, after he finished changing his clothes, prepared lunch for the two of them. While they were eating lunch, suddenly, and at about the same time, they stopped eating. "Did you feel it too, Akim?" Idris said anxiously, and Akim responded with a nod of his head, when Idris's features changed to boredom as he muttered in exasperation: "Oh, please have mercy on me for disturbing me a little." Then Idris sighed deeply, then got up and He changed his clothes for the second time, and after opening the door of his apartment, he called Akim to come, and the latter changed from a large, beloved puppy to a predatory wolf ready to kill. On the other side of town, in the middle of the crowded market, inside an elegant antique shop, there was a girl arguing with a customer haggling over the price of a hand-painted papyrus scroll.Her crimson red hair contrasted beautifully with her calm emerald eyes, her pure white skin, and her rosy cheeks making anyone who saw her dazzle with her breathtaking beauty. In the end, the girl prevailed in the debate and sold the scroll for the price she wanted. At the same time, there was a small creature crawling next to the girl's foot, A bright black snake with small skin growths on its head. This snake stood next to the girl, who was not shocked by it. The girl took the water bottle that was in the snake's mouth, then carried the latter, which wrapped around her arm. In a strange way to us, and in a soft voice, the snake spoke, saying: "How was it, Tia? Who won in the bargaining?" "Of course I am," Hestia replied proudly, a wide smile on her face. While Hesita was bragging about her sales and negotiation skills, suddenly, a violent wave shook the market, sending items flying into the air. People screamed as they scrambled for cover as stalls collapsed and clouds of dust rose. "Sylphy," Hestia shouted, her voice tight. "What is happening?" "Nashiki is unnatural...it feels wrong, Tia," the snake hissed, weaving itself tightly around Hestia's arm. From the epicenter of the tremor, huge figures emerged, their bronze skins shimmering with an unnatural green light. A rumbling roar, the sound split the air, raising a huge war hammer pulsing with chaotic energy. The crowd retreated in horror. In their midst stood a herd of minotaurs, creatures from Greek myth, seemingly coming straight from the depths of a rift. "Seriously Mentor! Here in Egypt! Damn there's a tear in the fabric of space-time." At the same time, a woman in her forties, of average height, with dark brown hair and a mole below her left eye, ran into the store. The woman shouted with all the anxiety in the world: "Hesita! Where are you?" While tears were flowing from her eyes, Hestia rushed to her and calmed her down, saying: "I am fine, mother. You hide, and I will go to help the guards." Her mother hugged her tightly while she was crying, and begged her to be careful. As soon as Hestia left the store, she saw chaos everywhere, and before Hestia could react to the situation, a cloud of brown and gold passed in front of her. One of the minotaurs rushed in, swinging his hammer, preparing to strike her, but Sylvie turned around and began to slowly strangle him. Heseta took advantage of the situation and headed for a side alley, and when it began to transform, For Hesta, it was a strange feeling (although she was used to it). It was a feeling of warmth, and it seemed as if she was dreaming. A cloud of black mist surrounded her, and in less than three seconds she emerged from that cloud in a completely invisible way. than it was; As her hair turned dark black and her eyes became brown, her features changed from Greek features to purely Egyptian features, and her clothes also changed to a long white dress like the one worn by Greek gods, and a medium-length sword and a rectangular shield appeared in her hands. There is interesting information. About Hestia, there is information that only her family knows, which is that Hestia is an embodiment of the Canaanite war entity Anat. Anat rushed to fight the Minotaur, and with one blow of her sword she cut one of them in half as if it were made of cardboard. She avoided a blow from another ax using her shield, and with a graceful movement like a cat, she dodged a third blow to hit its owner in the tendon of his foot, knocking him to the ground while plunging the sword into his heart, turning around. She turned herself around in an acrobatic movement to knock off the head of another Minotaur. Another tried to hit her, but Sylvie intervened and restricted his movement, allowing Anat to deliver a fatal blow to him.Because of her continued killing of the Minotaur, this attracted the rest to her, and the battle raged between one girl carrying a sword and a shield and an entire herd of savage, bloodthirsty mutants. As the battle raged, and the buildings collapsed under the massive blows of the Minotaur, Idris finally arrived, and after he saw how the battle was taking place in favor of Anat and that no one was around, he withdrew to a side alley and calmly said to Akeem: "Come on, my friend, do your part." When Akeem suddenly began to change, his size increased from what it was, the color of his fur turned to grey, his limbs became blood red, his claws and fangs became larger, and he also grew two great deer horns, and his appearance began to look like a hybrid between a wild wolf and a terrifying wendigo monster. . After his transformation, Akeem used his magic and surrounded the alley with an illusion to hide himself and Idris. And just like Akeem Idris, his transformation also began. A tornado of fire rushed from beneath his feet and caught fire. His skin and flesh melted from his bones and then grew back again. His body rippled, bones shifted, and muscles twisted. Am_heh became the devourer of immortality and the embodiment of gluttony and brutality within the Egyptian pantheon. His body, now a muscular humanoid with the head of a ferocious wild dog, pulsed with terrifying raw power. And inside him, he began to crave hunger, a great hunger like a bottomless ocean. Hunger was reflected in his body from the trembling of his muscles and the brutality that filled his eyes . Am_heh looked at Akeem and motioned for him to come with him, but contrary to what was expected, they did not go to the place of the mixed battle, but rather to another place entirely, and no one knows where or what he will do.
