Chapter 52: Battleground
Last Updated:
2021-03-27 03:51:24Elise was busy avoiding the spells of Priestess Nehes cast on her. She threw back spells against the enemy priestess now and then as well but the priestess had some kind of a shield that she did not even blink an eye to avoid any of her spells.
Sparks of greens, blues, blacks, reds, yellows and oranges exploded everytime they blocked each other’s magic. Whooshes and crackles in the air could be heard as well, mixed with the clangs, groans, grunts and yells from the soldiers.
The desert sand was now soaked with red liquid that the Egyptians shed.

Diana grinned at Priestess Nofretete as a sign of greeting. She blocked the priestess’ spells cast on her, and she summoned her cudgels again. The witch priestess’ eyes widened in agitation.
“You must have some trauma with my cudgels, witch priestess,” Diana mocked amidst the noise of the battle that was going on.

The other witch priestesses and the sorcerer priest felt the loss of Priestess Ahotep. Meru, too, felt it. They were immobilized for a second before they could move again.The griffins continued to attack the army of the Scorpion King. Kent looked up at the flying huge beasts. He turned to the remaining serpopard. Later, he would find a way to get those griffins, after he finished off this ground beast.He jumped on the soldiers’ shoulders that were busy fighting, as if they were a bridge for him to get to the serpopard, which was then ready to eat another handful of soldiers. He rushed to get onto its back. But the serpopard saw him and avoided him. Its head was now dangerously turned toward him and he was looking eye to eye with the beast. It howled before it pounced on him.Kent sprinted so fast like he was in one of his games in football and got around to the other side of the serpopard. He ran around it in circles that the serpopard’s neck twist

The armies seemed not drained after their strengths were used up on full power of more than half a day battle without food or water. It was amazing that they could go on like that for so long. And it only meant one thing. They were driven by each of their dream that was only one goal—to win.Zadi watched the two kings who faced each other as if they were talking only with their minds. The expression of their faces was like of that a warrior who was ready to slay his enemy.“It is like the two kings are not fighting with their hands and body but with their minds,” she commented rather more to herself.The high priestess heard her, and she too turned to look at the two kings who stood face to face. They had been like that for a long time. She gave Zadi a toothless smile but with sad eyes. “The king did not wish more bloodshed but he knew that it would be inevitable with the Cobra King’s attitude.”“You are right. He

“Hey, shrieking priestess!” Diana called out. She was bored at throwing spells at each other that didn’t yield anything but a few scratches here and there, nothing mortal.The witch priestess stopped and looked at her with suspicious eyes.“I’m bored with this stuff. You know something more interesting than casting spells?” Diana added.The witch priestess still eyed her suspiciously. Maybe this young foreigner witch priestess would set a trap for her, she thought.“Hey, are you listening?” Diana’s voice grew louder.“Yes!” the priestess answered through gritted teeth.“Good!”“And what do you want, young foreigner witch priestess? Surely, you are up to no good for me.”Diana grinned. “You’re so silly! I’m just having a friendly conversation. And perhaps we can have a friendly battle without hurting each other.”

Kent turned around again to face the Nubians who seemed to be coming more and more in number. He ran toward them with his sword and slashed everyone in his way. He also used his martial arts skills to bring down some of the enemies to the ground either unconscious or lifeless. His eyes were fierce as his body naturally assumed a fighting stance.“You guys are boring me to death now!” He spat on the ground and burnt his enemies with his magical fire.****Eric followed the sorcerer priest who ran around the battlefield—so fast. They moved sprightly that it seemed no one could see them anywhere. He finally grabbed a hold of the sorcerer priest’s loincloth. They stopped just a short distance from the two kings who were fighting against each other; both were already bruised and bloodied in their face, thighs and arms.“Stop… running… around!” He punched the sorcerer priest thrice ri

Meru recalled his mother looked so beautiful when he was young. She was so caring to him. There were times that she was the one who would tend to his wounds from battles if he did not go to Priestess Nehes first. His mother however warned him that he could not marry the priestess ever.“You are not meant to be with each other, Meru. She has her duties to the king and the temple,” his mother reminded him.“I know that, Mother. For now, I am contented to be with her just like this.” That was his answer to his beloved mother, though his heart was heavy due to this fact.He recalled some time later that she looked depressed and gloomy. And not long afterward, she was gone to the underworld. He and his father did not know what went wrong or for what reason she killed herself. They presumed then that she did not want to have a husband for a general and a son for a warrior, which gave her sorrow and depression whenever they went to a battle. And

Elise had to repel the cobra of Priestess Nehes. As time went on, the cobra spat farther and farther. Anytime soon, the venom would be spat into her protective shield she built around her.Her grandmother chose to disappear from her mind’s eye at this moment. After a second, her third eye suddenly turned into red. Her body aura colors of gold, red and silver became visible to everyone, and her red third eye was repulsively disturbing and powerful.****Diana shielded her eyes by her arm.For Eric, it was good for him that he did not get to see the blue third eye of Elise that turned red. He was still inside the tent with the queen and her baby, guarding them together with the high priest.Meanwhile, Kent was still fighting with the Nubian warriors who gathered around him.“You should die, foreigner! This is no place for you!” one said to him.“What should I say?” He shrugged. &

Ancient Egypt, the ninth district of Ta Shemau.Meru’s eyes widened as he saw the fate of his beloved witch priestess in the eye of the elite seer. It was a miracle he wasn’t sucked by it. He dropped unto his knees, facing the Medjay who also watched the fate of their enemies. He looked down at his opponent, General Meru.“Let me die right on this battlefield, Medjay. My life has no meaning without my beloved ones—my mother, the king… and Priestess Nehes.”The Medjay looked at him with pity in his eyes for his longtime enemy. The general sure did change his mind in killing him after witnessing his beloved priestess’ demise.“I am no longer needed in this world without any of them beside me. And I would rather die today than to be alive serving the fake king whom I now achingly despise!” Meru’s voice was entreating.“You do not need to serve the king anymore. My king is like

“Happy birthday, Elise!” Kent kissed her soft cheek as he handed her the birthday gift.They were at Menominee’s Hut. The fast food was purposely closed for this special occasion. Elise was so happy for this birthday surprise her parents gave her. She didn’t expect this party at all.“Thank you, Kent.” She smiled prettily at him as she accepted his gift. It was in a small box wrapped in a lavender colored shiny wrapper. Their fingers touched and they both looked at them.Kent almost jerked his hands away as he looked around to check if Eric was somewhere near.“Hey. Are you looking for Eric? He’s busy with Diana,” she said pointing at a table where their respective friends were eating and chatting happily. They seemed to be in a friendly mood, not bickering at least.Elise then grabbed Kent’s hand while she carried the gift in the other. Being close to him like this made her feel excited a

They were all exhausted after walking around. They sat on the chairs provided for them by the servants while the high priestess was just following and watching them. She tried to be helpful but to no avail. Then an idea hit her. She walked over to the elite seer.“Why don’t you go back to the king’s residence? Perhaps the portal you are seeking is there? After all, your mission was to help the king win the battle and unify the Two Lands,” she suggested.The four teenagers looked at one another. The high priestess had a point of course. Elise’s heart was beating so fast with excitement and anticipation. She could almost feel like they were back on Belmont Mound in no time.They headed back to the king’s residence even when it was before the break of dawn.

“Oh, it’s really so hot!” Diana complained a bit later after they had their early dinner.They were still at the temple, and the high priestess explained to them on her duties in the temple. Zadi and her guards already returned to the king’s residence while the two girls were left with the high priestess to educate them.“Well, you can refresh yourselves. You do not need to go to the king’s residence. I can let you go to the pool and warn the guards that you can enter and use it anytime.”“Oh, that’s really great!” Diana exclaimed. “Let’s go, Elise!”“Thank you… great aunt,” Elise said to the high priestess before they left.Nefer just smiled as her eyes followed her great niece.Elise and Diana only had their underwear on when they plunged into the cool water that night.

“Yes, elite seer,” Nefer replied straightforwardly. “But the time and place will depend on your fate. You will see visions beforehand. As I believe, you saw visions before coming here, correct?”Elise nodded at the correctness of the high priestess. “Yes… I saw visions, images. I saw the double crown of the king he’s wearing now. I saw his face, the totem of scorpion and several others. I never thought they would all come into reality. I thought I was just… stressed out—tired due to my studies, you know?”“I understand, elite seer.”“So… May I ask why exactly it has to be me?” Elise questioned almost desperately as she pointed at herself.“That question, elite seer—I just found out the reason recently.” Nefer paused and sighed before she continued. “You are my distant relative.”Zadi stared at the high priestess in sur

Present time at Thompson’s residence in Belmont, Wisconsin.After a passionate lovemaking with his wife, Kevin cuddled his wife to sleep again. He looked at her beautiful, satisfied face. He almost forgot how beautiful his wife was. He was so busy with his managing the four law firms in New York that he took his family for granted.The law firms were all so busy. He never thought before that there would be so many lawsuits these past few years in New York City alone. These were either personal injuries, assaults, accidents, criminal or civil cases. Most were pended and took a long time due to investigations or cross examinations. He realized just now that it was tiresome after all these years. Then he contemplated on his life, his family, his attitude toward his work, his attitude toward Kent, his only son…He blinked as if remembering something. He thought of the times when Kent would only greet him when he was home. He had never asked his son to s

One big sofa bed was shared by the three guys and one for both Elise and Diana only. Diana was already fast asleep while Elise could not sleep at all even though she already closed her eyes a long time ago.She opened her eyes then and kept on watching Kent who was already asleep in the other sofa bed. He was near the edge of the sofa bed. The Medjay was in the middle and on the other side was her brother.She badly wanted Kent to be happy. She had hoped that his father would soon acknowledge his presence, give him some attention and be a good father to him. She wanted him to experience of living with a happy family. She had thought of it since Diana revealed to her about his family, his feelings toward his father and his hidden wishes about a happy family.She got up and went outside of the tent.
