Nile Valey, 3600 BCE

A huge crowd gathered in front of a big dark pyramid with a golden apex.
They were bowing into the direction of a wide path.
There was a man leading a group of people with masks to the entrance.
In the middle many men carried a large stretcher-like thing.
On top of that, there sat a man with a ceremonial robe and a half-bird-looking mask.
On each side of him rode two people, also with ceremonial robes but different masks.

And behind them rode a beautiful princess in a white dress, which was very long and looked like stars.
A part of her raven-black hair was braided, the rest floated like a waterfall over her shoulders.
Her hand laid over her round stomach. She was expecting a baby.
Her gaze wandered off to the side straight to a group of guards.
They nodded, trying to not draw attention of any other present person.

They all knew the baby could be a girl. And if it will be, the so called God will take the princess's daughter as his mate and future wife.
The princess feared for her child's destiny and future.
She didn't want for her, if it will be a girl, that she will have no choice to choose a husband on her own.

In the middle of the dark pyramid was a big room with stone tables.
On one laid a young egyptian man, the other was empty.
When the so called God was near death in his present body, his four followers would search for someone, in which the Gods soul could be transferred in.

As everyone important rode or walked into the pyramid, the princess winced at a sudden pain in her stomach.
The high priest, who would lead the ceremony of the transference, came up to her as some guards helped her down the horse, and laid a hand on the round belly.

"My lord, your future wife will be born at any moment", the high priest said looking to the God who laid down his mask and ceremonial robe.

"And if we don't act immediately, your future mate will die!"

The God nodded and said with his dark voice:
"Let the transference begin!"

One of his followers cut the egyptian man, which laid there, on the chest. The wound was immediately healing, within less seconds.

"Now you will rule forever, my lord!"

The God laid down on the bed, when the high priest began the ceremony and a glowing went through the pyramid. Outside of the dark stony building, some men on each corner of it, pulled at ropes with were connected to a blanket-like-covering with a symbol on it.

When the covering slid down and the sun shone onto the golden top, it started glowing.
The high priest and the four followers were chanting something.

Meanwhile in another room the princess was screaming like death.
But then she stopped.
The nurse held something in a white blanket.

"What is it?", she asked the nurse.

"It's a girl your highness", the nurse said happily while looking at the baby, so she couldnt see that the princess frowned at these words.

"And she very beautiful", the nurse continued, "The lord will be happy to have such a beautiful mate at his side."

The princess still shocked and not happy with the news that her daughter would be the mate of monster, looked helplessly to the guards, which nodded carefully before approaching the nurse.

One to grab the baby and one behind her.
The guard which approached for the baby held out his hands and said:

"I will take her and present her to the lord, giving him blessings on their joining futures."

When he said that and the baby was lying in his arms the guard which approached the nurse from behind and she was stabbed from behind, with a hand over her mouth so she wouldnt alarm anyone with a scream.
The guards turned to the princess whose vision and life started to fade away.

"My lady, we have to go now, if we want to get out of here alive!", the first one said.

"Your highness?", the other one asked feared.

"Leave", she said weakly.

"What?", one of the guards asked.

"Leave and take good care of her", she begged weakly, "I cannot live on."

"But your highness, your daughter needs you!"

"Don't you understand it? I will die here. I'm not supposed to live on. I never was."

She turned to her daughter.

"You must take my place. You will be the pride of Egypt my little one. Your name will be history as the key of living."

After she said the last word her vision went black and her breathing stopped.

"Your highness?", one guard whisper screamed.

"Hey! We have to go now! We must protect her daughter at all costs", the other said.

The first one nodded and followed his friend threw the pyramid, avoiding the middle, where the ceremony still took place.
Before they could get out their gaze locked with two other guards standing there and watching the transference. The four nodded at each other before the two turned at the door and shut the room close.
Thats when the pyramid started to collapse.
