Akhenatem or Atem is the only god child of Ra, that is directly associated with Ra at all times. She is not a typical goddess. She wasn't born from the procreation of Ra and another god, but from her father's own power. She is his Protector and his...
Akhenatem is the daughter of Ra, a former pharaoh of the Egyptian gods and the most powerful god in existence. He was forced into retirement by Isis and after taking precautions to stop Apophis, he became a senile old man, who wound up in the House of Rest in the Duat while Akhenatem was hunted and tormented by Isis till the goddess gave up.
History Atem was created to be Ra's perfect soldier and protector from the other gods and goddesses. She was made by his power with the one job of protecting and serving him. But issues with Isis wanting Osiris to be King set plans in motion where Ra was forced to leave. Atem, unable to follow, moved to live among the mortals.
She also left to keep from being constantly harassed by Isis, having had to deal with her constant traps and attempts on Atem's life. Atem made a living as a warrior, moving through out all of Egypt to either learn more or to fight for some cause. For several years it involved a young warrior she'd seen a lot of potential in.
But as time went on, the world changed and she found herself in the court of Seti I, hired to train his Medjai, along with his daughter and mistress. The two girls worked hard, one picked up things quicker than the other. As they got older, Seti I found that his daughter would be best suited to protect one of the prized possessions of Egypt, The Bracelet of Anubis.
While his mistress would be best suited to protect him. Seeing as Atem would be going back to fulling training the newer Medjai. For months things went well. Seti I would travel and return to check on things, in her spare time, Atem found that she favored a Medjai warrior, she had first noticed this when he started to spend all of his spare time with her.
She'd inquired to why he did so and had told her that something in him called to her, she'd gone years thinking that, because she was created and not born, that she has no soul. But focusing as well she realized she felt something telling her that what he said is true, her own soul called to him as well.
For months things went well. Until Seti I was killed by his Mistress and her lover. Stressed by the situation, Atem had to focus on burials for Seti, his daughter and the Mistress. But it didn't stop there, the Mistress's lover wanting to bring her back broke into her crypt, stole her body along with the black book and attempted to bring her back to life.
But because of the efforts of Atem and the Medjai, he was stopped. Atem, herself ordered the servants of the priest, that turned out to be the Mistresses lover, to be mummified alive and the priest himself was punished with the Hom-Dai. She went as far as to carry out the punishment herself. Once finished, the priest was locked away never to see daylight ever again.
To punish herself, Atem left. Leaving behind the Medjai warrior, she'd fallen in love with. Centuries passed and Atem travelled. Seeing other things, learning of the world. But nothing compared to her home and in 1920, she found herself back in Egypt, working at the library with a young woman who she knew to be a reincarnation of the long dead daughter of Seti I.
