Tales of A Swordsman (Prologue : TheProphecy)

Prologue : TheProphecy (Part2)

The very next day, Amu'Thep gathered his sons and his priests to prepare to execute the instructions given to him by the hidden god but revealing only the true purpose to his sons. And for days and nights and with hundreds of his slaves, he began modifying the burial chambers within the Valley of the Kings and the pyramids and the other temples. Creating new tunnels and chambers.

Days become weeks, weeks become months, months become years, slaves worked night and day until all the modifications has been completed. Amu' Thep returned to the temple of the hidden god , this time with his eldest son, who is to succeed him as the high priest.

"I have done all you have asked me to do my, Lord" Amu'Thep says as he and his Son bows down to the hidden god.

"Very well. Now, I have one last instruction for you and your son. The time for Egypt to fall is close at hand. Great Armies from far away lands will invade this once great nation. Though you will not live to see the day Egypt falls, you, my faithful servant, will be the first to rise and sha ll be the one to awaken me from my slumber! Thus your tomb must remain hidden from the rest until the appointed time. Anubis1 will send his guards to protect your tomb! This chamber too must be sealed for this is where I shall remain until the appointed time!"





"As for you Son of Amu'Thep! You and your sons will keep the scrolls of instructions hidden until the appointed time, with the last two scrolls buried with your father. And the others will be divided among you and your sons. You shall , however hold onto the scroll of prophecy and will pass this to your first born son and for generation after generation the scrolls will be passed on to the first born of each. Who will also write down all that is happening in their time. You and your sons shall be the witnesses of what was written in the scrolls of prophecy! However, you and your families must leave in the desert until such time Egypt is ruled by one of her own again. For over two thousand years, your family will wander in the desert! Stay close to the River Nile for Sobek- the crocodile god will provide with protection and your needs"

After Amu'Thep and his son were given the instructions, the hidden god, retreats to the deepest, darkest part of the cavern. As instructed, the cavern and the tunnel was sealed.

Amu'Thep, then spent the remainder of his preparing his own burial chamber, hidden beneath the Temple of Amon. Though Amu'Thep has grown old, he is still at the peak of his prime. But one night, he had a vision, four jackal headed soldiers came out of the river nile and stood silently on the four corners of his bed. As he woke he knew then that it was his time. And the hidden god wanted to restore him at his prime. To do so, he must be buried at his current condition.

After Amu'Thep was buried, his sons and their families left Egypt and wandered in the desert for two thousand years. Generations after generations they have witnessed and recorded all that has happened in Egypt and noted that it was all as it was written in the prophecy.





First who came were the Nubians from the south, then the Assyrians then the Persians. Then came a young General from Greece who conquered nations as far east as India. And many more warriors from far away lands came to Conquer Egypt. All these, the sons of Amu'Thep have witnessed, until once again Egypt gained her independence once more.
