First Life II

"Darling, Look! Once more I am with child!"

You groan as you slowly sit up, your form becoming visible once more as the Sun God comes close, her light illuminating you. You've been sleeping for a while, long enough for your Ra to birth 3 gods. She was pregnant with the fourth when you went back to sleep.

She walks over and hurriedly grabs your hand, placing it on her swollen belly, face beaming in glee. You can't help but groggily smile back.

"Congratulations, blinding one. May this one grow to serve you well."

You notice the glint her eyes, it's the mischievous little give that you've grown to know.

"...you should create one for your own. I still feel so bad that you're all alone~"

She purrs and slides into the bed with you. You just huff and let her, feeling her hand card into your hair.

"I am fine without children. Besides, you seem to be quite busy building your empire."

She pulls her hand, only to get trapped into a knot and pouts.

"Dear, your hair is so long and so tangled, not fitting for the second born god."

You can't help but giggle.

"Well one day perhaps I'll chop it all off for you?"

She snorts before freeing her hand.

"No, I love your wild hair... and your wildness. Why are you so calm and still for my children? Why not show yourself? Why cloak yourself in dark fabrics, even in my light?"

Again, with the questions....

"As I've told you again and again, Ra, I cannot tell you all."

She stayed silent at that...

Until she pulled you onto your back. You stare up at her, perplexed, as she slots herself between your legs. She smiles as your hips connect, her pregnant belly touching your flat one.

"My opposite... I need one who will reflect my night.... I shall give you another gift then."

She leans in, the heavy gold she wore dragging up your stomach before she kisses your eyes. Just then, you felt a familiar pressure. You need to cry. Hard.

You pull away from her and sit up, your eyes turning red and blurring from the tears you're starting to shed.

"W-what have you done!?"

"Since you named yourself Nun, I thought to give you the gift of creation. Did we not ourselves be born from the river?"

You grit your teeth as tears began to fall and wouldn't stop. It spills over your cheeks and into your hands. You could feel your tears collecting in your palms, the puddle forming exuding life.

You begin to sob, crying harder, at shock that Ra would do this to you. This isn't at all in the story.

You don't know how long you've cried but you stopped once you heard a cry.

A baby cry.

You opened your tired eyes to see a baby crying in front of you, wet and glowing.

He had white hair...

You don't know what made you but you brought him close to you, the dark sheer fabric of your head dress enveloping him. He quiets at the warmth of your body against him, opening his eyes.

They're blue...

This isn't at all in the story... You never knew where Thoth came from.

A hand comes and pets your head.

"Oh my sweet Nun... you have created your first being. I'm so proud of you. Someone you can finally tell all to."

You bite your lip at that, dread beginning to form in the pit of your stomach. Thoth will grow up and tell Ra the prophecy... You don't wanna be any part of that mess. You need to find a way to return home.

"Ra...."

You look up at her, unveiling your face to stare directly into her eyes, the first time you have in centuries.

"Kill me."

She grins, beautiful, radiant and oh so evil.

"Never."
