The Pharaoh was dead. The city of Amunh Ka Ni and all of Egypt would be in mourning. For it was the great city that housed the great Pharaoh of Egypt.

Olufemi was a young girl whose name meant her whole self. Her name meaning beloved of the gods was true. The gods created her from the elements which she could bend. She was the Pharaoh's closest servant. She was considered his spirit guide. She kept up to date with the gods and goddesses, helped the dead to the afterlife, and still had time to practice her bending. Not to mention she was the prince's age which was 17. Also, she was made untouchable to everyone but the pharaoh, her lover. The Pharaoh's wife was killed by her and the Pharaoh, Tutankhamen, by feeding her to the lions. From that moment on, Tutankhamen could marry his beloved Olufemi. He was the first person to show her kindness. He worshipped her and saw her as a gift from the gods. He called her the avatar.

Olufemi had blamed herself for his death. He had been killed by an old friend of Olufemi's. Her friend, Ank Ki, had confessed his love for Olufemi and touched her. This had anger the Pharaoh greatly. Tutankhamen had challenged Ank Ki to a duel for touching his wife and telling her he loved her. And unknown to her husband's recent back injury she had gotten angry and spoke aloud to someone other than the Pharaoh. "You two will not fight each other,"she had yelled to the both of them. And during her anger she came in between them and had sent them both flying to the wall with her earth bending. The hit had instantly killed Tutankhamen.

(Flashback)

"You two will not fight each other,"she had yelled to the both of them. She got to her feet and stomped her foot on the ground and flicked her hands sharply away from each other and the earth obeyed her silent commands.

It sent both men back into the wall. When Tutankhamen had hit the wall it severed his neck bone from his back and killed him instantly. The dead Pharaoh fell to the ground.

Olufemi realized what she had done and ran for her dead lover.

"Husband, my love. Awaken"she exclaimed, cradling his face.

Guards instantly surrounded her and the Pharaoh. They had to pry Olufemi off of him.

"Let go, let go! It was an accident "she cried, sobbing and kicking.

The guards knew she didn't mean to. They just had to remove the body and start mummification immediately.

Ank Ki was sentenced to mummified alive for touching the untouchable and killing the Pharaoh. And sentenced to the Hom Di curse.

(Flashback done)

Olufemi was in the throne room, bowing to the empty throne that once held her Pharaoh, her master, her husband. She refused to serve the next pharaohs. She was loyal to and only to Tutankhamen.

So she had announced that when they were to put her beloved into his tomb for his adventures in the afterlife she was to go with him to stay with him in her spirit. She wouldn't die so her beloved couldn't wait for her in the afterlife. And the day had arrived.

She got to her feet and headed to the mummification room. She saw her husband's mummy in the far back. She held out her arms to be wrapped in the rags. They covered her in rags everywhere except her mouth.

A man with the owl's head on picked her up, since she couldn't see, and placed her on the bed her body would comfortably rest on while her spirit lived on with Tutankhamen.

They put Tutankhamen into the sarcophagus and carried him to the tomb first. Then close after him they brought Olufemi.

She was now sitting up. She could tell she hit sunlight because the darkness got a little lighter. Then they entered the tomb. They set down Tutankhamen and then her.

Olufemi positioned herself in a meditating pose. She closed her eyes and concentrated on on leaving her body and going into the afterlife itself.

Finally, she left her body and connected to the afterlife. Her body fell as she remained in a freezing mode. Two servant girls adjusted her body, putting her in the traditional death pose.

In the afterlife, Tutankhamen greeted her with open arms. They would be together forever. For an eternity. Or so they thought.
