The Last Dynasty {Complete}

Chapter one

The month had been hard on Egypt the government slowly fell apart and no man was strong enough to take the mighty powerful throne in fear they will be hunted by the deadly Octavian other known now as Augustus.

Starving people who have gone poor fill the streets like billowing smoke that slowly filled Alexandria...every man powerful enough to take the might throne disappeared just to flee to Rome and have a great life...the remaining Egyptians were slowly dying out like a cold fog made by the oceans spray.

The empire was in ruin...my father was ill and we barely had enough money to help him with his terrible illness..."only if the queen was alive" I muttered wiping the sweat from his pale brow..."she would have helped...tragedy has struck harder then the Lightning of Zeus" I muttered my father looked at me eyes clouded with fear..."it's Jupiter now child" my father wheezed as my mother entered the room..."Off you go child your sister awaits you in the courtyard" my mother said putting her hand on my bronze shoulder "she wants to go to see the temple of Amun" my mother said.

Her eyes shined with hope "the priests have abandoned the temples last week"she said smiling...I stood from my wooden stool and my father clutched my hand "do what's right" he muttered before letting my hand slip from his grasped...my mother the daughter of one of the recently deceased queens Egyptian overseer of construction was hinting at me as a way.

My father a Greek man who was rich since birth and had a handsome smile that warmed any mourning heart..."I will" I said bowing my head in respect...as I stepped out into the courtyard five stable boys circles around my sister who was wearing a knee length linen dress with beautiful golden sandals and bracelets that made her look like the riches girl in the failing empire she was surrounded by our visiting cousins...both of them walked around her in a tight circle with their fist clenched.

"Give us the gold Mat!" The skinniest boy in the entire circle hissed my sister frowned angrily at him "no way stick boy!" She hissed the tallest boy growled angrily as he lunged towards only to get a hard kick to the reproductive organ he fell to the ground before the skinny boy jumped onto her back and tried to pull her first wig that was decorated with golden beads.

He managed to get it off and stood up trying to dash off but Mat grabbed his legs and tripped him to the limestone floor...I was shocked that my sister could fight that I forgot to assist running over the tallest boy tried to get into the action grabbing the boy around the waist I tossed him into the courtyard pool and watched as my sister wrestled the other boy across the floor " give me back my wig!" She shouted pulling the ivory pin out of her long black hair letting it lose the boy tried to push her off him "never!" He shouted.

"Mat!" It was Mat's nurse who was still caring for her sprained ankle "I told you to stop fighting!" She shouted pulling Mat off the boy "forgive her Ramses" Her nurse said to the bruises boy..."it's okay" he muttered stuffing the wig under his armpit ...he ran off pulling his brother out of the pool and running off...Mat turned red " he stole my wig!" Mat shouted at her nurse "Ankhy why did you do that!" Mat shouted Ankhy sighed "your mother would agree to what I have done...fix your hair and go off with your brother" Ankhy said smiling.

"Fierce competition" I muttered to my sister who smile as she fixed her hair "thieves that's all that's all they are stealing all my stuff"she cursed as slaves still loyal brought our barge that would bring us to Karnak.

Mat stepped on and cracked her knuckles when she took sight of the fleeing boys still clutching her wing...I sighed and ordered the barge onwards with the point of my finger and took out my wooden dice "wanna play?" I muttered shaking them in my hand Mat stared at me as if I had just offended her. "I want to play hounds and jackals" she hissed and I dropped my dice on the table where is bounce and landed on II.

"Two" she muttered "two what?" I muttered "two days" she hissed flicking my cheek with her middle finger "somethings going to happen in two days that's how our games work retard" she hissed "don't understand but we're almost there" I hissed as the barge began to pull up besides the dock leading to the beautiful temple of Karnak "let's go" I hissed I jumped off the ship before the board could be placed.

Me and my sister walked through the the thousands of statues seeing the beautiful statues of ramses the great and other pharaohs of the past.

My sister and I walked up the beautiful limestone steps my sister sighed and walked the doorless doorway smiling...she limped down the long ball and turned to a wooden door that looked dark since the cracks in the doorway were large...my sister pushed on the door an suddenly there was a low grumbling "leave now! No one shall enter the chambers of Amun if thou don't sit on the throne and have the blood of a god coursing through your veins!No man sits on throne now!"The voice shouted before there were low muttered prayers being said inside.

"um...what if I was to take the throne" I muttered and my sister looked shocked "what nonsense who would want the throne?" The voice said angrily... "I would" I muttered before the door swung open and a man who was wrinkled and looked old enough to be the high priest looked into my eyes..."you are Egyptian?" He muttered taking my arm and touch my bronze skin..."half" my sister muttered "that will do" the man said he fixed the leopard skin draped off his shoulders "you would be a great pharaoh but you must not be announced take this and go to the still protected palace of Thebes and give this to a Egyptian standing by the empty throne" the man said.

"Good luck" he muttered.
