The morning breeze rolled across the land of Egypt as two servants rapped me in linen robes and put a diadem on my head...they put beautiful golden sandals at my feet before I arose and bowed to me as I stood..."Your Majesty" Muntu bowed " their are less and less people starving this great morning" he said I smiled "good...that's all?" I said "The now deceased Queen is ready for burial" Muntu said "yes good...good...do you where her tomb is located?" I hissed and Muntu shook his head "no your majesty...the men who do have fled Egypt with Octavian and his men" Muntu said..."well then...put her in a tomb under a temple then" I said "yes your highness in fact we have one available" Muntu said..."good now...how is my treasury?" I said "fine and well " Muntu said silently..."well then...Arrange the funeral procession...we must have a wonderful ceremony for the Queen" I said sing with pride "and Muntu" I said in a low voice before he could even move..."if anyone makes something go wrong execute them" I hissed "yes your majesty...I will keep that in mind" Muntu said.
He bowed again to my feet and stood before disappearing out of my chamber door and walking out onto my balcony with my arms crossed across my chest in a X like a crowned prince would before he is truly crowned.
There was a ruckus outside that annoyed me...guards were dragging men in ragged kilts and pale faces that made me curious "Neferneb who do you bring to my palace?!" I shouted "Roman spies my lord! Each tortured and each confessed" Neferneb said "put them with the procession of Queen Cleopatra's funeral they will be beheaded in her honor" I said Neferneb bowed to me "yes your majesty" he said.
I stepped away from the balcony and began to make for my door...having the doors opened for me I stood in the halls listening to the music that billowed down the halls...my sister Mat came running down the hall with a jackal playfully following her..."hello brother" she said smiling as they circled around me..."hello Mat" I said...she was dressed in a beautiful linen dress with a collar decorated with gold, turquoise and silver...it was the same collar Cleopatra once wore as a child...Mat's dressed swirled around her ankles as she ran around with the beautiful young puppy jackal following her.
"When I die I want him to be buried with me" Mat said I smiled "of course...if I out live you I'll do so" I said as she bolted down the hall...my mother appeared down the hall wearing a beautiful bead collar and a linen dress with beautiful golden sandals and a golden vultures headdress..."good morning my son" my mother bowed to me as a royal would smiling..."good evening mother...has my father gotten any better?" I muttered she nod..."much better he is in his own private nursery in the south of the palace" she muttered "very well...he'll be healed in the best way...he does have royal blood...right mother?" I said silently staring at her "yes he does"she said.
"Very well then...I have a important things too do...I will soon wear the crown of Egypt on my head as my child will in the future" I said my mother smiled at me "and I will be the great pharaohs mother" I said smiling.
I went off silently towards my throne room...decorated with guards, servants and people of the rebirthing court...they all bowed in respect..."hail to Setiankhamun"they all said..."rise my friends...I only plan to make this empire great...my royal blood will be treated well.
A servant offered me a cup of wine "thank you" I said taking the cup and drinking from it..."ah"I muttered...my father appeared down the hall being held up by a golden staff decorated with hieroglyphics spelling his name Ptolemy XIII he was never truly named Ptolemy he was named Pompey ... After Pompey the great.
He smiled as a servant bowed to him "father" I said taking his shaking hand..."you come?" I muttered "no servant or guard can keep me down boy" he said my father was young...only thirty years old and married my mother who was only the age of ten when her father desired money to stay alive.
He smiled "you shall be a great pharaoh and restore the culture once again for another thousand years to come" He said..."I've taught his majesty well your highness" General May said bowing in respect to the both of us..."he will rule and have his name as Setiankhamun the great and first of his name over all the walls all of Egypt" May said "I expect well of that" I said smiling..."very well" my father said..."my teaches have done you well" my father said putting his hand on my shoulder "be no Tyrant" he added as a servant helped him to a golden chair besides my grand throne.
"Silences" May shouted over the hundreds of new Viziers, advisers and tax collectors "Pharaoh speaks" he hisses as I cross my arms over my chest..."men of my court I welcome you with welcome arms...I welcome you into my homes across the lands of Egypt and I expect all your loyalty...and I expect you all to show your respect to he deceased queen that cared for Egypt more then we think we do...her husband general Marc Antony's body will be sailed to Rome by men who oath their silence for Thoth in reward for his endless knowledge" I say and the men raised their beautiful golden goblets to he honor of the queen "May she arrive to the underworld in peace with her lover" we all say... My sister approaches me with her young puppy jackal behind her "this is a life I've always dreamt of" my sister muttered smiling I chuckle "yes of course".
"I dreamt of it too"
