Egypt was at it's prime, along the Nile small villages and cities prospered as the Nile brought life to the dry land. People went along their everyday lives, working, resting, raising their families. Never knowing that humankind was changing right underneath their noses. Because the first recorded mutant, was found on a pyramid wall about different people that changed the way of the world forever. But of course these people would never know it. ((Okay so the theme has been set up so pick whichever character you want to put into this and then pick an Egyptian name for them from here www.20000-names.com/ and then add what they do, example : Iris~Moswen ~Meaning: White ~ High Priestess of the Isis Temple so there you go.))

Moswen, the High Priestess of the Isis Temple, the only temple in all of Egypt that was run but only females, walked up the steps of the Pharaoh's Palace, behind her her most trusted servents followed her.
Moswen's staff made a clanging noise against the steps as she climbed them. She turned the guards that were postioned on the stairs turned and looked at the rare beauty. She had light tan skin that was flawless and glowed in the sunlight. But underneath her temple crown her hair was light blond almost white, which is why her parents had named her Moswen when she was born. But it was her steady blue eyes that brought the most attention to the High Priestess, it was said that if you looked long enough into them then your future could be seen.
But those were just rumors.

A tall, teenage boy passed by the preistess, bowing his head as he walked. His long, black hair fell down into his face, hiding his tanned features. His simple clothes, those of a palace servant, clothed his lithe frame. In his hands he held a bowl of clear, clean water, a peice of cloth drifting in it. Bare feet slapped on the floor as he hurried past, making his way to the room of the pharaoh's daughter.

Mandisa sat in her room quietly as the sun beat through her window. She stood and stepped towards the window, looking out at Egypt. To her it was beautiful. She watched as people scurried about, some of the women were shopping in the market, some of the men heading off to work, and some of the children where playing in the streets. Mandisa smiled to herself.

"Good morning Sifiye," The High Seer of the Pharaoh said to the servent as they passed. Sabah had been the Pharaoh's Seer since she was very young and one of his most trusted servent, "Is the Nile sparkling in the sun today?" she asked the boy her slightless, cloudy white in color looking at the boy a sweet smile on her lips. With a wandering hand she straightened her light blue robes and waited for the boy to answer.

Sifiye bowed slightly, the water in the bowl rippling slightly as his practiced hands steadied it. "Yes, ma'am, it is," He spoke in a quiet voice, answering the question carefully and not saying anything else. Sifiye was a shy young male, always catious of what he said or did.

"And the High Priestess is coming?" she asked biting her lips, "Of course she is, then there are many changes that will happen today. Promise me young one that once you finish washing the Princess's feet you'll go and hide somewhere," Sabah said ruffling Sifiye's hair before walking off.
Moswen entered the Palace and looked at Layla, "Good day to you Layla, it's a beautiful morning," Moswen said taking off her Temple Crown and handing it to her servants and then undid her cloak and handed then back to the servants as well. Underneath her cloak she wore a robe of mostly white that was decorated by gold and silver.

"Why sh-" The boy stopped mid-sentence, realizing Layla had already walked off without explination. He shook his head and continued to the Princess's room, knocking softly. "Princess Mandisa?" He called softly.

Sef~Sef Yesterday Left hand of En Sabah Nur, First horse man of Death
Sef entered the palace at the bidding of his one and only one who Sef would ever call master. Sef entered walking in his presence noticed by all as it always was due to his great lumbering bulk and his self-confidence.
Sef big the half breed he was lead a hard life which made him grow into a strong and excellent warrior. Half Egyptian and half of some northern savage, he tended to be much bigger then most people of Egypt.
Sef had been sent as he had many times before to watch over the Seer Sabah. None would oppose his entrance as most now knew that he was a protector or servant of sorts to the Seer.
Sef walk into the main corridor of the great palace and looked about in hopes to see the great seer. He had no messages for her but he had his duty to make sure she remain unhindered in her plans.

"Sef, pleasure to see you today," Sadah said from the windowsill that she was sitting on, soaking in the warm sunshine. The Sun lit up her light brown hair as she her slightless eyes looked in the general direction of Sef. She got up from her seat and walked over to him, "A servent told me that the Nile is sparkling with the sun today," she said taking the man's large hand. She had always held affection for the man, but she never expressed it do to their master, and the fact that they were only to think of his bidding, "I'm assuming it's a beautiful day out then."

Sef never took the time nor care to enjoy such a sight when such and event as today held. Sef was on duty as far as he was concerned. If he did not focus on what was important, a quick death would be a welcomed over what the Phaero would do to them.
Sef kneeled before the Great Seer as she took his hand. He did not think she was his better but appearances must be kept up until fate played out it's course. Sef bow his head to Sabah before speaking.
"I am sorry Seer, I did not noticed. Forgive me for my lack of appriation for my sight." Sef said knowing he did take his sight for granted but at least he knew it. If he ever lost it, then he would worry about it. Nothing stopped Sef from completing his goals or over coming barriers and obstiscles in his way.

Sabah's ears twitched and hearing no one nearby and leaned towards Sef, "Today is our master's day," she whispered to him her eyes glowing slightly, "The moon will be bright tonight and the Pharaoh's stomach will be filled with vine and feast, he will slumber heavily. When the moon is at it's highest our master must strike and he will take the throne for his own," she said before taking a step away, but she was still holding Sef's hand, "You must go now and tell him of this, and that I am well. And perhaps once your off duty you can enjoy the day," she said and went back to the window and sat down and closed her eyes enjoying the sun hitting her face.

Moswen nodded to Layla, "I expect the Pharaoh is waiting for me?" she asked straightening her robes and tightening her grip on her staff as a large fellow walked past her, "What an old fellow," she murmured before turning back to Latla, "Please take me to his Highness."

Sifiye entered the room, balancing the bowl on one hand as he did so. "Miss, I have come to wash your feet if you have a moment..." He said softly, his head still bowed slightly.

"Of course Sifiye," Mandisa smiled gently.
Elektra nodded to Sabah and led her towards the throne room. She wasn't much for seer's, but it was the Pharaoh's bidding. Like a good soldier, she followed it.
