Act 1: Out of Control
Straining in the heat, the blasted belting bellows, of tremendous scorching sunshine shone,
The light broke through with its golden beams. The market merchants started their sales.
As the crowds gathered and the starting sand storms settled and the blacksmiths sell their stone,
The crowds usually don’t meet much royalty, on their streets but there is always some tales.
The term magic was all but well banned in the small settlement called Mut, only able to reach by feet
A magician of the realms seems to bring great worry, woe, misery, and mystery.
The crowds began to banter and barter about the current disasters on the streets
The crowd’s poddle along, some gathering food for hunger, others the waters for the weak and thirsty.
But as they walked the Kings carriage comes bolting down carried by the 4 strong Anubis
At the present time Abu Ra, stormed past his gowns of much silk and fine material flutter in the wind.
The rumours must be true, the underworld has awoke once more
The rumours unsettle most merchants, with wives, families, fears they have sinned.
Fears of the unwinding word of magic seem to spread and therefore there was uproar.
The streets aren’t safe, and the merchants close as the Kings carriage comes to its halt.
His strange attire, facial features, baffled most King Ra was most at his unease with the underworld.
Hades would of spoke “Down I go, to the feast in the belly of the beast allot”
Much to the sorrows of those, there twisted tale was about to spiral and be twirled.
Twirling out of control as the King opened the doors and steps into the ground, to the world below.
It was what worried the fears of the citizens, that rumours were true,
That the underworld wanted to take control of upper-world, sick of living below,
They wanted what was not theirs the surface, but the citizens really had no clue.
Ra had much to discuss, as the Mandjet headed his way, two demon brothers boarded
There daunting figures set the King in stun almost just by looking at them as Styx blistered and bubbled
Not until the boats reached him could he be seat and boarded,
Act 2: Out of the Underworld
As the King meets the demon brothers, he seemed at odds by the blank, expression on one,
“Is something the matter?” Ra betwixed pointing at kitsune, who seemed lifeless, almost like a ghost
“Nothing sir, your pendant please” The towering demon hybrid speaks realising the time.
“We must be of” The drone brother takes the Anubii on his boat, almost engrossed
The towering hybrid takes the King alone; the pendant in hand seems to fly across the river.
Unbeknown to the King that in the underworld Kain had struck down the mighty Apophis,
His power was given to the one who’d slain him, only after the underworld rapture.
The towering hybrid speaks once more “You do know the news is spreading” he did hiss.
As the boats reached the other side the King already felt meek without his pendant on.
The solar energy kept the older King strong, but soon bewildered as Kain kept it.
The regiment moved towards the lair, the rumors of the surface were anon
“So it’s true” he says in a meek tone, almost falling to his knees, just at the site of it
The stare of Kain was certainly taking its toll on the weak struggling king, coming to terms,
This was out of the underworlds control; the king knew what this was, the end of all of it,
The end of the sacrament, the end of the concordant between the Pharaoh before killed by worms
By the time he had reached the machines, the powerful pistons battering the floor above, the surface,
“You know this is suicide….” Finally it takes its toll, and the king is quiet the Anubii, are slaves.
They don’t try and save as the more Kain uses his eyes, the more the king sees his purpose.
“I propose we redraw the concordant what do you say Pharaoh Ra, you knave”
The King urges on screaming inside, internally knowing the concordant is all his people have
All he had protected fell to fiery floors of the underworld picking away like a woodpecker on an oak
Trees once aligned the lakes, would be fire, the water would be blood red, “It’s, it’s all I have”
He protest to fall pray, the King forming into the beast he really is, until he broke
Till he was the scrawny slug, the leech of society that he would become in later,
Since Kain felt as the more the King tried the more he would turn into the parasite he was…
Act 3: ‘Out, Out Fair Candle Life is But a Walking Shadow’
Kain cracked his grip over the king, who baa’d on now the brainless feral creature, reduced, to this,
Alas as the thundering drone of machines finally started to crack the surface, the cackle of thunder.
“In Egypt” a worker proclaims on the strange weather, rain, and water start to poured into this,
This creator in the ground, “We’re free” shouts the voices of many workers in roaring blunder
The surface seems darker the truth is unveiled and the creatures pour like ants out of the holes,
Onto the damp dull golden surface sand, that squishes beneath their bare toes.
“So this is Egypt?” Kain announces his displease, spitting on the sandy knolls
Onward they clamped through the thunder through the rain, flares of the spitting water on their soles
“Out plebeians this is my City” Cries Kain, from the mountain, floods of creatures such as trolls
“Out of my way” he laughed, cackling at the thunder billows the scream of the skies above
“Cry petty sky, for this is my day” he speaks onto the dumb orcs and trolls as before,
“The entire city, kill them all” their eyes turn red, almost instantly and the city screams.
The King left to watch rivers turn red; his city turned to ruins his father before and father before,
The King still baa’d on in hope his people would hear his plea but as the city screams.
He finally sees the light, the power to become a weak, old man restored, just as before.
He looks on his knees, to the city screams, as he recalls to his new master
“Out, out fair candle, life is but a walking shadow”
Notes:
Mut which meant mother in the ancient Egyptian language, was an ancient Egyptian mother goddess with multiple aspects that changed over the thousands of years of the culture. Alternative spellings are Maut and Mout. She was considered a primal deity, associated with the waters from which everything was born through parthenogenesis. She also was depicted as a woman with the crowns of Egypt upon her head. The rulers of Egypt each supported her worship in their own way to emphasize their own authority and right to rule through an association with Mut.
Some of Mut's many titles included World-Mother, Eye of Ra, Queen of the Goddesses, Lady of Heaven, Mother of the Gods, and She Who Gives Birth, But Was Herself Not Born of Any.
Abu Ra was the ancient Egyptian solar deity. By the Fifth Dynasty (2494 to 2345 BC) he had become a major god in ancient Egyptian religion, identified primarily with the midday sun. The meaning of the name is uncertain, but it is thought that if not a word for 'sun' it may be a variant of or linked to words meaning 'creative power' and 'creator'.
The major cult centre of Ra was Heliopolis (called Iunu, "Place of Pillars", in Egyptian), where he was identified with the local sun-god Atum. Through Atum, or as Atum-Ra he was also seen as the first being and the originator of the Ennead, consisting of Shu and Tefnut, Geb and Nut, Osiris, Set, Isis and Nephthys.
In later Egyptian dynastic times, Ra was merged with the god Horus, as Re-Horakhty ("Ra, who is Horus of the Two Horizons"). He was believed to rule in all parts of the created world the sky, the earth, and the underworld. He was associated with the falcon or hawk. When in the New Kingdom the god Amun rose to prominence he was fused with Ra as Amun-Ra. During the Amarna Period, Akhenaten suppressed the cult of Ra in favour of another solar deity, the Aten, the deified solar disc, but after the death of Akhenaten the cult of Ra was restored.
The cult of the Mnevis bull, an embodiment of Ra, had its centre in Heliopolis and there was a formal burial ground for the sacrificed bulls north of the city.
All forms of life were believed to have been created by Ra, who called each of them into existence by speaking their secret names. Alternatively humans were created from Ra's tears and sweat; hence the Egyptians call themselves the "Cattle of Ra." In the myth of the Celestial Cow it is recounted how mankind plotted against Ra and how he sent his eye as the goddess Sekhmet to punish them. When she became bloodthirsty she was pacified by mixing beer with red dye.
Mandjet Ra was thought to travel on two solar boats called the Mandjet
Pendant The ‘Pendant of Ra’ was a myth of the ruler explained above, his pendant apparently had the power to make him live forever converting sunlight into energy or so is said by explores of his tomb.
Apophis The God of chaos, was an enormous serpent who attempted to stop the sun boat's journey every night by consuming it or by stopping it in its tracks with a hypnotic stare. During the evening, the Egyptians believed that Ra set as Atum or in the form of a ram.
