The Children Of Egypt - Pt6

Chpater 6

Husani Was Quickly Brought Into A Medical Room In The Palace. Cassra Followed Close Behind, And She Was Terrified. Husani Was Covered In Blood. When The Group Reached The Room, A Slave Turned To Her And Stopped Her. "My Lady...Perhaps It Would Be Best If You Didn't Come In." Cassra Was Crying, But She Nodded In Agreement. "Alright."
Cassra Sat By The Door Of The Room. She Was Asleep When She Heard Screaming From Inside. She Gasped With Fear. The Doctors Were Operating And Stitching Up Husani Without Any Painkillers; They Had Run Out. Husani Let Out Another Agonizing Cry, Which Made Cassra Crack. She Ran To Her Room And Slammed The Door Shut. She Sobbed On Her Bed.

The Sun Set And The Sky Turned Orange. Cassra Was Asleep When Her Door Opened. She Opened Her Eyes To See Fleerye, Set's Son, In His Human Form. Fleerye Was Frowning. "I Heard Husani Got Hurt, Cassra." Cassra Sighed. "He's Strong...Like Re. He'll Make It......You Shouldn't Be Here Fleerye. If Horus Found Out..." Fleerye Frowned Coldly. "I Don't Care What Horus Thinks, I Care How You Feel." Cassra Stood. "Fleerye...Your A Really Nice Young Man...But The Thought Of Horus Punishing, Even Killing You Is More Then I Can Bear!" Fleerye Sat In A Chair. "Perhaps He Will...But At Least I Would Have Shown Him That I Will Not Be Pushed Around Like Some Common Peasent." Cassra Washed Her Face In A Bowl Of Water And Dried It. "I...I Guess It Makes Sense......How Is Your Father Fleerye?" Fleerye Chewed Ah His Finger Nails A Little. "He's Sick, But Getting Better. I Guess It Was A Cold. He's Hungry As Well, So Am I, But We'll Get Through." Cassra Frowned. "Horus Can't Do This To You, It's Almost Barbaric!" Fleerye Chuckled. "He Can, He Will, And He Has, And He Doesn't Give A Damn About It." Cassra Frowned. She Went To Her Kitchen And Pulled Out A Sack Of Ground Wheat, And Brought It To Fleerye. "Take This Fleerye, Make Bread For You And Your Father. It's The Least I Could Do." Fleerye Frowned And Shook His Head. "Cassra, No, I'm Not Allowed!" Cassra Smiled A Little. "And I Don't Take No For An Answer." Fleeryre Pauses For A Second, Then Takes The Sack. He Smiles At Cassra. "Th-Thank You!...Thank You So Much!" Cassra Smiled. "It's Not A Problem...You Should Probably Go...It's Late." Fleerye Smiled. "I'll Be Back Soon." Fleerye Turns Into His Animal Form. He Holds The Sack In His Mouth Tightly And Bounds Out The Window. He Dissapers Into The Desert. Cassra Chuckled To Herself. "Bless Him."

Later That Night, Cassra Was Sleeping In Her Bed. A Knock On The Door Was Heard, Waking Her Up. Cassra Sits Up And Rubs Her Eye. "Come In!" The Door Opens And Bakari Comes In. "Cassra...Come To My Office." Cassra Jumped Out Of Bed, Got Dressed And Followed Bakari To The Medical Room.
Tankis Was Sitting On A Chair. He Had A Bandage Over His Left Shoulder, Where The Arrow Pierced It Earlier That Day. Bastet Was Asleep, Her Head In His Lap. She Was Just As Scared As Cassra Was. Cassra And Bakari Walk In. Bastet Wakes, And Both Her And Tankis Look Up At Cassra. They Both Frowned With Sympathy. Cassra Gasped Silently. "Is He...Dead, Doctor?" Bakari Looked At Cassra. "No...He Lost More The Three Forths Of His Blood. He Won't Be Able To Really Do Much Until His Blood Supply Is Restored." Cassra Began Crying. "Let Me See Him." Bakari Sighed And Lead Cassra To A Back Room. Husani Lay In An Operating Table, Shivering Sevearly. His Radiant Gold Skin Was Much Paler, And He Was Covered With Bandages And Stitches. Cassra Gasped At The Sight. For Once, She Felt The Same Concern And Sympathy That Husani Had On Her. Husani Left The Palace That Morning, Looking Radiant, Kingly And Powerful, Now He Looked Helpless, Broken And Miserable. Bakari Frowned. "If It Helps, My Lady, You Will Know That He Will Be Alright By The Time The Week Is Out.

By The Weekend, Husani Was On His Feet, Still Shakey, But Stable. Cassra Stood By Him, Holding His Arm Tightly. His Health Had Almost Become Normal.  The Last Few Days Had Been Really Hard On Re. Seeing His Son Is Such Made Him Really Upset. He Sat On His Throne, Thinking Gently. He Felt The Presence Of Dalila, His Wife. He Opened His Eyes And Looked Around; The Beautiful Tauren Was Approaching Him. When She Reached Him, She Bowed. Re Smiled. "Why Do You Bow To Your Husband?" Dalila Looked Up. "You Are My Husband, And My King." Re Stepped Down From His Throne And Smiled. The Tauren Smiled. The Couple Kissed And Hugged.
"How's Husani?" Re Nodded. "He's Well...He Is A Fine Young Man...So...Why Did You Come To Me?" Dalila Smiled, She Was Still Hugging Re Tightly, Her Head On His Chest. "...I'm Pregnant Again." Re's Smile Grew Larger. "Oh My...I-I See......And Who Is The Lucky Father Of This Child To Be?" The Beautiful Tauren Giggled Softly. She Kissed Re's Cheek Softly. "What, You Can't Remember That Night Together?" She Giggled. The Hawk Headed God Blushed. "No...I Suppose Not." Dalila's Smile Turned To A Gentle Frown. "Any Word On Thoth?" Re Frowned As Well. "Well...No...We Are Searching For Him...I Do Hope He's Alright...But We Do Know He's Not Dead...But Whoever Kidnapped Him Almost Killed Our Son, And I Am Determaned To Find Them...And When I Do...They'll Pay.

Tehuti, Husani's Non Identical Twin Brother, Was Painting A Wall With Beautiful Scenes Of Gods, Kings, Battles And Even Scenery, Such As The Nile. Tehuti Looked Very Much Like His Uncle, And Cousins, As He Has An Ibis Head. He His Feathers Had Recently Started Turning Brown To White, Although A Few Brown Feathers Could Still Be See On His Face, Like Freckles On A Mortal. Husani Slowly Rounded A Corner. He Gets An Eyefull Of The Beautiful Colors And Paintings Of Tehuti's Hand. Tehuti Turns Around. He Smiles And Puts A Bowl Of Paint Down. He Is On An Elevated Platform, So He Hops Down From It. "Hey There Big Brother!" Husani Smiles. "Tehuti." Both Shake Hands. Husani Looks Up At The Wall. "Well, Father Is Certianly Going To Be Impressed!" Tehuti Smiled. "Ha! I Aint Even Done Yet!" Husani Chuckled. He Walked Up To The Painted Wall. Husani Looked Closely. He Noticed A Group Of White Ibis Headed Figures, And All Of them Had Blue Vine Like Designs On There Face And Bodies. Husani Raised An Eyebrow And Turned Back To Tehuti. "Well, Tehuti, I Really Like Your Creative Mind. Very Nice! You Should Get Nice Blue Marking Like That!" Tehuti Cocked His Head To The Side. "Huh? What Are You Talking About?" Husani Points To The Figures. "Getting Creative With The Ibis Heads, Yeah?" Tehuti Shook His Head. "No! Of Course Not Brother! These Are People Thoth Used To Tell About. When I Was A Lad, Thoth Told Me About Ibis Headed Natives, Beautiful Ibis Headed People. The Men Were Strong And Mighty And The Women Were So Beautiful, They Could Not Be Described. Only People That Have Been Among Them Know These Stories. I Was Just Simply Expressing My Thoughts." Husani Shook His Head. "No, It's Fine...Very Lovely.........Hey Wait......Did You Say Natives?" Tehuti Nodded. "Yeah......Why?"
