And in the parchment I have found… IV

Scene IV

The heliographic read “The birth of the child came in a stillness night, marked only by the shooting stars that flashed through the night sky.” A nameless boy, for the boy’s name like his mother’s was stroke out, I would be referring to his name as (X). I continued reading “Days upon days came on to the child’s life he grew into a wonderful lad. Reaching an age of schooling he was sent to study how to read and write as well as the various sports and arts of war, all are fields which he excelled in over his peers. His mentors would describe him with strength & beauty that could only be compared to a young god with a flaming brilliance.

As the boy that he was, (X) came one day crying to his mother, pleading with her to tell him of his father for in school he was mocked for he was with out father. That evening (??) called upon (X), she pointed her finger to the old man who sits at their gate and told (X) ‘Do you see that blind man? That is your father’. Angered the boy was at his mother’s answer, shocked he was at the figure of his father. (X) left his mother whilst shouting at her ‘Then you should have gathered your family and were judged by an alligator’.
So, was the ancient Egyptian belief in the alligator to be a god of vengeance of wrong doers. I thought to myself.

Silence came between the lad and his mother for a long time.
