And in the parchment I have found… VI

Scene VI

Nut (goddess of the sky) swallowed the sun disc giving a clear night sky lightened by millions of stars. (X) looked up at the stars and whispered to the night breeze that he shall have his father avenged if it was the last thing he would do in this life. After a long journey in the darkness of the after life the sun rose once again on the tenth day that marked his return to the Shepard in the grassy fields beyond the city walls.

“Where is my bull?” (X) asked the Shepard “I don’t see him amongst those who graze” the lad answered “My master came for it and told me to let you choose any of his in return for that which he has taken”. Anger came upon (X) and asked the Shepard for the staff which he used on the Shepard to force the Shepard to take him to Malice.

Arriving at Malice’s court of lies and deceit (X) asked the master of the court “your Shepard tells me that you have eaten my bull, is that true?”
“YES” was Malice’s strong answer aiming at throwing fear in the man’s heart. (X) then let go of the Shepard and drew his sword and easily overcame the guard’s futile effort to keep him from Malice, yet it was shortly that the blade now rested on Malice’s throat who laid on the ground at the foot of his throne and with (X) on top of him.

AWE stroke were the minions of Malice as their master was just about to be slew by a man that they know nothing of. Malice then spoke with a broken voice that showed only fear and humility “I wished not to rob you of your animal and I told the Shepard to give you all the animals that you wish for in return for your bull”. (X) then replied “YES, your servant has told me of your deeds and orders; Yet answer me this; why is it that none of your pathetic herds can not make up for my bull?” Malice’s broken voice spoke once again “Take the entire herds if you wish”. (X)’s answer was firm “Not even your entire herds would make up for my bull for it is larger than any bull that ever was or will be, if my bull was to stand in Balmon (a town central north of ancient delta of Egypt) it’s tail would twirl and touch the papyrus stems of the Memphis’s eastern marches (modern day Giza), its horns would take up all the country between the eastern and western mountains, while it’s male organs would be rest on the bed of the great river, every day would come with sixty of his off-springs.” With a shattered voice Malice answered “… but there is no bull of that size”. “A lair you call me even though I stand here with an eager blade to cut through your throat, Yet let us seek justice in the council of the gods and let them be our judges for their council sees and knows all” Malice was quick to agree for he was relieved to come from beneath (X) sword alive.

And thus (X) had forced Malice to stand once again before the council of the nine mighty gods…
