Disclamer: I don't own Di-gata, or The ideas of Ancient Egypt. But The land of Geb is mine, so is Seng, Isia, Nenthis, Nefret and Ramses. Also the bread. I like my bread. But I'm pretty sure Seth will not. Okay, on with my first chapter of my story. (Note: Heh means Infinity in Egpytian, and infinity and infanis are close enough for me.) "Nefret, please! Don't go!" Ramses begged his sister as he clung to the rains of her horse. "No, listen. I'm tierd of this. This world is too- too- too perfect." She said with a deep sigh. Since the beggining of time, her ansestors had fought Seng, the evil one. Years of battles, time after time, the fought and ultimitly, Seng and his followers, thoguh they won many battles, lost the war. He was bannished to Isia knows were, and now there was nothing to do exept paint pictures of your ancestors acompishemnts. She had dedicated her life in the library, learning the craft of the gods that no-one bothered to do since her great grandmother. She practeced with bow and sword when the day was to nice to be inside. Her twin knew this, but no matter how much training she had, he didn't let go. "Too perfect?!?!" He yelled in alarm, Nefret hushed him, for it was the middle of the night, and she didn't want him to wake anyone, "What do you mean to perfect? How can something be 'Too perfect?" He asked in a hushed voice. She met his eyes, and said solemly, "Remeber when were children, we used to pretend to fight Seng?" "Yes." "Well, I relise that that is how I want to live. With adventure. Not sitting on my butt all day and watching plays about days long ago. I found a spell that will take me some were out side of Geb. Some were far away. A place were bandits still exist, and people work to get what they need. What a world is supposed to be. Thats why I'm going." Ramses gave an understanding smile. He droped the rains. Nefret smiled. "Good luck, but I'm going to study the Nenthis Travil spell till I can do it, and if your not back in a year, then I'm comming after you." "I wouldn't expect anything else." She muttered a few words under her breath and her hand glowed a brillant red. She drew a cirlce in the air with her hand and steped through the portal she had created. "Gooooood Byyyyyyyyeee!!!!" She called as the portal closed. "WHAT IN THE DUAT DID I DO?!?!?!" Ramses yelled to him self. What had gotten over him, he had to go and get her, and fast. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay, I am HUNGRY. We haven't had a good sized meal in ages!" Seth complaind. They had set up a camp in small grouping of trees, it was enough to give some cover, but not enough to count as a forest. Mel looked at him. "No, we haven't had a SETH sized meal in ages. You'll be fine, gorging your self can't be healthy any ways." Mel said, tossing another stick on their fire. Erik chuckled as he fiddled with the stormers. Kara was looking at a little mouse like creater as it played with some string she gave it. Kara looked up from her amusment. "Any one here that?" She asked, as she looked around. Sure enough, you could here a 'clip-clop' sound. Seth got up and poked his head out side the grouping of trees. He saw a tall figure in a brown tunic, with a dark red scarf/ cape thing, that covered most of her face, showing her dark eyes. Her hair was black, but was covered by a gold and blue bandana. She rode a large brown horse with a blanket for a saddle and a few saddle bags. A small grey cat was curled up in her lap and naping. She seemed to be trying to tear at a peice of bread and muttering angrly. Seth stuck his head back into the 'forest.' "It's just some one eating bread, of which I wouldn't mind some, and riding an animal." "Oh, cool. Well, I made a stew of some kind." Mel said, holding out a pot. Seth compleatly forgot about the figure and started to eat rapidly. They all laughed as stew covered Seth clothing.

"Okay, I give up, this bread is not edible." Nefret said, looking at the bun in her hand. It was about as hard as rock and she couldn't bite into it. She had grown accustem to the light and fluffy bread of bakerys, this was homemade traviling bread, will never parish, but it's hard to eat. She gave a sigh and tossed it over her sholder. She stroked Henu's head as Sa clopped on. She looked up at the clear night sky, this was the first time she had ever seen a sky so clear. In the eternal desert that is Geb, the sky is filled with clouds of dust blowing around in the wind. She shivered, it was cold here, much colder than her home. She pulled her scarf around her closer, she should stop and get some rest, she saw a large cliff not far off, if she slept at the foot, it would be safer. She steered Sa in that direction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mel, this is really go-" Seth, who had just finished his stew was hit in the head with a flying object, it knocked him unconsious. "Seth!" the other defenders cried in alarm. Mel and Erik put him on his mat, knowing they would just have to wait till he woke up, though a lump started to form on his head. Kara picked up the object that hit him. "Um... Seth was knocked out by, a bread bun?" She looked at it. It was a light brown and ciercular. Mel and Erik looked at her unbelivingly. "It can't be a bread bun! It must be, an odd rock, you can't be knocked out by bread!" Mel said, looking at it. Erik to it from Kara and did a quick scan. "It's bread alright. I wounder what Seth will think when he finds out food betrayed him?" Erik said with a laugh as he hit the bun agenst the ground, this was the oddest thing, how did some one bake bread to a rock hard state. Kara and Mel gave a small laugh, "This will be interesting, still, I hope Seths okay." Mel mused, looking at Seth. "Don't worry Mel, it will take a lot more than food to take Seth down." Kara said reasuringly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Nenthis travil spell, uh... Here it is!" Ramses studied the spell, he had no idea what it was talking about. It had odd terms and weird words with a few illistrations. "The idiots guide to spells' my butt. I can't make heads or tails of this, and I'm not an idiot. Man, how am I suposted to tell Dad that his only daughter just left out world... Darn." He slamed his head onto the desk, there was only 30 minuets left befor dawn, he couldn't learn magic in that ammount of time, then it hit him, he could lie. Atlest untill he could get her back, he could say she went on a joureny of self dicovery thought the deserts of Geb till she reached Sobec, the great river that flowed through the relm, and sail on a boat till she reached home again, that might work, it would have to work. He looked up through the skylight at the blowing sand and said, "Isia, watch over Nefret. She can't do this with out you."

"It is cold." Nefret stated, gathering a bunch of dry wood into a pile. Henu shivered and Sa gave a winnie in responce. She smiled, and looked at the pile of wood, pointed her open palm at it and spoke softly, "Khet." From her hand shot a small ball of fire, alighting the wood. Her animal companions came closer to warm up. Nefret put her hands on her hips. "Now we need to do something about dinner." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Huh- what hit me, it felt like a rock..." Seth ground, sitting up and rubbing the bump on his head. "Well, you weren't hit by a rock exactly..." Mel said, picking up the infmous bun. She tossed it to Seth and he looked at it. "A bun?" He asked unbelivingly. "Yup." Eric said, turning a screw. "This sin't a bun. I can be a bun." "Well, it is." "No, it's an odd rock." "Thats what Mel said, but it really is a rock." "Thats not possible. Who would bake bread to this hard?" "An idiot?" Eric suggested, shrugging his sholders. Seth looked at him in disbeleaf. "Look Seth, it's bread. Stop arguing!" Karra said, staning up. "I'm going for a walk." Karra stated to leave when Eric stoped her. "No, your not, your going to bed." Kara gave Eric the stink eye, and run under his arm and through the thin vail of trees. "KARA! Come back here!" Eric called, chasing after her. Karra only laughed and sped up.
The game of cat and mouse continued, until Kara bumped into a large form. It made a growling sound and picked up Kara. In the moon light, she saw the face od Malco. She started to struggle. "Let go of me!" she screamed, flinch cackled. "Ha would you look at that! A deffender walks right into our hands! Lord Nazmul will be so happy!" he said happly. But his eyes widened as Eric's voice yelled out "Flash Blast!" Flinch was shot backwords. "I forgot about her brother." He wined. Eric aimed at Malco, but befor he, Seth or Mel (Who had joined the party when Kara yelled) could attack, a female voice was heard, it yelled, "Ian-ba!"(meaning "Moon-soul) It was the robed figure Seth had seen befor, she held her hands up, palms faceing Malco, when an odd sliver, almost liquiedshot from them and tied up Malco's libms. In his suprized, Malco dropped Kara. She scrabled over to her brother. Malco quickly broke the binds and turned to face his attacker. "Malco! Come on, this is a pointless fight!" Flinch said, opening up a portal, Malco grunted and followed Flinch through.

"WHAT!" Bellowed a tall man with a weird hat on his head. Every one winced. Phaoroh Thomos was not a man to be messed with. "Nefret went on a, uh, joureny of self dicovery thought the deserts of Geb till, um, she reached Sobec, and, uh, sail on a boat till she reached home again, father." Ramses was sweating. This was a really really bad idea. He thought looking up at his father. His eyes shone with hatred. "You expect me to belive that?" "If you would be so kind." "Ramses, my son, I don't like being lyed to. Were is your sister?" "Well, ahem, she used a magic spell to transport her self to Ra knows were and uh, well, live a 'non-perfect' life." Thomos buried his face in his hads. "Teenagers." He muttered. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How did you do that?" Kara asked, looking at the robbed figure. "Um... pratice? Reading? Consentration?" She really didn't know how to answer that. "So your a wizered of Yan?" Mel asked, exited. The girl looked confused. "I'm going to pretend I know what that is. Any way. I'm Nefret." She held out her hand. Seth shook it. "I'm Seth, this is Eric, Kara and Mel." "Nice to meet you all. I'm glad I could help. But-" A loud nagh was heard and the hiss of a cat, "I've got to get back befor my hoarse tramples my cat." She walked away. Well, this was an interesting first day...

Brackus looked at Flinch with what could be discribed as pure, abnormal furry. "So Flinch, you expet me to belive you and Malco were bested by a little girl shooting silver liquied from her hands?" Flinch studdered for a bit and said, "Well, um, uh, yes." "HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY INTELEGENCE WITH YOU FOOLISH STORYS!" Brackus thundered. Flinch jumped back, "I'll bring her two you! Then you can see!" "Of coarse Flinch. And while your at it, bring me all the deffenders gift wraped with red ribbons." Brackus said with a sour touch of false sweetness.

"Hunu! Get away, oh, hey, do not give me the kitty eyes! Sa, your name means protection, not trample, GAH!" Nefret fumed, pulling her to animals away from each other. It was odd, the rarely fought. The only ever foaght when... "Of for the love of Isia!" Nefret reached into on a Sa's sattle bags and pulled out a cobra like snake. "Aep... I should kill you right now, But I'm not going to. She shoved the snake back into the bag and sat down beside the rock. The cat and the hoarse had stoped fighting, because Henu fell asleep. Nefret felt her self nodding off. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That was weird, but really cool! Why can't you do that Mel?" Kara asked, wiggling into her sleeping bag. "Because I have no idea how she did it! She didn't use sigles and the words she used, I've never heard them befor. 'Ian-ba.' I wonder what it means? Hemmm" Mel pondered. He was looking up at the sky, her hands under her head as she lay in her own bed. "What ever it was, it was creepy." Eric said, proping him self up. He yawned as Seth drop her bedroll and droped onto it with a satifide thump. "We'll find her in the morning and..." Seth fell asleep, snoring almost amidiatly. "Our fearless leader, his snoring could wake the dead." Mel laughed as she closed her eyes and drifted off, followed by Eric. "I'm I the only one who doesn't want to sleep?" Kara pouted. "Go to sleep kara." Eric mumbled, turning over. "Alright, alright." Kara closed her eyes and was asleep in a moment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Zazamankh- one, you need a new name, two, why did you think it was a good idea to teach my reckless teenage daughter magic?" Pharoh Thomos ask an old man with a long this white beard. "It is an old tratition Pharoh Thomos (Life helth strangth to you). She must learn it Seng ever game back." "He wont come back. He was destroyed." "No! Her was imprissoned with the Nenthis travily spell in a land called RaDos, contaning his power in a stone. The gods stone." Ramses palled at the name of the spell his sister used. "Father? WE have a big problem."

RaDos was quiet, at lest this part. Nefret turned in her sleep, partly because she was useing a rock for a pillow, partly because the bread disagreed with her (heck, it dissagres with nature!) and partly because she was fearful for her twin. She had asked him to lie, and now, well, he might be dead. But she knew her father, the pharoh, would never do that, but it didn't stop the nightmares.
'She could see it, his walking, clad in black, every one of her 15 other brothers and her self were crying. But then, suddenly, the room faded away. It became nothing but a bright light, and a figure amerged. It was a sliluet of a woman, but Nefret knew who it was. Isia, goddess of magic, and her protecter. The figure started to speek, "Find it. The gods stone, it is hear. Your family is safe, but no one will be, if you don't find it. Find the people you just met, if you help them, they will help you. You want the same thing, to save the relm, wether it be Ged or RaDos. Find it, and your spiret can find rest in the afterlife." Suddenly the figuer dissapered into the light.'
Nefret woke up, sweat covered. The cat sleeping on her cheast jumped up and alarm and hissed at her. She stroked Henus head softly. "Even here..." She said softly, watching dawn brakeing on the horizon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seth was dreaming, but his was weird, the same seen over and over again. It was a battle, but with a shadow. He would fight, and seem to be loseing, but then he would pull through and beat it with the nova stone. Over and over again, but every time it came as a shock.
Eric's dreams were odd to say the least. He dreamed he was fixing a rubber duck with a bar of soap. Then he was fixing the shower head with the duck, then the shampoo bottle with the shower head, then the bubble bath with the shampoo bottle and the soap with the bubble bath. He woke up, dawn was on the horizon, and all he could think of was how much he needed a bath.
Kara's dreams seemed noexistant. She woke up every hour or so, not remebering what she dreamed but knowing it was interesting. She woke up again to find Eric sitting up. She cralled over, took a wif of his and said softly, "Pee-eew ERic, you smell!" "I know, but I don't know why." Her answered softly back. Kara looked at the lump under his bed. "Aww! Yuck!"
Mel was having a wizered dream. It was the megalith and Nazmul with Alnar. The two humans were calling to her, and she walked over. They held out a stone. it was black as space with a silver simble on it. it looked like a star, or many stars, glowing silver to show a pictuer of what seemed to be and long animal face. She looked at it over and over as the two adults repeated the same words over again, "Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba. Ian-Ba...."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brakus was dreaming two. But for some odd reson I really don't want to know about what. He's probably ruling RaDos with Iliana as his queen and the deffenders searving him tea. and Nazmul? Lets not know what his possision in Brakuses dream is.

Thomos sat in his throne with no one esle in the room but his five sons, Horemheb, Tutankhatem, Sekemtimet, Kehnam and Ramses, and his head magician, Zazamankh. "Okay, so my only daughter has run of to a place called 'RaDos' using the same spell that was used to imprision Seng." "Right, Pharoh." Zazamankh nodded his head. "And how much do we know about this RaDos place?" He asked. Horemheb tossed him half a scroll. on it was writen on sentence, 'Greener than Geb.' The pharoh sighed and crumpled the paper. "Do we know how to get her back?" "Well, Pharoh, is she could acess the gods stone, she could draw on it's energy to get her back. But the risk is she free's Seng into both our world and the other, each half of him at full power." "It's the best we got. Kehnam." "Yes Father?" Kehnam was the oldest son and the heir to the throne. "It is your duity to protect the royal family as heir the the throne. You have failed in keeping your sister, Nefret, safe. So, to redeam you honour, you must go after her and bring her back. Zazamankh, if you please." Thomos sat back and watched as Zazamankh preformed the spell. Kehnam was given his horse, Onuris, and a pack containing food and suplys. "I will not fail." He said as he walked through the portal. As it closed Thomos looked at his remaining children. "All we can do is pray."
