Prelude I: The Beginning
Ra’s Kingdom, Earth, Ancient Egypt
Valdune struggled against bonds that held him. The design was clever, death metal lined with silk so as not to burn him but exposed enough to thwart his magics and drain his strength. It was a temporary situation he was certain. No mortal, even one possessed by the Sky Demons, had ever held one of the Folk for long. Indeed, without the strange magics of the Sky Demons, he would never have been captured.
He relaxed again concentrating on building his strength. The chamber was as cleverly designed as his restraints. Death Metal lined the walls and door. The flow of power, already weak due to the distance from a nexus, was cut down to a mere trickle, barely adequate to keep him alive. He was however building up a reserve of power. Just enough for one good attack.
~~~
Ra had not been this excited in over a millennia. The project on which he had spent the last 20 Earth years was coming to fruition; he had managed to capture one of the Faerie. He looked up as Khepri and Sia entered his throne room.
“My Lord Ra,” Khepri said in the reverberating voice of one blended with the Goa’uld.
“Khepri,” Ra nodded. “I congratulate on your success at capturing our prize.”
“Thank you, my Lord.”
“Are you certain you can capture more?”
“Yes my Lord, the techniques we developed combined with the knowledge we will gain from this one will ensure that we can capture as many as we need for hosts.”
“Excellent, if these creatures prove as useful as hosts as I suspect, my dominance of the System Lords and the galaxy is assured. Khepri, as reward for your efforts, I will allow you to blend with this first specimen.”
“I am honored, my Lord.”
Khepri was under no illusions as to his Lord’s intentions. He knew as well as Ra that the blending with such an alien host may well fail with tragic consequences for the Goa’uld, thus Ra would not risk the first such blending himself. But it was still a sign of the trust Ra placed in him that he allowed Khepri this honor. If the blending worked the resulting host would be powerful, maybe even powerful enough to challenge Ra himself, so Ra would only allow his most trusted lieutenant to be the first.
“Go then, the priests are waiting.”
Khepri bowed and left the room. Ra turned to Sia.
“What have you to report?”
“My Lord,” Sia said bowing. “There is increasing unrest among the Human slaves. The project to capture the specimen has involved many more resources than expected as well as many of your servants and Jaffa. To compensate, the task masters have increased the workload and applied more stringent discipline among the slaves. It has produced unrest among the slaves. A task master was murdered last night.”
Ra walked over to the window looking over the city below.
“Pathetic creatures,” he said. “If it were not for me they would still be scrambling in the mud and scratching at fleas.”
Sia was wise enough not to point out that this was the current state for much of the slave population still.
“They will learn to respect their God. Round up and execute 500 slaves and inform them that for every incident of violence against their God, 500 more will die.”
“Yes, Lord.”
Sia left at his dismissal to accomplish the task as Ra, the issue already forgotten, turned to the display crystal to watch the events soon to unfurl in the special dungeon below.
~~~
The door opened and six of the armored Humans the Sky Demons employed as troops entered the chamber. Valdune watched them warily, doing his best to appear subdued, although it wasn’t much of a pretense. There were too many to waste his carefully hoarded energy on. He could slay them but he would spend too much energy doing so and in this Death Metal cell he could not be sure of killing them quickly. He had seen the death their strange metal staffs could deal and in his weakened state he couldn’t risk it.
Another figure entered the chamber. This human wore no armor and carried a clear container like fish bowl in which some creature swam. The Priest of Ra chanted a prayer as he lifted the lid off the container. Some instinct spread alarm through Valdune as the Goa’uld within rose and oriented on him with a hiss. The Faerie Lord began to summon his magical energy when the Goa’uld symbiote leapt from the container to land on his neck. Before he could turn his fire on the creature it burrowed into his neck and disappeared.
Valdune screamed and the pent up energy was released consuming the priest and Jaffa in a conflagration of bael fire that reduced them to ash leaving their armor and weapons unharmed.
Valdune collapsed against his restraints. His eyes flashed.
“I am Khepri,” he said in Goa’uld. “You will submit!”
“No!” Valdune stiffened and the metal cuff exploded from his arms.
He stood momentarily staring at the chamber around him and then slowly bent over and picked up one of the iron pieces in his bare hand. He grinned as he stared at it. Then the grin became a laugh that echoed through the dungeons.
~~~
Ra yelled and snapped at his court. He saw the captive scream and then the crystal had gone blank as some energy flooded the chamber. He paced the throne room as he waited for the Jaffa he had dispatched to find out what had happened to report back. He was oblivious to the activity going on in the courtyard outside the palace.
~~~
The staff weapons spoke as the group in the center of the courtyard fell to the energy blasts. Men, women and children chosen at random to be an example.
“This is the fate of those who would defy their God!” The priest called out to the crowd.
The crowd murmured angrily but no one dared speak out as the Jaffa’s staffs stood ready.
A rumble of thunder rolled over the crowd as a bolt of lightning struck the priest killing him instantly.
“Foolish mortals fearing a pathetic snake that calls itself a God!”
Standing at the top of the steps the palace, Valdune rained down another bolt on the Jaffa in the square. The Jaffa fired back only to have their bolts stopped by an unseen barrier.
“Rise up mortals! Free yourself of the false god Ra!”
A roar came up from the crowd slowly at first then with growing momentum as the slaves turned on the Jaffa and overwhelmed them.
Valdune turned and cloaking himself in a veil of shadow disappeared. He chuckled as he walked away. The display of power had cost him, in his weakened state a few more blasts would have penetrated his shield but the effort was worth it. Valdune was very familiar with controlling Human slaves and what it took to break that control. He would easily escape this place in the turmoil he had created.
~~~
Author's Note: This project has been sitting idle for at least two years now. I had stopped while I went back to finish a prequel story I was writing (Passing) but then two things happened that brought my writing to a complete halt. First, I had been doing most of my writing during my lunch breaks on my Palm Pilot. It is really amazing what you can do with those PDAs,I would sit in the cafeteria in the corner with the Palm Pilot and an infrared key board and would get a good hours worth of work done and it was a great break from the stress of the day. When I would get home at night I'd down load it all the my computer and polish it up.
Unfortunately, the security in my building imposed a ban on personal electronics and shortly after that the Palm Pilot died which left me to having to do all my writing at home.
This wasn't so bad but it was slower because I had really too many distractions at home and then I discovered the biggest distraction of all Second Life. I set a clone of Kit as an avatar and started playing in that wonderful free form world in a hobby that came to obsess all my free time. Thus my writing ground to almost a complete halt.
Now two things have happened to allow me to restart writing again. A restaurant opened next to where I park my car and I found a blue tooth keyboard that works with the Blackberry I replaced the Palm Pilot with. So now I am able to do my writing at lunch again. As I get back up to speed and get the feel for my story arc and characters again I hope to get back to publishing weekly.
I'm still on Second Life as Kit Giha. He is a far different Kit than the one in the stories, sort of what Kit might have become if he had never met Shippo. But if you're ever in that world say hi.
For my fellow geeks, I'm using a Blackberry Curve with an 8 meg memory card, a Freedom Pro Keyboard and the Documents to Go office suite. Final processing is being done on my HP Windows 7 computer with Open Office and Firefox to access the web site.
