“…97, 98, 99 and 100. There you go, bro”, Rakeh said as he poured a hundred golden coins into a small bag and passed it to Tydeus.“Are you sure this is complete?” Tydeus asked Rakeh, smiling as he picked up his cup to sip some of his fresh wine.“Of course, you want to count it again?” Rakeh asked curiously.“Nah, never mind. I'm just joking”, Tydeus said as packed his bag of money off the table.“Don't worry; when Sakoh comes back with the balance payment, the calculation will be straightforward”, Rakeh said to Tydeus.“But why is he taking so long?” Tydeus asked Rakeh.“I don't know, he only has one job there, to just collect the balance payment and meet us in this bar. Maybe he's busy playing hide and seek with his little bird again.” Rakeh replied to Tydeus as he gulped some wine off his cup, too.“Or maybe those people are just delaying him”, Tydeus intercepted.“Delaying him? Under this hot sun? They better not. I told you those people don't look like they have our price. Somet

“Whhhooooaaaaaa!!” The rest of the crowd exclaimed in great shock. Did this man just throw out the hefty barbarian through the window with a single punch?As the remaining two members of the gang saw that their boss had just been defeated, they ran to attack Rakeh and his friend.The first one agitatedly came closer to Tydeus, but Tydeus immediately stood up from his chair and collided with his jaw using his head. This impact instantly brought out four teeth from the mouth of the gangster as he fell on his groins.The rest of the crowd in the bar burst into laughter as they saw this. The second gangster became confused, he didn't know who to hit, maybe Tydeus or Rakeh.He immediately faced Tydeus and began throwing punches at him. Tydeus stood his ground with his cup of wine as he dodged all the punches without flinching.As the gangsters kept throwing punches but kept missing everything, the crowd began laughing. Tydeus came close to the gangster again so he could land a hit, but h

Tydeus and his friends remained unshaken. They stayed in their seats, waiting for who and what was coming.Only a few people remained in the bar, as the rest had run outside. And all of a sudden, great silence took over the entire bar as everybody kept mute waiting for what was coming.Suddenly, two soldiers walked into the bar. They didn't look like ordinary soldiers, with the spear and shield in their hands, the kind of armour they were wearing and the symbol on their shield, they looked like they were from a palace or kingdom.Rakeh immediately signalled Tydeus, this might be a threat or something.The two soldiers came in and stood at the entrance as escorts, which they were; two other soldiers came from the entrance, too, but this time, with someone in their middle.The person was wearing a long black cloak which covered every part of the person's body, and the face was covered with a black hood.Tydeus remained on his seat wondering who it could be. Is he about to be arrested by

Isis, the king's loyal sorceress, arrived in Giza from Cairo with Tydeus and his comrades. The Giant gate of the city was opened for their horses and their chariots to ride in. Giza was pretty much in shape compared to other cities in Egypt which the civil war has ravaged. But into the city as Tydeus rode on his chariot with two big black horses and his friends also on their chariots, The villagers around the road all halted what they were doing and they started staring and looking at the new visitors who had just arrived in their city. Tydeus took his attention to the environment and the people around the road. They all looked sick like they had been suffering from some dangerous pandemic. Their huts and the houses looked like they were partly damaged. Even their children looked very unhealthy. The city must be filled with poor people or maybe the people are just suffering from something outrageous. Tydeus kept staring at the people of the village as his chariot moved sl

In the king's dining chamber, Tydeus and his comrades came in with the king, his palace guards and other chiefs of the land. They all sat on a big rectangular dining table with decorated chairs on each length. The table was filled with plates of different kinds of food and wines served by the king's palace chefs.King Nezeron decided to go straight to the point as Tydeus had suggested, and while eating and dining at the table, he began to narrate why exactly he had invited Tydeus and his companions to the palace.“When the Pharaohs of yesteryear built this nation, it was intended as one of the greatest Empires of all time…”“Egypt has been the richest and the greatest Citadel that has ever existed on the face of the earth…”“This nation has been a stronghold not only for the people but for other neighbouring countries. Our great government gave rise to many other existing nations on the face of the earth…”“But now Egypt is divided. The war has not only claimed lives but claimed our
