> Tefnut has blessed us with rain
> I avoid walking about, as the rain would ruin my tunic
> I spend most of the morning with the night sky, or as she calls herself, Luna
> The rain lightens later in the day
> I exit my home, intent on establishing myself in the community
> I meet once more with Rarity
greetings once more Rarity
> "yes, it's always nice to have you here Anon"
Is there anything I may assist?
> "well, if you're looking to help, I need some errands run"
name it, and it shall be done
> Rarity tells of a list of tasks
> I quickly memorize them, and depart
> first, go to the sweetbread store and purchase some breads
> I do so, and meet the pink one
> "Well hiya anon, nice to see you again"
yes, it is always a pleasure
> "what do you have going on?"
I am running errands for Rarity
> "that's awful nice of you Anon"
Yes, and what are you doing today?
> "oh nothing, just being my usual self!"
> I exit
> next, buy some flowers
> approach flower vendor
half a dozen roses please
> she is startled
> "wha-what are you?"
I am a human, now my flowers
> "oh, yes yes, here"
> I take my flowers
> day proceeds with little excitement
> I return and deliver my completed tasks to rarity
> I receive a slight recompense
> "thanks, Anon"
of course
> Evening is beginning
> The night sky visits once more
> she brings with her a chariot drawn by bat-horses
> I marvel at the machine for a moment
> "Hello again anon"
Greetings....Luna
> "What of your day?"
I did little, I helped my next door liver complete some tasks
> A loud crash is heard in town
> I immediately take the chariot
> the night sky follows on her wings
> flying in the chariot
> I feel as Ra
> A large snake is attacking the town
> ponies below flee in fear
> several ponies try to fight
> all are quickly vanquished
> I feel the Ankh on my chest pulsate with heka
> The gods are on my side
> A bow appears in my hands
> I draw, and an arrow of Isis follows
> I fire, hitting the snake in the mid body
> disturbed by the arrow, the snake draws its attention to me
> I fire another arrow, which penetrates into his cheek
> The snake breathes a stream of dark magic
> This snake is Apep, god of darkness
> The dark magic disturbs the chariot, but does not harm anything
> The night sky attacks
> Apep strikes at the night sky
> the night sky falls
> I swing the chariot, and catch her
> I quickly lay her safe on the ground
> I return to the air, the bat-horses drawing the chariot now on fire
> The chariot is now the Chariot of Ra
> truly, I am a chosen being
> I fire another arrow, piercing the eye of Apep
> Apep cries tears of blood as he retaliates
> he strikes at the chariot, knocking it to the left
> I nearly stumble out of the chariot
> I launch another arrow, but to little effect
> Apep strikes
> I fall from the chariot
> I approach the ground, certain it is my end
> I am caught
> the night sky awoke, and has saved me
> my ankh once more pulsates with heka
> an ax, the markings read of Anhur
> I charge, with the power of the war god on my side
> I reach Apep's tail
> he flails violently as I hack
> I am flung from him as he screams in anguish
> several shadows leap onto Apep
> the shadows resemble jackals
Anubites?
> I regain myself and climb once more onto Apep
> I scramble up the length of the massive god
> I reach his head
> I cleave into the bridge between the eyes
> Apep bellows a mighty roar
> the Anubites continue to attack
> I slash into Apep's remaining eye
> "Anon, you have blinded me!"
> The snake rolls
> I dive, nearly being crushed by the monster
> I find myself once more on Apep
> I drive the ax one final time
> It digs into Apep's skull
> Apep lets out a final roar, before falling himself onto the ground
> The ax vanishes, as do the anubites
> The wounds pour forth darkness
> I collapse as the darkness reaches my nose
> I arise next morning
> at breakfast
> I issue a dedication to the gods for protecting me, and assuring my victory over the demon
> I enter the town, to see the damage caused
> the center of town was hurt the largest
> Some ponies cheer me
> others fear the power the gods bestowed on me
> I am told to address the people on the town meeting platform
People of ponyville, fear not. I have no intentions of harm to you. Your most benevolent leader spared me from certain demise, and I seek to protect her and her people. The gods bestowed upon me great power in assuring I accomplish my duties in protection, but I am a mere mortal, and cannot permanently remain powerful as the gods. I have yet, no more power. So fear not, for I cannot, and will not, harm you.
> Thunderous cheers from the ponies
> I am now a local hero
> This pharaoh doesn't banish me
> I spend the day enjoying the company of the Twilight
> "Anon, how did you receive those powers?"
it was heka, the magic of the gods, and of man.
> "why can you not always use this heka?"
man cannot be as powerful as the gods, lest they, in their flawed nature, challenge the gods themselves
> "will you ever be able to access this heka again?"
I know not the ways of the gods, I can only pray that I will have their support when I need it
> I asked her of heka in ponies
> ponies always have heka, but not as powerful as the pharaoh's
> I return in the evening, and the night sky joins me in slumber
