Chapter 18.
Z.- ¿Did you lose your mind Henry? ¿Why do you call so much?
H.- You must be really crazy!!! ¿How the hell can you explain to me what you were doing at the UN? I thought you were going to take a vacation, not that you would continue playing at being a heroine, we are in the 21st century, listen to me Zahyir, people will not be convinced by what you say even if you have all the PhDs in the world, because you are too young for them to believe in you, so stop playing and come back.
Z.- Until everything becomes memories, I can't, I'm sorry Henry, something changed in me and I am no longer the same Zahyir you knew; now everything is different.
H.- We remain strong through the difficult times until they pass and calm returns.
Z.- If I continue, ¿you will be at the end of the road right?.
H.- Even if you want to die for yourself, come back and let's start over; do not try to navigate alone in this ocean, because later than never you will end up being devoured by the same ocean.
Z.- Your words move me, but I have work to do, so stop pressuring me, let me find myself first and then find you Henry.
H.- I hope you get what you're looking for, but you'll never tell me what happened in the matter while you were traveling through antiquity fracturing the current timeline, right?
Z.- Give me time..
H.- That's what we don't have Zahyir, if you keep avoiding it you can't do anything, you just have to accept what you are, what you found you must accept in the end.
Without saying anything else I hung up and continued on my way, because I had to visit Egypt, I had to desecrate the tombs of some Pharaohs and I have to find RA; the best way to do this is to desecrate his tomb, find him and wake him up, even if I have to go to the underworld and bring him back to life.
So, I let my body fall into the sea and the current took me to the deepest depths, where the pressure can destroy your body, but for me it is like a huge pool, because even though I am unconscious I hear everything around me and I feel how the algae envelop my body and the oysters cover my clothes leaving me covered in such a way that it seemed like they formed a unique marine suit for me, one that allowed me to be unconscious, but feel everything that was around me.
Fortunately, some fishermen have not only caught their merchandise, but have brought me to the surface of the Nile River; who would say that while the current dragged me I would be expelled in the Nile.
ABU .- One of the fishermen who took me into his fishing boat was named ABU, and upon seeing me, he told his young blind son named Gurab that I was a sea woman and that surely, that was a bad omen, telling me on my knees to spare their lives, since it was not our intention to bother her or much less hurt me.
Z.- You must know that you have been fortunate to bring me to the surface; and if you do not wish to see me destroy your descendants, it will be better for you to do what I ask of you.
ABU.- Lady of the sea, I ask your forgiveness; this humble fisherman has worked all his life selling fish, please tell me if I have to make an offering to the sea to calm the waters.
This seemed to please me, I could feel his fear, his labored breathing, every beat of his heart, it seemed as if it were going to explode, I had to play a game.
A little one with this man, as it was quite charming for me to see him begging for forgiveness, so I began to light up my eyes and let my imposing figure grow, stirring the water in a fierce way.
Z.-¿ Do you want my forgiveness? .
ABU.- Yes, my Lady, tell me what I have to do, but don't devour us… I am only with my 16-year-old son, he is blind as you can see, but his other senses are sharper than normal, let me take care of him, since his mother died when he was very young and since then he works with me to earn a living.
I don't know why the words of that fisherman moved me so much, as if I suddenly wanted to help him, I felt guilty for wanting to take advantage of these men, it was not right for me to feed on their fear, since the man is an old man and his son is a teenager who cannot see, but still helps his father, ¿should I support him? ¿Should I try to stimulate his brain cells to obtain a pathogenic profile of his vision? Maybe this way I can restore this young man's sight, but since I also have to find the Solar Temple of Egypt, maybe they can help me; and if so, when RA wakes up, he can help them.
I know it is not right for me to use this drastic and medieval method, but maybe this way they would take me to the temple.
Z.- Let's make a deal.
ABU.- Lady of the sea, stop the storm and set us free.
Z.- ¿Do you want freedom more than your son's sight?
ABU.- ¿Can you restore his sight?
Z.- I can do that and much more; you will only have to guide me to the Solar Temple of RA where his remains rest.
ABU.- Madam, there are several solar temples there, but in the region known as ABU GURAB, and a kilometer and a half from ABUSIR, between Giza and Saqqara, on the western bank of the Nile River, is the area chosen by the kings of the Fifth Dynasty to build their funerary complexes and solar temples. Legend has it that this is the Temple of the Fortress of RA, also known as the solar temple of Userkaf.
Z.- ¿What are you waiting for? Take me to that place then and once I am inside the temple I will fulfill my part of the deal.
Thus, I returned to my real size and felt how each part of my body was invaded by my war suit, even the weapons hidden in it were summoned to complement my mortal body, shocking the fisherman who could not believe what was happening.
ABU.- Excuse me for being rude to you, but you will have to cover your armor and your face with a tunic if you want us to take you there without being stopped by the authorities.
Z.- Give me a tunic then; you better tell me how we will get there as soon as possible.
ABU.- Let me tell you while we disembark; my name is ABU and my son is called GURAB, we are poor and that is why we dedicate ourselves to fishing; he never went to school because I did not have the necessary resources to pay for his tuition, but he is very good at fishing and that is why he always accompanies me.
G.- We thank you for your compassion Lady of the sea, once again thank you for sparing our lives.
Z.- Call me Zahyir, because the name lady is unnecessary.
We soon disembarked and got into a horse-drawn carriage, because although they are poor and do not have many resources they wanted to give me the best, so they paid with what little they had.
Walking along the Nile to Abusir was an incredible and beautiful experience; upon arriving, we got off and continued on foot to reach the Temple of Userkaf,,,
We then passed through the archaeological site of Egypt leaving the people who were there bewildered about my identity; then, I took the hand of the young Gurab and his father Abu to give them the strength that was running out and to be able to continue on the path laid out, but I did not let that stop us from continuing even though night was already falling and the Hot Cold of the chills was present.
Because of this, Abu began to have ailments in his body that prevented him from continuing to walk; for his part, Gurab was afraid, very afraid; and secretly asked me to cut off his legs and give them to his father, but this broke my heart and I refused to do it, but because of that, he began to be incredulous of me.
