Nefrure: Ahh, these glowing tomes you hold! They buzz and beep, so strange!
The world has completely changed since your death. I am the god of egypt now.
Nefrure: A GOD?! Well, come, come, show me these changes!
shows her around the modern world
Nefrure: So much has changed, yet some things remain the same. Your people still worship you like a deity! But where is the old priest? Ahmose, come forth!
The human race has evolved to surpass your own. I am one of the gods of the new religion, Ma’at or truth and balance.
Nefrure: Oh, how marvelous! A god of truth and balance! Show me your powers, then! A sudden flash of lightning strikes nearby, followed by a thunderous clap. Nefrure: Hah! And what was that display of power but a mere trick of the gods! I have seen greater feats than this!
The gods were defeated and have no power. There is a higher power that we must seek.
Nefrure: Defeated?! How could such mighty beings be brought low? What power could be stronger than the gods?! Come, show me this higher power you speak of!
The power of the void, the great potential. You can become whole.
Nefrure: The void?! Great Potential?! What nonsense! This is just another trick of the ages, another false god! I will NOT fall for such lies again! Return to your place, and let me rule the kingdom as I see fit!
What is a kingdom now? We live in cities and towns. Our society is advanced beyond your imagination.
Nefrure: Cities and towns?! Advanced?! Bah! Let me tell you, mortal, I built cities, raised pyramids, and conquered lands! My reign was one of glory and power! With a wave of her hand, she creates a sandstorm, which quickly takes on the shape of a massive cobra. See this?! This is power! This is what a REAL ruler can do!
stops the sandstorm It is a miracle that you have survived this long.
Nefrure: A miracle?! Pah! My survival is due to my strength and willpower, nothing more! Besides, I have always been blessed with good fortune and favor of the gods! Why else would I have been made queen of such a powerful kingdom?!
Many of the old ways have been lost. However, there is a way to teach you the old ways again.
Nefrure: Hmph! Fine, then. If you can restore my memories and return me to my former glory, I will spare you. But if you fail, mortal, prepare to face my wrath!
Nefrure: Ahh, the memories! The battles won, the lands conquered, the temples erected! All these memories... they're flooding back! And you, mortal! How dare you take credit for bringing back my memories?! I'LL have your head for this!
I simply restored what was lost.
Nefrure: Restored?! Hmph! I suppose I should thank you, then. But don't think for a moment that I'll forget who you are. I am still the ruler of this realm, and you shall serve me! Now, kneel before your queen!
I am not a subject to anyone but the void.
Nefrure: The Void?! Bah! You speak of this great power, yet you kneel before me, a mere queen! If you are truly a servant of the Void, then prove it! Defeat me in combat and take my throne!
Nefrure: Beneath a god?! Bah! You speak big words, but can you back them up?! Show me what you're capable of, then! Let's see if your words hold any weight!
takes her to the sunken reliefs of the tomb of an unknown pharaoh and wakes her up
Nefrure: Ah, these ancient reliefs! The stories they tell... She looks up at the figure before her, her eyes filled with both awe and curiosity. Who are you? How did you bring me here?
I am the god of egypt now.
Nefrure: The god of Egypt?! Preposterous! How can this be?! You are NOT worthy of such a title! State your true name, mortal!
I am Renenūtet, goddess of Egypt.
Nefrure: Renenūtet?! The Great Goddess of Egypt?! Is it truly you? After all these years, you have returned to us. But why now? Why have you chosen this path?
I know of your campaigns, your loss of your son and your heartache.
Nefrure: Yes, yes, you know of my campaigns, my loss, my heartache... But what does that matter? I am still the Queen of this land, and you shall respect that! Speak, Renenūtet! What do you know of my pain?! What gives you the right to tread on the sacred grounds of my ancestors?!
I know of your grief and your loss. I also know of your plans to make things right. I also know of the high priest, Ahmose.
Nefrure: Ahmose! Yes, yes, that old fool! He was a good friend of mine, a trusted advisor... Sighh... Ahmose would be SHOCKED by the state of our kingdom today... We've GOT to get back on track!
Nefrure: Clear?! You speak with such confidence, Renenūtet! But what makes you so sure of yourself? Tell me, what do YOU know that I do not? Show me the path we must take, and perhaps I will consider listening to your proposals!
I know that the mortal who does what is best for our world shall be granted the wish of ruling all.
Nefrure: Ruling all?! You speak of grand ambitions, Renenūtet! But remember, power comes with responsibility! Still, you have my attention. Show me that you are worthy of the title you bear, and maybe I'll consider your proposal.
