[chapter_1_1]
My Lord, waters of the sacred river Nile don’t bring fertility to our soil, they have been poisoned by the mean nomads. You have to cure our water from the curse  - find the Symbol of Life, viviparous Ankh . I’ve heard that Ankh’s Symbol is hidden in the sands, somewhere in the West. A Libyan princess is staying in our city, maybe, she knows something about the Symbol of Life. 
[chapter_1_2]
Hello, [name]. The first among the peers,  the hope  of Egypt. Do you want to know where the Symbol of Life is hidden? I know where it is. Somewhere in the heart of  Western Desert there is a secret oasis, the realm of the Goddess with the head of a lioness, a ruthless Sekhmet. Only a worthy heir of ancient Pharaohs can have Ankh in his hands. You have to undergo 9 severe trials of the Goddess Sekhmet.  Go ahead, I’ll show you the way.
[chapter_1_3]
The god of  Revival, Osiris, granted the Symbol of Life to people, but Egypt decayed and Ankh was lost. Return it to your people, and your name will never pass into oblivion. I am Anubis, the god of Eternity, and I give my word to you.
[chapter_2_1]
My Lord, the Heaven is triumphing, you have returned the Symbol of Life to people. We all ask you, now, to set out for the east, where Rah starts his daily race.  There, on the shores of the Dead sea, a magic amulet  Uadget, Eye of Horus, is hidden. The power of the Sun is embraced in this jewel. The greatest ancient kings possessed 2 amulets, Ankh and Uadget. You have the one, and now it is time you took possession of the second.
[chapter_2_2]
We have met again, my Lord [name]. I’ll take you by the Dead sea to the Horus’s Temple. Don’t waste your time, go up on board my ship. 
[chapter_2_3]
You have brought the Eye of Horus. Now the power of the Sun has to spark in it. Only the worthy one is able to revive Uadget! Let’s call upon for the god Horus to know what to do next. 
[chapter_2_4]
Listen to my words, [name]. Uadget  will blaze up with a blissful sunlight in case you are able to undergo 9 magic trials. Don’t be afraid and become as strong as the pyramid walls! I grant you my favour, [name], the heir of ancient kings!
[chapter_3_1]
My Lord, I am Asdes, an adventurer and treasure seeker. I am keen on adventures and treasures. Your city is so gorgeous, and a king’s crown will suit you much. I know where to find White Crown of Lower Egypt. The place where the crown is hidden, is marked with 8 letters. If you are able to solve 8 puzzles, the letters will be opened, and I’ll take you to the right place. 
[chapter_3_2]
We have opened the first word – “ king”. Now it is clear that the crown is hidden in one of the tombs of the Valley of Kings.  The king’s name is left to find out. 
[chapter_3_3]
My Lord, the king’s name is Pepi, he subjugated Nubia. We can make our way to the Valley of Kings, let me know when you are ready.
[chapter_3_4]
I know that you are going to set up for the Valley of Kings. It is the realm of oblivion and any mortal is not allowed to break the eternal rest of ancient Lords. But I can see how hard you try, and therefore I am ready to help. I’ll take you through the Death Valley to the king Pepi’s tomb where you will get the crown of Lower Egypt.
[chapter_4_1]
My Lord, nomads-hyksoses are standing at the gates of our beautiful city. A hyksos witch wants to call you for a competition of magicians. 
[chapter_4_2]
A venerable king Hamudi, the lord of three deserts, has sent me to you,  a city-governor. We know that you have a magic amulet of a Falcon, Eye of Horus. King Hamudi wants to have it in his possession. I challenge you to a duel, if you are able to win me out in a magic contest, we’ll grant you Golden statue of Isis , a mother of all Egyptians, but if you lose, you will give us Uadget, Eye of Horus.
[chapter_4_3]
Heaven mother Isida will triumph when her statue beautifies her children’s city. Hurry up and fight a desert witch, I bless you!
[chapter_4_4]
The witch is rather sly, forces of evil stand by her. Take a gift from the gods. Rah, Osiris and Isida want to give you a helping hand, the worthy one [name]
[chapter_4_5]
Don’t triumph beforehand. It’s only out first meeting, others are ahead. I’ll come back and Set, a god of the Dead desert, will help me. The days of your city  as well as the days of your reign are numbered. 
[chapter_5_1]
Oh, my Lord, wisdom of the past is inscribed in ancient books. The most valuable of them is the God of Wisdom Tot’s book, that is kept under his statue from dark gold. We should find this book for Egypt to prosper again. Gods love you, ask them to help you find this ancient manuscript.
[chapter_5_2]
Neither people, nor gods know where Tot’s book is hidden. Only Sphinx, Hafra’s soul, knows the exact place. But he turned to stone and passed to eternal rest when the nomads captured Egypt. Don’t be in despair, we will create Sphinx’s copy and put his soul into this new statue. For this we need to collect 10 magic crystals kept by 10 magicians. Start your searching.
[chapter_5_3]
Glorious god Anubis will help you. I will stand by you as well, here is my gift!
[chapter_5_4]
I’ve heard of you much, [name]. Your city is getting bigger and more beautiful. I also know that you are looking for magic crystals. You should know that five of them decorate my necklace. But i am ready to take 5 magic combats with you. If you win all 5, I’ll grant you the crystals; if you lose at least once, you will give me a sacred Isida’s statue. My life lost any sense when mean nomads took it from me, I’m its creator. 
[chapter_5_5]
Gods want [name] to take another combat, they don’t admit defeat.
[chapter_5_6]
You’ve won, take the crystals but let me stay in your city in the vicinity of divine Isida. My knowledge may be of help to you one day.
[chapter_5_7]
Sphinx has been created. Praise to you and your persistence. Let Mouses, your sassistant, every night and day, ask Sphinx about the book of wisdom. When Hafra’s soul answers, start up for searching. 
[chapter_6_1]
My Lord, Sphinx has waken up, and I can ask him about the book of wisdom. Long before the nomads captured Egypt, high priest Hepery divided the book into 10 parts to conserve Egyptian wisdom from the invaders. Each part is put into a casket locked with a magic spell. To bring together Tot’s book, you have to unlock all the caskets. Lahud-am-Abu, a desert guide, will help you in your searching. Lucky you, the caskets are dispersed in the desert close to our city. 
[chapter_6_2]
My Lord, I am at your disposal. My experience and skills will be of help to you and bring fame to me.
[chapter_6_3]
High priest Heperu was a wise magician, his magic locks are extremely hard to open. Let me help you, it’s also the Heaven desire to have the parts of the book of wisdom brought together again.
[chapter_6_4]
Glory to you for eons, courageous [name]! The book of wisdom has been returned to people who once lost it. I’ll put it under Tot’s statue in your throne room, our scribes will make a copy of it and every one can find it in the library. 
[chapter_7_1]
My Lord, gods are extremely happy looking at you. Your beauty is similar to Isida’s, your wisdom is Tot’s song. Anubis and Horus are triumphing; great Rah is blessing you, my Lord. Only you deserve to wear Red Crown of the Upper Egypt. Unfortunately, the crown of the last king is buried in the dark waters of Nile, but your faithful slave Matu is willing to create a new crown.  
[chapter_7_2]
My Lord, let your name never pass into oblivion and your glory be remembered for eons. I can create Red crown of Upper Egypt. But I need your help as your are the wisest and the most skillful magician of all. 
[chapter_7_3]
My Lord, we’ve created a part of the crown. I can’t continue any more as i lack some special skills required for such a delicate part of work. I’ve heard that somewhere in the East, in the Moab country, there lives a skillful sorceress Amulaya, she is capable for any delicate piece of work. Let a sailor Atu take her to your city. Meanwhile you will get more gold for the red crown.
[chapter_7_4]
I’ve heard your calling, [name]. I’ll help you. You will let me live in your gorgeous city in return. Let’s stop talking and start work.
[chapter_7_5]
Glory to you, the lord of both Egypts. When mean nomads die, you will ascend the throne of ancient kings  and our country will win fame again. Now let’s leave both crowns in the throne room, their time will come soon.
[chapter_8_1]
My Lord, nomads are at the gates of our city. Lord Sakir-Har is challenging you to a duel. Damn the day when dirty hiksoses stepped into a blessed land of Egypt.
[chapter_8_2]
Egypt was subjugated by the powerful hyksoses. The king of all Hyksoses Hamudi is the bravest and the strongest king ever. Get down on your knee in front of king Hamudi or get ready for a combat. I can hit you either by my sword or by magic. I am Sakir-Har, I am wearing the crown of your king Ramses, and I’ll never be struck down by any mortal.
[chapter_8_3]
Don’t get frightened, [name]. Gods have awoken from sleep and they grant their divine grace to you but not to a dirty son of the desert crooks. I foresee that you will defeat your enemy in a magic combat. And the king Ramses’s the Conqueror  crown stolen from his vault will be returned to the Egyptian people. 
[chapter_8_4]
Gods are watching you from Heaven, [name]. Seven dark magicians have cast a spell on the mean Sakir-Har and he won’t be defeated by any mortal. I’m granting you the power of the immortals and you will win a victory. 
[chapter_8_5]
Damn you and your city! We’ll meet again under this sun
[chapter_8_6]
My Lord, there is no one among people whose wisdom and power can be compared to yours. The mean nomad ran away so quickly that he lost a glorious crown of sun-like Ramses. The Heaven granted you a victory since Rah can see that you are the only one who deserves to wear it during the last combat with the enemies. 
[chapter_9_1]
Оh, the glorious [name], mean Hyksoses will come back with their ruthless king Hamudi. We have to be ready for a defense since their rage is enormous and you alone won’t be able to oppose their horde.
[chapter_9_2]
My Lord, the enemy is again at our gates. Their number has increased, a witch Yanassi has returned as well as a bold magician from the North. They are led by a king of the hyksos nomadic tribe. Your people are looking at you with a hope and believe that even such dangerous enemies will be defeated by your boundless wisdom.
[chapter_9_3]
I am the first among the peers, a brother of Hyksos king. My name is Apophis, the Terror of a Desert. No one can ever compete against me in strength and wisdom, my wealth  and power have no boundaries, even my slave rides a Rah’s golden chariot. Bend your knee in front of my power or take a combat with my slaves.
[chapter_9_4]
We have again met at the combat. This time I’ll be wilier and craftier. You will be defeated together with your city.
[chapter_9_5]
A weak woman is a bad contestant for you. Now you will experience the magic power of the peoples from the Sea. I am Apepi who has got his knee only in front of the Hyksos king. You are no match to me.
[chapter_9_6]
If you want a positive result, do it yourself. You’ve proved that my slaves are not opponents to you. You will be granted honour to take a combat and be defeated by the king of a powerful Hyksos kin.
[chapter_9_7]
The enemies are dispersed like a sand in the Lybian Desert. Rah is triumphing again. Now king Hamudi is of no threat to you. The one who has managed to ride the Rah golden chariot and who has won the crown of undefeated Ramses is unconquerable. Desert jackal Hamudi will himself come up to you for a combat to be conquered by you. Great crown of the Egyptian kings will be returned to the Egyptians, hyksoses will disappear in the desert, and you will ascend the throne of your forefathers.
[chapter_10_1]
Not many words are needed to punish a rebellious slave. Once Egypt was subjugated by my grand-father, the same way you and your city will be defeated by me. Your magic is weak against the hyksos wisdom. Come along for a combat.
[chapter_10_2]
It’s just the beginning. The place of Egypt is on the knee in front of powerful Hyksos kings. I’m drinking the tears of the Egyptians from Great Crown of the Egyptian kings. Ha-ha-ha
[chapter_10_3]
The power of the grave darkness in the hands of a mean nomad carries the coldness. Don’t think that gods have left you, glorious, [name]. Here is the help from the golden Heaven. 
[chapter_10_4]
There are no words to describe the triumph of the Egyptian people. Egypt is free again. Hymns to honour you are heard from Nubia to the Mediterranean sea, from Sinai to the Lybian desert. Your name will never pass into oblivion under this sun!
