Thread: Egypt, and then the World (Yen and Moon Struck Fox)

the deeper into the Tunnel he went, the lighter it got, as if somewhere down below there was a source of natural light... and there was. he stepped out into a massive room, that was filled to the brim with glowing silk worms. hundreds of years of Silk worm offspring where crawling along the walls, completely ignoring the strange Human intruder, as where the two large statues that stood in the middle of the room. much like the other ancient statues, these where of Cat like humanoids. both carved out of a strange black stone, they where all one piece, and that in itself was amazing. the detail in the carvings where amazing, there was even fur patterns carved into the stone, and somehow the artist had managed to make the whiskers stick out from the rest of the face, not to mention the clothing that hung off of them in rippling waves, the only part that wasn't carved into black stone was the free hanging jewelry and head pieces. you almost expected the statues to leap into life at any moment. clearly this was a shrine, and the massive piles of gold, jewels... and skeletons of once living servants buried into the tomb, that theory was a correct one. whatever these Statues where, or whoever they where of, clearly they had been revered as Gods, and powerful ones as well considering the piles of items that people had sacrificed to them before they where entombed. as Ryan walked around the golden jewels on the ancient Cat Gods gleamed and shone, which was so very strange. everything else was completely covered in thick dust, webs, old cocoons, silk worm poop and spiderwebs. thick clouds of dust rose with every movement, but there wasn't a spec of anything on the statues. they where protected, somehow from the dust and the silk worms, as soon as he touched one though, they both started to twitch as if coming to life. with every slow movement, the black 'stone' flaked off like a shattering of an old boiled egg. they groaned and growled as they slowly broke free of their shells, revealing gorgeous, real life Anthropomorphic Ancient Egyptian Gods. they both growled as they slinked off of the pedestal they had been standing on, turning two very different colors onto Ryan. the one had brown fur, and ruby red eyes, the other had pitch black fur and emerald eyes, and they both blinked at him as they took the time to reconnect to their bodies after thousands of years of being frozen, motionless and trapped. they both stood still now, almost unnaturally so as they studied him. Who dares to enter Our Tomb!? Who dares to wake us!? they where both, very clearly females, from the size of their breasts and the sound of their voices, there was no mistaking them for anything else. they stalked around Ryan, their eyes flashing. What year is it now? you will tell Us. and perhaps, if you cooperate, We will allow you to live. We are Bas and Tet . Human's know Us as Bastet. the Goddess of Life and Death, of Fertility and the Moon. they spoke, flipping from one to the other so quickly you couldn't be sure which was speaking and which wasn't. You will tell Us your Name, Human Slave, and then we will use you for Our desires. they spoke formally, commandingly, and they demanded obedience... they also spoke as if they where a single entity split into two bodies, and with ancient would be gods... maybe that was so. still the writing on the Tombs did often speak of Bastet, but never as Bas and Tet. Bastet was the goddess of fertility, children and various other things but she wasn't supposed to be the goddess of death. where the two lying, or where the translations wrong? or maybe they had been offspring of Bastet? there was no way to know but to ask them, and they didn't look like they where going to be willing to answer any questions... in fact they looked ready to disembowel him if he didn't answer theirs.
