My feet burned on this hot sand.
My mouth was completely dry.
My arms could no longer bend at the elbows.
The dress that used to be white was now the reddish brown of sand.
I lost my way a long time ago. How long do I walk here? For hours? For days? For weeks?
I don't know.
The last thing I remember is the burning sky and soldiers everywhere. I was running away.
Some of the people from my town went to the desert in search of something better with life. Where to? I don't think they even knew.
The army attacked us. Who were these people? I do not know. They were masked, and their faces were covered with black scarves. In the blink of an eye, they burned the entire small town where we lived. That small, perhaps the smallest city in the world that even the Gods forgot existed.
What did they want from us? I do not know. I just know that in a few hours, we lost everything.
However, I had nothing to lose anyway.
I'm a nobody, literally.
Nothing more valuable than a new papyrus, and nothing more expensive than a new dress. That's what they said about me. I was a maid in the house of an architect who worked even in the city of the Gods itself. He was never at home, and his wife didn't even care about me. Sometimes I believe that she even forgets that I exist. All that mattered to her was that the house was clean and that her husband's papers were in order. And that's all.
I don't know if they survived this attack. I followed the others who were heading through the desert outside the city. We split up; the desert is most dangerous at night. One by one, the darkness of night took them.
I was simply left alone. They are just gone.
And I've been wandering like this ever since. For hours? For days? For weeks?
I was thinking about Gods and I started to pray in my mind.
My God Osiris, lord of our lives. Please intercede for my soul in the Underworld. I have nothing, but my soul is pure.
Mistress Hathor, goddess of love. Give me love and stability, even in the afterlife.
My Lord Toth, God of Wisdom, please help and bring reason and wisdom to the people I am leaving behind.
Mistress Neftis, protect me from evil; protect the people of my city, wherever they are now. Hide them under your wings; give them prosperity.
I closed my eyes and exhaled what I thought was my last breath. My face hit the hot sand.
-My lord Set, lord of desert and storm...-I mumble out loud. -Please have pity on my fate. Take me fast; I can't go on anymore.
A high figure obscured the Sun. Anubis... He came for me. A guide to the afterlife.
For you, Lord Anubis, Governor of Los Arcos, who is on his mountain... I have only my smile.
Strong big hands grabbed me and lifted me as if I were a feather. And then darkness took me. Forever.
….
My body suddenly rose from the soft ground it was lying on. I looked around.
This is the afterlife?
I was confused.
This was some kind of tent. The red sky outside also filled this darkness. Several large golden jugs stood on an equally large table. The bed I was lying on was also big.
Where am I?
- Sometimes someone's prayers are answered. - a cold, deep giggle was heard from somewhere.
At the door of this tent stood a huge, tall figure in military armor.
My jaw dropped. It didn't take me long to realize that he is God.
I wanted to get up from the bed, but instead of getting up, I fell to the floor.
- My Lord Set! - I squealed.
I was ashamed. And my whole body hurt. I had burns on my knees and on my palms.
I couldn't move anymore. My hands were shaking, trying to hold on avoid falling on my nose on the floor.
A deep chuckle rose from his throat.
-Get up, girl.-he said to me.-We can skip the formalities here in the wilderness.
In half a minute, he saw that I could no longer move. His hands grabbed me and sat me back on the bed.
- Are you okay? - he asked.
- I am. – I replied.
His gaze fell on my hands and knees.
- It happens. - he said to me with a slight smile. - The desert sand is merciless.
- How did I end up here? - I asked.
- I found you. - he answered, pouring wine into two cups. - I heard your prayer.
-My prayer?-I asked.
I remembered how I prayed to several Gods.
-It seems that I am the only one who cares.-he said giving me wine in a smaller cup.
I could not believe my eyes!
Lord Set, lord of deserts and storms has answered my prayers! And I am here, drinking wine with him insted of being dead.
- Is this a dream, my Lord? - I asked.
He smirked.
-No, it is no Y/N.-he answered.-This is the beginning.
-The beginning of what, my loord?-I asked.
- Everything. - he said.
And so it was.
In the next couple of days, I found out where I was.
We were in the middle of the desert, on unknown ground.
I practically did not leave the tent outside. Well, he didn't forbig me but he never send me outsude either.
I didn't know how to repay Lord Set. However, what is the price of mortal life?
Set only came to the tent when he was sleeping. And he would just, without a word or a greeting, collapse on the bed and fall asleep in a few minutes. I would be on the sidelines, watching him or quietly cleaning up.
I tried to please him; I would bring him wine or water, put things in order, and clean his armor. Anything. But in silence, imperceptible as always. Sometimes it would seem to me that only his snake riders Astarte and Anat, noticed me. Sometimes they would peek into the tent, looking for him. And they would always hiss at me for no reason. They were very... peculiar?
I tried to stay away from them. Another day has passed. Half of the soldiers were gone, I understood that they had gone to battle.
One evening, I heard large footsteps entering the tent hurriedly and angrily.
Set stormed in angry, it seemed like the battle didn't go very well. He had a large cut on his shoulder, golden blood oozing from it. Behind him ran his faithful servant Vendor. Set angrily kicked the chair, which flew to the other end of the tent. I squeezed all the way back behind the empty bottles.
-Get out of my sight!-Set shouted angrily and Vendor ran outside.
Set was panting angrily and the cut was clearly in pain. I tried to breathe as quietly as possible so as not to disturb him.
His eyes fell upon me.
-You!-he said.
I froze.
-Come here, don't be affraid.-he added.
I stood up slowly and cautiously approaching him.
He looked like a wounded beast against me.
He panted angrily and his muscular body looked like it was going to explode from the rush of negative emotions.
-How can I serve you, my Lord?-I asked..
He looked at me for a few seconds as if he didn't know what to say.
- Can I take care of your wound? - I broke the short awkward silence in which he just looked at me and gasped from pain or anger.
He didn't say anything, he just let me know with his eyes that I could laugh. I took the tool and gently cleaned his wound. He flinched a few times, but didn't say anything.
-Thank you. - he said at the end.
- Don't thank me, my lord. - I retorted.
- You are good at taking care of the sick. - he said to me, looking at the bandage on his shoulder.
- Thank you, my lord.
There was silence for a few minutes.
- What did you do that day in the desert? - he asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. - A battle has started in my city. The people I ran away with have disappeared. The darkness took them away during the night. - I retorted. - I was left alone.
He just shook his head slightly.
- You are strong. - he told me. - Few mortals would survive as long in the desert as you.
-If you hadn't found me, I wouldn't have been in the world of the living a long time ago. - I retorted.
He looked at me briefly. And then, to my surprise, he grabbed my dress and pulled me to him.
His hot desert breath burned my skin.
-Sleep here tonight, Y/N.-he said in a deep seductive tone. There were 500 questions in my head.
-I...I always sleep here, my lord.-I replied gently looking at the bed in the very corner of the tent.
From the look on his face, it seemed that he had no idea that I was here the whole time.
-Never mind.- he answered himself to the question in his head and then looked at me with a gentliest look in his eyes. -Sleep here. On the bed. With me.
-With you? In Bed?-I tried to get out of his grip around my dress.-But, you are God. My Lord And I...I'm nobody...
- I command you. - he snapped sharply.
I looked at him for a few seconds and listened. He released his grip on my dress. The dress was completely deformed under the force of the squeeze. He looked at it and mumbled briefly "I'll get you a new one".
He took off his own armor and threw it aside. He poured a whole bucket of water on himself and stopped rubbing his arms and chest to wash the desert sand off him. Then he aggressively wiped himself with a towel, which he also just threw aside. And like every night, he lay on the bed naked up to his hips.
I move all the way to the left side of the edge of the bed.
He looked at me.
-You have never been lying next to God before? - he laughed smugly.
I mumbled "no". He smirked, he extended one hand towards me and pulled me all the way to him.
He was very big, compared to him I looked like a doll. His skin smelled like the earth, like the desert. Just as dangerous, just as safe.
He pulled me all the way to his chest.
And then looked at me.
-From now on, you will sleep like this with me every night.-he told me. His chest was very hard. As he breathed, every muscle tensed. He put his heavy hand gently over my shoulder, his fingers touching my inner back.
I didn't dare look up to see if his eyes were closed. I lay stiffly in an uncomfortable position, my hand started to tingle.
- You don't look like you're comfortable.-he said to me.
- Everything is fine, my Lord. - I replied.
He was silent for a few minutes.
- I don't believe you. - he said. - But maybe I can do something about it.
And before I could guess, he pulled me all the way onto him so that I was lying as if I were lying on a bed.
As if he didn't even feel my weight, he crossed his arms on my back as if he was hugging me. My eyes became twice as big.
- Look at me. - he command. - Why do you keep looking down?
I hesitated for a few seconds, and then I looked him in the face. His blue eyes watched me curiously.
- You are beautiful. - he said to me, tucking my hair behind the ear.
I looked down slightly again.
-Hey.-he said to me.-Doesn't my order mean anything to you? Eyes up, at me!
He lifted my chin with his finger and directed his gaze towards me.
He looked at me like that for a few seconds, and then he grabbed me and kissed me passionately.
His lips were as hot as desert sand.
He sat on the bed, my legs fell on each side of his waist.
He continued to kiss me so passionately, so eagerly.
His hand on my back pressed me even closer to him.
He paused for a second, looked at me.
I have never wanted someone so much in my life.
Apparently, some kind of flame was ignited in me that made me burn for him.
I didn't know it was possible to want someone like that.
His lips moved from mine to my neck. I felt the massive bulge pressing eagerly on my crotch.
I sighed in passion.
- Do you like what you feel? - he asked.
-Yes my Lord!
-Will you obay me like a good girl?
-Yes my Lord!
-Well then...-he said and flip me under him.
With one hand he tore my dress as if it was made of paper.
He ran his hands over my bare legs.
-Open your legs for me, love.
-Yes my Lord.-I obey without complaint.
He looked at the scene in front of him for a few moments.
- Do you like what you see, my Lord? - I asked a bit teasingly.
He growled loudly, mouth watering.
He kissed me passionately once more, and then took off the lower part of his clothes. He aggressively spat into his palm and began to stroke his member.
He was huge. I had no idea how he meant to push it inside me.
-I'll have to stretch you a bit, love.-he giggled.-I've never been with a mortal woman before. I hope you are not as delicate as you seem at first glance.
- I will survive. - I retorted.
He buried his head in my crotch. The hot tongue started licking my clitoris and parting my lips.
He grabbed my legs with both hands and pulled me to him so that I couldn't move much. He was circling his tongue and touching the points that were driving me crazy.
He started sucking my clitoris. I felt him push one finger into me and then two. And gently moves them inside out, inside out.
-Fuck...!-Imumble breathing heavily.
I grabbed his hair in dellirium with my hand.
He looked me directly in the eye and like a beast that you interrupted in its eating, he started at me and towered over me. He kissed me, I felt the taste of myself in his mouth.
He took his member with one hand, stroke it few times. And then he gently rubbed it against my pussy.
He pushed it halfway, I felt a slight pain as my muscles stretched.
-You are so tight!-he growled and licked his lips.
I touched him with my fingertips a little below the waist as if I wanted to prevent him from harming me.
Yet he was God. And knowing Set, he never miss the oportunity to satisfy his needs.
-Don't be afraid.-he breathed and started moving slowly inside and out. His hips were moving rhythmically. He grabbed my breast with one hand. Every moment he went deeper and deeper, his member hit the cervix until it became painful.
-Yess...-he breathed.-You like it?
He saw no difference between pleasure and pain.
Then he took his member out of me and lay down on his back.
-Ride me, my desert flower!
I obey.
I rode him and rocked slowly while his palms held me on my hips.
His fingers pressed and squeezed my ass.
Soon I will have another orgasm, I felt how violently it was building inside me.
His member became so painfully hard, the veins in the bowl looked like they were going to burst.
He pushed me deeper and deeper to the point where I didn't even know he could go that deep.
I felt my muscles tightening around his member and how it was moistened by my fluids.
I moaned probably louder than I thought.
-I am gonna cum!-he gasped.
He grabbed my hips and held me in place as he filled me with hot cum that immediately began to flow out of me onto my thighs and his hips. He moaned, panted, growled. His viice was broken.
When he had squeezed the last drop out of himself, he collapsed back onto the bed with outstretched arms.
-Come...-he said and I lay down next to him.
He kissed my hair gently.
We were silent for few minuts.
- Are you okay? - he asked.
-I'm great!
-Good, good...
I tried to reach for the towel to wipe myself.
- And you don't have to worry about that. - he said pointing at the mess he made inside me - My father made sure that I would never be able to have children.
I look at him for a few seconds.
-I am sorry.-I said.
He shook his head.
- Don't be.
I didn't know if he was still married, but I remember from the stories that his wife was Nephtis.
And once upon a time, I wondered how it was that Set had no children, and he was such a great warrior.
And Osiris, who practically did nothing but keep the peace, has an heir to the throne. Some things just aren't fair.
-Tomorrow is a big day, my desert flower.-he said.
- What big day? - I asked confused.
-Tomorrow my nephew will become king.-he replied.
O?
I forgot that tomorrow is the coronation day when Lord Osiris hands entire Egypt over to his son Horus.
- There will surely be a lot of people. - I said.
- I'm sure of that. - he retorted.
I assumed that Set was also going to the coronation. And I knew that he would certainly not take me there.
At the first rays of the morning, Set got up. Gathered an army.
Soldiers step side by side.
I saw Set when he got into his carriage. He looked at me and winked. And then he made his beetles pull the chariot as fast as possible to the head of the army.
The air was different. It seemed to me that something bad was going to happen.
I hoped I was wrong.
And that Lord Set will return to me.
Soon.
