Lord Shadow

Chapter 1925: Those Long Ancient Past

But the pyramids built by these beings, none of them are normal and each one of them is more miraculous than the other.

Azief sneak into one of the pyramids

[Pyramid of Ra]

Odin words echoes in his ears when he enter this pyramids.

And as he goes down deeper and deeper, phasing through most of the traps and secret passages, he reach the bottom of the pyramids

And in the middle of the bottom of the pyramid there is a fountain.

“What is this fountain?” Even though Azief is not there is person he could feel the aura from that fountain

Full of life and vitality

Before Odin answer the question, Azief already somehow understood what this fountain was. The Fountain of Youth

Odin words come after, telling him that it is a fountain of youth.

But there is also a curse in this waters.

But this is not the only place that have such fountain of youth.

There is one in the Americas, buried underneath many layers of soil.

Some are in a cave that no one ever discover.

And there is many pyramids like the pyramids of Ra. Some of them were built to honour Osiris and some were built to honour Hathor.

But the difference between these pyramids and the other pyramids, was that the other was made with mortal power but the pyramids that have magical items, artefacts or magical fountain was made by these beings.

Each one of them have some kind of gift or curse. And Azief also notices something else about these pyramids

“A magical formation” the pyramids built by the aliens all have reason to be positioned the way it was

“Harnessing the power of the celestial bodies of the heaven, nourished from the energy of the stars, sun and moon and the planets”

Some are more like a communication tower.

Others act like a teleportation device, much like the Bifrost for the Asgardians, a point of transfer from one point to another

And the pyramid that he sees is very different from the pyramids of today.

White and shining and radiated magical power. Even the ones being built by the mortals. As for the ones built by the aliens, it has more than just white colours

There is one that is built with some kind of red minerals making the pyramids look reds and have some kind of aura that made any mortals that come close to it to be infected by some kind of bloodlust

There is also a purple pyramids that seems to bring about then clouds that brings rains and fertility all over the land of ancient Egypt.

Long before the pharaoh even existed, there was pyramids, and sphinxes and many more monument, titanic in sizes

The pyramids was not the only thing that is worth noting in this time period

“How beautiful” Azief thought to himself

A green Egypt.

And at the heart of the green Egypt is the Nile River, winding through the land.

There is carpet of files and blossoming orchard all over the land of the Nile.

Tall papyrus reeds swayed gently along the riverbanks, and flowers bloomed on the water.

And everywhere he looked, people worked on the black fertile soil. Barley and wheat fields, stretched to the horizon

Vineyards climbed the hills near the delta, while some large and tall trees shade the resting farmers and slaves

Palm trees dotted the land, heavy with dates. And the land itself is full of the songs of ibises, herons and cranes

Wild antelopes roamed the edges of cultivated lands, while hippos splashed the shallow waters and once in a while one could see crocodiles basked in the sun

Fishermen cast their nets in the Nile, gliding on slender boat.

There were also many temples.

Some of these temples…make sense.

It is clearly created by humans, mortals

But some of these temples are gigantic in size.

So gigantic that it touches the clouds.

It is more like a…tower then temples.

This kind of tall temple that reaches the skies, are few and far away from each other.

It reminded Azief of communication tower.

“Fertile Egypt. Fertile land”

the Sahara is green.

Around the temples, around the cities and around every part of this land, there is groves, trees, flowers, full of colours

Flowering acacias, tamarisk, frankincense and many other tree surrounded the temple and the breeze is cool and refreshing

In this era, maybe the people of Egypt believed themselves to be at the center of blessed world. Even amidst gods walking among them

A land of abundance, pulsing with life and vitality, civilization and nature seems to thrived together in harmony.

With this kind of fertility, food is in abundance.

The world itself seems blessed.

But people are people

Under this blessed sky and fertile land, tragedies of oppression, sad stories that move the heaven is also in abundance

There is millions of people all over this civilization.

But maybe the reason it was not recorded, was either it was forgotten or it was erased. And Azief also notice something else

Gods roamed this land of the Nile with humans and is very close to them. They did not come to them in a form that these mortals did not understand but come to them in a form that they could understand, fear, and awe

Gods with animal head are not the active imagination of the people, but they were real and they roamed all over the Niles and the surrounding area like a giant sentinel and sometimes, they would disguise themselves as old man or old woman to give test to people and those who passed their test is given rewards

And those who failed would be given a lesson.

Azief saw how the ancient Egypt rose from the ground to a world civilization.

There is light, there is dark, there is good and there is evil and humans in that era, progress slowly but surely to once again reach the skies

Before the pharaoh existed, this land of the Nile has a more older civilization. A more advanced one.

But then the war begins. This is long before the All Source even fell to Earth.

The war between these alien beings that descended down to Earth, is not solely because of the All Source.

Odin told them that this place is predicted to be able to birth a being that transcend Sovereign realm

Among other things.

One thing is clear.

All of these powerful beings that descended down to Earth learns something about Earth, and that something is surely something extraordinary to be able to gather so many powerful beings to land in a world full of mortals

Even if they were restricted in their means the moment they landed on Earth, they did not care and keep descending down and some even leave some kind of legacy for the people of Earth

Luck and fortune of this world was something that they wanted to fight for. Some are here earlier than others

There were gods worshiped in the Indus civilization.

They come from a different star.

When some of the other gods attacked them, their defeat also means the destruction of their city and their civilization.

But unlike what he thought the Indus civilization while most of them died, some of them survive and become nomads while some migrate to other places and assimilate with the people of the mountains. Some of them went to what is today the land of Afghans, some goes to a place that is now today India and Pakistan and spread their roots.

Five thousand years ago, six thousand years ago, seven thousand years ago, ten thousand years ago, the traces of these alien beings descended upon Earth

Some of them leave legends and myths and worshipped as Gods. He saw how Odin send some of his Einherjar to the lands of the Vikings.

Thousands of years before the War of the Gods.

But one story in particular attracted him.

Odin even reminded him to focus.

He did not say a word even when Azief was casually looking at the other scene of history.

Azief did not know how long he has been in this scenery of the past. It felt like a thousand years had passed.

This is the story of a figure long shrouded in mystery and myths.

The earliest was a figure that is mostly known as Gilgamesh. And he was an odd one.

Instead of saying that he is a being descended from the heavens, he was conceived here, on Earth but his blood is of the blood of aliens

His name itself is not Gilgamesh.

But that is what the world calls him

Odin told him that Gilgamesh cross the line and because of that he was punished.

Gilgamesh created a city with the help of aliens.

A city unlike any other, Uruk

Odin let Azief linger in these times of Uruk as he called it

And Azief managed to see a different kind of world. A world that is covered in mist of history.

Azief sees the Netherworld of Uruk. Gilgamesh, a giant-like man wrestle with dark creatures and beast that is swarming around a tree

Odin told him, that tree is born from one of the main branches of Yggdrasil.

Gilgamesh broke one of the main branches of Yggdrasil and brought it to Earth
