Chapter 2: The Rise of Neferaset
Neferaset’s mother unveils the truth about her ancestry, which can be traced back to a formidable mage.
On a peaceful evening, with the temple grounds illuminated by the gentle twilight, Neferaset’s mother, Neferet, called her into a private chamber in their home. There was a palpable sense of urgency and gravity in the air, and Neferaset couldn’t help but feel the impending weight of what lay ahead.
Neferet, with a mix of pride and sorrow in her eyes, began to speak. “My daughter, it is time for you to discover the truth about your ancestry. You possess a unique and extraordinary ability that sets you apart from others, a profound bond with the ancient magic that has always resonated within you.”
Neferaset was captivated as her mother unveiled a long-held family secret. “Our lineage originates from a time that predates Egypt, an era when Earth was known as Teara Nova. It was a time of magnificent civilizations and abundant knowledge, where the mystical arts were intricately woven into everyday life.”
Neferet continued, “The core of our heritage traces back to the noble sacrifice of the nine goddesses of wisdom. These divine beings selflessly protected humanity during the cataclysmic fall of Galaxia, a city-state that spanned nine planets.”
“These goddesses, embodying wisdom and power, united to preserve and protect the very essence of humanity,” Neferet explained. “Their sacrifice has allowed their wisdom and magic to be passed down through the generations, enduring through the ages. You, my daughter, have inherited this essence through our bloodline, and it is the source of your exceptional abilities.”
Neferaset was filled with a sense of awe and responsibility as she absorbed her mother’s words. Her lineage explained the visions of past lives, the innate knowledge, and the immense magical power she possessed. It reinforced her sense of duty to use her abilities wisely and honor the legacy of the nine goddesses.
Neferet’s face grew serious. “But great power also comes with great risks. Just as the nine goddesses had enemies who sought to control or destroy their magic, there will be those who will target you for your abilities. You must be cautious and protect yourself from those who would do you harm.”
Neferaset nodded, understanding the gravity of her mother’s warning. She felt a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that her path was deeply connected to the enduring legacy of the nine goddesses. She vowed to uphold the principles they stood for and to use her magic for the betterment of Egypt.
As the night grew deeper, mother and daughter shared an embrace, their bond strengthened by love, magic, and an unwavering family legacy. Neferaset knew her journey was far from over and that challenges lay ahead. But armed with the truth of her heritage and the unwavering support of her family, she felt ready to face whatever destiny had in store for her.
