Things were better... a stronger Egypt came forward. Time, sacrifice, the ability to rule. You chose your successor well, Atem. Do not doubt your own choice or part in all of it. Had you not faced Zorc in the manner that you did? There would be no Egypt. I know little of the world in which you were bound to, but, it in no doubt was shaped by its ancient history. As was the Egypt we knew.
[ The once Medjay raises his hand to wave off the worries that might cloud the young Pharaoh's mind. ]
Our Creed was made and decided up on years after the events of your battle. Loss and hard lessons were learned. I do not blame you for your curiosity or your questions. After all, there is no need for a Hidden One in the A'aru. A Medjay, however, may still be needed. Unless the Pharaoh would do away with protectors in a place of land and peace.
[ There is a playful smile on his face at that. Khemu had always wanted to be a Medjay. Perhaps meeting the Pharaoh he would have served - had all gone very differently - would be enough. Convincing the young king would be another matter.
Then, the playful smile melds into something more gentle. One that a father might have as he knows what he might request could be difficult for Atem to answer. In fact, he might not wish to answer or speak of it at all. Bayek would not blame him for such a thing. He, however, had promised to deliver a gift and he would see the duty done. ]
As you remain Pharaoh, I remain Medjay. I travel the A'aru as I need. Rarely do the soldiers that protect it show their faces, but, there are times... especially when there are those that would seek to rise us from our place here. [ The stories of Isidora and her attempt to raise those from the Field of Reeds are perhaps left for another time. Still, he wonders if that is part of why he travels through the A'aru. A restlessness in his own soul knowing that there are those who would disturb the souls here. There should be no need for a Medjay, and yet, he feels that there must be now that the duties of the Hidden Ones have passed to generation after generation. ] Those soldiers gathered near the borders of Thebes not so long ago. The day your Ka had walked the edges of the Duat. I had watched from the shadows; ready to intervene if they had attacked you. They instead kept their distance as a woman escorted you to the Palace boundaries. Who was she?
[ He doubts she is a threat as she returned the Pharaoh to them... and gave Bayek a gift to give. With the fore-mention of the aid Pharaoh Seto requested to Greece? He would rather know how the pieces fall together. ]
