	==Plot Summary==		==Plot Summary==
	===Part 1===		===Part 1===
	1- [[Emsaf]] ~~leaves~~ his ~~family~~ in Hebenou on a ~~mission;~~ he ~~discovers he is~~ being ~~tailed~~ and ~~lies in wait in~~ a ~~hunter's shelter~~. ~~His arrow ends~~ the follower.		1- [[Emsaf]] stops at an abandoned huntsman’s shelter in the Western Desert with the clear intention of killing someone. As he waits, his thoughts return to the painful moment he left his wife [[Merti (wife of Emsaf)\|Merti]] and young son [[Ebe]] behind in [[Hebenou]], after receiving a troubling letter that compelled him to depart urgently. He undertook a long, cautious journey, traveling mostly by night to avoid the desert heat. During the journey, Emsaf realized he was being expertly followed by an unknown pursuer who matched his movements precisely. Attempts to outpace or confuse the tracker failed, forcing Emsaf to abandon his original mission and focus instead on dealing with the threat. He deliberately crossed into the Western Desert and chose the shelter as a place to ambush his stalker. When the pursuer finally appeared—a lone rider emerging from the heat haze—Emsaf used the sun and terrain to his advantage, calmly took aim, and killed the follower with a single arrow.

	2- ~~The follower had killed~~ Emsaf~~'s family in an attempt~~ to ~~get~~ information~~; he killed~~ a traveler and ~~used~~ the ~~body~~ as a ~~decoy~~ for ~~Emsaf's arrow, letting him kill~~ his ~~quarry~~.		2- Two weeks earlier, after careful preparation, [[Bion]] travels to a remote farmstead at Hebenou to kill his target, Emsaf. Finding Emsaf absent, Bion instead encounters Emsaf’s wife and son. When confronted, both mother and child resist fiercely, revealing unexpected combat skill. In the ensuing struggle, Bion kills them both—an outcome that frustrates him because he intended to interrogate them for information. Aware that time is now against him, Bion pursues Emsaf, who has fled toward Ipou and attempts to evade pursuit through skilled tracking and counter-tracking. Anticipating a trap near a huntsman’s shelter, Bion outmaneuvers Emsaf by murdering an innocent traveler and using the corpse as bait. The ruse succeeds: Emsaf reveals himself and is swiftly incapacitated. Bion questions him about the whereabouts of others “of his kind,” but Emsaf’s silence confirms Bion’s suspicion that no information will be gained. He kills Emsaf without mercy. The chapter closes with Bion calmly reflecting on death as part of an endless cycle. He recovers a medallion from Emsaf’s belongings, then prepares to clean his weapons, rest, and report in for his next assignment.

	3- Bayek and [[~~Amunet\|~~Aya]] ~~have a~~ conversation ~~before learning Bayek's~~ father is about to leave ~~their hometown~~ of ~~Siwa~~.		3- The chapter follows [[Bayek]], a young man living in the oasis town of [[Siwa]], as he spends a peaceful afternoon with [[Aya]], reflecting on destiny, duty, and the wider world—especially [[Alexandria]], which Aya longs to see again. Bayek feels rooted in Siwa, believing his fate is tied to protecting the [[Temple of Amun]] and following in his father’s footsteps as the town’s protector. Their conversation weaves together personal longing, love, and history, including the legend of [[Alexander the Great]]’s visit to Siwa and the power of its Oracle. The calm is shattered when news arrives that Bayek’s father, [[Sabu]], is about to leave Siwa after receiving a mysterious message from [[Zawty]]. The sudden urgency unsettles the entire village and deeply affects Bayek, who senses that his life is on the verge of irreversible change. As the townspeople gather and whispers spread, Bayek confronts uncertainty and fear about what this departure means for his future. Though shaken, Bayek is encouraged by Aya, who offers quiet strength and emotional support, urging him to face what is coming rather than avoid it. The chapter ends with Bayek reluctantly moving toward his home, aware that the moment he has long assumed would define his destiny has finally arrived.

	4- Despite ~~others' protestations~~, Bayek~~'s father~~ Sabu ~~departs~~ and ~~leaves questions~~ in his ~~wake~~.		4- Bayek awakens feeling heavy with sadness and gradually recalls the events of the previous day, when his father abruptly left their home and the town of Siwa. Despite the objections of Bayek’s mother, [[Rabiah]], and the assembled townsfolk—who remind him of his oath and question who will protect the town—Sabu insists on leaving at once. He departs calmly but firmly, suggesting his absence may even reduce the town’s need for protection. Bayek vividly remembers watching him ride away, struggling then and now to understand their own emotions. The next morning, Bayek finds his mother sitting quietly in the courtyard, outwardly composed but clearly weary. She reassures Bayek that Sabu will return, though she admits she does not know why he left and sensed worry in his eyes. When Bayek suggests his departure may be connected to [[Menna]], his mother reacts with hardened memory but ultimately avoids giving answers, instead suggesting Bayek speak with Rabiah for more insight.

	5- Fabled graverobber [[Menna]] is known to Bayek as a terror his father defeated.		5- Fabled graverobber [[Menna]] is known to Bayek as a terror his father defeated.
