| Bayek approached the [[Amun]] stone circle in [[Siwa]].
| | While on a viewpoint above [[Camp Shetjeh]] in [[Siwa]], Bayek spotted a stone circle in the desert. |
| | *'''Bayek:''' ''Ah. The stone circle. I brought Khemu here not so long ago.'' |
| | Bayek travelled to the [[Amun]] stone circle. |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''My son, you wanted the stars...'' | | *'''Bayek:''' ''My son, you wanted the stars...'' |
| He had a flashback of a night in the desert with his son. | | He had a flashback of a night in the desert with his son. |

| *'''Bayek:''' ''And you will have them.'' | | *'''Bayek:''' ''And you will have them.'' |
| While stargazing, Bayek remembered a discussion he had with his son.
| | Bayek visited the other stone circles located through Egypt, namely [[Apis (Stone Circle)|Apis]], [[Divine Lion]],the [[Goat Fish]], [[Great Twins]], [[Hathor (Stone Circle)|Hathor]], [[Horus (Stone Circle)|Horus]], [[Osiris (Stone Circle)|Osiris]], [[Pisces (Stone Circle|Pisces]], [[The Scales]] and [[Serqet (Stone Circle)|Serqet]]. |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Papo, why are there so many poor in [[Egypt]] ? Yet those who don't belong here are rich.''
| | He then visited the final stone circle, [[Taweret (Stone Circle)|Tawaret]], and aligned the constellation. |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Egypt has forgotten who she is. Many choose wealth over honor. In the end, they got neither, and lost justice as well.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''But we are [[Medjay]]. We will bring justice and honor back to Egypt.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Yes, my son. We have not forgotten who we are. We will endure no matter our origin. Amun, the king of gods, divided in two forms as the great goddess of invisibility [[Amunet (deity)|Amunet]], and master of the wind. He upholds justice. Lord of the shadow and the silence, he comes at the voice of the poor. He hears the confession the humble, and forgives them.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. Back in the present, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. He later discovered and visited the [[Apis]] stone circle in the [[Isolated Desert]].
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Papo, what is best in life?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''To seek justice and truth. To live with honor, to protect the weak and the poor. And to love your [[Aya|mother]].''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''My friend Kenon said it was to crush our enemies, and to hear the lamentation of their women.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''We are Medjay, son, not barbarians. Apis, the bull god. He is the strength of the Pharaoh. Each year, he is born as a calf with special markings. The Pharaoh finds this calf and worships it.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. He later discovered and visited the [[Sekhmet]] stone circle in the [[Iment Nome]] and reminisced a discussion he had once had with his son.
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Medjay have a duty to the gods. We must be strong, and ready to fight. But we must only fight when it is just.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''I'll practice hard, Papo. I want to be strong and hunt like you do.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''You are already better with your weapons than many men. You'll make a fine Medjay, son.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Like mom says, "May your victories multiply!"''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''The Divine Lion, the powerful one. Her breath formed the desert. The fiercest of hunters, she leads the army of the Pharaoh into battle.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. He later discovered and entered the Goat Fish stone circle in the Isolated Desert.
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Have you talked to this girl you like?''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''I didn't say I liked her. We were friends. But she's being strange and avoiding me.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Maybe because she likes you too. We often do not say what we mean, it will come to you in bursts.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Why would she avoid me if she likes me?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''This is something your mother should explain. I am better with the stars. The Goat-Fish, called {{Wiki|Capricornus}} by the [[Greece|Greeks]]. The god has the head of a ram and the body of a fish. You see, even the gods do not always make sense.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. He later discovered entered the Great Twins stone circle in the [[White Desert Oasis]].
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Papo, you know how you're Egyptian and Mother is Greek. What if Egypt and Greece go to war?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Greeks and Egyptian don’t hate each other. We're all the same.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''It feels like they do. A priest in the temple schools said Greeks were destroying Egypt.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''He was wrong to say that. There is good and bad in everyone. You’re the child of both Egypt and Greece. You’re proof they don’t hate each other. Ah, the [[Isis|Great]] {{Wiki|Nephthys|Twins}}. To the Greeks, they are twin brothers. To Egyptians, they are he-goats that rise from the underworld, bringing pestilence and protection. Even the gods have two sides.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. He later discovered and entered the [[Hathor]] stone circle in the [[Ka-Khem Nome]].
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Papo, when you met mother, how did you know she liked you?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''My heart lit on fire, of course! She smiled at me, and her eyes rendered me helpless.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''So if a girl likes you, she smiles at you?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Son, there are some things I can explain to you. The stars, how to fight. But this... is something not even the gods can tell. You will have to ask a goddess.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Hathor, goddess of motherhood and joy. She is loved by all in Egypt, from the least to the greatest. Mistress of the West, she welcomes the dead to the afterlife.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. He later discovered and entered the [[Horus]] stone circle in the [[Uab Nome]].
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''That is Horus, the Falcon. The Great Black One. God of the sky. The sun is his right eye and the moon his left eye. Forever he flies across the heavens, making night and day.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''The eye of Horus is what the Medjay wear?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Yes, Khemu.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''And the Pharaoh is Horus, right?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Yes my son. The Pharaoh is Horus in life, and Osiris in death. That is why the Pharaoh rules not only on '''Egypt''', but the whole world. Only a true Pharaoh, though.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. He later discovered and entered the [[Osiris]] stone circle in the [[Qattara Depression]].
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Osiris was cut into fourteen pieces by his jealous brother, who scattered the pieces throughout the land. Osiris' wife, Iset searched and found all the pieces except one.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''What happened to the other piece?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''It was eaten by a fish. It was his, ah... So Osiris was resurrected and became lord of the underworld.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Oh... so he couldn’t have children anymore, huh.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''You are growing up far too quickly. Osiris, the Father of Gods. Brother of [[Set]], who murdered him. It is said that Iset's tears for her beloved husband created the [[Nile]].''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. Bayek later discovered and entered the {{Wiki|Pisces (constellation)|Pisces}} stone circle in [[Faiyum]].
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Papo, why do people die?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''We are not gods. Everything must die. It is what Amun has ordained for us.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Will we be together in the afterlife?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Be brave and strong. Fight for justice. Do not lie. This is all anyone can do. [[Ma'at]] will decide if we are worthy to walk together in the Fields of Reed. I'm sure you will, though. Your ka is good. Pisces, the two fish. Joined by the thread of this life, they are forever balanced between afterlife and the underworld.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. Bayek later discovered and entered {{Wiki|Ammit|the Scales}} stone circle in the Uab Nome.
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Those are the scales, called Chonsu. When we die, the goddess Ma'at weighs our hearts on them against her white feather.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''I remember this. If our hearts are pure and light, we walk in the Field of Reeds.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Very good. You were listening. The Scales measure truth and justice. Which is why the Medjay pursue these two things above all others.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. Bayek later discovered and entered the [[Serqet]] stone circle in the Iment Nome.
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Papo, how do you know if you're in love?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''Do you think you are in love?''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''I don’t know. Love should feel good. You and mom are the only ones I love. But this hurts. Sometimes, I can't even think straight.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''That sounds like love. It could be. I was once like that. I'm very sorry, son. The scorpion goddess Serqet. She protected Iset and Horus from jealous Set. She still protects against poisonous animals. But not love. Against that there is no protection, not even the gods can.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left. Bayek later discovered and entered the [[Taweret]] stone circle in Faiyum.
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''Papo, do you think I'll have many children?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''I hope you give your mother and I many grandchildren.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''I'll have to find a wife, then.''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''You're young my son. There's no reason to rush.''
| |
| *'''Khemu:''' ''I won't rush. But what if I already know?''
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''You need to learn how to be a Medjay first. Oh, Taweret, the hippopotamus who walks. Lady of the Birth House, she is the goddess of fertility and childbirth. Mistress of the Horizon, she brings with her the yearly flood of Ar.''
| |
| Bayek found the constellation. At day, he took a shard of the stone circle and left.
| |
| *'''Bayek:''' ''That's the last one. I can take all the shards back to Siwa now.'' | | *'''Bayek:''' ''That's the last one. I can take all the shards back to Siwa now.'' |
| Bayek returned to the Amun stone circle in Siwa. He placed the shards taken from each stone, reminiscing what Khemu once said. | | Bayek returned to the Amun stone circle in Siwa. He placed the shards taken from each stone, reminiscing what Khemu once said. |
