Description
Dialogue
Bayek and Aya rode into an eerily quiet Siwa.
- Aya: Completely silent. The animals, too.
- Bayek: Some sort of plague has hit the village.
- Aya: That viper Flavius did this.
- Bayek: We should have ripped out his entrails long before now. Let us get to the vault.
- Aya: Roman soldiers.
- Bayek: Must be Flavius's men.
- Soldier: Take those intruders down!
The soldiers are dealt with quickly, and the two continued on their way.
- Aya: It was Flavius all along. He brought Caesar and the Romans here, hoping to take complete power.
- Bayek: Rabiah! What happened here?
- Rabiah: Quickly... Hepzefa... The vault!
- Bayek: Rabiah, we will come back to you when we can.
We trusted him. We were fools.
The pair neared the vault, where soldiers spotted them.
- Soldier: Intruders! Attack!
Fighting their way through soldiers, they gained entry to the underground vault.
- Aya: Bayek there is trouble ahead.
- Soldier: The vault is opening! Run for over!
- Aya: Look! The vault!
- Bayek: They're frightened of the opening door.
- Aya: They're running!
Careful. We don't know what's in there. - Bayek: We must find out what happened.
As they descended deeper past the open door, they saw a large, golden globe.
- Aya: Bayek. Are we dreaming?
- Bayek: We have entered the Duat.
- Aya: Who could imagine such a land as this?
- Bayek: No man should approach this close to the gods.
- Aya: Who created this? The gods themselves? Ah! Here is the story of mankind... Bayek? Bayek.
Bayek found Hepzefa's body, overcome with grief.
- Bayek: It is Hepzefa. Oh, my seni. Your life is done here in the desert dust. They took my closest friend.
- Aya: We must rush to stop Flavius.
- Bayek: No! We cannot leave him here. He deserves a proper farewell.
He rose, taking Hepzefa in his arms.
- Aya: Go ahead, Bayek. I am with you.
- Bayek: Hepzefa knew nothing of the Order. There was no cause for him to be killed. Flavius ripped out his heart as a message to me. It was he who killed Khemu.
- Aya: My husband, we will end this.
Outside the vault Bayek found Rabiah.
- Bayek: Rabiah.
- Rabiah: I saw what happened. It was horrible. The Roman leaders entered the temple vault.
- Aya: Septimius and Flavius.
- Rabiah: The objects they carried opened it as if by a god's hand. Hepzefa tried to stop them, but they rendered him helpless. They entered the vault, a blue fire seemed to emerge. I fled to no avail. The entire village lost its reason and fell to the ground like dolls.
- Villager 1: They have destroyed Siwa.
- Villager 2: They must die!
- Villager 1: You must put an end to this!
- Rabiah: Bayek. Aya. You have the prayers o the entire village to support you.
- Bayek: Let us bring Hepzefa to his rest. Then we will seek justice.
Hepzefa's funeral took place later that evening.
- Officiant: Let the embalmers come. We pray Anubis accept this ornament in place of his heart, such that Hepzefa may walk free in the Field of Reeds.
- Bayek: Hepzefa, old friend. I miss our talks, Hepzefa. And drinking beer! Siwa needs you, Hepzefa. Hepzefa. Where are you now, my friend? Walking in the Field of Reeds? Hepzefa. I could use your help now, seni.
- Rabiah: Bayek, Hepzefa would have wanted you to have this. The weapon he prized above all others.
- Bayek: I am honored.
Bayek made his way to Aya, who stood in front of where their son was buried.
- Aya: Some villagers captured a Roman soldier and questioned him. Flavius is headed for Cyrene and Septimius for Alexandria.
- Bayek: I will kill Flavius.
- Aya: There is a farm at the border of Cyrene. Someone there may have seen Flavius pass through. As for me, I will cut out the heart of Septimius.
- Bayek: I feel as though wherever we go, tragedy follows. Perhaps we should come to terms...
- Aya: It is hard. I don't want to let go but...
- Bayek: Every time I think of you I think of Khemu and everything we lost.
- Aya: Me too. So for now. We kill.
- Bayek: Farewell Aya.
Bayek knelt.
- Bayek: It has been too long, son.
