to bring Egypt back to its former glory.” I was sent back in time to kill Isis to prevent this from happening. I discovered that it is Isis herself who put this plan of world conquer into play.” He is shaking his head in denial as I speak. “No, this can’t be. Do you realize that by going back in time to kill Isis you would have killed us all.” Now it is my turn to shake my head.” That is not true, she is the queen of the damned, yes, but she is not the first vampire she is not our creator. She is just the one who took the throne once our creator was destroyed.” Now he is grasping the bars in fury. “Who told you these lies? Don’t you know that Isis is the mother of us all vampire and immortal alike. It is, because of her that we vampires were even born.” Kenji says.
“That’s not true. Ambrosia is our creator; she created us over the deep fires of earth; with her own blood and the blood of the unknowns.” I say. “Who has been feeding you these lies? Listen to me and listen well. Ambrosia was a vampire, the first vampire ever to be born; but Ambrosia is only the daughter of Isis nothing more.” I look at him while he says this last thing. How can I believe him? If what he says is true then that means, that the book of Semele is not true. I have a question for him that I know he cannot answer. “The book of Semele is where our teachings come from; it was written by Ambrosia herself. This book governs all of us and how we live as vampires. If Ambrosia is not the mother of us all, why would it say she was in the book of Semele? “Now he looks sadly at me, with pity instead of hate. “ The book of Semele was written by Ambrosia you are correct. I was there when it was being written.”
Now I am triumphant and I let it show on my face.” But, the book was dictated to Ambrosia by her mother Isis. I was there as she spoke the words to her daughter and bade her to write it all down, so that other vampires and immortals would be able to survive and rule their own kind.” I look at him in shock he has to be lying. “I know you think I am lying, but I tell you only the truth. Tell me who is it that brought the book of Semele to your kind?” I think hard trying to remember “It was Ramses; he is the one who brought the book to us in the age of darkness.” At the mention of Ramses name, his face again goes dark. “I can show you the truth, but we must escape this place, Eva. I have been listening to the thoughts of the ones who have questioned me and they do not intend to let us live.” I am surprised to hear him use my name, but I remember that throughout our conversation he has been one step ahead of me. He must have the power of reading the minds of others; he is a Sennin after all. “I can see why they would want to kill you, Kenji, but I don’t see why they would want to kill me.” He laughs at me and sits down on his cot. “They want to kill you, because they think that you have learned something that you shouldn’t.” Now I am livid with anger. “I have told them everything I know! The mission failed the target did not appear at the appointed time. Then you appeared, we fought and then we were brought back here through the Invictus portal. There was nothing else to tell I left nothing out!” I exclaim. “Yes, but you failed and came back with me, and for that reason they will kill you. The one who questioned me was Ramses; and as he spoke I read his thoughts. Would you like to know what he was thinking?” A feeling of fear and uncertainty is mounting in my chest. Do I really want to know what Ramses was thinking? Can I even trust Kenji to tell me the truth? He could just be trying to manipulate me into taking sides and setting him free. I take a deep breath, regardless of what he says I must know what was in Ramses’ mind’s eye. “Yes I want to know.” I say to him, my face is at the bars and I clench my fingers tight around the cool steel to center myself.
