Scrolls

Original scroll found at the University of Worship in Meroe

Labeled: This is a Scroll

This is the journal of the end of Se-Osiris, great magician of Egypt. I feel now that my time has come to go from this life and join Osiris in the Halls of the Dead, but the Goddess Isis has decreed that I leave behind a part of my work, for it shall be needed in later times. The Goddess came to me last night, telling me that I was to write the words that she would send, and place them in places that would be revealed as the story progressed. The first piece is to be placed in the Great Library, but I know not what it will say. I must await the arrival of the Goddess into my heart. -It seems that his writing here was severely impaired, maybe it was the prescence of the Goddess, or merely his excitement, we cannot tell - Aapep.

In a land of fighting, When one brother claims the crown, One by one, Shall great secrets be struck down.

The first piece of Justice, To right the sinners wrong, Shall be found in a firebird's nest, Who sings without a song.

Scroll in Meroe 777 -3901 is inscribed with the following.

Labeled: This is an old scroll

In a land of treachery, 
Where criminals run amok, 
One place only, 
Is secure without key or lock. 
A giant of the land, 
Who once walked from shore to shore, 
He sits enthroned in stoney shell, 
To walk this land no more.

And weight upon he feet.
