Main information about Zarem Egyptian Period
I would like to present my new work on my own fantasy universe, which now has a history of hundreds of thousands of years.
As you know, last year I officially introduced the so-called Zarem period of Ancient Egypt into my setting. You can read about it at the link above.
Better to read it first, and then - the story.
In short: the main plot is dedicated to the bloody war in the Middle East and in "green Libya" (Africa) for 4500 years BC, that is, long before the unification of Lower and Upper Egypt and long before the formation of the Sahara Desert. The center of Egypt in those days was Nom (principiality) Zarem, located within the central or eastern Sahara. Then it was green and fertile land.
This year I expanded this period to the galactic level. While the war between Zarem and his enemies was raging on Earth, a very dangerous race of Parasites called the Devourers (Mind-Eaters) invaded the main galaxy. It is believed that she was associated with the ancient deity of darkness and gloom Marfur-Nirari, who at one time destroyed Hyperborea and many other galactic civilizations.
The Devourers were defeated thanks to the efforts of the Elfurr Empire, which used a nano-weapon called the Invisible Warhost.
4500 BC brought a lot of trouble not only for the Earth, but for the entire galaxy. Unfortunately, billions of parasite carriers could not be saved.
In this case, I present to you a work written in the form of a play or screenplay.
The main action takes place on Earth. For the first time my setting touches Ancient Egypt 4500 BC
(Yes, yes, and by the way, Total War Pharaoh is coming soon!)
Starring a mercenary from the "sea people" Hyperion, who once served the evil Zarem pharaoh Sekherkar. But at one point, he realizes that the pharaoh is a tyrant, and joins the uprising. Together with a detachment of loyal warriors, he moves deep into the Zarem kingdom in order to take the city of Abido (Abydos). However, his squad is ambushed and ends up in a deadly jungle that is not as friendly as it seems.
What's next - you will read for yourself.
I must apologize for some bad words in this story, but i used the 'Realism writing strategy', so the warriors in jungles can`t be polite for their companions.
And the language of war is not a poetry of Mr Dante.

Just a 1st part of the story.
(unfortunately, haven`t much time for 100% translation, but Google helped me a lot)
Approximately 4500 BC
Zarem era of Egypt. Southeastern lands of Zarem.
Great River.
Act 1. Attack.
Five fighters of the vanguard units of the Rebellion are sailing on a boat along the Great River to the south. Their names are Laertes, Goson, Hyperion (commander), Abudesh and Amhar. All are dressed in light leather armor, with white scarves on their heads. Abudesh and Amhar hold bows at the ready, the rest are armed with spears or bronze swords.
Along the way, they need to free several villages from the army of Pharaoh Sekherkar. Together with them, at least ten more boats full of warriors are floating along the river.
The weather is hot, the sun is blinding. But the warriors do not give up and row with all their might. There are no settlements nearby. Left and right - continuous jungle. Judging by the map, they are approaching the lands of Abidu, where the pharaoh's troops should gain a foothold. But there are still many settlements that require liberation.
Laertes (swinging the oar, tensing his muscles):
“When will this ******* hot sun end……
Goson (in annoyance):
- When will your hubbub end, Laertes. Honestly, I want to push you into the Great River to the crocodiles ....
Laertes (sternly):
- It’s just that we’ve been sailing for an hour, and not a single village ....
Hyperion (loudly, while continuing to row):
Both shut up! Otherwise, I'll throw them both out!
Laertes and Goson are silent. They understand that an angry commander is worse than any bad weather.
Abudesh (to Amhar):
- Look at both. So that the sekherkars don’t **** us for an hour ....
Amhar (looks closely at the jungle):
- What do you think I'm doing here?
Abudesh:
- I don't know, but you need to look more closely ... and not dream. You look like you're in the clouds.
Amhar (snarls):
- And you look like you've been crushing a sheep all night .... I'm not telling you anything.
Hyperion (beside himself):
- May be enough? I missed the controversy here! Everyone shut up! Otherwise, I swear by all the gods, I will throw everyone out of the boat and swim forward alone!
Abudesh:
- Master, it was Amhar who began to insult me.
Hyperion (terribly):
- Shut up! Didn't you hear what I told you?
At this moment, an arrow flies out of the jungle. In less than a second, it plunges into Amhar's forehead, punching through his skull. The warrior falls dead onto the boat, nearly knocking over his comrades.
Shouts of the vanguard commanders:
- Ambush! Ambush! It's the Sekherkars!
Hyperion quickly raises his wicker shield in front of him. Three arrows pierce him at once. The enemy was clearly waiting for the rebels and decided to strike.
Arrows are raining from everywhere from the side of the jungle. It looks like a real rain of death. Not everyone has time to hide behind shields. In the next boat - no luck. The shell hit the group commander right in the temple. The second hit the archer in the groin, causing him to recoil so that he knocked down his neighbor from behind. The third hit the spearman on the cheek.
- Raise your shields! Raise your shields, you stupid bastards! Shields!
(Loud cries of commanders are heard from all sides.)
Hyperion (in all throat):
- Everyone in the water! Everyone in the water! Otherwise we'll all be killed here!
The fighters quickly rush into the water, while trying not to fall under the arrows. And the arrows, meanwhile, are only getting bigger.
Hyperion notices from the corner of his eye that another nearby boat has come under fire. And apparently, not everyone managed to jump. Another commander was killed by an arrow. Two of his companions were already dead.
After making sure everyone else from the boat has jumped, Hyperion rushes into the river after them. He knows how to swim well, and therefore knows how to get out. The main thing is to get to the other side of the coast, where there are no enemies. Shoot only from the right bank. But on the left - everything is calm .... Anyway, for now.
Hyperion swims with all his might, straining his muscles to the limit. He left his weapon in the boat, but he still had a dagger with him. If anything, it would definitely save his life.
