Dragons of Egypt by Emerson Hart
NA Perfume Description
In the beginning of Egypt the land was full of darkness. The sun God RA opened his eyes unto the land of gold sand bringing light where there was none. Nothing existed in Egypt but sand and serpents that lived in the recesses of shadow. Thus the sun God ripped a blue river through the desert in order to discover the new land in his eyes. He sailed down it with his solar barge of light and named the river Nile.
The desert around the Nile was full of nothingness and Dragons. And so the myth turns. Aphophis, the enormous water Dragon, would not let RA flow safely down the river Nile because he disliked the light coming from the God’s barge above his newly acquired river. He began to chew on the boat until RA was awoken from his sleep at the break of dawn. RA drew the Sun Disk up from the red desert and upon the desert floor the change of colour began from red to gold. The sand of Egypt shined like tiny gold flecks. Along with the sunlight the Fire Dragon Phyriad was born.
“Phyriad.” RA spoke. “Take to the heavens and find me the Syren and stop this water snake from bothering my slumber. Take heed Fire Dragon and close your mind to her song for her music is deafening to be heard.”
Phyriad nodded his giant head and took to the sky. The Fire Dragon flew above the clouds looking down upon the deepest part of Africa until he found the tallest waterfall along the Nile. Phyriad hovered just before the pouring white water and spoke in a deep voice to what he could not see but knew that was there, “RA requests your song upon the tip of the Nile. Be swift beautiful one.”
Syren, the Nile Goddess, waited until the Fire Dragon had flown away. Syren could not waste any time being beckoned by RA and called upon her sky Dragon, Celehstya. Climbing on the beautiful red Dragon Celeshstya flew to the call of the God RA at the tip of the Nile.
“I am here.” She said to RA upon her swift arrival.
“Go to this serpent in the water and sing your song. When you are done come back to me for I have other plans for you and your red Dragon.” RA said softly as his eyes began to fall to sleep and the sun disk lowered back into the Earth. RA had plans for her to sing to the dark land and rid Egypt of the evil that lie in wait.
Syren complied and rode steadfast on Celehstya both looking everywhere along the Nile for the water Dragon. At the center of the Nile Syren began to sing her deadly song in anticipation that Aphophis would lift its head from the water in curiosity. As the water Dragon rose to hear the noise from above he soon became mad in the beauty of its sound. The music without words went through him like fire forced upon water. Emblazoned with its music Aphophis went mad and dove down into the deepest recesses of the Nile never to be seen again.
Just as the water Dragon dove to his quiescence the wind Dragon Saphyrium heard the beautiful song from afar. Enchanted and numb to the deadly part of the Syren’s voice Saphyrium became enraptured and soon fell intoxicated with her song.
“What beautiful sound is this?” He asked. “What thing without sense makes my heart breathe winds of sand?” He continued more enraptured than before, “what is this I feel within my Dragon heart that makes my dark heart beat so unsteady?”
Astounded by the fact that a fellow Dragon had found her music within its heart moved her. The serpent Goddess stopped singing and looked upon the wind Dragon’s eyes. One moment within space, a fracture in time and she too fell to love just as he had to her music.
The Nile Goddess guided her red Dragon Celehstya to the red sand of the night and dismounted her. She looked to Saphyrium as the night moon cradled his incandescent skin. Closer they drew to each other until finally a kiss was pressed between their lips.
“It is not normal for a Syren, such as myself, to love,” she said, “but I cannot contain this feeling that you have heard my song and instead of singing my song of death, you have confounded me and it has brought a warmth to my heart unlike any other.”
“I too feel this.” He said, “I too have fallen to love.”
Meanwhile at the tip of the Nile the sun God RA beckoned the Fire Dragon Phyriad to him, “Where is the Syren? I have another task to place upon her and her Dragon.” He said. “Phyriad take my Dragon Sohlahryan to use his light to help you find her upon the Nile. If the water serpent has brought her to her death I will need another to distract what keeps me from my sleep. Until then she is our only hope to rid this land of dark Dragons.” With that RA closed his eyes and all of the red and gold of the Egyptian sand turned blue as the moon hovered over the sleeping land.
Phyriad and Sohlahryan took to the night sky in search of the Syren. Upon the nights flight Sohlahryan lit the way so that they might see what lay beneath them on the labyrinth of water far below.
“There.” Sohlahryan said aiming his snout to a crest in the Valley. From the crest rose blazes of fire, one dark blue and the other dark green. Two Dragons exchanged melee with each other fighting with claw and fire. “This is not a fight we should be a part of. RA needs to know of turmoil in his land.” Said Sohlahryan to Phyriad and both turned from the encounter back toward the tip of the Nile.
Below in the crest of the mountain the Dragon Mnemythe and the Dragon Sekhephrium dueled without dissertation. Mnemythe wished to rid the land of light and put the entire land back into its darkness. Sekhephrium, while a Dragon of shadow, disagreed but not without a hardy word from the other.
“The land of Egypt will be mine.” Mnemythe roared. “The land of Egypt falls to RA and RA only dark Dragon.” Said Sekhephrium. They opened their mouths wide and drew dark blue and dark green fire breath toward each other. They clawed at the night piercing the other’s skin attempting to kill one another. The fight went on all night until finally upon their last breath they looked to the light riding down the Nile. The solar barge was headed toward them. RA had been disturbed from his deep slumber once again this time from the sound of indulgent hostility. Alongside him Phyriad and Sohlahryan flew on the energy from the sun God’s barge.
“Enough!” RA roared. He roared so loud the sound of his voice cracked the dark night until the Sun Disk rose again blinding both of the dark Dragons of night.
The voice of RA broke through their skin of blue and green scales until it reached their blood and pulsed the sun’s energy into them. Sekhephrium became lit from within and became a beautiful incandescent Dragon the way he had always wanted to become changed from his chrysalis of darkness into a Dragon of light. RA’s voice, however, turned against Mnemythe and the dark Dragon sneered and arose high into the sky and then back toward the Earth. The other Dragons thought he would surely crash himself onto the solar barge but instead fell so quickly and harshly he went straight through the Earth into the darkness of the Underworld where he would become his own dark Lord Anubis.
“Do you know of the Syren?” Asked RA of the new beautiful Sekhephrium as the gold dust settled slowly back to the land.
Sekhephrium bowed his head to his Lord, “She is with Saphyrium in his cave just ahead from this spot.”
RA instructed the three Dragons to wait for him until his return. The solar barge continued down the River Nile until RA heard the familiar sound of the Syren song. “Syren,” RA said toward the cave, “ why have you not returned as I have requested?”
The Syren and the Dragon Saphyrium came forth from the cave. “We have found each other my Lord RA and it was not my wish to stray from you. After I relinquished the serpent Dragon Aphophis into the deepest part of the Nile this Dragon Saphyrium came to my song and instead of my music bringing death upon him he brought love to me instead.” She looked down and touched her stomach. “I carry a new Dragon for your land of Egypt.” She said. “And I shall call him Llorhn.”
RA smiled at this. Bowed his head, something a God never did, and congratulated Syren and Saphyrium.
“This was meant to be.” He said, “I have plans for this Llorhn. Great plans to populate this land full of riches, pyramids and people. I need a strong Dragon both of man and of serpent to assist in the building of this gold land and keep my sleep intact as I sleep through the darkening of my day. You have done well my Syren in your doing. This does not end here,” He said continuing, “I will need more Dragons to reap the waters of the tip of the Nile, what I shall call Alexandria. I will need Dragons to plant life where there is none and death to those that fight against the Sun Disk RA.
