In Ancient Egypt, there was the young ten-year-old King who was Tut Ankh En Set Amun.
"I am tired of sitting around all day!" the young pharaoh groaned, folding his arms. "I want to play with my friends!"
"Forgive me, sire, but you must meet your future bride today..." a servant reminded him.
"Very well... Send her in!" the impatient boy king demanded.
The servants came and carried a stand that had a lavish purple curtain over it with jewels and gold with rubies encrusted with it and it was lowered to reveal a girl his age. She wore a white gown with puffy and braided caramel brown hair with huge golden earrings and she had midnight blue eyes with thick eyelashes and she wore scarab beetle jewelry.
"Presenting the Princess Lotus of Cairo." a servant announced.
"Hello, your highness." the princess bowed to him.
King Tut Ankn Set Amun bowed to her as well. "Greetings and welcome to my kingdom, fair princess."
The servants smiled, the kids remembered their training and manners.
"You two will be wed at 18," Princess Lotus's father reminded them. "It's been going back for generations! Now, you must bond like civilized, proper, and young adults..."
"Wanna play tag?" Tut asked.
"Yeah!" Lotus smiled.
"Tag, you are it!" Tut tagged her and ran off.
Lotus laughed and chased after them, already breaking the rules of their arranged marriage service.
"Oh boy, not again." Princess Lotus's father sighed.
"Shall I get them for you, sir?" a servant offered.
Princess Lotus's father sighed. "Just let her go for now... Maybe this time she won't throw a temper tantrum."
Princess Lotus and King Tut laughed as they chased each other across the sand, passing camels and the great pyramids.
"You can't catch me, King Tut!" Princess Lotus giggled.
"Get back over here!" Tut called, not going to give up.
Princess Lotus giggled and hid behind one of the pyramids.
There was an evil goddess secretly watching the two young royals. She was very young and actually Greek, but was visiting Egypt, she was known as Eris and would become the future wielder of the Apple of Discord. "Hmph... What makes them so special, huh?" she scoffed to the Egyptian children. "Maybe some chaos should make Grecian culture more cherished than Egyptian!" she then took out her golden apple that had a capital K on it, she grinned as she was going to cause some chaos to befall on the royals.
"Did you hear something, King Tut?" Princess Lotus looked a little concerned.
"What?" King Tut asked her, obviously not.
There came an Egyptian kid, looking a little sad.
"That's my friend, Nepkaa!" King Tut noticed and rushed to him.
Princess Lotus wasn't what else to do, so she went with him.
"Nepkaa, what is wrong?" King Tut asked in concern.
"My toy is stuck at the top!" Nepkaa pointed to the temple tip that was next to a tree for a lift. "Tut... I am a bad climber, could you get it for me with this?" he then took out the sacred Scepter of Was.
"I-Isn't that the Scepter of Was?" Tut got concerned. "But the guards said not to play with those!"
"Please Tut, please help me..." Nepkaa begged him. "I won't tell anyone, I promise..."
"Well, you know you're not supposed to play with it," Tut looked very firm at first, then smiled peacefully. "But, I guess I could help you."
Nepkaa smiled. "Oh, thank you so much!"
Princess Lotus smiled at Tut's generosity for his friends in need.
King Tut climbed up the tree and used the scepter to get the toy off from on top of the temple for his friend. However, there was suddenly a golden glow and the toy turned into an apple. "What the!?"
The apple became a huge wrecking ball and smashed the temple and the debris was coming down over Tut.
"KING TUT!" Princess Lotus cried for him.
"You're mine, Princess..." Nepkaa grinned to the Cairo princess, revealing to be Eris and Eris vanished with her while Tut was being crushed to death.
"PRINCESS LOTUS, NOOOOO!" Tut cried.
The servants and king rushed over, their worst fears had been realized. Their young king was deceased and Princess Lotus was missing. Who knew what would become of their society in years, or even, centuries time? The people prayed to the gods and goddesses to have mercy on Tut and Lotus's souls.
Present Day...
"And we never saw Princess Lotus again..." the current King Tut, who was 3,000 years old now and had been reawakened by a girl named Cleo Carter and her cat, Luxor, was telling them the story, for today was the anniversary of his death and the disappearance of his suitor.
"Do you think you're ever gonna see her again?" Cleo asked the mummy boy.
"I have never seen her again for 3,000 years, Cleo... It's hopeless..." Tutenstein sighed. "She was perfect too..."
"Hmm... I wish I could help you..." Cleo soothed him, he was her friend after all.
"Me too, good sir..." Luxor nodded in agreement.
"Thank you both very much..." Tutenstein said to them.
"Well, I better get home and finish my homework before the museum closes," Cleo grabbed her backpack. "You better get back in your sarcophagus. Tomorrow's a visiting day."
"Oh, why bother look forward to visiting day when I can't even see any other humans?" Tutenstein huffed as he climbed in to get some sleep.
"Poor Tut, he's so upset," Cleo frowned for her friend. "Oh, Luxor, I wish there was something we could do."
"Maybe there will be, Cleo..." Luxor purred as he walked home with her. "Maybe after visiting day, you could take him out for ice cream since he's so fond of it these days."
"We'll see..." Cleo shrugged.
Luxor suddenly shivered at one point. "Ooh, the gods and goddesses sure seem tense tonight..."
Cleo rolled her eyes at her knowledgeable cat, but smiled to him as they went home. "I wish a miracle would happen so we could use it to help Tut."
"Maybe it will..." Luxor purred.
