A/N: Since I'm getting a lot of questions about this story here, I will explain for all new readers. In an Episode, there is an Egyptian based Akuma that speaks about a Ladybug of the past who defeated him and ruined his plans to bring his Queen back from the dead. Tikki had stated that there has been many Chat Noir's and Ladybugs in the past.

I was highly inspired by this episode and decided it would be really neat to explore this concept. The Ladybug from 3000BC from the episode. So it is an AU story…but not really as well. It's more of an Original story that spins off of the series. I tried to write the two characters, Mazel and Ammon to be as close to Adrien and Marinette as the plot would allow.

Anyway, if you have any further questions, please PM me, I'd be happy to answer any questions. Happy reading!

Prologue

The two Kwami's floated above the city, the Capital of Memphis. Tikki looked over at Plagg. "I can sense mine down there."

The tiny black cat looked over at the other tiny Kwami and nodded. "Yeah, I can sense mine down there nearby as well."

Tikki shifted from side to side in mid-air, looking around the large city. Plagg had quickly gone his own way and was now searching for his new partner. Tikki, who was so busy concentrating, did not notice Plagg disappearing, began her own search. She could feel the strong presence so close by that she felt like she was going to bump into the one she was searching for at any given moment. It was very early in the morning and the sun was barely creeping over the horizon. The Kwami passed the city center and moved closer to the residences at the Niles edges. There were wheat fields lined the area next to little houses that were made of mud and straw. Tikki searched around, not sure which house to look around in first.

Though Tikki suddenly stopped and looked at a young girl who was sitting in front of one of the little houses. The girl was sitting on a rock that was just outside the hut, and she sat quietly and looked out at the Nile River. Tikki slowly floated over to the girl and stared at her. She studied the girl, trying to sense if she had the aura that she had been searching for. A giggle fell from her lips when she realized that this was the girl she had been searching for. Tikki flew down in front of the girl and smiled at her. The girl jumped when she saw the spotted creature. "W-What are you?"

"Me?" Tikki asked, pointing at herself. "Why, I'm a Kwami! I've been looking for you for so long!"

"Looking for me?" the girl asked. Tikki nodded and studied the girl. Her hair was short, cut evenly and above her shoulders. Her hair was lighter than most of the people in the city, brown rather than black. Her eyes were also a warm brown color and matched her hair color perfectly. Tikki thought the girl looked very kind. "Why me? What are you?" the girl asked, repeating her question.

"Like I said, I'm a Kwami, and my name is Tikki," she explained. "And I've been looking for you because I have a gift for you."

"A gift...why for me? I'm just a slave girl," she explained.

Tikki nodded, and brought her hands together, a small beam of light lighting up the area. The girl covered up her eyes protectively and gasped. The light disappeared, and when the girl looked back down, she saw the small Kwami offering a necklace to her. It was an incredibly simple necklace. It was a choker style and was made of a simple twinge, and the beads that hung down from it were what appeared to be simple brown wood. Even though it looked simple, the girl looked rather impressed with the gift.

"Slaves can't wear Egyptian jewelry, but this isn't Egyptian, and it's so simple, I would be allowed to wear it," she explained as she picked up the necklace from Tikki's tiny hands. "But why me? What did I ever do to deserve such a gift?"

"You're the current chosen one," Tikki explained. "The current hero I've been searching for. You're the next Ladybug."

"...Ladybug?"

Tikki nodded her head and smiled. "Ladybug is someone who appears only once every few generations. And only one person can be her. You're that girl!"

"But, what is a ladybug?"

"While not from here originally, a Ladybug is a type of beetle. Similar to a scarab. In some countries, they are seen as extremely lucky, which is what your gift is. Ladybug brings good luck to the people she saves," Tikki explained.

"So...you want me to be a hero, who saves people?" the girl seemed more confused by this concept than anything else.

Tikki just placed a hand on the girl's cheek. "There is no one else that can be a hero like you can be. Will you be my Ladybug?"

She frowned and placed her hands nervously on her lap, still grasping the choker the Kwami had given her. She thought for a long moment, but then she looked right at the small creature. "So, I'll be saving everyone? Regardless of status or faith?"

"Anyone who needs help. You'll be facing an evil known as an Akuma. You'll be purifying the evil."

The word caught the girl's attention. Her eyes were wide as she thought about the word and its meaning. Tikki could see the thought process through the girl. "So, I'd be doing God's will then?"

Tikki understood that this girl didn't share the same beliefs as the Egyptian's. She realized she must have been a Hebrew slave, which wasn't common in Egypt. Though Tikki had heard that the Israeli's and the Egyptians weren't exactly friendly towards the other. Tikki didn't believe in either faith's herself, but she knew that this girl would need a little bit of a positive shove in the right direction if she was to be a good hero. "You could say that. I'm sure God wouldn't want these Akuma hurting anybody. With the power I can give you, we can get rid of the evil that the Akuma spreads. So, will you be my Ladybug?"

The girl climbed to her feet and nodded. "Y-yes, I can be your Ladybug. If I can serve my lord this way, then I will be your Ladybug."

"Excellent. As I said before, I am Tikki. And what is your name?"

"Oh!" the girl explained. "I'm Mazel."

Tikki smiled at the girl. "Nice to meet you Mazel."

Plagg ended up near a large palace looking structure. He was impressed, to say the least. Though there were hundreds of people. Many were sleeping on the floor and didn't notice him flying above. So many people were about. It looked like they had had one heck of a party. Though none of these people were who Plagg was looking for. So he zoomed on through the palace over the sleeping forms, looking for his chosen one.

He approached a few bedrooms, many of which has even more finely dressed people, sleeping. He passed by them all when he couldn't find who he was looking for. So when he stopped at the entrance of a room and found a young man sitting up on a small chair, looking out over the balcony, he was intrigued. The last remaining moonlight struck the young man and bathed him in the light.

He didn't notice Plagg behind him, which gave Plagg the time he needed to study him. After an amount of time, Plagg realized that he was the one he was seeking. Plagg floated over to the young man, and within a few feet, the young man seemed to sense Plagg and he turned around to face him.

The young man had dark brown eyes, but they seemed brighter to Plagg in the darkness. He had dark hair, black in color, and cut short, though messy. Plagg had witnessed many people of this nation wearing wigs, but this young man seemed to be without one for the time being. Plagg moved closer to the young man and looked at him questionably. The young man did not make any remarks or seemed terribly concerned with the floating creature in front of him. Finally, the young man raised his hands out to him, and Plagg landed on the man's hand. He stroked the Kwami on the head.

"Have you seen sent from Baset?"

Plagg had heard the name in passing and realized it must have been one of the many gods that the Egyptians worshiped. Plagg didn't care what the human thought either way and seemed indifferent about the subject. "I came of my own accord," he spoke.

This surprised the young man, but he barely showed any emotion really to Plagg. "Hmm, a cat that can speak. I'm intrigued. Why have you come to me?"

Plagg scratched his ear as he studied the human. "I came because you are the chosen one."

"Chosen one?" he asked. "For what?"

"I come to those who are chosen to become the hero, Chat Noir. I've been searching for you for a while now. I can give you powers that will enable you to defeat an enemy known as an Akuma," Plagg explained. "I am called a Kwami, and my name is Plagg." He put his two paws together and a green light admitted from his paws, and he with a flash, he was holding a gold bracelet out to the young man. "This is my gift to you. This will give you the means to defeat the Akuma's."

"I am Ammon," the young man spoke as he reached for the bracelet and took it from the Kwami. He studied the bracelet, and put it on himself, and looked at it in the last remaining moonlight. "My father told me that the gods had greatness planned for me. I always thought he said it because his brother is Pharaoh, I never imagined they'd have a plan like this."

Plagg kept his eyes on the human as he began to float in mid-air again. "The Akuma are very dangerous, and you are only one part of the team. Out there, there is another with great powers. You will meet along the way. You both have the duty of playing the hero of this world."

Ammon studied the bracelet still on his wrist, and a smile formed on his lips. "Tell me more about these Akuma...and what about this, other."

A/N: So that's the prologue. Just a short introduction to the origin of these two. I did a ton of research into the history of Egypt and decide to make it as accurate to real history as I can. Along with my research, I found that Hebrew slaves were very uncommon until around 1500BC or so, but they were still slaves around 3000bc. Also most interesting, slaves worked the fields...and were actually paid. Not a lot, but a little. And after saving, they could buy their freedom. So interesting stuff, I may use in the story at some point. So I hope everyone likes this story so far. Mazel and Ammon will be as much like Marinette and Adrien as I can make them...but I fear that Ammon is already slipping away into a stronger character. Also, I feel like I should warn a few people that because of the time frame and such, religion will play a huge part in two characters' lives.

Also, I thought it would be cool if the Miraculous was different for every Chat Noir or Ladybug. Matching that matched the era and person.

Sorry, I'm rambling. Let me know what you think!
