The desert doesn't forget.

Description

For Yebin, an archeologist who could barely keep her passion and wit to herself, it was the perfect honeymoon. The sand between her toes, her beautiful wife beside her, the pyramids in the background and tons, and I mean TONS, of ancient artifacts for her to uncover once she enters the newly found chamber of the late pharaoh Menkaure’s pyramid.

The same couldn’t be said for Minkyung, she didn’t like the sand, she didn’t care about the pyramids and, as much as she loved her wife, she was sure that the new chamber inside the pharaoh whatchamacallit’s pyramid would make Yebin spend more time inside that dusty old place than next to her in bed.

She was right, it doesn’t take more than a day for their honeymoon to become just another one of Yebin’s expeditions. But a weird string of events start occurring once a muscled, swarthy man who goes by the name of Seth shows up at their hotel doorstep at night. Events that will make Yebin doubt if her love for Minkyung is enough to save her from the impending doom that looms on the horizon.

Foreword

Out here with another short story. I’m guessing that the first two paragraphs led you, reader, to think that this was going to be a fluffy kind of story.

SIKE, NOT A CHANCE BRUH!

I still have to finish “Symptoms and stages”, but don’t worry, that one comes first, this will probably update in a couple of weeks. My main idea is to make this a two-shot, maybe three chapters if the story proves to be too long.

Nothing much to say other than I loved reading about different mythologies when I was younger, so I figured that I’d write something that involves one of my favorites ancient empires (and why not, one that involves my main bias wrecker Rena.)

Won't say anything else about the actual plot of the story, that will be for y'all to find out.

Sit tight, you are in for an unnerving ride.

Chapter 4: What an intense, turn of events right there. Just the thought of having egyptian mythology as it's concept was interesting and fascinating enough. Minkyung as a goddess (Literally heh) Her cat- like features suited the character. Humourous eureka tho and that sarcasm supply of the trio (that was funny). The idioms, morals, and such, how you inclined your own hypothesis and theories about myth, that was indeed amazing. The last phrase tho, I sensed a collab between greek and egyptian myth :D It somehow reminded me of the works of Rick Riordan :D Anyway, thank you for writing this one :)

Chapter 4: I'm so upset that this story has finished :(
The final chapter was so good; the description was amazing. I could visualise everything that was going on, so great job on that part!
The storyline flowed really well too - it didn't feel disconnected and choppy so that made the story even more amazing :)
I'm liking the idea of a sequel, but only if you have time for it! University is more important :)

Chapter 4: Whoaa finally it comes to the end ehehe i do really enjoy it a lot till i forgot that it's really short :) believe me i have to wait into the whole day before i back into the hotel so i can leave a comment here to appreciate your hardwork!

Idk how many times i said it on your works but i really love how you pay attention to the details like you even wrote scimitars instead of just "swords" plus how you end it with these action scene n wrapped up everything was on point even well umm it still ticked me off when i was reading it and i keep wondering what actually yebin's past that makes her has a connection with minkyung and you gave a little bit explanation that she was a priestess on the past and i was like "ohh.. Finally "

Still, my favorite was yeb n khepri banters..i'll not gonna say anything about the action because your action is always A++ i can even imagine minkyung n set battle with the leaps jump fly n else I'm totally satisfied! :D

Ohh lastly, i thought you only gonna wrapped it up like on the movies when yeb lose her memory again and i was like "ahh it's gonna be typical (in a good way) ending movie with the genre like this ,such a nice wrapped up" but then when i keep reading it and bamm this is totally my favorite! That Ra n minky convo is just like an after credit part and i really love those scenes on the movie!
The open ending in this way is a perfect, I'm lowkey hoping for a sequel but well even if you didn't make one, I'm already really really satisfied with this! Great job!!

Chapter 4: Ese cliffhanger me dejó mal, por un momento pensé que ibas a decir que iba a haber una secuela y yo wat (pensé muchísimo en percy jackson jaja) como cosa rara me gustaron las escenas de acción porque valen la pena y me dio risa esa parte en la que supongo era Khepri convenciendo a Yebin para que no pensara más en lo sucedido... Cuando empecé a leer no me imaginé nunca que Ra iba a ser portado por Yehana pero me pareció la mejor elección *o* (ojalá brille en este comeback)

El four-shot/mini-fic te quedó bien, no seas tan duro contigo mismo... espero leer más de ti próximamente pero primero acostúmbrate al horario de la uni, a la uni y luego regresa a los escritos ^^

Chapter 4: Woo! Nice to see it completed! Good job! I was cackling on the bus when I read the boldened words - 'its a solar beam'! Like yes! Good job yebin you kill one of the gods, you!

Good to also see an open ending so you can jump right back onto it whenever inspiration strikes. Hope your uni semester will go well.
