Description
Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can merely be transformed. As such millions of years of evolution have brought the best use of the energy available to biological organisms. One cannot fly without fragile bird bones or lift a car without the imprecise muscles and cumbersome size of a gorilla. But what if one instead of conjuring energy out of nowhere could borrow power from another TIME where it wasn’t needed without destroying it? Such an ability even if difficult to archive would certainly have to prevail if found in the evolutionary chain...

A creature harnessing that power could certainly rise atop the food pyramid and become unavoidable... but nature finds a balance. When one gathers something this must be taken away from where it came from. Then when something is taken away from time to perform an impressive burst of power at once, the one performing it would have its presence in the time continuum disturbed as if its existence were merely tangential to this world before the strike.

But how could one control such force if bestowed in one’s genes? Could one without a moment’s notice be erased from time? This struggle was shared by an ancient man living by the Nile, presumably around 3000 B.C. Coming from a line of people suspected to be victims of a curse, to disappear before being formally taken by Anubis. Sometimes at one’s prime, sometimes even at the womb.

Not being paralyzed by terror, this mysterious individual became humble hunter until one lucky night. Catching a bird so gigantic that is was presumed to be Horus himself! But beyond being just a fruitful hunt, after the feast a truly unexpected development came to be, this beast’s bones with the right proximity and nervous stimulus could allow any member of the pariah family to be partially present at a calm state of mind without disappearing permanently, shortly after being able to perform superhuman feats.

It is told that the ones who made use of these abilities abused them to their own gains. With people who could at one time perform acts beyond human and at another banish without vestige, they were only rivaled by peers. The Hunter then was the only one to step up to the task to end the wicked treads of his bloodline.

But power corrupts, with exclusive access to the bones and a will accustomed to be used to be imposed upon others, “the Hunter” as he became known turned zealous, groomed the young blood that he trusted, exchanged all outside bonds in return for power. As such the inmortal “Cult of Horus” was born!

Living longer but detached from the regular passage of time, the Cult learned by experimenting with the bones and making use of the coming developments of early science, then went beyond their regular bodies to dispose other biological matter to their own to spent it in exchange.

Unfortunately for the Hunter, some of those who he recruited came to rebel against him, turning him ever more paranoid but not less determined to hold his grasp, dedicated the Cult to end the misfits with more descendants to closely forge exclusively as weapons.

Coming to be around the times of the rise of the Roman Empire, one of these weapons was born: Kesi, always under the exclusive patronage of the Cultists, her mind became undivided in following their lead... all until, at the peak of her role, an old rebellious tutor and a fugitive opens her eyes to a world beyond the obscurity that was forced on her. With great power of her own trusted in an alien world, Kesi is set free!
