Chapter Five Part 1 of 3: Law of the Amazons

Neith in modern pop culture art

Horus and Hathor started travelling back to Israel. It is Horus’ intention, to send Hathor back to Israel first, then he would return to Sais, for his horse. Horus is a trained trader and the life of a trader belongs on the road anyway. They are not meant to stay in one place.

Horus and Hathor traveled upon the country road, between city states. Suddenly an arrow fire towards Horus’ location. Horus quickly dogged the arrow. Horus was quick to grab his weapons, to engage whoever that fired the arrow. The person that fired the arrow walked out of the bush. It was Neith.

“Ms. Neith?” Hathor said

“Get out of the way Hathor.” Neith said

“What is going on here?’ Hathor asked

“None of your business. Move out of the way Hathor. This is between me and Horus.” Neith said

“No!” Hathor said

“Move, or I won’t care if I shot you by accident.” Neith said

“NO!” Hathor jumped in front of Horus

Neith fired her arrow.

Horus quickly grabbed Hathor and jumped side way.

Horus grabbed his weapon back from the ground and charged towards Neith.

Neith fired three arrows. Horus blocked all three arrows, while charging towards Neith.

Neith grabbed her weapons, two short wooden lances. Horus had a short lance in one hand and a hammer in his other hand and engaged.

Horus and Neith fought each other, each move are deadly. The two of them exchanged eight moves, neither can get the upper hand. Finally, the two of them locked weapons, Neith might be a trained warrior, but so is Horus, so, when Neith really need to compete via strength, Horus got the clear advantage. Neith thought for a second, she was quick, used her legs to try trip Horus. Horus moved back and that gave Neith a chance to break the weapon lock and quickly jumped backwards and return to a fighting pose

“Who taught you how to fight.” Neith said

“None of your business.” Horus replied

“Your fighting style, might not be Amazonian, might be superior to Amazonian, is obviously of your own invention, but it is obviously built upon Amazonian. Who taught you? Who is your master?” Neith replied

“As you said, my fighting style is self-invented” Horus said

“No self-invented combat style, can be of such high standard, not unless he got proper training and very well trained. Now, who is your master!” Neith said

“None of your business.” Horus said

“In that case.” Neith attacked again.

Horus fought back. The two of them were again equal match, neither one can get the upper hand. Horus managed to land a kick on Neith. Neith fall back, but didn’t fall down. She charged again, striking again and again. Horus flick the attack away and tried to strike, but every time, Neith was able to quickly dogged aside and attack again.

Horus know his only advantage against Neith is his physical strength as a man, in all other arena, they are even match, but Amazonian fighting style, is heavy on knowing how to counter a bigger and stronger opponent, so, it is not likely, he could use it to his advantage. Horus started keep jumping side way and away from the range of Neith’s spear attack. Horus tried to attack, Neith took a different fighting pose, standing on her side like fencing and when Horus attack, she flicks it away and attack, but Horus flick it away jumped side way.

“Neith, please.” Hathor said

Instead, Neith jumped back a few times, she quickly grabbed Hathor and aimed her weapon upon Hathor.

“Let her go Neith. She got nothing to do with this.” Horus said

“Who taught you.” Neith said

“Why do you care?” Horus replied

“If you are been taught by Amazons, you must know the law of the Amazons, its warrior skills can only be taught to women, never to a man. Who taught you?” Neith replied.

“Not from the Amazons. There are plenty of combat style that look similar. How do you know the combat style, I invent is based on the Amazons?” Horus said

“You think I cannot tell the difference between Amazonian and other form of combat style?” Neith said

“I think you are confused.” Horus said

“I think you are stalling” Neith said

“I don’t believe you would hurt Hathor, Neith. She is too much like a sister to you.” Horus replied

“You be surprise what I would do.” Neith said “Is your fighting style that of the Amazons?”

“Let the girl go. You want to kill me, she got nothing to do with it. It is between you and me.” Horus said

“Take your own life. Or I will kill the girl.” Neith said

Horus sighed and finally, he dropped his weapons. “If you want me dead so badly, you should’ve let those soldiers killed me, back in Sias.” Horus said

“Saving you is due to you were stealing the corps of Osiris. It is to send a message to the world, so they know there be people backing them up, for that sort of behavior. Killing you, is to uphold the laws of the Amazons.” Neith said

“Do, you even know why that law is in place? The Amazons is gone, wiped off the face of the earth by Seth. You want Seth dead? Or do you want to create war amount his enemies.” Horus said

“Neith, I won’t let you, use my life to threaten Horus.” Hathor said, she started trying to grab Neith’s lance and stab herself.

Neith won’t let it. Horus use the chance to move forward and attack, he punched Neith and as she was falling backwards, Horus quickly grabbed Hathor out of Neith’s arm. Horus and Neith started fighting again, this time, it is hand to hand. Neith and Horus was still even match.

“Neith! That is enough!” Khnum voice boomed into existence

After hearing Khnum’s voice, Neith jumped backwards. Horus didn’t use the chance to engaged.

“This is not the time, to enforce outdated laws.” Khnum said

“Sir” Neith said

“The school of the Amazons was created, so women are able to protect themselves, so when their nation was defeated, the women can protect themselves, from the hand of the enemy. They only allow women to learn it, due to the fear of those skills was learned by the thugs and they find a way to counter it. But the original law, said to kill any thugs that learn its combat style. When the school got taken by radical in leadership that is when they change their law to say to kill any man that learned their skills.” Khnum said

“Do you know how I know? That school opened sixty years ago, by the table of Aten. I am old enough to have seen its early stage. In fact, when the school first began, most of the instructors were men, but they pick further instructors from its former students, eventually its leadership, is replaced by women, but at some stage, the leadership got taken by radicals. That is when the law turns from killing all thugs that know Amazonian fighting style, to kill all men that know Amazonian fighting style.” Khnum said

“But Horus, you are not fooling anybody, your fighting style is from the Amazons. The fighting style of the world split into six categories. Amazonian is category four. Nobody perfected this category, better than the Amazons.” Khnum said to Horus.

“You went after the corps of Osiris. you know the fighting of the Amazons. And only those who are very well trained, can take on a Captain of the Twenty-four elders and be even match. Until I started giving Neith additional training, she was not able to do it either. Who are you?” Khnum said calmly

“You won’t believe me, if I tell you.” Horus said

“Try me.” Khnum said

“Osiris is my father, prince of Heliopolis, Pharaoh of the world. Son of Geb and Nut and Grandson of the Pharaoh Ra. My mother is the Princess Ishtar. Queen of the world, Princess of the Amazon. Daughter of Sin, Queen of the Amazons.” Horus replied

Khnum nodded his head, he served under Ra, Geb and Osiris. Horus seem to be telling the truth to him and Khnum see the resemblance. Khnum looked at Horus for a second “Alright, I believe you.” Khnum said

A little while later, Serket walked forward, she was travelling with Khnum. Hathor hide the fact that she was jealous.

“You two may as well travel with us, until we are to part, when we need to get to the rally point.” Khnum said

“Alright” Horus said

Hathor nodded.
