Amun POV
As I sit in my office pouring over some ancient records that point to the whereabouts of a lost artifact I've been seeking for Persephone. I remember that in about two weeks it will be time to head to the Bahamas for our annual get together. This year, since I was unable to attend last year since it felt like the havens were trying to bury Egypt. For this reason I decided I'll be heading out on Friday this week. As that thought flits across my head I lean back in my chair. With a sigh as I also remember that day is also the same day that I awoke. I sigh again and lean my head back on the headrest when I start thinking about more recent years, all the years since I awoke in the year 2000.
As I think about this I remember that the day I awoke Eli, Ra, was getting ready to head out the door for the annual gathering. He had checked on us earlier in the day and since none of us had any detectable energy levels rising, he didn't check on us again in the afternoon. But as he passed into the living room, here I came stumbling out of what I thought was a temple. Only to exit the room to have absolutely no idea where in the Ra I was. I exclaimed in the Old Egyptian language and Ra stopped cold in his tracks with a stunned look on his face. The only reason I knew it was Ra is because like the others I could see through the illusion he had set up. I in my traditional ancient garb stood slumped against the doorframe. I had a baffled look on my face to see Ra in an alien set of, well I wasn't sure at that time what he was wearing. Later I came to know that it was called casual wear.
The more I recall the day, I remember that is the year that I, the 11th of us, woke up. I also remember that all my companions changed their gathering plans for the next 2 weeks. That year all 11 of us stayed in the rainy New York, and yes it rained all two weeks nonstop. The others spent this time teaching me everything that I needed to know about the world now. Miya, Bastet, decided to take this time to get me a complete wardrobe that was in style with the fashions of today. Complete with watches, shoes, and about 3 formal suits for formal occasions. Since I decided to be a Cultural Consultant I didn't really need them as I know that I will wear business casual. It feels the most comfortable style to me, I never was one to be in anything but a more relaxed style. Even in ancient times my ware was more relaxed in terms of what others like Ra would wear. By that I mean I wore less gold and royal headdresses. I prefer more simple things with more feather-like decorations, as one of my symbols is two ostrich feathers.
It had been 70 years since that day, and only two more of us that were in slumber have woken up. The first to awaken was myself, Amun - the God of Thebes, and that was in 2000. When I awoke it took me 5 years to get well enough and accumulate to what the world is now. In the 5 years it took for me to get familiar with the current world. I was able to get familiar with all of the technology, brush up on the languages that were currently used in the world. Also ones that were now considered 'dead' languages. It turns out that the old Egyptian language that was spoken in the beginning of the Egyptian Kingdom was no longer even used. Thus it is a dead language now.
