ch 5

Khnum was shocked as the impossible seemed to have happened right before his very eyes as the goddess that has haunted his dreams easily agreed to become to be in a secret relationship what woman in her right mind would agree to submit to that life when she could easily find another that would give her a better life with just her looks alone.

While Khnum was busy trying to piece together what just occurred I decided to move forward with the next phase of my plan as every god needs a spiritual leader so I smoothly took the female into my arms looking deep into it's eyes then and did the humans would call a French kiss as it was a simple way to transport my spores into her body groping the female body as I went to stimulate human and raising it's body temperature to allow my spores to mature faster in its body.

Khnum:[What are you doing?!]

Me:[Isn't it obvious I'm stimulating this female to raise it's body temperature to allow my spores to more easily take root in the female's body]

Khnum:[Why are you referring to her as it and female she is a person...wait..did you say spores take root?]

Me:[Yes, I did and if you are bothered by how I referr to the female as it I will just call Anat her, she to make you more comfortable in the future as it doesn't require any real effort]

Khnum:[Thank you... wait! What about the spores!? Why are you putting them into her in the first place!?]

Me:[Isn't it obvious I'm growing our congregation don't worry I'm not transferring myself into her I wasn't even sure when I merged with you that either of us would survive and my estimation of it's success was low but I was desperate at the time why would I take such a risk when you are already starting become a suitable vessel?]

Khnum:[You weren't sure if you would have killed me!?]

Me:[I had no choice it was either die from my injuries or gamble on merging with the indigenous life forms and honestly I'm surprised that my entire consciousness was able to be preserved with your feeble mind]

Khnum began ranting about some inconsequential nonsense but I ignored him as I had come to a critical juncture in the growth of my spores which I engineered to guide her thought process and gradually alter her biology she was to be my Hathor.

I want to take things slowly and much more carefully but I can not I lied to Khnum about being able to destroy him because it would make him more docile but although he has not realized it yet we are slowly becoming one I am able to mitigate it to an extent but I can't stop it which is why I go out of my way to guide his thoughts and shape his opinion to reflect my own so that by the time we finish merging we will be indistinguishable from one another and it will be him that is changed not me he will only be a collection of memories.

After our kiss Anat was somewhat dazed and unresponsive.

Me:"Anat, Anat!"

Anat:"Oh uh...sorry I was just so...forget it! What is it do you need?" as she became flustered

Me:"I said we need to return to the mansion I don't want you walking out here in the dark you could hurt yourself"

We walked back together hand in hand until we were close to the mansion and her light blushing face returned to a neutral expression as she led me to Amun's office where he was waiting for me where a servant began to pouring us coffee then he gestured for the servants to leave us.

Amun:"Well did you begin working on the idol of your patron god?"

Me:"I finished it already"

Amun:"Then it must have been something small it's a good first step let me see it"

Me:"I couldn't possibly carry back with me"

Amun:"Why not? Was it not good? It doesn't matter the gods will know your sincerity Khnum and will look on you with favor for your devotion to them"

Me:"It not that it's just too heavy to move by myself so I want to take you to it so you can see it for yourself"

Amun:"Then we will after breakfast tomorrow to see your creation for your patron god I'll even bring a few servants along to see if we should move it"

The following day Amun was good to his word and recruited a few of the more physically fit servants to see my idol and move it although he was excited to see it the rest only had eyes filled with doubt as I led them on the hike taking a break every now and then for the old man to catch his breath as he was much to proud to be carried or just quit eventually we reached the idol and everyone was immediately stunned by the sight before them unable to comprehend what was before their eyes while I waited patiently for them to take in the sight of the the garden and the idol.
