Start: The Vile Cinderella and the Pitiful Pharaoh Andre
A middle aged soldier kneeled down near Pharaoh Amasis II and shouted, "We found him! You over there! Go and bring the carrier over and help me bring the Pharaoh back to the Egyptian Palace!!!".
Andre slowly opened his eyes to look at the middle aged soldier and faintly asked, "Who... are.. you...? Ughh...", as he asked to the soldier, he proceeds to pass out once more.
An army of Egyptian soldiers carried Pharaoh Amasis II into the Egyptian Palace using a carrier, towards the Pharaoh's Chamber.
------------------------------------------------------------
In the Pharaoh's Chambers
As the soldiers placed his Majesty the King down, a middle aged young lady entered the chamber running, as she entered she shouted, "My son!!!", as she shouts she began to cry. She kneeled next to Pharaoh Amasis II while holding his hand, she says, "Ahhh.... My son! You look so pale, wu... wu...". She then looked at her personal servant called 'Eva' and commanded while crying, "Eva! What are you doing standing there! Go fetch the healer over, QUICKLY! wu... wu..."
Eva was startled for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, Queen Mother, I will go bring the healer over, right away!". Eva said, then she quickly dashed off to the Hall of Healers.
When Eva left, the Queen Mother, was left crying beside her son. In the mind of the middle aged young lady, she said to her heart, "My son, I hope you don't leave your dear mother. Just like how your father left me long ago to fed for myself. Wu... wu...".

In the Hall of Healers
A young pheasant boy called 'Pempem' was sitting on a stone slate while being treated by a healer called 'Jonathan'. The boy asks in a nervous tone, "Healer Jonathan, am I healed of my illness?". The boy asked while fumbling over his words while playing with his thumbs to overcome his nervousness.
Healer Jonathan checks Pempem's condition one last time and replied, "You are still unwell, however, if you swallow one mice for the next five days, you will be healed". Jonathan then points at the mice in the cage behind him. "Now it is time for the payment, alongside the mice, it will cost you 1500 grams of barley or just 500 grams of wheat." said Healer Jonathan.
Pheasant Pempem reluctantly replied, "Ummm... I have 500 grams of wheat as payment...". He then placed his payment on the table and left after receiving the mice for his treatment while saying, "Thank you...".
Healer Jonathan then places the 500 grams of wheat into a safe place behind the cupboards. He sat down and then said to himself, "I hope that young lass, gets better. Hah... Egypt is too poor that people rarely can afford to get treated...".
As he was about to continue his monologue, a voice came from the halls shouting, "Healer Jonathan! Healer Jonathan!". She stopped running to pause and said. "Ha... ha... ha..., You... You are... to go to Pharaoh Amasis II's chamber and treat him... as ordered by the Queen Tashereniset I." relayed by Eva to Healer Jonathan.
Seeing the urgency in Servant Eva's eyes, Healer Jonathan then said in a serious tone, "I understand", and he immediately stood up, got his things and said, "Lead the way!".
"Ha... Ha... Yes, please follow me, Healer Jonathan", indicated by the exhausted Eva as she leads the way to the Pharaoh's chambers.
Both Healer Jonathan and Eva quickly sets off to go to the Pharaoh's Chamber in a hurried state.

In A Black Unknown Void
A being that looks like a man walks up to Andre and shout, "Hey! Wake up! We don't have much time!". As the man proceeds to shout "Wake up" numerous times, he kept kicking Andre's unconscious body.
After numerous kicks from the being, Andre slowly wakes up. Andre rubs his eyes to see who was waking him up. He then asks, "Where... am I? Am I... dead?".
As Andre, tried to recall what was happening, the being kicked his stomach hard and replied, "Dead? Do you think you are dead now?".
Andre couldn't dodge the kick. "Ugh!", grunted Andre from receiving the hard kick from the unknown man.
As the man was about to kick Andre again. Andre quickly replied, "Ugh... Alright! Alright! I am awake!".
The man snorted and said, "It's about time you woke up, twerp". The man snorted while folding his hands at his chest and turning towards the side.
Andre asked in a cautious tone, "Who... are you supposed to be?". Andre tried to speak while trying to stand up.
The man snorted once more and said, "Hmph! To think the gods actually sent a twerp to lead my kingdom! They must have lost their marbles or something!"
"Well if you are not aware, I am Pharaoh Amasis the Second, the body you will be residing in. I died and let the gods themselves have someone take over my body to avoid the disastrous outcome of my Egyptian Dynasty. Currently it is the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty reigned by nonetheless myself. ", the man explained and continued to explain but instead of it being in a harsh tone, it changed to a more softer gentler tone.
"Your mission is quite simple. Save my dynasty and find my one true love. Then I shall let you reign over my dynasty as you wish." explained the man called, 'Pharaoh Amasis II'.
Andre slowly stood up and sarcastically replied to the man, "Why exactly am I the one to fix all your messed up shit? Like can't you do it yourself?"
The man slowly was disappearing and reprimanded to Andre, "Shut Up!!! We have too little time to explain all the things you need to know, just know one thing, you agreed to this. So do your job and let me rest as I am now dead and can't rule."
"But like---", as Andre tried to speak, the space around him starts to brighten into a blinding white light.
"Remember, you only have one life, don't die.", reminded by Pharaoh Amasis II before he disappeared into the white light.
"Goddam it! Why does this always happen to me???", Andre angrily said to himself as he cries internally.
------------------------------------------------------------
One day later, In the Pharaohs' Chamber
"Ugh... Where... Where am I? What is... this place? A palace made... of gold?" asks Andre to himself as he tries to look in front of him from his spot while lying down. Andre looks down at himself while still lying down, "And what am I wearing? Why is my chest exposed...", As Andre continues to question himself as he slowly falls into depression. Andre then slowly turned to his right, "And what...", he then slowly notices what the black thing was beside him, "Ahh!!! A fucking rat! Get that ugly thing out of my sight!", Andre screams at the top of his voice over a small rat.
"It seems to do the trick, my queen", said Healer Jonathan to Your Royal Majesty, Queen Mother Tashereniset I as he slowly put the rat back to the cage where it belongs.
Andre's heart was in chaos from the sight of that rat, he complained in his heart "Did the trick my ass, were you trying to scare me to death???". Yet on the surface he didn't show much emotion, except for that brief moment when he saw the rat.
Queen Mother Tashereniset I stood up, held Pharaoh Amasis II's hand and said in a concerned tone, "My goodness, My son, why were you lying unconscious on the floor outside the palace?". Her expression changed as stood up once more and roared out loud facing the exit, "Those pheasants did something to you didn't they! Quickly tell mother and I shall have their families punished on the spot! I must---". As the Queen Mother was about to rant and release her anger, she stopped as she felt her son slowly tugging onto her dress. "What is it my son? Do you want to defend those commoners once more? I know that we were once commoners but we have to defend ourselves somehow... So I cannot let this incident slide!", huffed the Queen Mother. Yet in her heart she said to herself "I... really don't want to punish those commoners, but my son and I only have one life. We must fend for our own safety to live longer!". Despite saying this in her heart, on the surface she still held dignity and had a straight face with a pinch of anger.
As Andre tugged on to the Queen Mother's dress, he asked, "Ummm... if you don't mind me asking... but who... are you exactly?". Andre said this sentence as politely as possible in order not to anger the middle aged young lady in front of him.
As soon as Andre said that line the whole room turned quiet in a instant. Everyone panicked inside their hearts, yet didn't show an inch of change on the surface, as to not further scare Queen Mother Tashereniset I.
In the Queen Mother's heart she asked to herself, "My son doesn't remember me??? That can't be??? Right??? Where did my son go??? Who is the person in front of me??? He looks like my son, wears the same clothes as my son, yet his not my son???", the Queen Mother tried not to panic on the surface, yet she couldn't maintain her image and asked with a shaky voice, "My son, do... don't you remember dear Queen Mother Tashereniset I? It... Its me the one who gave birth to you and raised you until now... Don't you remember me?".
Andre felt bad in his heart, to see this middle aged young lady crying beside him. He said in his heart, "I don't know who this old lady is, but I feel bad telling her the truth... But the truth is the truth I must say it or else I'll be lying to her." He then proceeds to say, "Sorry middle aged young lady, but I don't recall knowing who you are", Andre said in a concerned yet gentle tone to the Queen Mother.
As soon as the Queen Mother heard his reply, due to the sudden rush of emotions, she passed out in front of Pharaoh Amasis II. From the sight of the Queen Mother passing out the servants each shouted out, "Queen Mother!!!", "Your Majesty!!!", "My Lady!!!", or something similar. Yet one thing is similar to all their tones, it's that they all show concern towards the Queen Mother.
Healer Jonathan tried his best to ask, "Everyone, don't panic yet. Now then young man, could you tell us what exactly you remember?". Despite having a straight face on the surface, Healer Jonathan panicked in his heart, asking himself, "If this young man is not the king, then could it be that the prophecy has come? No, that can't be. It been 500 years since the prophecy was told. We have to confirm it."
Andre explained in a serious yet calm voice, "I came from another world, I am not allowed to say my true name, but please believe me I am here with a mission, a directive from Pharaoh Amasis II and the Whispering Willows. To find my true love and to rule this dynasty to prosperity.". Despite saying all that with a straight face, deep inside his heart he remains vigilant, his heart was filled with anxiety and fear, he then said in his heart, "I hope they believes me... or else I might face an execution for falsifying information. I don't want to die".
One of the Queen Mother's servant had a lit of joy in her eyes as she exclaimed, "He has arrived?!?! The prophecy has come true!!! Our destined king has arrived at last!".
The Prophet Adrian that was standing on the side replied in a loud voice, "Indeed! It seems he has arrived, quickly tell the everyone about this matter! There should be a celebration held for this occasion!!!"
The Queen Mother was still passed out while everyone around Andre was rejoicing, Andre was filled with concern, annoyance and a hint of sadness in his heart as he thought, "What is wrong with these people??? I just woke up man, your way too loud. And what about this middle aged young lady who passed out? Is no one going to care about her? Poor lady. And what the fuck am I wearing? Hu... hu... hu... Why did I accept this mission...". He then proceeds to cry internally about this dilemma.
