He comes in my dreams, and in those dreams, I know it's him. When I wake, I'm not as sure that it's him. Those are the good dreams, though.

In others, it's the dark god, his claws reaching for me to drag me into the shadows. It's so hard to wake up from those dreams. Every time, it's like more and more of me is slipping away. These nightmares are so much more frequent than the good dreams. And when I wake up, I remember them so vividly. They overshadow every other thought in my mind and won't leave me be.

Please, I ask him. I beg him, please save me..come to me again..

Akashora has been sheltered his entire life, and knows little about the outside world. Because of this, he is incredibly curious about the life of the "normal" people and often tries to slip out alone, although he is almost always caught. He knows nothing other than his life within the temple walls and is often lonely without others around his age. Because of this, he's always asking questions, especially during festivals and ceremonies, when he's around commoners. He's incredibly outgoing and has no boundaries when it comes to physical touches or prying into the lives of others.


- Is the only one in the temple capable of speaking directly to Ra
- Must remain celibate to continue to be able to speak to the god
- Believed by most to be a demi-god himself; the priests support the commoners believing this
- Doesn't understand riches and money, as he grew up surrounded by luxury
- Only knows what the priests have told him and what he's read in books
- Almost never outside of the temple alone
- Loves physical affection
- Longs to see Ra again


The child of a Pharaoh and one of his many concubines, when Akashora was born, he was immediately brought before the priests, due to the strange status of his gender. The priests of Ra offered to raise him as their own, as to them, hermaphrodites were far closer to the gods than a normal man or woman. His mother accepted, seeing this as advantageous for her child, and he was taken in by the temple. He grew up among only the best, as his temple was rich and well funded by the royal family.

As a young child, Hathor came to him, and, much to the surprise of the priests, the animal had no gender either. They took this as a sign from their god, but were not certain of what. It wasn't until a few years later that they finally understood. When Akashora had his first interaction with Ra, it was after fainting from the heat. When he woke, the confused boy told the priests what had happened, and they knew that they had found a special child indeed. One who could communicate with the gods.

He only directly interacted with the god twice more as he as growing up. He could talk to him through his prayers and meditation, but was unable to truly visit him, as he had the first time.


Hathor. A strange creature who appears to be part feline and part bird and is believed to be blessed by both Bast and Horus themselves. The animal has no gender and is incapable of reproducing, making it all the more valuable. Many have attempted to steal the rare being, but the temple and its guardians have kept Hathor protected. It and Akashora share a special bond and the animal is incredibly protective over him. Hathor is usually the size of a domesticated cat, but is capable of growing to the size of a lion with proportionally large wings. It's coloring is reminiscent of a silver Egyptian Mau in its feline body, and a peregrine falcon in its bird-like features. It has a distinct marking of a scarab beetle on its forehead.
