54 He Who Drinks the Blood of God

Viscount Tena reached into the coffin and grabbed the gemstone peeking out. Everyone was attracted by it. This gemstone shone with a bright, golden light. Under the torches' light, it looked almost like a small piece of sunlight. What was even more stunning, however, was that there was some red substance rippling in the middle of the gemstone.

"What is this?" Tena wondered out loud.

Suddenly, a beam of light projected from the gemstone onto the wall. Everyone in the room jumped, their eyes following the beam of light. A film appeared on the wall. It was a scene of a plain under the sunset with a rushing river. A young boy knelt before a man wearing a mask and glowing with white light. The masked man gave a sword and a pouch to the boy.

Everyone in the room held their breath. They knew that they were watching a depiction of the moment the Golden King Ahenaten received a revelation from God one thousand years ago. The scene was right before their eyes.
