Chapter 6: Amun's 'Twilight' History

The team known as SG-1 did not return to the future. They hid the zero point module that they had stolen, in an ancient tomb that would one day become an archaeological dig along with Daniel Jackson's video camera that would indicate their evidence of an alternate timeline should anything go wrong.

Amun's newly transformed vampire slave, along with Armon's two transformed vampire friends left Egypt, and spread out to the four corners of the Earth where they spread the infection and converted others into vampires. Amun himself granted immortality to the occasional person who pleased him. 1000 years later about 1000 humans had been transformed but only 500 existed as sometimes the vampires fought amongst each other.

From time to time a Goa'uld would come to Egypt, and through force of ships and troops, drive Amun out of the throne; Anubis, Apophis, Isis, Osiris, even Ra and Hathor's son Heru'ur, etc. but every few decades to a century later, he would always take the throne back. A number of minor Goa'uld would serve Amun, among them was a Queen Goa'uld who would occasionally spawn a batch of larva symbiotes for his Jaffa, but one day she died, and he was then forced to get innovative; and he cloned symbiotes in larva form for his Jaffa.

In order to feed himself and Kebi, he decided that to prevent a depletion of human life in Egypt, he would salvage whatever unnecessary blood there was. He would harvest and store the blood of the, already dead, the terminally ill, and the most elderly.

They did have the occasional trouble from sadistic nomad vampires that passed through Egypt. One day while Amun and Kebi where enjoying some quality time together, when there was suddenly a commotion out in the main foyer of his palace. His first prime entered the room.

"My Lord we are under attack by a Vap'pir'ray. We can't hold him off!" said the Jaffa.

"Wait here! Your Queen and I will deal with this ourselves!" he walked out towards the commotion Kebi followed him like a shadow and never spoke a word.

Out in the main foyer there was the sound of zat blasts and staff blasts.

"Who dares enter my home and challenge their God!" said Amun.

The vampire in question was bored with vampire life, for everything was far too easy, and he always sought out a challenge to alleviate the monotony of immortality. He smiled at Amun and believing that this kind of a fight just might be worth his while.

"I am Telan. But that is neither here nor there, I challenge you to a battle." Said the vampire Telan.

"And for what crime have I committed against you that has warranted this unprovoked attack against me and my wife?" Asked Amun in an undignified tone of voice.

"Oh nothing, I just like to seek out a challenging fight." said Telan.

And without warning the vampire Telan attacked.

Amun instantly reacted with lightning fast speed but, this vampire was good he ducked underneath Amun arms, flipped up at lightning fast speed like a ninja, and high jump kicked both Amun and Kebi in their heads. Amun and Kebi recovered quickly and struck back, Kebi got her hands on Telan's arm, kicked him in the head, and flipped him over, and attempted to sever his arm from the shoulder, but he balanced out his weight and Kebi failed to sever the arm, he kicked her hard in the gut and she went flying. Amun got his hands on Telan's head and was about to rip it off, but Telan pulled himself out from under Amun's hands and got his hands on Amuns head. He put one hand against Amun's chin, the other hand on Amuns shoulder, and pulled each in the opposite direction. There was a tiny grinding metal sound as Amuns head was about to be severed from the neck. Amun was a good fighter and was not so easily beaten. He knocked Telan's hands away and kicked him hard in the gut, he went flying in Kebi's direction. She grabbed him by the neck and slammed him into the marble stone floor causing huge shards to shatter, crating a big hole in the floor. Amun and Kebi both grabbed Telan's arms on either side of him, but Telan was too good. Rather than his arms being severed, he pulled both of them closer together and their heads cracked against each other. He flipped back up, high jump kicked both Amun and Kebi in their heads, and knocked them aside. He grabbed Kebi's arm and was about to sever it when he was grabbed by his other side by Amun. Amun got his hands on Telan's head and was about to rip it off, but Amun's move was a little obvious. Telan quickly struck back, pulled his head out from under Amun's grip and nocked Amun aside, he went flying and slammed into a marble pillar of his palace and the pillar collapsed on top of him. Telan focuses attention on Kebi, they fought major kung fu style hard and fast toe to toe. Kebi was not so easily to be beaten as they matched each other move for move while they both blocked every one of each other's karate chops, punches, and kicks. But what Telan didn't know at that moment was that he couldn't gain the upper hand over Kebi now because she was no longer trying to beat him, she was deliberately aiming for a stalemate. Kebi deliberately aiming for a stalemate was all the distraction that was needed on Telan for Amun to quickly dig his way out of the rubble from the fallen pillar and get a good hard firm hold around Telan's neck, and without delay, with a sound of screeching of metal Telan's head was ripped off at the neck.

Amun,s red eyes looked into the red eyes of the vampires severed head.

"You challenged your God! And now you shall pay the price!" said Amun in a dark somber ominous voice. "Kebi finish the job!"

Then with the sound of screeching metal, Kebi ripped off the torso's arms and legs. They placed at the severed limbs on top of the torso. Amun held out his hand to one of the Jaffa. The Jaffa handed over his Zat'nic'tel weapon. Amun pointed the weapon at the pile of severed limbs and it opened with a sinister sounding metallic sound, and he fired four shots of blue electrical energy and the dismembered vampire was completely disintegrated.

Centuries passed. Life has king and queen of Egypt for Amun and Kebi went on very monotonously. But never boring. For their love for each other made every day happy and exciting for them.

Giza 200 BC

Amun and Kebi continued to have Goa'uld visitors through the Stargate. Others came and went by ship and usually ruled in other countries. He even received word that Ra, had returned to Earth from time to time, though never entered Egypt. He even got intelligence from one of his sources that Ra had placed his Queen Hathor, to sleep inside a sarcophagus in a Mayan temple on the continent across the Western Ocean.

Some of the System Lords, such as the Chinese Emperor Lord Yu, and Ba'al, came before him from time to time just for a friendly visit. But as time went by Earth became less and less interesting to the Goa'uld as there was no Naquadah present in the solar system, only an insignificant population of humans that were no longer thriving, due to a growing population of ravenous vampires and werewolves,. Though the werewolves could always win a fight with a vampire one on one, groups of vampires had been keeping the werewolf population at a moderate level. And then there were fewer and fewer visitors from outer space.

One day Kebi made a request of him. That was rare. She never made requests. She asked for a child, a beautiful vampire child that they could call their own. Amun was reluctant but allowed it. Kebi told the guards to bring a human girl of four years to the chamber. When the child was brought, she asked.

"What is your name, child?"

The girl responded. "Isinia, my Queen."

Kebi thought, 'She'll do.' and then she took he to the Sarcophagus, placed her inside, and injected a massive dose of vampire venom into her heart, and then the lid of the Sarcophagus closed. Forty-one minutes later, the girl busted the lid off. Amun and Kebi grabbed her and fed her. They were enchanted by her beauty. And she was their pet vampire child for the next 900 years.

Amun later received word that the System Lord,Egeria, felt that the Goa'uld should be good to the humans of this galaxy, and should stop masquerading as gods. He suggestions were not taken seriously and then she declared war against the System Lords, and then spawned many thousands of new symbiotes. Each new symbiote would have her thoughts and memories and became a terrorist group against the Goa'uld.

The only thing Amun feared was the occasional vampire coven that a grew too large. He could handle the Goa'uld, the System Lords, the Tok'ra, and even an army of Jaffa. It was a group of vampires of three or more that were a threat to him. He heard of one coven in a small city northwest of Egypt in Italy that had been gaining in power and influence and apparently their leader sought out vampires that had special powers. It was even believe that he himself possessed special powers. Amun himself tried to find a way to identify gifted humans. But humans who possessed powers had gifts that were so subtle they were virtually unnoticeable. He ran countless DNA tests of over one million people and never found anyone with a mutated brain segment. It was believed that the leader of the Italian coven search through the vampire population for gifted vampires as their gifts were a little more noticeable rather than the barely detectable, if detectable at all, gifted humans.

There was also a coven directly north of Egypt in the country of Romania, where a group of 12 dark, evil, power-hungry vampires ruled their country with an iron fist though it was rumored that they never told a lie, and they valued honor. It was also said that they possessed an army of physically stronger vampires, as opposed to gifted ones.

Year 459 A.D.

One day he received an intelligence report from one of his Goa'uld servants. The servant entered the room walked up to the throne were Amun was sitting. Kebi was sitting in an identical throne right beside him. The red eyed girl Isinia, was also standing there calmly. The servant's eyes glowed. He got down on one knee and bowed his head in respect.

"My Lord, we have a vampire visitor who wishes to speak to you on an urgent matter. Shall I admit him?"

"Send him in." replied Amun.

The servant walked out of the room. A few moments later the servant escorted into the throne room the visiting vampire. The visiting vampire was wearing a black cloak and hood. He walked with perfect poise and subtle grace in his steps, he walked barely faster than human speed. He walked up to the throne, he raised his hands, they were wearing black gloves, and he took off his hood. He looked up at Amun and smiled, stood straight, and held his head high.

"Kneel before your God!" the servant commanded, yelling at the top of his lungs at the visiting vampire, in a very angry voice.

"It is all right, that is quite enough." said Amun in a calm voice.

The visitor's clothing was perfect and flawless and ornate. He wore around his neck a medallion bearing the symbol of the Northwestern Italian coven.

"Amun. Pharaoh. King and God of Egypt." said the visitor who then got down on one knee, and bowing his head in respect. "I am but a humble servant, and messenger. I bring a message from my master, Aro, leader of the Volturi, and co-ruler of our beautiful, great city, Volterra. My orders from my master are to repeat his words, 'By the decree of the Volturi, on the grounds of convenience for vampires in matters of feeding on human blood and hunting humans, and as well as human rights to live in blissful ignorance. All vampires in the entire world will submit to the law that I will be strictly enforcing, that from this day forth no human may know that vampires exist. False superstitions, and rumors about us will be spread and humans can think of us as falling into their legends in the future, and may live their lives in blissful ignorance at the idea that we do not exist. Failure to comply, will result in the punishment of dismemberment and cremation.' These are my masters words. The message has been sent. You have been served. My master has commanded me to return to Volterra with your answer. What say you?"

Amun's mouth fell open in shock. This was ridiculous! This was preposterous! Who was this Aro, that he felt he could legislate to the entire vampire community such an outrageous proposal. But, at the same time he was torn. He did feel that the 'plague' of the Vap'pir'ray had grown out of control, just as Ra predicted; vampires hunted indiscriminately, freely feeding without hunting. All over the world, the birth rate was down, the death rate was up, and vampires population was increasing. The vampires just fed on babies and children mostly. At lease he himself only fed on the already-dead, terminally ill, and elderly. Maybe a suitable police force to control vampires was necessary now. But how to respond to this? If he had to make all of his human subjects believe that he was in fact just a man, a mortal human man, then it would mean a significant step down in lifestyle. Of course he doubted that the Volturi would object to his method of feeding and hunting. But he would have to no longer portray himself as a God. His subjects would never again be up to see him in the sun if he was to hide the truth from them about what he really was. And then there was how the rest of the vampire community saw him; if he said his answer was yes, he might look like a coward that he was afraid. But keeping his image by saying no then he would face their wrath. He had a few ships and a stockpile of Goa'uld weapons, but he knew he could not stand up to a small army of gifted vampires. Though as a vampire his brain could think and process information extremely fast, he needed a lot more time to think about this.

"Leave here, and return to the city of Volterra! And tell your master, that my answer is not 'no', but that, 'I see his proposal has merit, and that… I will think about it'." answered Amun.

The vampire smiled and nodded.

"That is fair. I will return to Volterra with your response." said the vampire.

The black cloaked Volturi vampire backed out of the room with his eyes at the floor in respect.

Five years later one of Amun's Goa'uld servants enters the room his eyes glowed, and he kneels in respect.

"My Lord, intelligence says that the war between the Volturi and Romanians rages on. The Volturi have the upper hand, and the Romanians forces are retreating on almost every front." said the Goa'uld servant.

"This was not entirely unexpected. Though I did expect the Romanians to put up a better fight than this. Thank you for your report, keep me informed!" said Amun.

59 years later Amun heard that the Romanians Empire had been completely overthrown, though a few of the emperors were now on the run.

Then one day, 'they', came! They unceremoniously entered his throne room. They walked with pageantry. They walked with flawless poise and grace, with magnified dignity and undeniable power. Aro, Caius, and Marcus. Even Amun's stoic dignity in that moment betrayed a trace of awe as he looked at them. Every Jaffa in the room readied their staff weapons and moved into aggressive posture.

"JAFFA! KREE!" Amun reprimanded, as the Jaffa had reacted wrongly. "Aro, Caius, and Marcus, of the Volturi. You honor me with your presence. Is there anything that I might do to accommodate you here in my humble home?" said Amun. He felt rather awkward he had not behaved this way since he served Ra.

Caius looked at Amun with a serious business-like face. Marcus looked as though he was completely bored, as though he didn't care about any of this. Aro smiled in a friendly way and stepped forward and extended his hand in greeting.

"Amun, I have not seen you in so long. You don't take many extended trips around the world. It would have been nice had you pass through Volterra every once in a while." said Aro in polite invitation.

"I take extended trips from time to time. But I do believe that you are aware that there is a vampire war going on, and I have things to do." said Amun.

"Yes I quite agree. And I do understand. I hope you will make some trips to Volterra every now and then in the future." Aro invited.

"Perhaps." replied Amun.

Aro looked around the throne room in polite interest.

"Might I say Amun, you have a lovely home." complemented Aro.

"Thank you, I built it using the advanced construction methods by the Goa'uld." explained Amun.

"Well, I must say it is very, very impressive." said Aro.

"Enough with the Smalltalk!" intervened Caius. "You know why we are here Amun! Do you agree to our terms on vampire law or not?"

Aro defended Amun in a polite tone.

"Now, now, brother. Show some respect for the God of Egypt." Aro turned back towards Amun. "I must apologize for my brother, he is a fine leader, but his approach in negotiations is more… aggressive. But as he just said, we were hoping you might give us your answer… only if you want to, I mean you don't have to give us your answer if you don't want to." Aro's tone of voice, though flawlessly polite, indicated a subtle threat. And Amun knew Aro would not take no, for an answer.

Amun closed his eyes, took in a deep breath, prayed for patience, and focused all of his thoughts on his concern for the out-of-control vampires that fed freely, indiscriminately, without restraint.

"Aro. Your brother's question is fair. I believe that your proposal has merit, and I have been thinking about it. And I have decided… that I will abide by your laws." said Amun.

"Oh how wonderful!" exclaimed Aro. "I so feel that this will work out for the best for everyone." said Aro in an enthusiastic tone. But then Aro looked at Amun with a much more serious face. "Although I am afraid to say that you are going to have to prove it."

Aro extended his hand in greeting one more time. Amun had heard that Aro had possessed the ability to read people's minds of course he had no way of actually knowing this, he had only Aro's word that he had this stood up while holding Kebi's hand, and with dignified grace walked down the steps of the raised platform. The child vampire Isinia, followed close behind. Amun reluctantly took Aro's hand.

Aro had the look of the utmost concentration on his face. Aro's mind flooded with 3500 years worth of sharp clear vampire memories, thousands of romantic moments with Kebi, being a benevolent king bestowing favors on those who pleased him, and being a merciless God punishing those who defied him. Aro also saw the less than perfectly clear but still sharp Goa'uld memories from when Amun was a symbiote. Countless thousands of horrible evil atrocities that Amun had committed against the people as a Goa'uld. Technical knowledge on how to build ships, and data crystals, alien weaponry, countless other such fascinating Technology, as well as star charts, over a thousand Stargate addresses, and the most interestingly, the formula on how to make vampire venom in a lab.

Aro held Amun's hand for 10 long slow minutes, when he finally released Amun's hand. He looked Amun right in the eyes with awe.

"Oh my God! The knowledge you possess!" Aro turned back towards his brothers. "Come my brothers. We are done here. His answer is, yes."

"Break the law Amun, and you die. And another thing. Send all of your Goa'uld and Jaffa off of this planet through the Stargate, and then bury the Stargate!" said Caius.

The Volturi left the chamber, and Amun was left to deal with the matter.

Amun did as Caius commended he released all of his Goa'uld servants and Jaffa from his service. He sent them all through the Stargate to a suitable Goa'uld world. And then he buried the Stargate, he then spread word to all of his human subjects that the royal dynasty of Egypt will of ended permanently and he selected some of his human subjects with good leadership skills to run the government of the country. Amun then disappeared from public view until everyone who recognized his face died off. He hid all of his ships and caches of weapons in deep underground hangers that would most likely never be opened again. He and Kebi lived in one of his underground safe houses that no human would ever find. There was no more collecting and storing blood, he and Kebi hunted like every other vampire.

Year 750 A.D.

Centuries passed. When a member of the Volturi guard came, one day. He said that he brought word from his master that Immortal children are now illegal because they cannot enforce the law, and anyone in possession of one will die. The guard member said that he is to return to Volterra with the memories that the child Isinia had been destroyed.

If Kebi could cry, she would have. Amun understood and did not want a fight with the Volturi.

"Kebi my love. Stay here I will take care of this." said Amun.

He took Isinia outside, with the Guard Member. He was just glad that he had a painless way of killing her. With the Guard Member as the witness, and with the non-existent tears in his eyes, though that is the sadness that he felt, he kissed her on the forehead, he raised his Zat'nic'tel weapon, and it opened with a sinister metallic sound, and he quickly fired four shots, and Isinia was vaporized.

"Return to your master, and tell him that the deed is done." said Amun.

The Guard Member left.

Though Amun liked that the feeding habits of the vampire community had been tempered, he felt a bitter resentment towards Aro for his new law forcing him to give up his lifestyle. He was a God, he had worshipers, Jaffa and Goa'uld alike served him, it was his divine right to be loved by the people. He had the idea to try and increase the size of his coven with gifted vampires. In essence taking a page out of Aro's book. Though of course he had been searching for gifted humans for very long time, they were very hard to find. Aro apparently was on a roll, he had heard that 200 years earlier approximately, Aro had added two new young vampires to his coven who apparently had gifts that far surpassed anyone else's. Amun heard through 'word of mouth', that the Romanian emperors attacked Volterra with a hundred vampires in the year 810 A.D. And lost. The new Volturi guard member Alec, according to the rumor, had completely neutralized the entire invading army, and the Volturi ripped the invading army to pieces, without a battle. The remaining Romanian emperors numbered only two, and the Volturi were forever feared and respected from that day forward.

The year was 1007 AD. He and Kebi were traveling and they were passing through Greece. As they were looking at the sites while passing through a small city, there was a young boy, he was around the age of 23. Apparently he was a bounty hunter by profession and a very skilled hunter, officially though he was working as a technical advisor for the country's local militia. As Amun passed by not interested in what any of the people had to say, he and Kebi were just putting on the mandatory human façade which vampire law required of them, his interest was caught by his vampire hearing; a group of men were whispering about the boy in question whose name they mentioned was Demetri. Demetri could follow someone to the ends of the earth, no one had ever been able to hide from him, ever. One of the men whispered to the other man a story about Demetri's exploits, when he was just a small child, anyone who tried to hide from him was always found, he always knew exactly where they were, even if he didn't know exactly where they were, it was unexplainable. As he grew up he became a skilled fighter whenever his family needed meat he would go off to the woods and he would always be able to find the closest dear and it could never escape him. When he became an advisor to the local militia, any time there was a wanted man or a fugitive, Demetri found them within a very short time. Amun shrugged his shoulders and decided, no, it's nothing, it's a coincidence, he's just really good at what he does, unless talents come in many forms, it could be a one in a million chance of a mutated segment of the brain that allows him to find people, perhaps telepathic in nature, though not strictly mind reading. Amun and Kebi had taken a seat in the pub while they were listening to men. Amun stood up and walked over to the men.

"Excuse me gentlemen?" Amun asked for their attention. "But would you be able to tell me where I can find the bounty Hunter, Demetri? I require his assistance in finding someone and I am willing to pay him generously."

The man asked him, "who wants to know?"

Amun used some subtle intimidation and the men told him where Demetri could be found.

They went another town over to the General's police barracks. When they got there, Amun found the young talented Hunter. Amun inquired of the Hunter and offered him an opportunity. Amun told Demetri that he would like to employ his services for a price that no one would ever be able to beat; speed, strength, and make his already strong gift of tracking a thousand times better. Demetri was interested. Amun then asked Demetri to follow him to a more private place.

Amun took Demetri out into the woods where he then said, "Your payment!" grabbed him and sank his teeth into Demetri's neck.

Three days later after the painful fiery transformation Demetri felt the thirst. Amun fed him a few humans, not enough to completely satiate his thirst, but just enough to take the edge off. Amun explained to Demetri who he is, his wife Kebi, what he Demetri now was, what he had become, and what he was now capable of. The super senses, the speed, the strength. Demetri inquired why Amun had done this to him?

Amun said "I wanted you to join my coven because I felt that you were the best. I saw potential in you that I did not see in just anybody else."

Demetri was flattered and he thought that he understood.

100 years passed. And Amun had spoiled Demetri rotten. And Demetri loved Amun like a father. They lived in the underground Egyptian Temple as they always had. But then one day out of the blue, Aro made a surprise visit. Aro just walked right in as though he owned the place. He was accompanied by 4 members of the guard including a woman named Chelsea.

"Amun my dear friend!" said Aro in an overly excited voice as though he and Amun were the best of friends that visited each other all the time, and always so excited to see each other.

"Aro, what a pleasant surprise. You honor me with your visit." said Amun.

"Oh, you flatter me." said Aro "it's just that it's been so long. I was hoping that you and I could catch up, talk a little."

"Well, I am always happy to entertain." said Amun.

Conversation went on for a while Aro stayed for a few days and even hunted with the family.

And then, just when Aro was about to leave, he turned to Demetri.

"Young Demetri, I was hoping perhaps I might persuade you to come and visit our beautiful city of Volterra for a little while?" Aro offered.

At the presence of the female guard member Chelsea, an odd look came over Demetri's face.

"Yes, I would like to." responded Demetri with enthusiasm.

Amun was curious of this. Why would his talented son just up and accept the invitation like that? Of course Demetri was free to come and go as he pleased, or at least that was the pretense Amun portrayed. If Amun's pretense had been portrayed as anything different, then Demetri might have felt resentment and not have stayed so willingly.

A few years later Demetri sent word that he was staying in Volterra. Amun was furious. He didn't know how Aro was doing this, but somehow he had brainwashed Demetri into doing this.

In the year 1344 Amun was going about his business when suddenly his ring transporter activated. When he went to the other room he saw some strangely dressed people, wearing white capes, white hoods, body armor, and utility belts. Who were standing on the ring transporter.

"Who goes there, and who dares to enter my home?" said Amun.

"Our most sincere apologies my kind sir, we activated this ring transporter, we did not know where it would lead us exactly, we just curious. We did not mean to enter your home uninvited." said a female individual.

"Obviously you are familiar with Goa'uld technology. Tell me who are you?" asked Amun.

"We are the Espers of Esper Mansion. As we said, we locked onto the signal of this ring transporter and we came here. If you would like, we will leave." said the woman.

Amun was rather curious about these strange humans that are so knowledgeable on technologies such as ring transporters and other such things.

They talked for many hours, they exchanged some knowledge. They told him what an honor it was to meet him, and that they offered him greetings from their Leader The Lutz of Esper Mansion. They gave Amun the ring transporter coordinates for Esper Mansion and invited him to stop by any time, and then they left.

Time passed. Little happened, and then in the year 1791 a nomad passed through the area. Amun extended the courtesy of saying hello. The Nomad was tall with blonde hair, and yellow eyes. All vampires eyes were either black or red, he had never seen a vampire with yellow eyes before?

"Hello nomad. Welcome to Giza. My name is Amun, and this is my wife Kebi."

"I am pleased to meet you, my name is Carlisle Cullen."

The two of them sat down and talked for many hours, Carlisle was fascinated that Amun was reaching his 5000'th year.

"Pardon me for asking Carlisle, but how is it that your eyes are yellow?" asked Amun.

"Well, I had determined that eye color is determined by diet, when a vampire drinks human blood their eyes turn red. When a vampire drinks animal blood, their eyes will turn yellow."

Amun was fascinated. He went over all of his notes on vampire study for the past five thousand years, and he realized that in five thousand years he had made a serious flaw in his research. Animal blood. He always knew that it was fully compatible for sustaining a vampire, but he had never experimented with it, and that's because he never felt it was necessary, he didn't think it would make a difference, other than the fact that I didn't smell as good as human blood.

What Amun was also fascinated by was Carlisle's civility, kindness to both vampires and humans, unwavering honesty, and the fact that he was just so good and moral for a vampire. They both quickly became very good friends. Carlisle explained that he had been traveling the world, and studying the sciences, and arts by night, after he had been changed by accident only 150 years earlier by a savage sewer dwelling vampire that he had led a religious mob to hunt down and kill. He had recently just came from Volterra after he had become very good friends with Aro. Carlisle said that he had spent only 20 years in the Tower of Volterra, until he decided to move on. Amun could immediately see Aro's fascination in Carlisle but Carlisle was not physically stronger or gifted so Aro's fascination in Carlisle would have been a passing diversion, he would have had no interest in Carlisle becoming a member of the guard.

Carlisle moved on from Egypt. He returned to Egypt 10 years later, in the year 1801 for a visit, a casual social call. And then again moved on. Carlisle had apparently been studying medicine and was hoping to treat humans as a Medical doctor. Amun wondered why? What vampire would want to spend so much extra time around blood to try and save people's lives, though that was neither here nor there.

In 1809 Amun and Kebi had been passing through an Egyptian town of Cairo, where on a man was putting on a street magic show by use of his nephew, and before everyone's eyes, the boy was magically manipulating fire. It was amazing. Everyone 'oooo'ed' and 'awe'd'. Amun became curious. At vampire speed he went up and stabbed the boy in the arm with a syringe when no one was looking, drew a small sample of blood, and zipped away before anyone could see him, the boy looked around to see what happened, he thought he'd been stung by a bee. Amun went back to his lab where he examined the blood sample under his Goa'uld scanner. It took some time from to find what you was looking for, but eventually he noticed something with in the DNA, and then he saw it. A genetic mutation. The scientific and technical details were very complicated but ultimately the end result is that the genetic mutation within the boy's DNA would enable him telekinetic abilities. This was Amun's biggest find in gifted humans in five thousand years, he had to seize the opportunity. The next day he went back to town and found the boy. Amun explained to the boy all about the Volturi, and that they would come for him and they would try and steal him and utilize his powers as their own. He then took the boy against his will back to the underground Temple where he bit him.

After the painful three day transformation, Amun brought some humans into the temple and fed the boy. Once the boy's thirst was satiated, conversation began and they started asking questions to each other. The boy said his name was Benjamin. Benjamin understood the importance of vampire law and keeping his gift a secret from the Volturi. Amun asked for multiple demonstrations of Benjamin's power; he originally had only been able to control fire, but as a vampire that power extended to rock, dirt, and metal. Then wind and air. Then water.

Amun kept Benjamin distracted with blood for the first twelve months, but after he overcame the newborn madness he directed his attention back to human memories. He felt Amun was a good man and loved him like a father, but he kept remembering a twelve year old girl by the name of Tia, to whom that he loved and had hoped to marry when she was grown.

Four years after Benjamin's transformation, he had not been outside of the temple once. Amun and Kebi took turns watching him. Amun was afraid Aro would find out about him. Around this time, the girl Tia would have been sixteen years old. Benjamin then approached Amun.

"Father, I was hoping you might grant me a reasonable request?" said Benjamin.

Clever choice of words, thought Amun, his negative answer would make him seem unreasonable.

"Tell me." said Amun.

"There is a human girl I wish to go find. I fear for her. This is important to me." said Benjamin.

"No, you can not leave. We can not risk you being seen. The Volturi will kill Kebi and me if they knew that we had you. Plus we have already discussed this; your human life is over, forget the mortals from your past. We will not discuss this matter again, and that is final!" said Amun.

But unbeknownst to Amun, Benjamin never let the matter go. He thought about it all the time.

One year later. Amun went out to hunt while Kebi watched Benjamin. He found some sick and old who would not be missed, satisfied his thirst and brought them home for Benjamin. When he got home, Kebi was there waiting for him, after having dug herself out of what appeared to be a cave in. She was on her knees before him in respect.

"A thousand apologies my love. Benjamin has left us against your wishes, and I could not stop him. You entrusted me with a simple task, and due to my incompetence, I have failed you. I will accept the punishment of death, which I deserve." Kebi never did let go of the old servant ways, she was still perfectly polite, and flawlessly humble.

Amun paused in shock to take it all in, and then he growled in rage. To vent his excess energy he punched through a brick wall.

"What happened?" he demanded.

"He said to me that he was sorry, but that he just could not live like this anymore, and that he had to find his own way in this world, and his own place in which he feels he belongs. He then used his power to manipulate earth to cause a cave in, briefly trapping me. I dug my way out without difficulty, but it took me awhile. When I got out he was gone." Kebi explained.

He could have followed Benjamin's scent, but it wouldn't do any good if Benjamin didn't want to be there. Plus, how could he stand up to Benjamin's powers in a fight? After everything he did, finding Benjamin, keeping him hidden, all the scheming, all the lies. What a waste. This will be just like Demetri. He then walked off to be alone.

"My love." Kebi tried to get his attention.

Amun turned back in her direction.

"Aren't you going to kill me?"

Of course Amun wouldn't. No matter how angry he gets, he never considers it for a second. Her continued behavior as a humble slave girl was sealed in her personality with her vampire transformation. What she did was more for her own benefit.

"Not yet!" Amun responded in a resentful tone.

Seven days later. Benjamin returned right out of the blue, towing with him a female newborn.

"Benjamin! After everything that I have done for you, you defy me, you could've got caught, you could have been seen, you blatantly lied to me, you disobeyed me after everything I have done for you. I gave you in mortality, why did you leave." said Amun, in a tone that indicated that he didn't know what he would do with such a disobedient boy.

Amun shouted his accusations and expression of anger at Benjamin for quite a while. Benjamin waited patiently and allowed Amun to talk himself out. When Amun was finished talking Benjamin gave his explanation.

"Father I am NOT sorry for what I did. I did what I did because I believe that I am a free man, that I can do whatever I want. I love you like a father, but this was important to me, and I had to do this, this is Tia, she is now my mate. At first I thought of just running away with her, but once I had her, I realized something, something has happened to me, the very thing that you had wanted, it required me to chase down part of my human life, but now that I have and it's done and over with, I no longer have any connection to my human life. And now I realize that I would like to continue to be part of your coven and stay here with you… granted that Tia can stay with us."

Amun stopped and thought for a second. And he considered the logic of Benjamin's words. Benjamin no longer had any connection to his human life and now it seems that he was fully devoted to him. Amun saw that this might just have been worth it. And all in all, his gift was not discovered by any other vampires, so no harm done. And life in the underground Temple of Amun went on peacefully and quietly.

In 1928 there were some archaeological digs that we're going on here in there it seems that humans everywhere we're digging up or ancient artifacts and exploring the Egyptian tombs. Amun allowed this as to do anything to stop them or interfere might cause a public spectacle and expose the secret. And then there was one particular archeological dig that year, a group of excavators and archaeologist dug up the Stargate. some of the scholars and other experts ancient writings determined that the surrounding artifacts used to belong to Ra. Some years later the dialing device was stolen by the Nazis and the Stargate was loaded onto a boat and taken to the Americas. Amun never saw the Stargate again. However, Amun was watching Benjamin practice with his power. When he received a message from his lab. He went to his lab and realized that it was an alert to a small homing device that he had placed on the Stargate fifteen hundred years earlier. It was telling him that the Stargate had been activated, while on the boat carrying it to the States, and that it was an incoming wormhole. He didn't know what to make of it.

Year 1945

Amun received a message from his lab. It was telling him that the stargate had been activated, only this time it was an outgoing wormhole. 'What?' Amun thought. 'How could they figure out how it works? Did they dial randomly and get lucky or something?'

Amun concluded that he would never know.

Year 1969

Amun received a message from his lab. It was telling him that the Stargate had been activated again, and it was another outgoing wormhole. But he did not bother himself with it.

In 1971, Carlisle made another visit. Only this time he brought six other vampires with him. Benjamin and Tia were out at the time and said they wouldn't be back for several days. This time with Carlisle's visit, Amun was intrigued at the size of the coven, a coven of seven; most vampire covens can't live with so many because there's too much conflict at feeding time between a larger group, with exceptions of the Romanians and the Volturi. Even his own coven of four was considered abnormally large. But with a coven of 7, the strength of a coven depends on numbers, this would know make Carlisle's coven the strongest coven in the world, except for the Volturi.

"Amun, I'm sorry its been so long since I've come to visit." said Carlisle.

"No need to apologize Carlisle, I can only imagine that you must be quite busy." said Amun.

"Not much has changed here since I've last visited. But we were just passing through the area and we thought we'd stop by. I want you to meet my wife Esme." said Carlisle.

"She is very beautiful Carlisle, you are lucky man." said Amun.

"Thank you Amun." said Carlisle.

Carlisle directed Amun to a tall boy with reddish brown hair.

"This is my son Edward. He also has a gift to read minds." said Carlisle.

Amun raised his eyebrow in interest, careful to focus his thinking on other things. Carlisle directed Amun to a tall blonde boy and a girl with short brown hair.

'Oh, my goodness! What happened to him?' Amun thought as he looked at the blond boy. His face and neck were covered in vampire teeth marks.

"He has fought and killed over a thousand blood thirsty newborns." Edward answered Amun's unspoken question.

'Ah,' thought Amun. It took him maybe one second to put two and two together. 'The North American Vampires Southern Wars.' he thought. Amun had not been ignorant of what happened across the sea, a continent over, that started more than a century ago. It was disgusting; savage, uncivilized nomads, so greedy for all the blood they could drink every single day, that they demanded to be the only vampire with in a densely populated area, and then fought without discretion by creating more vampires even more savage and out of control than themselves.

"My son Jasper, and his wife, Alice. Jasper can both manipulate and feel other people's emotions. And Alice can see the future." said Carlisle.

Amun felt a wave of calm and peace settle over himself as Jasper looked at him. Amun was even more intrigued. Alice's brain must have a mutated sectional lobe, near the central cortex when she was born as a human, by a one in ten billion random chance. And Jasper's body must emit a form of delta radiation that manipulates the chemical hormone production of the brain. Amun had studied the science behind thousands of possible gifts for the last 5000 years.

"And this is my son Emmett and his wife Rosalie." said Carlisle.

Amun was further impressed with Carlisle's coven, the one called Emmett was huge, he rarely saw a vampire that would be as strong as him. And the blond girl was as beautiful as Kebi (though, by Amun's opinion, just barely).

The Cullen's stayed for one day and were going to move on.

"Carlisle, I didn't know that collecting gifted vampires was an ambition of yours." said Amun in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"It's not." said Carlisle, amused. "When I created Edward, I didn't know he had a gift. You could say I stumbled across him by accident. And as for Alice and Jasper, they found me."

"Be careful Carlisle, if Aro could see you now, he might try to steal them from you." warned Amun.

Carlisle smiled.

"Thank you Amun, but Aro and I are very good friends and I don't think anything will be wrong. When I left Volterra 200 years ago, he wished me well and he and I departed on good terms." said Carlisle.

'So naive', thought Amun. But he wished him good luck and they left.

January 1981

Ten years later Amun received a visit from a particularly unexpected guest.

A man walked into Amun's underground Temple. He was caucasian with brown hair, a goatee, and he wore a Goa'uld hand device on his left hand.

"Lord Amun, it's been a very long time has it not?" said the visitor as his eyes glowed, and he spoke in the loud and distorted voice of the Goa'uld.

"Lord Setesh, more than 800 years now if I recall, and of course you had a different host back then. But I could recognize you anywhere." said Amun.

"I am asking for a favor." said Setesh.

Amun smiled with amusement.

"I am sorry Lord Setesh. But I can not help you." said Amun, indicating that whatever it was, he didn't want to get involved.

"Please, I'm in trouble. I am a fugitive from three organizations, everyone is after me, the Volturi, the Tok'ra, the System Lords. I just killed an Ashrak, and barely survived the fight. My only protection now is this new host. You're my only hope." said Setesh.

Amun thought, the fact that Setesh was a fugitive, was the very reason he didn't want to get involved.

"I need to use the Chappa'ai." said Setesh.

"It was dug up 53 years ago. It is now in the hands of the United States Air Force." said Amun.

"Can you give me a ship?" said Setesh.

"No I prefer to keep all of my ships to myself. Sorry." said Amun.

"Please Amun, I will do anything, I need something!" said Setesh.

Amun thought that he could then do something small for his old friend, and walked over to a cabinet. He pulled out a bundle of cash, some documents, and a set of keys.

"I have set up several hundred safe houses around the world, should I ever need them. You can have a mansion that I own outside of Seattle. Underneath the house is a set of catacombs, with a ring transporter, and the cache of weapons. But I will ask you to keep a low profile. I thank you for your visit." said Amun.

"Thank You Amun. I am in your debt." said Setesh.

"Darn right you are." said Amun.

Setesh left quickly, and Amun never saw him again.

April 2006

Amun was watching the news. And there was talks of mass murders and disappearances all different kinds of people taking place only at night in Seattle. He immediately recognized it as a newborn army. The only thing is, why Seattle? He kept an eye on most vampire covens around the world, he was aware of an Alaskan coven of three succubus, an Irish coven led by a very beautiful vampire. He was also aware that Carlisle had recently settled in the Olympic Peninsula. But on the whole, he did not know what was going on.

August 2006

Author's Note: The timeline in this fan fic; I'm making it so that the timeline of the original Stargate movie happened the timeline of, 'Breaking Dawn'.

Amun was watching Benjamin practice with his power. When he received a message from his lab. he went to his lab and realized that it was an alert to a small homing device that he had placed on the Stargate fifteen hundred years earlier. It was telling him that the Stargate had been activated again. Another outgoing wormhole. And then a few more. He was curious. The homing device was telling him that the Stargate was at the bottom of an old missile silo, inside a mountain, in Colorado. The next couple of weeks the Stargate had a few more activations that were outgoing and incoming.

September 2006

Amun was working on an experiment in his lab, when he received a message. He heard a familiar beeping sound and he went over to a specially made protective box. He opened it and pulled out a silver ball the size of a basketball. It was a Goa'uld long range communication device. The face of a minor Goa'uld who was in the service of Apophis, but was loyal to Amun, appeared.

"Lord Amun, this signal is secure. I just thought that you would like to know, Ra is dead."

"What? How did this happen?" said Amun.

"There was an uprising on Abydos. From what our Intel says, his Ha'tak was in orbit when a small strike force of trained humans from an alien planet ringed and nuclear warhead aboard his ship… oh, and he was on the ship by the way."

Amun let it sink in, and then he burst out laughing.

"Oh, Ra. That fool. Thought he was so high and mighty. But I tell you, he was nothing more than a child. Thank you for telling me. Keep me informed." said Amun.

December 2006

Amun, Kebi, Tia, and Benjamin we're all sitting together in the family room going about separate pursuits. When suddenly Carlisle and Esme showed up.

"Carlisle, you come to visit me so much. Is there anything that I might do for you?" said Amun.

"I'm afraid that I'm not here on a strictly social call this time. I need your help, Amun, my family has been accused of a serious crime by the Volturi. Just the thing is that, we are innocent, and we are going to present evidence to the Volturi to prove it, but we need witnesses to stand beside us."

Amun was shocked that Carlisle would ask such a thing. Amun did not want to get involved with anything from anyone who is under accusation from the Volturi.

"I am sorry Carlisle, but I cannot help you." said Amun. "I warned you Carlisle, that having so many gifted vampires in your family would attract the Volturi's attention, and now they have you on some trumped-up charge."

"You are mistaken Amun, the charge that they have against us is not trumped up. They believe the charges against us is valid and legitimate. Though you are right that I'm sure Aro will use it as an excuse to acquire my gifted family members. I need you to go to my house in the town of Forks, Washington. I wouldn't ask, but Alice had a vision of all of us. She said that if you follow our instructions from her future visions then there's a good chance for everything to go well. I'm asking this of you Amun, please." pleaded Carlisle.

Before Amun could say anything, Benjamin step in front of Carlisle.

"Carlisle Cullen. My name is Benjamin. Amun has told me all about you. I will go to your house in the town of Forks, Washington, and I will witness for you." said Benjamin.

"No Benjamin, I forbid it!" said Amun.

"I love you Amun, but I will do as I please. I declared independence when I went and got Tia, now I will declare my independence again, I'm tired of running from the Volturi. If Aro is to know that I exist, then I wish to be free, and if he tries to steal me to add me to his collection, then I will use my power to drive him off. Even though I have Tia, I'm getting a little bored with vampire life, and I want to see what is going on with this witness stuff." said Benjamin.

Amun then decided that he had might as well go along with Benjamin. If Benjamin's existence was going to come out, he had might as well be there to keep it under control.

"Thank You Benjamin, I am in your debt, go straight to Forks. But steer clear of the Quileute Indian Reservation, it is a no vampire zone, and out of courtesy for my family's anonymity, please do not hunt with in the state of Washington." said Carlisle.

Carlisle said goodbye, and he and Esme left.
