It whispers dark things. Tells me to feed." -Osiris, Egyptian Lord of the Underworld. Were the Egyptian gods fanciful imaginings of primitive people, or something more? Some believe that they once walked the earth as mortals, that they warred and loved just as any of their worshippers. This is their story, the tale of how Isis gained the power of shaping. How mighty Osiris died and lived again. How they discovered the fabled First Ark, a structure older than man. It is the tale of us all, the story that shaped our race from cave dwellers into the people we are today. Are these fanciful tales? Or long lost truth wrapped in myth? Only time knows. "It's like Clan of the Cave Bear ran right into The Walking Dead." - The author's totally biased friend.
