Anck-Su-Namun walked into her chamber, ignoring the priest guarding her door, she stand in the middle of her room. Someone, walked from behind the curtains, Imhotep, her secret lover whom is waiting for her.
Anck-Su-Namun hurried to his side and looked at him lovingly, he grab her and kiss her passionately, his hands roamed along her arms and shoulders, smudging the paint on its way.
Across Anck-Su-Namun chamber, is the royal chamber of Nefertiti. She was on the balcony alongside Ahmose as they witnessed their act of betrayal. Ahmose felt this betrayal deep in her bones, it hurts to know that her sister, whom she respect would go behind her back like that. Feeling the tears coming to her eyes, Nefertiti, consoled her friend to her best.
As Imhotep's priest was about to close the door, the two lovers heard a commotion outside the chamber, Imhotep hurried behind a statue. The Pharaoh burst into the room and look around angrily, 'What are you doing here?!' he asked as he looked at the priests.
The priest backed and bow sacred for their lives, the arrival of the Pharaoh was not expected. As he continued to make his way to the middle of the room, the priest close the door behind him and locked it. Anck-Su-Namun was standing next to a statue, one hand resting on the head of said statue, she was smirking sexily trying to distract the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh walked closer to her and observed her carefully and meticulously from head to toe, suddenly he noticed the paint that had been smudge on her shoulder.
'Who has touched you?!' Asked the Pharaoh in anger and betrayal. Suddenly Imhotep emerged from behind the statue, he walked behind the Pharaoh who noticed him. The Pharaoh looked between him and Anck-Su-Namun in betrayal, sadness and anger. Then Imhotep took out the Pharaoh's sword out of its sheath. 'Imhotep! My Priest!'.
From the balcony of the royal chamber, Nefertiti yelled for the guards of the Pharaoh. 'Medjai! My father, The Pharaoh needs you! He is in danger!' Nefertiti and Ahmose looked in shocked and sadness as Anck-Su-Namun and Imhotep stabbed The Pharaoh in the back and the abdomen. Nefertiti yelled in sadness and leaned to far off the balcony and fall off but Ahmose grab her hand in time and tried to pulled her up, but Nefertiti slipped and fall to her death. 'Nefertiti!!' Yelled Ahmose as she watched with horror.
The Medjai tried to broke down the door of Anck-Su-Namun chamber. Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namun looked at the door scared, 'Pharaoh's bodyguard!' said Imhotep. Anck-Su-Namun looked at Imhotep and said 'Go! Save yourself! Only you can resurrect me!' The priests dragged him out of the chambers just in time when the Medjai burst in to see the Pharaoh dead, and Anck-Su-Namun with a dagger in her hand.
'My body is no longer his temple!!' Imhotep looked in horror as Anck-Su-Namun plunged the dagger in her abdomen, killing her instantly. As Imhotep was led outside by his priests, his eyes met Ahmose. She sent him a glare full of sadness and betrayal, Imhotep felt shame filled his body and lower his stare.
To resurrect Anck-su-namun, Imhotep and his priests broke into her crypt and stole her body. They raced deep into the desert taking her corpse to Hamunaptra, city of the dead, Ancient burial site for the sons of Pharaohs and resting place for the wealth of Egypt. For his love, Imhotep dared the Gods anger by going deep into the city where he took the black book of the dead from its holy resting place. Anck-Su-Namun's soul had been sent to the dark underworld, her vital organs removed and placed in five sacred canopic jars.
As Imhotep begins the ritual, a black watery shadow rose up from a pool in front of him. The shadow begins to move over his dead lover body and lay in the body. Anck-Su-Namun gasp as, her body start to shake.
Anck-Su-Namun's soul had come back from the dead, but Pharaoh's body guards had followed Imhotep on the orders of the new Pharaoh, Ramses the First, and stopped him before the ritual could be completed.
Imhotep looked in horror as the black shadow rose from Anck-Su-Namun's body, and let out a loud screech before diving back into the pool.
Back to the palace, Imhotep has been placed in front of the Pharaoh Ramses the First. Next to the Pharaoh was Ahmose, she wore a black dress and was glaring at him. The Pharaoh look at him and say 'Imhotep you are guilty of murdering the late Pharaoh Seti the First and the one leading to the death of the princess Nefertiti. How do you plead?' Imhotep was shocked to find out that Nefertiti was dead, he was ashamed of himself and say 'Guilty.' He lifted his head to see Ahmose being cuddled by Jabari.
For his crimes, Imhotep's priests were condemned to be mummified alive. As for Imhotep he was condemned to endure the Hom Dai. The worst of all ancient curses, one so horrible that it had never before been bestowed. Locked away with flesh eating scarabs, he was to remain sealed inside his sarcophagus, the undead for all eternity. The Medjai would never allow him to be released for he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh eater with the strength of the ages, power over the sands and the glory of invincibility! Imhotep promises that when he came back he will fulfilled his promise to Anck-Su-Namun and he will take back what is his. Meaning Ahmose.
Till this day, the Medjai, still protect the City of the Dead, from the treasure hunters and those who put their noses where it don't belong.
