CHAPTER 1

"Theo, can you please calm down?"

"Calm down? He was flirting with you right in front of my eyes, Kate" sigh.

Kate and her fiance are having a conversation about how one of the museum guides was talking to her.

Theo believes that the man was flirting with her, while Kate is trying to convince him otherwise.

"He has done nothing wrong, you just took it the wrong way, darling" she try to explain slowly to ease his anger.

"He wanted your number, did he not?!"

"And I didn't give my number"

"Huh, so you admit that he had his eyes on you" Kate let out a frustrated groan.

Even though Theo might be the sweetest person in the whole world, yet his jealousy is overbearing sometimes.

"Don't twist my words, Theo" she warn, causing him to huff.

"You know that I only love you, right?" her features softened when his light brown eyes meet her blue eyes.

"And I love you too, and we shall get married soon once you get your degree in history studies"

A big smile appears on her face, as she place her hands within his warm ones.

The most thing she love about her fiance is how he respects her potential to study history, especially Egyptian history.

"So, tell me, when was the Battle of Kadesh?" She quickly answer.

"1274 BC, it was between Rameses II and Muwatalli II, and it ended with the first peace treaty to ever be made in ancient history" Theo chuckles.

"That was more than I ask for, but here is another question, how long did Ahmose I reign?"

"Twenty-five years… can you please stop asking those easy questions" He rolls his eyes playfully to her.

"I'm sorry, but I was asking about what we took back in school" she giggle.

"Well, do you want me to tell you all the details about Ramses the Second's reign" his lips twitches upwards into a sweet smile.

"Of course, after all, you are the best at telling historical stories."

 ----------

After returning home, Kate have decided to take a shower and have dinner afterward.

Kate's parents were on a vacation to Sharm El-sheikh, leaving her alone at home.

It wasn't that lonely, however, she feel like she is not alone for some reason.

And that paranoid feeling heightens when the doorbell sound echoes through the house.

She stand up and take steady footsteps towards the door, not opening before looking through the camera surveillance's screen laying on the wall near the door.

Her eyebrows furrow when she see nobody but a package in front of the door.

Unlocking the door, she take the package before shutting it again.

"Who in the world left this? Looks like a fancy package though"

Kate didn't waste a second in tearing it open, already curious about what is inside it.

A golden dagger is what she found inside, along with a note written neatly.

Every time you stab yourself with this dagger, you will be transferred to a different timeline.

Use wisely.

A chuckle escapes her lips after she finish reading the note.

"What is this joke… but the dagger looks expensive"

Kate stare down at the golden dagger with an amazing look on her face.

If someone was joking with me, why would they give me an expensive dagger?

This doesn't make sense at all.

Kate get pulled out of her thoughts when the hand she is holding the dagger with, starts moving on its own.

When she try to stop her hand, it only pulls harder.

"What the-"

Before she could even finish, she stab herself in the stomach deeply.

With that, her vision turned black within seconds.

 ----------

The loud piercing noises are what woke her up, and oh how she wish she didn't wake up.

Because the first thing she see is people frightening, and arrows flying around.

You feel like your are in your history book, looking at a picture that shows the ancient Egyptians fighting their enemies.

But, everything is a living reality in front of her eyes.

'This dagger actually works!'

Gazing left and right, trying to find a safe place to run away from the battle.

Nevertheless, when she stand up, a spear shoots past the left side of her head to hit its target, killing the man instantly.

She gasp in shock and freeze in fear.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

Before she could turn around, she get grabbed by her arm and forced into a chariot.

"Do you wish to die?" she stare at the handsome tall man, his slightly sun-kissed skin and sharp dark eyes made her breath hitch.

His well-built body is another story.

'SNAP OUT OF IT, YOU ARE ENGAGED'

Even though I studied the ancient Egyptian language, doesn't mean I can understand it whole.

However, her mind is translating the language fine and fast without any errors.

"Who are you?" she ask with a confused expression.

She was shocked at the fact that she replied fluently back with the same language.

"Ahmose the first, son of Seqenenre Tao and the rightful ruler of Egypt"
