It all began on that hot day... Ra had sent me to my breaking point. I don't know if it was the fact that he lied about my past or the fact that he was creating other children as if to replace me. It didn't matter; I took matters into my own hands this time. I left Egypt and headed to Nubia. My rage had made me hot and the heat of the day didn't help. I abandoned my human form and took on the form of a wildcat or even a lioness. Everything from vegetation to people were dying. Death lingers with every step I take. With sandy dunes surrounding me from Egypt to Nubia.
The people of Egypt were growing sad. Without me there was not joy in any persons life. Ra had hid himself away with sorrow deep within himself. Each day I wasn't in Egypt, the more danger Ra had faced. So Ra had to get me back, although there was a bargain. Because I had power over life and death, no god dared to face me. Ra was running out of time and asked the wisest god to come forth and fetch me back. Thoth, with a heavy heart, agreed.
Thoth had turned himself into a baboon. He had searched near and far and had finally found me. There I was sitting on a rock, as a wildcat, and was licking my fur. There he said "Hail, daughter of the Sun!" This made me want to kill, but once I saw it was a baboon I did not attack. I was in no mood to be my fathers daughter, so I threatened his life. To stop me from killing him, he tells me a story. I had listened and he had told me of life back home. I longed for my family, I longed for the life I had left behind. This was until I realized that is exactly what this foul creature wanted. I was going to kill him until he began to tell of another story. He had begun to walk away, me being curious, I followed him. This is how Thoth brought me home to Egypt.
