Long ago in ancient Egypt there came to be seven items of great and powerful magic that were passed out to the Pharaoh's High Priests, used to control the mystical powers of shadows.

When the Pharaoh died, leaving the kingdom to his young son many of the High Priests plotted to over through the young pharaoh, who they felt unfit to rule.

The faithful priests tried to convince the young pharaoh to escape with them and then return and strike vengeance upon the betrayers, but the pharaoh refused to abandon his people.

Vicious shadow battles erupted that caused many deaths on both sides before the pharaoh finally emerged victorious as he banished the last of the betrayers' souls to the shadows.

But the shadow powers were now beyond control and were threatening to destroy the entire world if they were not sealed. The young pharaoh made the ultimate sacrifice and sealed his ka in to one of the mystical items for all eternity along with sealing the shadows.

The pharaoh's faithful high priests couldn't bear the thought of the young pharaoh alone in the shadows for eternity. A ritual was done and one of the priests was chosen to seal his own body and soul into the mystical idem so that he could protect the child pharaoh for all eternity.

And that is the end of this tale, or is it...

Who knows, maybe if the young pharaoh was in a different time, in a different place, then maybe he would have accepted the high priest's offer and escaped with him to the other world.
