The sandy boy left the adults, and Enkiel noticed the strange expression on his face for only a moment before he was gone. Whatever it was that this woman and her son had (or did not have, as the case was) he showed no sign of sensing such a thing. This too, was his nature. Enkiel was as much a pretender as his sister wished to be. Unlike her, however, he was much more prepared for such a role.
In Egypt, jackals had been the predominant breed, though traders were many other races and varied in their size and shape. Little Enkiel, who was far more jackal like than his siblings, could blend in with their native brood and vanish—except for his tell-tale markings. The old ones had knew of his power and respected it. While no living soul had the desire to venture into the ancient tombs of kings, the humans had put their lives on display. Before he had left, the boy had stolen an artifact he carried with him always.
It was in part to remind himself that regardless of where he was, Egypt was home. Not this cold, miserable place—Egypt. “That is unfortunate,” he said. There was neither approval nor disapproval within his voice. Enkiel, as always, appeared indifferent to suffering. “You share my father’s eyes. I hope you did not inherit his less viable traits.” Madness, as it was. Samael was as mad as their mother had become, babbling about his holy nature when any fool could see that Enkiel was born from a higher power. Samael was no earthly god, he was simply a man who had brought his children a bond to a ruling class family. How unfortunate he had not been born a jackal. That might have made their lives easier than dealing with this place.
