![]() ![]() And for anyone unfamiliar with what my parent's comment means: In the game Civilization IV, researching a technology is accompanied by a quote. It's one of the few poems I'm at all familiar with, and I like it a lot.Įdit: Here's the poem, below, for anyone interested. I permit you to accompany me."Ozymandias" will always be in his voice in my mind. Normally I would annihilate them all with a blast from Mesektet, but… It has ever so slightly piqued my interest. By the way, is there anything you desire from me?” “As if I would know the day of your birth! A pharaoh does not involve himself with the affairs of his subjects! He rules them all equally. Perhaps you resemble my brother… No, that can’t be. “You lack the bearing of a king, but you carry yourself with… a certain something. A lowly magus has caught my interest… How? I will permit it. But, I do not mind leading kings once in a while, pharaohs though they are not. “A mere king cannot compare to an absolute Pharaoh. I speak not of royal bearing or royal blood, but those born with the power of kings and an understanding of that burden. All are equal subjects to be ruled by the pharaoh. Be they heroes of great valor, or magi who wield mysteries, they are of no interest to me. “Oh? Could this presence be a pharaoh from another age? One who embodies the sun can be none other than a pharaoh, after all. I will permit it! Tell her that henceforth, she may address me as Brother!” Tamamo, eh? Then I suppose that makes me the elder brother, and her my younger sister. “This presence… Could it be one of the heroes?” Yet, both my past and present bodies far fall short of that ideal.” ![]() ![]() I, the radiant sun and greatest of all pharaohs, must never rot away. “There is only one thing I hate, and that is the frailty of my earthly flesh. They are not to be labeled with your “qualities.” Therefore, all things under my reign are equal in value. “I am none other than the ruler of the earth. As humans prostrate themselves before the sun, so may you revere my countenance.” I! Will accompany you! To save this world, which is my domain! Don’t get the wrong idea.” “You will accompany me to save the world? You’ve got it out of order. There was no need for me to address this.” “Revere the heavens, and prostrate yourself on the earth, for I am the sun’s brilliance you look up to!” ![]() “Impossible… You dare wound the Pharaoh’s person!?” “Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and grovel! The sun, my infinite radiance, descends upon you! Ramesseum Tentyris!” “Nothing on Earth is impossible for a pharaoh. “Here and now, I shall burn you to ash with the radiance of the sun!” “Allow me to demonstrate the valor of a godly pharaoh. My radiance now surpasses that of the sun itself, but I shall grant you the glory of beholding my brilliance. In that case… I shall conduct myself in this form, for a while.
