The Khaptehm Dynasty, Faithful To The Silent King Above All

(Part One.)

The Khaptehm Dynasty is ancient, having cemented their rule long before The Great Slumber, during the First and Second War of Secession. While the Dynasty had some measure of influence during the eras leading up to the War, it was the youngest son of Great Phaeron Khnum of The Riverlands that set the future of the Khaptehm Dynasty, Rha.

Rha was the youngest of the offspring to the royal family, as such he was taught and trained to be a Warden, for it was expected that his eldest sibling would the next Phaeron come the day. Rha was trained by the Royal Wardens in the art of warfare and strategic planning, to perceive the every action of his opponents and ensure total victory. Rha was given the undivided attention of the Library Keepers, absorbing the knowledge they guarded on poetry and literature, of diplomatic influences and psychology.

When the First War escalated, the Khaptehm Dynasty went to the aide the Szarekhan Dynasty, lending whatever able blade they had. But tragedy struck, and Rha was left as the sole living inheritor to the Crown. He took this task solemnly, and set forth to make an example of the Secessionists.

During the Second War he managed to get onto the same battlefield as the Silent King, Szarekh, and would end up saving the Silent King's life.

Since that day, Phaeron Rha would not leave Szarekh's side, His Dynasty fought side by side against the might of the Old Ones, the new Aeldari forces, the Krorks, and then finally the C'Tan. It was during the final revolt against the C'tan that Rha truly cemented his presence in the eyes of not only his Dynasty, but in the eyes of The Silent King. By slaying a C'tan known in texts only as 'The Sun God', though people are unsure if this is a different C'tan or is another name for Nyadra'zatha - The Burning One.

With his conquest, Phaeron Rha would become known as: Great Phaeron Rha, He Who Conquered The Sun-God. But during the many decades, centuries even, of the wars that burned through the cosmos, Rha and Szarekh would grow a close friendship, formally calling Rha a friend some time before the Great Slumber.

But Rha was not alone in his journey,, for he had his own son now: Ahmun. His only son. The sole inheritor to the Sun Crown. Rha had a heavy journey ahead, and He needed to prepare His son for the Great Slumber and his task following it.

Rha needed to be structured, strict, precise when educating his son, to be soft would invite flaws, invite hesitation, and hesitation could bring death.

All that Rha had learnt, all that he had experienced through times of peace and war he would impart onto the young prince. So that when The Sun Crown was passed from his brow, and onto Ahmun, He would be ready.. And that Szarekh would never be alone.

Rha held Szarekh in such close regard, He might even call the Silent King as a brother. For a time, Szarekh was happy to play the part,, until it wasn't a play anymore. Rha and Szarekh spoke with one another as close friends, siblings, father and son. The Crown that Szarekh was heavy, and lonely, but Rha was there to support him. And Szarekh taught Rha much through the years, and shared secrets.

Rha knew of the great journey that both the Necron race would embark on, and the even greater journey that Szarekh will take. A journey that Rha won't live to witness.

{,,,, You See/Understand/Know Already, Do You Not?}

¦Kha, Old Friend.¦

{Do You -}

¦Please, My Friend,, do not ask for such dire knowledge. It pains me already to know, I would not ask You to suffer with Me.¦

{It Is My Flesh/Soul/Body We Speak Of, Szarekh. It Should Be My Toll/Task/Burden To Hold/Sustain/Suffer.}

¦Hahaha,, You are right, as always My Friend.¦

{Will I Have Breath/Moment/Time To Speak To My Heir/Weapon/Son?}

Ahmun-Rha now was the Phaeron of the Khaptehm Dynasty, a task neither he would take alone. His father Rha and Lord Szarekh had made sure of this, for Szarekh had an Heir of his own,, a Daughter whom would inherit the entirety of the Szarekhan Dynasty. Auset-Yah.

The Khaptehm Dynasty, Faithful To The Silent King Above All

Part Two

Lord Szarekh had been married, only for a few short years together, but they were cherished years. Her name was Ma'at, and hailed from [Dynasty Name Here].

Lady Ma'at may not have held the lime light like her husband, but she helped temper his frustrations while he attempted time and time again to unify their people across the ages.

Their union did bring forth fruit, a brilliant woman in the form of Auset-Yah, which translates to "She Who Wears The Crescent Moons". Being the firstborn child of the Triarch Dynasty, Auset got all manner of education and training under the tutelage from elite scholars, Crypteks, Wardens and even directly from Her Father.

Sadly, Lady Ma'at would succumb to an unknown malady

Szarekh and Rha agreed to formally bond their Dynasties following the end of the second Secessionist Wars though it was some years before the Bio-Transference.

-

¦Esteemed Phaeron Rha of The Khaptehm Dynasty, He Who Conquered The Sun God, He Who Summons The Golden Star, My Friend. May I present to You, My Heir-Apparent and Daughter, She Who Wears The Crescent Moons, Auset-Yah.¦

\Your Majesty, an Honor to meet You and Your Dynasty.\

{Salutations/Greetings/Welcome To My Domain/World/Home Lady Auset-Yah. Your Vision/Soul/Beauty Is Without Flaw/Height/Compare. Aiat Aiat.}

\Your words are too kind, Great Phaeron Rha, but I accept them none the less. And You must be,,\

/Heir-Apparent to the Khaptehm Dynasty Throne, He To Bear The Sun Crown, Ahmun-Rha. I offer My Greetings and Soul to You Lady Auset-Yah./

\Hahahaha, please call me Auset, after all we are to be Betrothed with Dawn's First Light, no need to be so formal till then.\

-

Auset and Ahmun, Princess and Prince, Moon and Sun. Poetic is it not? The Sun brought warmth and cast aside shadows. The Moon brought tranquility and called forth secrets.

Two separate Souls, both weighted down by the mantles of leadership. One by the vastness and immeasurable warmth of a Sun, the other by the very presence of their Father's Words and the deepest of secrets.

For Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown.

The new Royal couple would spend most of their time together, both for their own development but also to show to the other Dynasties, that their people were stronger if properly united.

Even when The Bio-Transference was to be done, when the Great Slumber was to be started,, Ahmun-Rha and Auset-Yah went together. Even if Auset-Yah had some hesitations.

-

\,,, Ahmun?\

/Yes My Love?/

\Will it,,, \

/Will what?/

\Will it hurt? When we transfer Our Souls? Into the new bodies, that Vault thing your Father made,, any of it?\

/,,,, I do not know. All I know is that the pain of living another microsecond without you by My side will be torture, compared to spending the rest of My existance within an ageless form and with You at My Side./

The Vault of Eternity. A vast complex spanning for kilometers upon kilometers beneath the surface of the Crown World. Generators, Aether-Pylons, Barracks, Assembly-Plants, everything that a Phaeron would ever need to rule his Dynasty come the Awakening. Swarms of Scarabs and Automata to clean, maintain and repair the vast underground realm while the entirety of the Dynasty slept.

And while it was made to primarily house the consciousness of the Khaptehm Dynasty, it was still built to be a Palace for the living, decorated and clad in polished Blackstone and gilded contures. And as a final gift to His Son and Daughter-in-law,,

A vast array of mirrors and receptors,, so that every time the sun and moon both were at their apex, they would be projected onto the two sarcophagi which contained the sleeping couple.

What greater gift is there in the cosmos, that defies the very titans of time and causality, then Life and Love?
