four perfect beings, positioned before herself and her husband. she herself sat proudly behind them, alongside her beloved, her eyes bright with the joy her family brought her, and with her eagerness for this occasion. she could not help but try to think back—could she remember sitting before the then Hem as a girl for this very thing? so many times she had sat poised before and eventually beside her mother and father while they both lived, learning,
she did not know it would all be for something quite so grand as this!
Toula, in those days, never imagined that this day for herself would be as it was now. no—she had imagined herself wed to a Sphinx of some other kingdom, aiding her father and then, when he had passed, aiding @Makono with the alliance. the cubs would come to be named, as she would never give the divine part of Herself up and would, in turn, share it with her young. and when she returned here, the reunion with her fiercest sister would be sweet. young would crowd both of their feet, the children of Pharaoh and Godswife—
Makono! a fierce pang of longing tore through her. they would visit her pyramid after this, she decided. Makono would know them even still. 
and now it was she herself bearing the sigil of Pharaoh, and her own young that would someday inherent the lands she and Rashepses would lay claim to. she had always known the Hem would be present this day, presiding over the rite, but not that she would be sitting upon the Horus Throne! the Gods worked in mysterious ways—it was undoubtedly Them that orchestrated this all. the pain of the losses endured lingered, but it was softened with the knowledge that death was not the end. that they might be looking upon them now! more than ever, Toula felt her father.
how strange, that these ends brought the most brilliant of beginnings! Toula had ushered in an era of peace, of prosperity—she had continued her fathers great work of expanding trade. in every reign there was some turmoil—heretics, attacking her Hem and striking down a Hemet. oh, @Melody! Rashepses would see to it that his army was rebuilt, see to it that no hand could rise against them without the consequence of losing it!  and their children… 
what had her father hoped and dreamed for her? as she looked upon @Den and @Neith and @Khaemwaset and @Satakhetem the Pharaoh prayed for peace and happiness and love in their hearts to accompany the grand and great things they were each meant for. that she herself, with her husband, would ever be able to bear witness to such. what things had her brothers @Siptah and @Sethnakht accomplished? ah, they were too far away! Toula thought on them with love in her heart, but hoped her own children would never go so far away! 
she traveled both back in time and to days that did not text exist in the span of seconds. Toula had instructed her young that the Hem would guide them, and to listen to him this day!
