EMPIRE OF ASH AND GOLD.Updated at Sep 10, 2026, 02:36
The gods have watched humanity repeatedly destroy kingdoms through war, ambition, conquest, and bloodshed.
Isis, Ra, and the ancient gods decide that the world can not continue this way.
So they awaken a forbidden relic beneath the pyramids—something powerful enough to alter the course of history.
But they make a terrible mistake.
The relic doesn't simply change the future.
It tears time apart.
And through that rupture:
Alexander is ripped from the moment before his death.
Cleopatra is ripped from the height of her reign.
They are brought into the same altered world.
Neither understands why they are there.
Their existence is connected to the gods' failed attempt to save the world.
And there is a prophecy surrounding them.
Then comes the central belief:
One prophecy.
One throne.
Only one ruler can survive.
or so they thought.
