Okay I've been playing a game as the Egyptians and I thought as I played that this game would make a great story. So I figured I'd post it here. Please let me know your thoughts on this. If it turns out to be a festering ball of puss I'll end the madness. Thank you.
Chapter One: A Puppet Government
They say that Egypt has and always will be run by Cleopatra. I'd like to find those people and just beat them over the head. Cleopatra's just their to please the masses while I kick the a**es. Ever since The Great Revolt, to our present glory, I have and always will, control the Egyptian Empire.
My name is General Akhenaten.

Chapter 2: The Conspiracy (Part a)
For about 3500 years our people were content to let the "Queen" rule our great nation. Expansion contiued at an impressive rate. Soon nearly all of of the Egypto-continent lie under the influence of Cleopatra. The people had iron, horses, and gems. So some people said "What more do we need?" But there was a whisper that the outlying cities were not paying their full taxes. Cleopatra was content to just let the people build courthouses. She even made a summer palace in the city of Giza. She assumed this was enough. It may have been enough for her, but it wasn't enough for me or the people.
The science advisor had annouced one day that a new form of government had been discovered, a Republic. Where the people elected representives. Cleopatra just laughed and said "What? And give up my power?" So the subject was closed. Or was it?
As I walked through the marketplace of Thebes looking for some Gems to buy my wife for our anniversiry I heard some men in a dark corner whispering.
"I swear if Cleopatra continues on like this we're going to revolt! She cares nothing of us! There must be some way to put a more inteliingent person on the throne or maybe we could have that Republic that is always being mentioned by mystics and prophets are always talking about."
"Quiet!" hissed the other nervously. "if any of the military hear about this we're finished!" I walked over to them. The terror on their faces rose as fast as their heads to look at who was there.
"Don't even bother." Both looked ready to run. " Now what is this talk of revolt?"
"Well uhm sir, we were just saying, I mean to say that-" murmured the second man.
"Cleopatra doesn't give a damn about us!" piped up the first. The second man slapped himself on his head as though the other had just told the captain of the guard that he was having an affiar with his wife.
"Do you think that the people would back a revolt." Both looked puzzled by this question however the first chipped in "Not a day goes by that at least 100 people complain in this city alone!"
"Thank you gentlemen. I will contact you later in the month." I walked home with thoughts of power and glory in my head.
