Chapter One

     Ancient Egypt
               391 B.C.

Long ago, there was a Pharaoh by the name Ammu Calotep who had a daughter, Princess Nabul-tepites, and her father had once told her that she was going to
rule Egypt. But the Pharaoh fell in love with his brother/ bodyguard Nabmu Calotep's girlfriend Elonu-pheties.

Then one day Elonu-pheties gave birth to the Pharaoh's son. So now the Pharaoh's son will inherit Nabul-tepites's destiny. Out for revenge, Nabul broke the most worst of ancient laws, she made a pact to embrace evil...She made a pact with Set the Egyptian God Of Death and to seal the pact, she had to turn someone against mankind and over to evil. So, Set gave her the worst of the worst gifts, he gave her his dagger "The Dagger Of Eternal Evil". But before she could seal the pact, Pharaoh's guards stopped her and mummified her alive and  put her in a sarcophagus and took her far from Egypt and sealed her in a tomb where she'll spend all of eternity in darkness.

Uhh, not sure what's going on here my dude, but if you want to enter the contest then you need to read and follow the submission rules. Entries aren't supposed to be posted into this thread.

[@Jorick] So, I wanted to double check something that's probably unnecessary. So the topic is about mythology, but most of the rules are about a myth. Both make me imagine rather different things. So what scale does this story need to be? If the story simply *includes* some kind of mythological creature. Would that fit the rule? Would a modern myth fit the prompt? (Like Santa Claus or Urban Legends?) Is folklore separate from mythology? (It's usually done so in scale.)

The title intentionally went for the big boy overarching term as an attempt (possibly made in vain) to note the vast array of things that the term "myth" can cover. I was going more for the "study of myths" meaning than the "collection of myths pertaining to one religion/culture" meaning. The scale of this contest requires only the use of a singular myth, but more than one is fine too if you can fit it all in there.

That said, modern myths, folklore, and urban legends would all qualify as myths under that broad umbrella. However, just including some creature from a myth wouldn't quite count unless the myth is also discussed/explained/mentioned in the entry, though honestly even a line or two can cover your bases there.
