The Story of Tos
by Kyrstin
Once in ancient Egypt there was pharaoh named Minosa who had a wife named Mina. They were very happy together. Mina and Minosa had five daughters. The oldest daughter's name was Mina II, the second oldest was Tos and then there was Tas. Ta and Toma were twins.
Mina got a dreadful sickness. They all prayed and called to the gods, but Mina died. Minosa mourned and mourned, but it was no use, Mina was gone.
Two years later Minosa got the same thing. He held on and lived. But then he got the same thing again and he died. So Mina II became the pharaoh. Mina II was rude and cruel. She wouldn't worship Ra, the Sun God. The Sun God was very important to the Egyptian people.
One day Mina II gave a guard named Tuta a job at the palace. Tuta hated Mina II. So one night he killed her and then he killed himself. Nobody knew exactly how Mina had died, but they thought that Tuta had stabbed her and then himself.
Tos became the pharaoh. Tos let the people believe in Ra once again. A great celebration was held when Tos became pharaoh. She was only fourteen years old. Tos never liked make-up. She thought it was very silly. Tos was teased by the villages. Some were scared and thought that the gods would hurt them. Because all the pharaohs before her wore make-up they thought Tos was a devil god. They said the gods would kill her kingdom and Tos.
Seven years went by and Tos was still pharaoh. But soon the people got so scared they forced Tos out of the village. Tos ran and ran faraway to a town called Mass. Tos was living on the streets for a year and a half.
When Tos realized that she didn't need to leave because she was the pharaoh she said to herself, "Wait, I shouldn't have to live here. I am rightfully the pharaoh." With that she ran back to the palace.
When she got to the palace she saw her sister Tas sitting on her throne. She barged in and yelled, "Get off my throne you evil doer." Toma and Ta heard and ran to the throne and they both said together, "What is going on here?"
Tas answered, "I don't know, but this is my throne now!"
"No, its not, you banana brain monkey!", screamed Tos.
"Don't call me that!", yelled back Tas.
"Why not?", replied Tos.
"Oh, that is why I hate you", said Tas.
"That's nice", said Tos, "but give me my throne back!"
"Fine. I'll give you your throne back on one condition.", said Tas.
"What? I'll do anything", replied Tos.
"When you die your children, if you have any, will not become pharaoh. Mine will!", declared Tas.
"Fine, I just won't have any children!", said Tos.
"Stop this right now!", said Toma.
"You be quiet", said Tas.
Tos was so angry with Tas that she hired someone she met in Mass to poison Tas. His name was Ous. Tos gave Ous the most poisonous rattle snake. Ous smashed the snake's rattle to get the poison into a liquid form. Then he poured it into a glass. Ous then said, "She will think this is a drink!"
Tos apologized to Tas and then said, "We shall have a royal feast."
That night the feast began. "Tas, you shall have this special drink."
"But there is only enough for one person my great pharaoh.", said Ous.
"Oh, how lovely. Drink up dear sister!", said Tos.
Tas drank the poison and right then and there she fell to the ground. Tos was sitting on her throne the next day. Tos had four daughters and died at the age of 57.
