If Dmitri was expecting to get a rise out of him with the baiting inquiry, it wasn’t working. “It wouldn’t surprise me that there’s some level of fact behind it. Most myths are reflective of a truth that simply cannot be rationalized by the contemporary men in the period they are created.”

“You are, indeed, very wise, Doctor. But what if I told you that Victoria Kent’s role in Egypt’s mythology is only rivaled by her role in its history? What if I told you that for much of the classical periods, Victoria was the power behind the throne, as it were?”

“Ah, now I remember!” Shep exclaimed, taking the last bite of oatmeal before folding his arms over his chest and leaning back. “Your story about how she’s some sort of real life Xena, Warrior Princess. Not still trying to pull that one over, are you?”

Dmitri scoffed. “Hardly. What she is ... Or rather, who she is, is something much more devastating and real. You see, Victoria is Sekhmet.”
