Bayek's Promise was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.
Description
A chance encounter with an ancient and enigmatic circle of stones triggered memories from Bayek's past, and he decided to fulfill a promise made to his deceased son, Khemu.
Dialogue
While on a viewpoint above Camp Shetjeh in Siwa, Bayek spotted a stone circle in the desert.
- Bayek: Ah. The stone circle. I brought Khemu here not so long ago.
Bayek traveled to the Amun stone circle.
- Bayek: My son, you wanted the stars...
He had a flashback of a night in the desert with his son, with Khemu using rocks to build a map on the sand of the stone circles, the pyramids, the Sphinx.
- Bayek: The stone circles show the gods' place in the sky. And your grandfather once told me they also show our place in the world.
- Khemu: I'm going to find every stone circle. The Sphinx and the pyramids, too. And I'll find my place.
The flashback ended, and Bayek entered the stone circle.
- Bayek: And you will have them.
Another flashback to a conversation between Bayek and Khemu began.
- Khemu: Papo, why are there so many poor in Egypt? Yet those who don't belong here are rich.
- Bayek: Egypt has forgotten who she is. Many chose wealth over honor. In the end, they got neither and lost justice as well.
- Khemu: But we are Medjay. We will bring justice and honor back to Egypt.
- Bayek: Yes, my son. We have not forgotten who we are. We will endure no matter our origin.
Amun, the king of gods, divided into two forms as the great goddess of invisibility Amunet, and master of the wind. He upholds justice. Lord of the shadows and the silence, he comes at the voice of the poor. He hears the confessions of the humble and forgives them.
Bayek visited the other stone circles located through Egypt, namely the Apis, the Divine Lion, the Goat Fish , The Great Twins, the Hathor, the Horus, the Osiris, the Pisces, The Scales, Serqet and the Taweret and aligned the constellations. At each location he reminscened on conversations he had with his son and took a small stone from the circle with him.
- Khemu: Papo, what is best in life?
- Bayek: To seek justice and truth. To live with honor, to protect the weak and the poor. And to love your mother.
- Khemu: My friend Kenon said it was to crush our enemies, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
- Bayek: We are Medjay son, not barbarians.
Apis, the bull god. He is the strength of the Pharaoh. Each year he is born as a calf with special markings. The Pharaoh finds this calf, and worships it.
Ah, the Great Twins. To the Greeks, they are twin brothers. To the Egyptians, they are he-goats that rise from the underworld, bringing pestilence and protections. Even the gods have two sides.
Pisces, the two fish. Joined by the thread of this life, they are forever balanced between the afterlife and the underworld.
Oh, Taweret, the hippopotamus who walks. Lady of the Birth House, she is the goddess of fertility and childbirth. Mistress of the Horizon, she brings with her the yearly flood of Ar.
- Bayek: That's the last one. I can take all the shards back to Siwa now.
Bayek returned to the Amun stone circle in Siwa. He placed the shards taken from each stone circle, reminiscing about what Khemu had said.
- Khemu: I'm going to find every stone circle. The Sphinx and the pyramids, too. And I'll find my place.
Bayek knelt at the map of rocks Khemu had made, and placed the shards on each stone circle's location on it.
- Bayek: My son.
Your name, Khemu, means Egypt. Like Egypt, you have forever changed.
The stars are yours now, and your place is with them.
Outcome
Bayek discovered every stone circles in Egypt and aligned them with the constellation in the sky, fulfilling his promise to his son.
