Journal Entry: December 5, 1809

[Benjamin Naifeh Atiyeh]

My Dearest Tia,

I miss you there is not a day that goes by that I am not thinking of you. The memory of your smile is what keeps me going day after day. The memories of our laughing and running through the streets of Cairo.

As I have told you in previous entries... Amun is trying to teach me or rather mentor me. For what I am not sure, He will only tell me bits and pieces and even then they do not make sense.

Amun will not let me out of his sight. If it isn't him that is watching he asks his servant Kebi to keep an eye on me. I believe that Kebi wishes that I would disappear. Maybe I should?

I believe in my stone cold heart that I need to find you. I can not go on any longer without knowing what has happened to you, Uncle Asim and the rest of the family.

I must find the most opportune time.

Love,

Benjamin
