...a pharaoh. Ty had a vision of his body before he regressed, and his skin shimmered and darkened to fit the bronzed tones of an Egyptian. He would be the heir to the great ancient Egyptian kingdom, worshipped and admired like a god! That was so cool!
As his new self began to develop, he felt more about himself start to change too. Knowledge of the long-lost Egyptian language flowed into his head, as did an understanding of the customs of his people. He came to understand the religious role he would have as an intermediary between the people and the gods as well as the ruler of the land. By virtue of his royal blood, he would be the leader of his people, and as his gestating body grew, he grew more and more excited at the prospect of getting born into this world.
All of a sudden, though, he realised something that really surprised him. His body had not developed its sex yet. He had presumed being a pharaoh he'd be a boy, but realised the title of pharaoh was not gendered- women could be pharaohs as well as men. Ty's gender as a pharaoh would depend on the chromosome of the sperm that had fertilised his egg.
